Assuming you get to the $125,000 level which is the last one mentioned in the dev blog (and there could well be more), you're talking about shooting Dolan with 62 paintballs. Isn't that, you know... dangerous?


Don't worry I'm a trained professional.

Professional paintball target?

That's a somewhat unusual career choice ...

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

Dolan will be dodging the bullets all the time.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Don't worry, it's only Dolan :)

So all this time I've been using PLEX for evil?? I knew EVE was addictive but to think buying PLEX to keep me playing was the work of the devil!

Sounds like fun, I'll have to watch.
And the idea of the PLEX for the HD feed of it sounds like a good idea to me too.

Slightly related, I'd love to see a larger version of this http://cdn1.eveonline.com/www/newssystem/media/65464/1/sistersofeve.jpg that was posted in the devblog. Would make a great wallpaper :) Should poke your Graphics guys :)

I'll be pulling for you CCP Guard, I'm confident that 8 years of inactivity will only serve to strengthen your resolve.

Besides, you've had that long to plot your revenge. Smile

Tough call... I suppose I can put my money on CCP Guard, though. He seems good at getting out of tough situa- Oh. Wait. Blink


EDIT: All joking aside, CCP, you guys are awesome. <3 Definitely cooler than the typical MMO devs.

Suggest that you keep a live stream update showing the top ten PLEX donors by character name... might promote some friendly competition FOR Good.


Cheers...

(And yes, I have donated.)

Would it be possible to have somewhere a near live update tally from the gathered funds?
If people could see it rising, it may get those who hesitate to donate over the fence.

http://evetools.org/games/index.php?sub=8 is a scam won a plex and was cheated out of it by this site. And you guys allow laundry or plex for rl cash and support scam sites on you're game which is definitely an out side source brought into game? Kinda fishy there and I am for sure they make tons of real life cash from this as well.

Don't worry I'm a trained professional.

Could be so, but are you trained for something like this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwDPb3T8bOQ#t=74

There should be the option to remote control a paintball gun. One plex donation gets you one minute on the gun.

Any colour you like.

Aww. Did somebody not appreciate my Somer gibe?

How about at $250k in pledges Seagull makes Somer her firstborn's middle name? It has a nice Scandinavian ring to it, don't you think?

Or maybe you guys could just feed Cogdev some more exclusive ships actual players never had an opportunity to obtain.
