@everyone with the TTC treaty coming to an end i have begun unanchors on all TTT structures. Multiple entities will likely come kill them long before the unanchors complete however. No service modules will be turned off. Thank you all for your patience and your trust over these years and i hope our services have helped you through your time in eve.
also be noted, ill be closing this server in 7 days or when the TTC structures die. Not that there is much value here
-Vily, TTC Discord server
The Tranquility Trading Consortium clearly saw the writing on the wall.
The TTC Logo on their structures
The above message went out on the TTC Discord server a little before 16:30 UTC. All of the northern structure run by the TTC, including the Keepstar, the Tatara, and the two Sotiyos in Perimeter are currently unanchoring.
The tower is currently unanchoring
Traders had already begun moving their product from the TTT Keepstar to Jita 4-4 as soon as the news of the Imperium leaving the TTC broke yesterday. No doubt that pace will quicken now that things are clearly winding down.
As noted, it is expected that somebody will try to show up and blow up some of the TTC structures before they are brought down, so if you have something there, best remove it sooner rather than later unless you want it to go to asset safety.
There was some wishcasting about letting the TTT run out of fuel so it could be turned into a giant loot pinata, with all the contents spilling out into space rather than being moved to asset safety, but that level of fuckery was never seriously on the table.
And there is some question about what happens to the southern TTC structures, including a Keepstar in Domain that the Imperium holds. Gobbins is upset about that. We’ll see if that leads to any action. [The Imperium retorts]
All in all, the TTC era was an oddity in the game, bringing together some strange bedfellows who stuck together on this one issue even when those involved were on different sides in a null sec spanning war. Gevlon predicted this sort of trading scheme would come to pass, but he never predicted how it would end. He would scoff at the idea of giving up ISK like this.
Last look at the Tranquility Trading Tower
The TTC Discord has some interesting chat in the General channel, including a visit from Aryth, who talked over some old times around CCP and Goons. Take a look if you have a chance. I scraped some of it, but Pastebin’s content filter prevents it from being shared, so it will be lost once the server is disbanded.
