Hands Off, My Loots!

Fare Thee Well

This will come as a shock to some people, while some already know. (and so soon after joining back up with the Ninjas and being made a Director…sorry about that VP :( ).

I’m quiting EVE, for good.

It’s a very complicated set of reasons that I’ve decided to take this route…but to sum it all up, EVE is hurting me and my family, and I can’t let it do that anymore.

I’ve played EVE for about two and a half years now, off and on, back and forth…with the reason for me taking a break each time either burn-out, or the game affecting my relationship with my family. I’ve realized that no matter what I do, the game always creeps back up to that level of interference and the only way I can solve it is to put down for good.

No, you can’t have my stuff…I already gave it all to Suddenly Ninjas…and I hope they use it to suicide gank you! :p

———-

Now, onto more pressing issues. What to do with the blog?

I was thinking about keeping it up, and turning it into a Ninja Fiction blog (not sure if I want to leave it in the same format, or convert it over to a RP style of writing?) What I mean, is I’ll still be that bastard Ninja that likes to prey on the idiots of EVE…but the stories, chat logs, and incidents will all be completely fake and made up by me.

What do you guys think of that? I’d love to hear your opinions about it! Would you like to read it? Or would knowing it all didn’t really happen make you uninterested.

I’ve had a LOT of people privately talk to me in game and via email about how much they enjoy my blog. How they read it at work, or in the truck rest areas (I had a convo with a Trucker the other day, that was interesting)…and wanting me to post more since I haven’t in a while.

While I know I must leave EVE, I’d hate to let all you loyal readers down by just having the blog go away if you’d still like to see something like this. It’s up to you! Let me know what you think in the comments, or email me at cyberineve @ gmail dot com.

(And for those that care, I’ll also soon be making a LotRO blog, because that’s the only game I’ll be playing now because my entire family plays it and that is where we spend some of our quality time :) )…hit me up if you play LotRO on the Meneldor server :)

    Good luck, man. I am one of the people who has enjoyed reading your blog during downtime, at work, in the bathroom, etc. It’s always been good for a chuckle. I understand the complex dichotomy of balancing Eve-life vs Real-life, especially if others in your family are not capsuleers.

    Best of luck in the days ahead. Gonna be hard to sit in LOTRO knowing you can’t trick any of them out of their swords..

    Good luck!

    Much as it sucks giving up hobbies that we enjoy, our families will always come first. Kudos to you for realizing your limitations and putting your family first.

    I wish you’d stop saying “LOTRO” and just be honest with everyone dude. I mean I know you told me in confidence that you were really going off to play WoW and Evony Online, but I think your true fans and readers will except that…amiright guys?

    …guys?

    ;) We’re going to to miss you man…have fun, be well, and as always, fly safe.

    Take care, fly safe-ish, and gank some noobs in Hello Kitty Online for us!

    @Casiella: You’d think he’d stop confiding these things with the two of us…how embarrassing.

    We’re not the most discreet folks around, I suppose ;)

    I mean at least I didn’t spill the beans about Cyb’s bed-wetting problem he was telling me about.

    …Oh dang it, I’ve gone and done it again. Sorry dude.

    Hey Cyb,

    hope you are having a good time with the family. Would be nice to keep in touch but please do not write fictional Ninja stories, let alone fake chat logs. Those are only interesting as long as it’s about real tears.

    Fancy writing some LOTRO stories instead?

    @Scop,

    Yeah, I’ve decided not to go with any of the Fictional stuff, it would be too hard to come up with chatlogs like that truthfully :)

    I am actually planning on starting a LotRO Blog, just haven’t come up with a name yet…as soon as I do, and get everything setup and a design done, I’ll throw a link on here. :)

    @ Aiden, Cas

    Thanks alot for telling all my dirty little secrets! :p lol

    Good luck with the transition buddy! I’d say I’m sorry to see you go, but…its one less person tryin’ to gank me, so I’m not really. (-;
