Ask the passengers of the Costa Concordia if they enjoyed the trip.

Don’t even think this is a relief.  
Removing BO is like the day after a hurricane.

The day will break to desolation.

The conditions for rebuilding are harder than those encountered when everything was built.

Some casualties will not return.

Here’s my take:

- No one said the BO was permanent.
- CCP felt the pinch but we have to take it easy with each other. Let’s not get cranky.
- Nobody wins because the damage is done. The playability is compromised atm and it’s gonna be a long fight to rebuild because let’s be crystal: _we will see PVP in record breaking numbers_.
- The chaos has just begun.

These points are from the perspective of those most affected by the BO.

We will witness, live in concert, the aftermath of such disproportionate move.  
In my opinion, there is gonna be a rush from every corner with a difference:  
There will be PVP like hell.

When we ALL finally recognize that it was not the local comms what was holding the hunters and tru PVPers back, we will turn the focus to the real issues and how to address them.

SOV is what needs a change. It will take effort, discipline and creativity.

I will not resub what was removed for now.  
The remaining, which exp November, will only get monthly renewal because it gives me a tighter control. It matters little to me if it’s more expensive.  
If it wasn’t for the 6mo autopay, I’d already be out.  
Now I’ve learned that I cannot trust enough to give 6mo in advance.

I paid by the year and am stuck along for the ride till Feb. By that time, we’ll all have a clearer picture. After that though…

Yea, but next time those numbnuts better explain in detail what they are doing and why. And since you seem to be talking directly to the idiots at CCP, you might want to tell them that they do need to apologize for this debacle publicly.

As far as @CCP_Falcon being drunk, lets hope his drunk state doesnt get him the idea of screwing again. And ihe might want to put the vodka and marijuana down for 2 minutes and make as big of announcement as he did for the BO. And with the same excitement

Will wait till the end of my current subscription to see what idiocy CCP comes up with between now and then. And then will see about resubscribing

If it really goes, I sincerely hope it takes a different forum. 10 minute delay for example.

It’s going to take equivalently dramatic change to fix the game without BO–simply farmville in nullsec can’t resume as it was doing before BO.

Again with the inflation nonsense. Can you please look at the price indices? Inflation has not really been a serious problem.

Seriously can you stop posting like a stunning ignoramus?

Why not break null into two pieces and make the first piece vanilla null and the other piece “sub-null” or some such that continues the new local comms blackout?

Now it’s back to raw skill instead of free ganks - took them long enough. Hopefully the numbers will recover enough to avoid people loosing their jobs over this monumental fail…
