It's hard to see how the people with the best player-driven economy on the market failed to grok that people want to be fighting <b>for</b> something. Since they didn't put in any economic rewards and didn't make the system ownership mean anything in larger game terms, everybody I know in FW eventually decided the whole thing was pointless. It was a lot of fun while it lasted, and I hope it comes back. But CCP hasn't had a word to say about fixing it, in fact they seem happy with it. Pity. So now I'll have to see what sort of trouble I can stir up with a cloak-warping blockade runner.

It's been 2 months since I could play EVE and it was hard then to find anybody to shoot at. If I ever come back, maybe I'll join the Gallente to give the Caldari something interesting to shoot at ;) The people on the Gallente side never got their act back together?

I still have hopes that CCP will introduce some new overpowered reward mechanics that will drive the old corps back to fw (Taco, Steel, Achmed, etc.) Ahh well, ill keep reading if you keep posting :) Sad to see you leave, although Caldari FW has been dying for a while now so its no surprise.
