This may be a redundant post but if not I'd like to bring the situation to the attention of CCP and the Eve community as a whole. We've done PLEX for good in the past and although the possibility of further hiking up PLEX prices may not be easy on our in game wallets, I think people's lives are somewhat more important than that. I know I have some in game funds I'd like to use for the people affected by the flooding.

Please support and tell your friends.

Just checking, you know there are actually worse things going on in the world than a flood in Europe, right? I know it's on the news but that doesn't make it important..

no. i play in an artificial universe. i use it to escape reality.

key word is reality.

i live in a real world. one in which people die in. and when they die they don't get to respawn.

let's leave the artificial universe out of it and focus on the real one here. you know, the one that actually matters.

can't help but feel that a bit of flooding isn't quite worthy of a plex for good campaign.

otherwise it'd be an annual event for england, and most likely most of the world.

To be blunt CCP won't make much publicity doing a plex raising donation for the Balkans. I mean compared to the philippines which left entire towns and cities devastated to the point that international relief was mobilized the Balkan floods are tame. TL;DR not enough death and devastations.

Wow aren't you a noble man. And all the others who are circlejerking right now. But the flood in the Balkans is the media's flavour of the day. The millions of homeless Syrian refugees without medical aid are not. The balkan countries will be okay in 6 months (or most of them in a week or two). The Syrians are suffering the biggest humanitary catastrophe since the 2nd World War.

Whilst the flooding in the balkans is not a nice thing and has effected many peoples lives, in the grand scheme of things it is just a tiny drop in a very big ocean of misery.

I have to agree with DrSmegma.

You can not compare the the flooding in the Balkans to the suffering of millions of innocent men, woman and children that is happening right now in Syria or the plight of millions of people who are suffering across the Africa's Sahel belt.

Again I am not trying to belittle those who have suffered in the floods, but at least they know they in the coming days they will get medical aid, a roof over their heads and food to eat.

Those in Syria and across the Africa's Sahel belt have no such guarantees.

Be nice if CCP would create a "Crisis of The Month" sub-forum to keep this kind of stuff in it's own area.

I come here to game, not listen to someone beating their drum about this disaster or another.

Agreed...

I care nothing about any of this. I'm not donating squat to anything and game to get away from the real world. Someone ALWAYS has their hands out for some bloody cause, charity, group...

Kinda have to agree, hurricanes and super earthquakes are worthy of donation drives, as someone else pointed out if flooding were enough then we would be having these things all the time, we do need to draw a line at some point, while its not nice for those involved floods do happen an awful lot
