Thanks for pointing this out. This has been taken care of.



RIP that guy's account.

I just checked. It is in fact gone. I hope you found all his accounts. Question: Will you convert any PLEX he collected to $15 donations?

Another question: Do the PLEX collected from all of us get permanently removed from the game, or do they get added to the Bank of Eve's stock to be used for market stabilization?

I wouldn´t be suprised if they get collected instead of deleted. CCP selling those PLEX later on when the market becomes crazy again will take some ISK out of the economy, which is not a bad thing atm. But lets not derail this thread.

Thank You CCP for doing this. I was born in the Philippines and currently living in the USA. This gesture from one of the games I love to play warms my heart. While me and my wifes family are all ok, I still feel sad for all those that have lost theirs. IRL we already did some fundraising to send out there, but seeing this from CCP just makes me happy that there are a lot of good people out there willing to help. I will be donating PLEXes to help out!! Once again thanks CCP from the bottom of my heart !!

Agreeing and representing here as well (though I was the first Filipina in my family to be born in the states).

I don't think I have ever been happier to see local chat and super-lag in Jita (where my alt was already thankfully stationed with PLEX at hand). The support from this community is tremendous! You guys all rock!

TAKE MY PLEX, CCP!

Thanks so much for this!!

Thanks, CCP!

So!

I'm going to be donation-matching for my corpies. I figure it's a good way to incentivize good behavior on their part. :D We'll see how long my spacemoney lasts. :x

Does anyone know if these are designated donations (ie the charity must spend the money on disaster relief in the Philippines), general donations to the Philippines campaign (can be spent on adverts soliciting more donations for the Philippines, admin overheads etc) or just indiscriminate donations to the Icelandic Red Cross? This matters.

Not disagreeing with charity and PLEX for good is a fantastic concept, it's just there is a little more to charity than giving away a load of money and while I'm sure CCP have done their homework and that the money is going where they say it's going (Philippines relief) I'd like some confirmation.

It'd be great if we could get some details about the nature of the donation being made to which campaign and what kind of aid the Icelandic Red Cross is providing (some charities focus on clean water, shelter etc, others on rebuilding, others on medical supplies etc).

This is going specifically to the Icelandic Red Cross fund for Philippines relief.

There's a lot of legality surrounding a charitable drive like this that has to be taken into account, which is why it took a little more time than usual to get the ball rolling and open up for donations (I've been buried in talks and shenanigans with the amazing CCP legal team - who deserve massive hugs from everyone at next Fanfest - since Monday morning to make sure that this is all done properly).

Part of that deal is that we (CCP hf.) are a business, and as such we have to present the charity with a legal contract that specifies the nature of our donation drive, and to what cause we're donating the funds. They have to agree with this, and when we sign it we're both then legally bound in a contract that specifies where the money goes.

The result is that we now have a very robust framework in terms of both legal documentation that we can adapt to approach any charity we would like to assist with PLEX for GOOD in future, and solid community procedures for future PLEX for GOOD initiatives that we can use to respond a lot faster to this kind of situation whenever we deem it appropriate.

Part of this procedure is that we'll give a summary of the PLEX for GOOD drive once it's been completed that outlines how much we raised and where it was donated.

You can see an outline the work being performed by the Icelandic Red Cross in the Philippines at their website http://raudikrossinn.is

Hope this answers your question! Smile

Saw this post too late to act on it before work. Will liquidate some items when I get home and should be able to manage five or six PLEXes. Will also spread this appeal to the rest of the miner ganking and AWOXing community.

Also, this will definitely get CCP some great PR. I heard about the first PLEX for Good drive before I played the game and if my computer at the time had been capable of running the EVE client, it would have started me playing.
