Hello Kelduum. Long time EVE player here (former co-ceo of PlanetSide Defense Union, back in like, what, 2003?). I most recently came from a stint in Red vs. Blue because I needed to get my PVP fix, so I'm quite familiar with EVE University.
Though, in all seriousness, one of the main reasons I joined RvB was to teach newbies things, so I can relate to EU.
Anyhow, I hope that you will, in true CCP style, inject more graphs into everything we hear from the dev team. We all know Smed is a big fan of EVE too so I can see why he would want to hire a statistician from that community.
I've said it multiple times before, there's a connection between EVE and PlanetSide in a way I've never been able to describe. They are completely unrelated games and yet again and again I find people who are passionate about both.
Welcome!
