Had he been in HoJ, Alexander would never have wept.
Yada yada yada.
tlwr; MAADI will leave BCMAADI - a bunch of guys frequenting the HoJ forum/community, that play lots of different games, of which EvE is one. We go where the fun is, and try flock together on a particular server.The height of our EvE presence was in 2009, but some of us sticked to the game ever since. As you might have noticed though, our activity hasnt been high. Coming to 0.0 with you guys was an experiment for us that we hoped would flare our enthusiam for the game again and would bring some of our friends back to the game. Both things didn't quite happen. Mang has too much fun in RvB, I didn't get out of 0.0 what I wanted, Hrod was so busy hauling stuff that he didnt have time for anything else, etc. And the ex-EvE HoJ members that we had hoped would come back found their fun on other games instead.Also - our general discontent with CCP's policy for 0.0 hasnt helped either.All in all, we've decided to stop our experiment and pull out of 0.0. Part of our towers have been pulled out already, the last ones will follow (if they haven't already). We payed this month's rent to give you guys the opportunity to attract (a) new (corp) to help pay the rent, etc. But we are sure you can pull your weight around there, as in practice you have done so already over the last month (with our activity near zero).MAADI will stay as a stable base for the HoJ folk, but most of it's active members will prolly move on to greener pastures. Some of us will join Mang in RvB, of others I do not know yet what their future plans are yet. All I know that we will stay in touch through the HoJ forum and EvE chat-channel 'HoJ gaming'.I am sure Mang will neatly tie off any loose ends he has left in the BC-empire corp, but I'll leave it to him to tell you about his planned actions there (as I dont have a clue what's left undone and what not).All that's left for me to do is wish you all the luck and heaps of fun in 0.0. I'm sure you guys will be succesful as you lot have lots of guys with the required skills and enthusiasm HF!
Hello all,We have been talking about asking for a rent change... and I was supposed to talk to -A- about it...Well I won't, since -A- already announced changes due to the new upcoming CCP changes.Essentially it comes down to those systems with a lower sec rating then us will pay less, we pay the same and systems with a higher sec rating will even pay more...So nothing changes for us... This is not the final word on it though, they will be monitoring these changes themselves (the one in charge of renting is also renting from -A- himself, so he knows what happens) and will change the system if needed...Sofar by the way it doesn't seem bad yet... there indeed is a nerf on the anoms, but the plexes should be fixed... so in the end it should improve our systems (if we get full upgrading done that is and it seems the rent amounts are actually based on that). We have to see what happens thus.On another note: Ras is in charge of upgrading the systems (both) to pirate 4 / entrapment 3!Then we will be done with upgrading for now... we will then have a small billion left and i don't want to take risks... so that stays in the bank. If we can raise some extra cash on alliance ops or so we can always get more in off course, otherwise the next ones will be next month.Sin
I do find AAA's position gay as fuck btw:QuoteHello all,We have been talking about asking for a rent change... and I was supposed to talk to -A- about it...Well I won't, since -A- already announced changes due to the new upcoming CCP changes.Essentially it comes down to those systems with a lower sec rating then us will pay less, we pay the same and systems with a higher sec rating will even pay more...So nothing changes for us...

They took it well.Here's hoping they keep on trucking.
