It's good to see you back in business, Geaux ^_^

Cleared up the double-post ;)

<3 Hope things are going well, hon. If you want my MSN or email, just give me a poke!

EVE won't be the same without you, but you've got some good stuff going :) Feel free to poke me on MSN anytime!

It wasn't the rage so much as the fact that gaming media sites picked up on it; this is why I'm asking you to keep blogging, because it does get noticed :) As I said in another response, it was heart-warming to see the reaction of the player-base, because it meant you cared about how things were affecting the virtual environment.

To answer your question: I like what I'm seeing in the dev-blogs. But knowing who has been let go makes me worry about whether they can pull it off with the level of quality needed. Most of us didn't even have time to wrap all the work we've done into an internally-available package so that someone else can continue with it.

It was very much more to me than just a paycheque. I'm proud to have been part of CCP, even if only for a little while.

Good to see you're still alive and kicking, mate :)

Dude.

I want you to do something for me:

Take a DEEP breath, and put the soap-box away. You're starting to repeat yourself.

You'd be better off taking all of your walls of text and posting them to your own blog or internet-space. Here in the comments section, it's becoming more than a little tl;dr and not helped by the fact that they're mixed in with all the other comments.

The fact that I am unwilling to point fingers in my own public space does not mean I am completely blind to everything that has happened in the past five years and more. I might be a woman on the internet, but I am not stupid.

Please take your rants to a more appropriate venue, before I start asking if you're Jade Constantine.

Please, don't call me "dear" unless you know me personally.

It amazes me that the entirety of the blog post has been ignored in favour of trying to chastise me over four words. I will not back down on that issue: the people who were trying the most to help got the most abuse from the players. I was not even a direct recipient, the people who received the brunt of the verbal attacks were my friends, while I was simply preparing the game for localisation.

CCP today is not the CCP of the early years, and there are different people in charge. I will be blunt, the situation surrounding Monoclegate was handled badly, and there is no one person who is at fault for that. In honesty, while the leaking of internal publications and mails is a low thing for an employee to do, I think the fallout perhaps had a positive effect on the company; many eyes were opened in the aftermath, and things are changing, albeit slowly.

Thanks, man.

I did try to write this without pointing fingers anywhere; I never saw one person, event, or core value to be the sole point at which things fell apart and I still don't. But the comments section here appears to have been appropriated for that discussion, so I'll just let it roll.

Just a side note that Helicity IS back ingame. I just chatted with him in local ^_^
