That being said, again, many EVE Echoes ISK gamers would not have expected up this shake - something Dan himself admits when looking back on itas well as what it felt like to be the new kid on the block coming off the departure of, what essentially is the EVE icon.

"The neighborhood would not have expected the shift. And you know what - coming into it, I kind of stepped into Svienni's shoes. I've never considered myself substituting CCP Guard since that's impossible, he's absolutely an icon of the sport, of the community and will always be.

"I had been a tiny bit nervous coming into it, however, understanding that it had been on the rear of his departure. I've been doing lots of [things] like flow hosting and things, such as I get out there and now I'm the talking head, I do all of the goofy things on Buy EVE Echoes Items Pulse. [...] So I was worried coming into it, whether the community would adopt me as readily or if they'd be like,'Oh, this guy's just trying to be another CCP Guard.' But it's really going super well. Some people have remarked that even though I have only been here a relatively short quantity of time, it feels like I've been in existence for much longer in terms of activity."
