   Oh wow, that IS sad. Jester was a great blogger, for sure, kept me interested in EVE nearly every day at work. As most people have said, I didn’t always agree with Jester, but it was always a well thought out idea if he blogged it.

   I found Jester was (or rather is) an excellent commentator on the evolution the EvE community. His best posts often had a historical point of view that even a non-EvE player would “get”.

   This and recent posts over at TAGN have got me thinking a bit about my own decline in blogging. I only blog when I have things to say and I often don’t write a ‘repeat’ post unless my position on a topic evolves or changes.

   For example, I still have the same opinions on RMT and F2P that I wrote about back when Allods was F2P news. I could regurgitate that opinion for page views the next time a F2P game shows up but since I write for me and I already wrote it once, I don’t feel the motivation to write it again.

   It’s rare these days that a truly ‘new’ topic comes up that I feel compelled to write about. Oddly enough, there were things that I did want to write about that were about things I experienced in a major leadership role in a large clan. But, politically, I couldn’t write about them and they went unsaid.

   I really enjoyed his FOTW and KOTW series. It gave me a much deeper insight as to how the game mechanics work in EVE and the larger meta of the game. I also enjoyed his coverage of major events in the game.

   What I will miss a lot less are his silly anti-Goonswarm rants and his strange fixation on trying to carebear the game (the Erotica1 incident). I think it was almost as if he was setting himself to fade into obscurity in recent months.

   I do hope he returns to blogging.
