ccp did post some info regarding blackout. , i dont recall if it was a blog or dev reply … while player numbers were down , it was mostly ratting and mining activity . (bots?) while pvp dropped only slightly , showing blackout having exactly the result ccp intended . ---

Care to share? I can’t find anything of that sort. [2019/09/16 – Nullsec Blackout Concludes! | EVE Online](https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/2019-09-16-nullsec-blackout-concludes) Is the only news piece talking about the end of Blackout and results and it is most obviously saying nothing at all. ---

Link it. You want to prove something. But I found it anyway and by the looks of it all metrics took a nosedive into a pool with no water during blackout. Destruction also shifted from null sec elsewhere, according to the blog. Plus, nothing in the blog entries is from CCP. It’s all just player conjecture. CCP said _they_ would release information on blackout results. _That_ is what I am missing. 🙂 The best thing about the Blackout is still CCP Falcon’s face when he announced the end of it and then got to leave the company. The glory of his compunctious face during the video cannot be overstated. ---
