Hello,

about one week ago we had a disruptive earthquake which caused death and lots of damage.

Besides the human casualties, we had a damage of about 5B euros (more than 6 billion dollars) and it hit our industries in one of the top regions that produce the wealth and occupation in our country.

Despite the earthquake was not incredibly strong, it kept having subsequent shakes for almost the same magnitude of the big hit and we are still experiencing adjustment quakes that are causing more damage.

The phenomenon caused soil to rise by 12 centimeters (4.7in) in the whole area (satelite measurement).


Now, I am the Holder of the largest EvE charity, I have tens of billions sitting there that could be converted in PLEX to send to those living in those areas.

Therefore I humbly request you start an emegency campaign to aid the victims and the many, many (tens of thousands) workers now without a factory to return (and many without an home at all any longer).

Here is the regional institution to contact to send the money: Protezione Civile Emilia Romagna.

If needed I can contact them and translate Italian <=> English as it's needed.

I am as well hodling several billions worth of donations (from players whom quit). Ready awaiting the next PLEX drive.

I feel bad for not reading the newspapers though as I've not heard of this Italy quake (bad joke incoming: sell more pizzas).

@CCP I am ready to donate when your next drive is here.

@Community, should you feel you want to donate and know that it will go to CCP (in case you leave else you're more than welcome to donate directly to CCP) I accept anything you wish to give to the cause and will convert it into PLEX when CCP holds their next drive.

Sure, why not. Good enough excuse for plex market manipulation as any other.

Probably nowhere.

We still need a plex for American national debt fund though the invasion would do well to create jobs for both sides.


Stop playing Eve and send your money to your government, that would be a good step for you and awesome for us Lol

Going to ferociously bump this until we get an answer. Been too long since the last PLEX drive. Thank you Vahrokha and Chribba for helping organize donations.

For reference, the charity operation has been showcased by CCP CEO Hilmar at Fanfest 2011.
This video is proof of having sent PLEXes for a total value of US $4286.

It is still a drop in the ocean but it's still better than a fat nothing. Along with the other donors, the amount could be easily 50 times more than that.

Well this is the eve online forums after all. Bumping for support of our Italian friends in need after the earthquakes.

Free publicity for CCP during summer is good, right?

Thread deserves front page. Though I would also suggest a mail to CCPGames.
