Underwhelmed by the announcement.

Manipulated by the timer.

CCP vanity project.

Monument has no reference to either Iceland or EVE at all.

Sum it up?

On topic: Magnificent! One day I will visit Iceland to see this solid proof that EvE will stand the test of time. If not in the virtual world, it will in the real one for centuries to come. As a testimony to the best game ever made!

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

Although I had expected it, because I know from long experience that the EVE-O forums are a cesspool of people who would find a way to be mad if they were teleported to the land of free money and blowjobs, I still find it discouraging that people are unironically getting angry because CCP are proud enough of their creation of the canvas of EVE, and grateful enough to us as the artists, that they're putting up a real, solid monument to commemorate it.

Something that no game company has ever done for the community of their customers (as far as I am aware). Something that CCP clearly think that the EVE community uniquely deserves.

And you're complaining like petulant adolescents having a meltdown because daddy didn't buy them a porsche for their sweet sixteen.

Take a step back and look at yourselves and what you're doing here, angry people. Because that's what you look like to me.

Could someone at CCP please explain what the 3 thingies on top of that base represent ?

(the middle one looks like the black monolith we went visiting a long time ago, but why favor the Talocan civilization above the other 3 ancient space faring races the Sleepers, Takmahl, and Yan Jung, not to mention the current 4 primary space faring races; Gallente, Minmatar, Amarr and Caldari ?)

Eve online is :

A) mining simulator B) glorified chatroom C) spreadsheets online

D) CCP Games Pay to Win at skill leveling, with instant gratification

From right to left: the rounded monolith represents the analogue human world of the player, then the barrier evokes the screen with which the players and EVE interface with each other, and then the sharp, angular monolith represents the digital world of New Eden.

No, they can go play EA games until they have thought about what they've done and are sorry.

This guy is a CSM? ...wow.

How about if the monument actually had something to do with EVE, Iceland, or both?

That would be a start.

As I said before, there is a major disconnect here that isn't that hard to see if looked at from a neutral point of view.

instead of saying "You jerks have no reason to be upset this is awesome and you are wrong!" why don't you actually try to understand what your customers are trying to communicate to you.

Instead of dishonestly removing the part where I explain why so it looks like I'm just complaining, why not take that reasoning on board?

the monument has a rock that represents the eve players, a metal thing that represents eve online, it's designed by an icelandic artist, it's located in iceland, and it has the names of thousands of eve characters around the outside

instead of a giant model of a moa or something equally as tacky

Someone's been watching 2001 A Space Odyssey a bit too much - 2001 Monolith

Does it even have "EVE Online R.I.P. (2003-2013)" engraved in it? I thought that was the plan for it when the EA employees were hired.

Would you sleep better at night if they engraved around the monument in Icelandic "This represents EVE"?

RL monument is quite the gesture.

I hope it turns out well.


For those of us who cannot get to Iceland (the land of the free has no-fly lists for people who THINK) will there be a way to virtually visit this thing?

Perhaps put it on a planet somewhere or in a station in Yulai?
