This is a great idea that I fully support in whatever form CCP would implement it in. EVE is unlike any other game out there, both in its longevity and in the community that supports it. Such a monument would be a good sign that the powers that be recognize the bond between all of us, regardless of other real life mitigating factors (race, creed, nationality, etc...)

It does help to read.

The Ring of Fire concept is not about one player as has been explained through-out this thread. While one player's public connection to Eve and our community was certainly the "catalyst" for this idea, it is in no way specific to one player and is meant to represent all of those players that are no longer with us now, and in the future.

I continue to believe, especially as Eve moves into its second decade, that such a memorial becomes increasingly important and meaningful.

As always thanks for everyone's support. Keep the courage.


A neutral monument to all lost players would be great.

The trick would be in the location - making it somewhere every capsuleer could reasonably get to regardless of alliance, standings or sec status.

Maybe it would be best not to actually list names but make it a general memorial.


in the style of "The tomb of the unknown soldier"?.

fitting for those who don't know the folks and a reminder for those of us who do, however with the capsuleer lore of being immortal, there would have to be some other immersive aspect of the back-story in the thing.

I have seen tales of capsuleers going "planetside" never to return to space, I have seen messages of accidents at the cloning facility where the pilot was lost never to return, but to live on as a part of all of us through the bio-recycling process, surely there would have to be some aspect of the EvE story in the mix otherwise it ends up just being another object in space.
In the Clear Skies series, John goes to a memorial wall and talks to his friend, (i won't elaborate on that so as not to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet) so maybe like we see on the Concord billboards a slideshow of the characters similar to a headstone? this would be difficult in that it would require CCP's knowledge of who had passed vs who had simply unsubbed but it would highlight those who have gone before us.
maybe even a wall of displays cycling through portraits on each one?

Something simpler?
Maybe a huge monolith with an inscription on it.
Something like:

"In memory of those before us"

"Never again to be seen"

"Never again to be heard"

"and"

" Never to be forgotten"



I know that's a little cheezy, but it's a starting point.

Don't mistake fact for arrogance, supposition for fact, or disagreement for dismissal. Perception is unique in that it can be shared or singular. Run with the pack if you wish, but think for yourself. A sandwich can be a great motivator.

Players have done their own fitting memorial in game and out for those who are gone. I honestly don't think CCP needs to make one. Even if they do it would need to be extremely general and not single someone out. Also it it would need to prohibit anchoring cans anywhere on grid or maybe even in system. So people could not try to 'claim' such a monument as 'theirs or a specific persons' and when anyone tried to clear the cans the forums would explode declaring they had committed a hate crime and be perma banned.

It just opens up a can of worms that we don't need to be opened.

Might be a good ISK sink to be able to buy an in-game memorial (for maybe 20B or perhaps a little more) of some sort. I wouldn't want too many CCP resources devoted to this project though.

This is still important and stil on the minds of the public and the Eve community.

If you missed it, this recent article is proof. ( Warning, this is NSFW)

I support this for sure. Honestly I think having a system that and an eternal cyno with a unique description that could be warped to.

"We are immortals who cannot live forever."

Once again reiterating my support of a general monument to those EVE players who have died.

Perhaps another pipe like the New Eden one, but below the galactic plane rather than above - and just one system a long gatejump away.
