Who am I going to take the **** out of now

Yet you haven't given any explanation as to why he is not just random guy nor have you explained how him no logging blogging effects anything that happens in game or the community.

(Underlining is mine)

Ripard Teg was never really part of the CCP '' in crowd'' anyway so the only-thing he looses is 1 plex per month for his blog efforts. I hated his views on the game it was all nerf PVP and leave the bears alone coupled with give pet players free **** which is pretty much everything I was against, SO YEAH UHM GOOD RIDDANCE!

Now if we could just get Mynnna to stop talking shite then today would be a pretty good Sunday.

Although I like that Erotica is no longer part of the eve community, Jester will always be remembered for being a whiney carebear to me, and is the antithesis of the spirit of eve. The reason people like eve is that the community are treated like adults, not kids that need to be given a cookie when they make a mistake and start to cry. I didn't listen to the audio clip, as I don't want to waste my time listening to the garbage which Erotica spews. Everyone else should have just done the same.

I'm disappointed in you, I believed you might be one of those players that might have taken a greater interest in the game than just who was being braodcast as primary. Assuming you are not just trolling, of course.

Ripard Teg, the playing character behind Jester's Trek, was elected onto CSM 8 on a popular ticket that didn't require block votes. Indeed, his popularity was so high that he achieved the position of Vice Chair. Through Jester's Trek, Ripard kept everyone up to date with the goings on of the CSM on a weekly basis - something that has never been done before (afaik) and set a very high bar for CSM9 members to emulate.

Through Jester's Trek, Ripard intelligently, diligently & thoroughly covered most aspects of life in EVE Online - he covered lots of the meta goings on, Quotes of the Week, Fit of the Week and produce many new player friendly guides. Jester's Trek wasn't just a blog, it was a magazine and reference document all rolled into one. The man was a blogging machine - he had the ability to post quailty content almost on a daily basis. There was even the occaisional sightings of his alter ego, Garth, who liked to comment on some of the more controversial aspects of the game and wasn't afraid to pull any punches. There was always something for everyone and this is why it will be missed.

Tell me why I should care?

Losing Jester's Trek is like losing your favorite expat bar: It will only be missed by the whiners, and those who won't miss it are the smart ones.

Your opinion tells more about you than about Ripard...

most people commenting here are a collection of *********

If I were a potential new player and had a look at the forums first (which are public) before trying the game itself (which you have to download and register for first), I would shy away in an instant.

Wow. Ive often noticed how the supposedly griefer-dominant community of Eve really only exist in the forums itself. Sure, there are griefers in the game, but you are always given ways around them, or through them by the game mechanics. Never has someone ruined my day if it wasnt partly my own fault.

But those forums? Im sorry to say, but most people commenting here are a collection of ********* and most of them represent themselves in nearly every thread that comes along.

My god, people...

Back on topic: Ripard, all the best to you. Your blog was, for better or worse, always an interesting read!

Good riddance. No one ever drumbeat harder about the "EVE is dying" rhetoric, not even Dinsdale. Nevermind the incessant, incredibly obnoxious carebear advocacy.

EvE's own NIgel Farrage is stopping his hateful blog?

Worrying about facts like this (PCU trend) and this (New character trend) is not "drumbeating" bad news.

It will only be missed by the right people who think much too high of themselves, and those who won't miss it knew that it was the same crap as all the other blogs anyway.
