Believe it or not, that's against the EULA.



No it's not against the EULA to pay for all my EVE friends RL expenses by giving money so we can all play EVE together.

Buy CCP and sink another 25m into making it run how I want it to... but first I'd probably relocate it and the staff to the UK.

I hear a death knell in that statement.

It's as bad as basing part of the development in the Southern US.....wait. Crap.

I would buy CCP all the computer equipment they will ever need, buy the most powerful computer on Earth, and buy a pop-manufacturing plant to start making real Quafe.

Failfitting ships since 2007.

347mil? invest in a tangible comodity like gold. credit cards, paper money and digital statements aren't worth jack if the bank goes under.
actual gold bars or ingots if you prefer will always be a good item to trade with.

Except that they are used so much in industry that they aren't. Unless, of course, you don't like having computers and such.

move CCP from Iceland to the US, or to England.

Gold will actually be completely useless as a currency if our modern currencies fail. People always say there is value to gold but that's only if there is a society well formed enough to still use a currency. If the dollar went under our society would collapse and any kind of useless money item would be worthless. Gold only works in that thin line between a collapsed currency and a functioning society.

Almost never happens. ;D

I would bribe a CCP man for server info then open my own personal servers with different versions of eve to play. Buy a new computer as well as buy some of the BS models they have.

I would go to CCP HQ and make an open pit with some computers for the devs to play on. I would force them to pvp in "underated" ships that almost no one uses (Sycthe, Moa, navy osprey, burst, etc). Everytime they lose one of these underrated ships I get to shoot them with a nerf gun (harmless, yet annoying) and rain styro-foamy doom from above upon them until they make these ships more desireable.






Oh and I'd probably just creep on all the ladies at the office in my spare time

I'd put 98% of the money into reasonable investments.

But I'd earmark the remaining 2% to fund a VC company for EVE-related sites/services once CCP gets their 3rd party developer agreement done.

I would first consult an financial company to see what would be the best financial way to keep it up on being profitable.

Including me and the familie moving to:

A landhouse in some mountainrange
With a stone wall around my property
Landrover
Crossbikes
Dog(s)
in house swimmingpool.

and a house in a tropical place including:
White beach - azure blue sea
