“I’m scared,” he whispers, “whiskey tango foxtrot… I’m scared…”
A single tears slide silently down his cheek, tracing a path along his gentle smile lines. “What’s wrong, honey,” a gentle voice inquires from across the room.
“Um… nothing… It’s just… local is back…”
“Oh, sweetie, and you were so excited that you got to fly around… what’s it called? NoSec?”
“Nullsec, but, yes. And now, I don’t know what to do. I logged off, then your parents came for the weekend, and now… local is back, and I’m in the middle of Nullsec. I don’t have any idea what I’ll see when I log in, but I know everyone in the system will see me.”
It’s a scene playing out repeatedly amongst New Eden’s wormhole and “sorta wormhole” corporations, as casual gank-bears finally get around to catching up on patch notes, only to discover they’re “lost” in K-Space.
What neither Null Bears nor Gank Bears realize, however, is that things are unfolding exactly as Hilmar intended. Inside sources reveal this was the plan all along. By injecting chaos, CCP created a perfect storm, uniting the player base in salty frustration, and building a new appreciation for how “they” feel when their play-style is upset.
CCP is all about community building…
Mission Accomplished!
