EVE General Discussion

Thanks for your update Mr. Falcon. Looking forward to this being available as an option, thanks to CCP.



We are all internet savvy here in EVE and find the latest and greatest news, so I won't get overly solicitous.

The death count in Nepal is estimated in the 5,000 range. The long term estimate may be double that since they are still pulling people out as well the difficulty in reaching some affected areas (the map shows a distribution of destruction from a study reported on by NYTimes).

Some of the concerns are that some of the hardest hit areas are inaccessible by ground vehicles, due to the destruction of the landscape as well as lack of established roads into these communities. There is a lack of consumable water, so people are making do with other sources like swimming pools and such. With the monsoon season oncoming, this could quickly turn into a disease control situation. Today we heard food trucks for relief are being raided.. the earthquake has been destabilizing and many are taking advantage.



Anyway, maybe this was just my transparent attempt at bringing this topic up to the topic. <3

As an extra that you might be able to add to the list,

I donated there as the British Queen and Prince Charles amongst others can't be wrong, if you want to make any real life donations.

Nepal deserves as much support as possible from any British citizen due to our close ties with them.

Thanks

PLEX FOR GOOD? COUNT ME IN! Also as a side note don't forget to check out the PLEX for VR HMD initiative!

Sibyyl still in the area though no longer in Kathmandu.

Hope she is ok.

Epicenter near Namache Bazar, near Mt. Everest.

About 800km away now, but we felt the ground shake hard enough to evacuate our workplace for about 20 minutes. A checkup of the structure we have found a couple of new cracks that are visible from the outside. It is really sort of a testament to how powerful a 7.3 magnitude is that it would be felt this far away and cause everyone to be out on the street. Tremors were felt down in Chennai which is in South India.

40 have died in Nepal from what I see in the news here. There are even double-digit casualties in India in a state called Bihar. Some people unfortunately under a collapsed roof.




And it always hits me emotionally to see people worrying about each other in this community. <3


Edit: Mr. Falcon and CCP have extended PLEX FOR GOOD to March 24.

Happen to see this so If i buy Plex then i donate to the GM to get isk at the same time help nepal is this how it works?? I was reading the Plex for Good page but I am confused... Anyway i been to nepal twice and feel is really sad to see how it is like now. So is good to help out.

You would contract the PLEX not to a GM but to the character named CCP PLEX For GOOD. Ensure this character is in C C P Corporation. You could also send spare ISK to Chribba or others offering the service to convert the ISK into donation PLEX.


The best thing to do is check the dev blog article. It is linked in my sig.

Edit: Fixed some language and I am essentially saying the same thing Sol did.
