Things are afoot in the world of Eve. Blackhole Bob, the guy behind Eve Gathering and a very good newbie guide announced that he had issues with CCP and he was quitting the game. This was announced on his site in a message that was pulled before I got onto the story and had been replaced with a message that he would post a full account before the weekend. He also had pulled down the newbie guide, but that has since been restored due to, I believe, the number of emails he got about it. Now the site is purely the newbie guide and there are no messages about this any more. On top of that Eve News Network, which is a podcast that Bob appears on is taking a two week break which I'm not sure was planned before this kicked off. In fact he's the best bit of it as the show really doesn't work with only one presenter, but more on Eve podcast rants on another day.
The cause of this is all rather vague still, but I think it either boils down to the newbie guide and ISDs use of it or it could be related to the Vegas related events that he runs. The only people who know for sure don't seem to be talking at the moment, but I suspect that nobody is going to come out of this looking good.
