Today, community manager kieron, who made the original CCP post on the matter, posted a followup on the official forums, linking to two blog posts from CCP developers. The first, from the accused developer, admits to having provided blueprints illicitly, going so far as to list them by name. The developer, whose handle is t20, expresses his regret over the incident and notes that none of his co-workers or in-game colleagues should bear any part of the responsibility.

All allegations mentioned above are untrue, except one. Sadly enough, the allegation regarding unlawfully obtained blueprints are, in my case, true. IÂ’m here, laying out the facts of what happened in June 2006 so this whole issue -- which jeopardized my colleagues, my company and our community -- can be put behind us, I hope for the better.

The second linked blog post is from CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Petursson, who speaks on the company's policies towards developer meddling in the game, the importance of self-policing in an economically driven and single-world game such as EVE, the necessity for MMO developers to play the games they develop, and this case in particular. Apparently, ordinarily such transgressions simply result in the employee being terminated from CCP; for this case, however, due to apparent complexities that made it difficult to pin down responsibility early on, CCP instituted what is essentially an "Internal Affairs" division at the company that is tasked with monitoring potentially harmful employee power abuse within EVE.

It is no trivial thing when corruption takes place. In our case it's no different than the injustice of public servants in the real world feathering their own nests rather than ensuring the prosperity of the many. Living in a country of a comparable population as the world of EVE (Iceland only has 300,000 inhabitants), I sure know how it can feel when governance is not balanced and feeling powerless to stop it. I am certain that members of the EVE community are now going through similar emotions.

When the recent allegations came to light, our Internal Affairs department immediately went to work, reexamining logs for all the developers involved in great detail over the course of several days. They have concluded that none of the other developers abused their positions to gain any advantage for themselves or others. In accordance with our rules however, those characters must be removed from the game. Developers have had, and continue to have, characters in many alliances in the game, and it is wrong to assume that the presence of several characters in any one particular alliance is either uncommon, or automatically indicative of cheating.

It does not appear that t20 has been fired from CCP, though the developer characters involved in the situation have been deleted.
