One of the most important things I learned 20 years ago in rehab (for alcohol) was that having any kind of expectations at all, even just a little, will always without fail lead to disappointment.

One has to just take things as they come.

Sad they only teach this stuff in drug rehabs anymore. It's about the only way to "learn the rules of life" that's out there. It's certainly not coming from families or schools anymore.

"This list of active, paying players will be captured on March 1st, 2014—no exceptions."

Does active, paying players, mean active players who sub with PLEXes won't be included?

Kool.

Let's cancel Fanfest this year and permanently then since it contributes naught to the game at all. Really. It does not. It's a total wast of resources in that direction and only for a 3 day event. How horrible and distracting for game development.

Thinking capacity is most certainly in short supply anymore. Ugh.

Well deserved as one of the largest export products in Iceland. EVE is real, let's never forget it.

And to all the people whining about 'waste of money' or the timer; grow the f*ck up.

That's great for you, and I am the same (except the rehab bit). Expect nothing, never feel disappointed. But most people don't work this way, and you can't expect them to. People are annoyed, and no amount of white knighting from you or Malcanis is going to change that. CCP raised people's hopes too high, again, as usual. CCP should follow your advise from a top down perspective, raise no ones hopes, and no one will be disappointed.

Literally more excited by the "504 Bad Gateway" link I got at first than that monument.

I didn't read the about the artist link. Is he related to a high government official? Was this some sort of bribe to continue in business? I hope so, that would be money much better spent.

If you need another one, my 4 year old is awesome with legos. She'll take whatever you paid that guy.

I mean it's pretty obvious that freeloading scum won't be on the monument, what was he even thinking?

Eh, not really cause the sentence before that says:

"The monument will stand atop a half meter tall metal-plated concrete platform that will have the names of all the “main characters” of all active EVE Online players etched upon it. "

So please clarify this for us, CCP.

This seems pretty awesome. Will our character names be etched on the monument, or our real names?

PLEX counts as paying. Active means you can log in.

This bit appears to be missing from the page, I've looked it over a couple of times and can't find any further information regarding it.

More info required, many of those that have passed away hold a special place in players hearts.

Edit, my derp, didn't see the other pages regarding it Oops. Phone browsers are terribad sometimes.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

There is a process for this. Attempted abuse will be met with extreme sanctions.

Of course, as well as celebrating those who have touched New Eden in the past and continue to assist in weaving the tapestry of history we continue to create together, we must also take the time to honor those fallen pilots who gave so much to New Eden and are sadly no longer with us.

To do this, we will be offering the CEOs of corporations within EVE an avenue through which to contact us if they feel they would like to have the name of a fallen wingman who is no longer with us added to the monument.

Please be aware that we will accept requests only from the CEOs of corporations to prevent support ticket spam, and these requests can be made by filing a support ticket to the EVE Community Team under the “Other Issues” Category, and the “Community” Subcategory. Please use the subject line “Monument Tribute” so that we can filter these tickets with ease.

I don't hate it, I'm not excited, I just simply don't care so whatever.

Wake me up when there will be some Eve feature at the end of troll-timer.

Rightly so, abuse of this should be severely punished.
