A PLEX gets you 1000 words. Well done you just surpassed SMS messaging as the most expensive form of data transfer per byte.

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.

I predicted such a response. Being unwilling to do something is not the same as being unable.

If CCP intended it to be a true time capsule, they'd simply fill the laptop with General Discussion threads.






Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I'm assuming the time capsule will look like a pod.

If not it is fail.

And in 25 years they will find out the storage went sour ten years before and all that's left is gibberish.

It makes sense, if you have to pay for the message, perhaps you won't fill it with **** pictures. Perhaps...

it would be interesting if there is any possibility of Eve Online survive next 25 years.

Personally i feel it won't.

Even then some crap written by some person with stupid nickname 'March rabbit'.... Who will waste his time to even read it 25 years later??? Shocked Personally i wouldn't.

So you expected to be able to participate for free?

Your main character names are already inscribed on the monument, as a gratuity.

Are you aware of the costs to, for example, submit a text ad to a publication?
They far exceed this, and are not payable with imaginary spaceship money either.

Either pay it if you want it, or dont.

Whats to whine about.

I doubt this will receive anywhere near the coverage a text ad would. Let's crunch a number though. Subbed accounts is in the hundred thousands. But meh. Let's assume 1/4 of an average day decide to submit. That's $20,000 dollars. That's one sweet laptop and easily a few terabytes of space. Not to mention one hella awesome safe to bury it in.

Or maybe they just want to add in a failsafe to discourage stupid people from requesting a quote.
Why don't you think before you judge? And especially think before you post.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...
