This is awesome but I'm a bit worried about the paintball thing. Have you thought that through?

Assuming you get to the $125,000 level which is the last one mentioned in the dev blog (and there could well be more), you're talking about shooting Dolan with 62 paintballs. Isn't that, you know... dangerous?


Don't worry I'm a trained professional.

Could be so, but are you trained for something like this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwDPb3T8bOQ#t=74

How did you know what I had planned for him! Now the surprise is spoiled! Sad


maybe you can ask your peers and answer?

Check the price of a PLEX. Then check how much CCP donates for each PLEX removed from the game. I'll give you one guess where the difference goes.

out of the tax mans pocket? or out of ccps. i want to see whos footing the bill. simple yes or no to my question by a blue will do unless they feel they don't need to of course. ^^

that would just make me swear again though at best. then dig through the paperwork again.

then we'll get into who's tax man.

The sad part of this all on the Eve Life this is the most the Devs have communicated with us in a forum.

And why all the violence for helping RL people who have been hurt by one of Nature's worst acts of Violence

Also a lot of PLEX's are converted GTC's. Which most of the time cost cost less than PLEX.

Add into that Tax's, the fees that go to GTC Sellers, etc.

If CCP is making anything off of this, it might be a cent or two.. but for sure they are right around the breakeven point. Plus I'd be willing to be CCP Corp will be making a donation ontop of what the players donate (or at least I hope they do) which will more than change the tipping point.

I almost don't want to see us raise 125K because I wouldn't want to see CCP mimic shave her head =/

Just a suggestion, but if CCP Rise was to get shot with the paintballs, you'd probably see even more donations.. Given recent events with balancing Missile Launchers, and his comments on nerfs to the Serpentis line lol

I do wish we could get a running update on how we are doing..

Even something as simple as adding a line to the CCP PLEX for Good characters Bio listing donations as of the last time it's checked for the day..

Props CCP for doing this its a worthy cause .
Nice to see something other then the bottom line driving the corporate machine +1.

What ever goes to the Philippines will help someone there who is in dire need so you guys are doing a good thing in my book!

How much do we have to raise to get CCP to make good on all of their broken/forgotten/ignored promises just from this past year?

Why a switch on/off? Because the new animation doesn't add anything to gameplay and it's graphically annoying. In other words, it's worse than bad: it's useless. Simple as that.     _ - Kina Ayami_

This was an epic event!!

I was one of the lucky 2500 who witnessed it on twitch, and I salute everyone at CCP for running this drive, and for the tremendous effort that it took in organizing this awesome finale.

A special salute to CCP Dolan for going through with his pledge, despite obvious suffering. The spirit displayed by all devs, including CCP Gargent and CCP Mimic, was just what the drive needed.

The dev roam was great fun, and the Dust match nearly got me started on the game (need a mouse).

Can't thank and appreciate all of you enough!

Any colour you like.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It was funny, once it was done I felt a little bad like 'wait you taking my new friends away!'
Good job CCP!

Thank you to Mimic and the Crew that took the cut. I missed the event as I was tucked away in bed spewing every couple of hours due to my Chemo. I'm just short of a year now with AdenoCarcinoma, a form of Lung Cancer, which will kill me sooner or later. Hopefully later. While one could complain about only living for a year or two with Cancer, I was initially told I had, at best, two to six weeks and maybe ten at best by the Spec here in Bradford, Yorkshire UK. I'm on my fourth treatment coming up on Friday of the second set of Chemo rounds. That's a place not many make it to. I face my Cancer with the same stupidly stubborn resilience that I faced EvE and it's myriad of personalities with. It works for me.

Thanks for the Hair even though my own personal vanity is lacking. I'm sure some little girl is gonna love it and hopefully no one who doesn't really need it takes it.

Thank you again Mimic and CCP.
