For a variety of reasons I am no longer playing EVE. It has been a great 5 years, but I just can't get into the game and have been thinking about quitting for a while now. With the PLEX for good announcement I have decided to donate my character to Typhoon relief and make it permanent.
As a result I am selling Toterra. All proceeds will be contributed to Typhoon relief.
Here is my post onthe EVE O Forums: WTA 83 Million SP Sub-cap pilot * All isk will be donated to PLEX for good
Thanks for everyone who has ever flown with or against me. I would especially like to thank Agony Unleashed for just being awesome. I can`t recommend enough that new players should do one of their courses.
Cheers!!!!

CCP Financial statements and the failure of DUST514
CCP's financial statements are actually available on the web. Having a look at the first 6 months of 2013 a certain number stood out...
Revenue from subscriptions and in-game sales (2013.01.01 to 2013.06.30) = 34,337,747 USD.
It also mentions 490,000 subscribers of EVE Online at the end of 2012. This gives us an average revenue per subscriber of .... $11.68 per month. This sounds a bit on the low end, I can only assume that revenue per subscriber from china is a bit lower than on TQ.
What is missing? How about DUST514. Where is any of the revenue from that game? Marketing for this period was over $12 million, I suspect much if not most of this is for DUST514.... yet the revenue contribution from Dust appears to be zilch, nada, zero.
It is official.. DUST514 is a total failure. As if we didn't know that already.
