If you have 3-4 accounts you probably spend a grand or so on Eve anyway over 2 years or so why not...

Not sure how much CCP is worth though and if there are enough Eve players who aren't unemployed :)


Duuuuuude, relax, we can make more brownies.

LOL putting control of this game in the hands of the players who primary gameplay style is the metagame is such a wonderful thing to do. Lets put the wolves in charge of the cattlepen. Suuuurething brah! I would give it 0 minutes before the system would be metagamed and all the incoming cash and game control being controlled by 1 or 2 ingame corps being run by 1 or 2 players.

I am not sure that 450 thousand of any currency would be enough to purchase CCP, even if they were willing to sell.



As I always suspected.... only 450 real players in Eve with multiple alts Lol

That would net you about half a years worth of their expenses if I don't miss my guess. 100 Grand each might do it, and give you some liquid assets for future development.

Personally though, I like CCP running it and I can't imagine, (nor do I want to), the downslide EVE would take if it became a Co-Op.
