In the wake of the devastating earthquakes that have rocked Nepal and the surrounding regions over the course of the last week, EVE players have once again banded together to request that a PLEX for GOOD drive is held to provide support for those in need of aid.

We're happy to announce that on the request of the EVE Community, PLEX for GOOD has returned to assist with relief efforts.

Please see this Dev Blog for further information.

For any questions regarding PLEX for GOOD, we have a FAQ on the EVElopedia too!

Please also keep an eye on this post for details of PLEX auctions in support of PLEX for GOOD, where we will be auctioning signed Limited Edition and standard hardcover copies of the Art of New Eden, as well as EVE: Source, EVE Posters and other goodies in the second week of the PLEX drive.

If there are any further questions, feel free to ask in this thread!

Excellent news, on behalf of all the folks who initially supported this effort, thanks for getting this put together in such a short time!

Especially when it's a community of utter bastards :)

Awsome.

But what are teh chances to get something else as symbolic gift as well. Maybe genolution implants, quafe zero or a shipskin something like that. To be honesst I would be donating even without any ingame reward, but it might recieve even more attention from more greedy players if there was more ingame reward for it.
After all its just a T-shirt on a small picture few players pay attention to. A SKIN or implant does way better at letting the player now his money didn't just vanished.

A red cross ship skin would be kind of cool to have as an in game item. With proceeds going to this as well. Kind of like a year round donation drive, with select items being flagged as "donation" items, and then if PLEX for Good pops up again down the road, there would be a pool of money available to draw from as well/

Line an 'I gave blood' sticker from donor clinics. I like this idea. It would be a limited duration skin (probably) but a great idea.

Contributed, will do so again when I get paid next week, as well.

Thank you CCP Games


Let's do this thing.


:D

Its a good cause ofcourse, I donated PLEX to the last PLEX for GOOD event, however, I forsee the price of PLEX on the market rise to super high heights (like surpassing the 1 billion isk per plex), not giving everyone the change to support this cause. I'm sure thats what CCP wants, cos they prefer 'paying with real money' capsuleers, but I'm sure there are people out there that cant afford Eve Online that way anymore.

I too support the 'AUR for GOOD'-cause. Giving a ship skin in return. Now that would boost MY interest instead of this crummy t-shirt ;)

I wouldn't want to divert the "PLEX for GOOD" discussion into one that centers around "what's in it for me", since that mindset is the opposite of what charity and good will are about - but I do agree with a few of the other posters in that I think, especially after the debut of the SKIN system, it would be an interesting idea for CCP to explore creating a ship skin that would commemorate each PLEX for GOOD drive.

From my perspective, it's less about "creating isk value" for the items that PLEX donors receive, and more about visibility and memory - not just visibility in front of others, but in front each player in front of a screen playing EVE. Many of us clearly do enjoy the character appearance items whether they are paid, free, or event-based, but in EVE we spend far more time looking at ships (or menus) than we do at the character portraits attached to them.

Up until now, there wasn't much of an option, but with SKINs in place, I think it's an opportunity worth looking into. I know that I'd enjoy bailing out my corpmates on our T1 roams in a disaster-relief Augoror SKIN, and I'm willing to bet that I'm not alone! That sort of visual reminder of what the EVE community has accomplished together creates a memory, which in turn allows other memories to be built upon it.



Regardless, glad that you're running point on this again CCP. You can be assured that we will be very busy in J-space minting mone.... er... destroying hordes of malevolent sleepers up to the deadline to help with contributions.


No flying safe these next two weeks, let's set New Eden on fire, everyone.
Those wrecks won't loot and salvage themselves.

Bought the PLEX... will create the contract as soon as it becomes available in the redeeming system.

Thanks CCP for this campaign.
