Fan fest ticket sales cover the cost of fan fest entirely? or is some eve subscription fee's used to cover parts as well? I'm not trolling like my last post ;) I'm just wondering?

Propably sub money is used. It's a fan party, but also a major opportunity for CCP to showcase their products to the world media. The event is too important and big to be relient on fan ticket sales.

I'm not complaining I've never been to fan fest and I have no complaints on a % of PLEX being used to fund it, EVE Online is more than simply Tranquillity. It's sold out this year already but I'd love to visit Iceland for a holiday and fan fest is the perfect excuse so one year...

I would hope they'd spend it on developing a new drone interface :3

Just wondering. Personally, if i won like £32m i'd happily donate at least £1m to CCP, if for no other reason than to show my everlasting love and support for a game i love!

BUT! If CCP suddenly got such a cash injection, what would CCP employees want to spend it working on? I'm curious as to the misty-eyed, "if i won the lottery" thoughts of CCP employees! :)



That would buy a lot of rotten shark......

I think they should go to jita and get a dev to spam double isk and actually double the isk, the confusion would be great :)

Pretty sure anyone who has been to Fanfest or on the CSM will understand this: Hand grenades. Lots and lots of alcoholic hand grenades.

p.s. if you have no idea what that is and are coming to Fanfest... this is going to be fun. Twisted



Oh god. I didn't go to fanfest but i have lost a few nights' memories from the dreaded round of handgrenades...

You can't joke about it anymore, CCP gave out Deactivated Keys for Christmas.

So now the joke about CCP abandoning content yet again now has an ingame item to commemorate it.

Pity the man hours making the key weren't put into... abandoned content?

Seriously though, this idea was bounced around the forums quite a bit lately. Especially by the folks that want WiS. The idea is simple - open a kickstarter page, something like "WiS for EVE". And let people put their money where their mouths are. If enough people fork over the dough, they can hire the staff they need and get it done in a reasonable amount of time, delivering actual content.


*I* would donate for that if I won the lottery... yet of course, with the condition that CCP developed WiS my way. Twisted

Which is why I woud hate anyone else giving them money to develop WiS how *they* wanted. Players becoming developers invariably end in games like Civilization V. Ugh

Your way of wis is rather hard to understand.

Yes because the dev time for making one icon and two lines of text could have achieved soo much more Roll

32 million, well that sure would offer some inetersting options..

- Buy some more hardware to eve cluster and make ccp create new nullsec region on it, of course you as finacier of all this get to deside names, etc...

- Buy GTCs from ccp, turn them in plexes in jita and crash the plex market...

- Let ccp hire few more developers dedicated to rewamp pos, corporate role system and scinece&industry UI. Heck, lets add nullsec outpost revamp in as well...
