EVE General Discussion

just the engraving must cost a bomb, wouldn't it be better spent on a game? a game like say erm...... EvE? I mean its a cool idea but isn't it a waste of money?

And what about every other eve player who'se passed away over the last ten and a bit years, you honestly want to deny them a chance to be remembered by their community for the sake of one man who already has more stuff dedicated to him than any of us will ever see.

Dont get me wrong, Vile Rats name should be high and proud on that monument and you can bold his name and engrave it in gold leaf with arrows pointing at it if you must, just dont try and deny other peoples chance to be there while you do.

How does one opt out from having their name plastered on this obscenity?

be so good as to point me to where it says this, as I've read a number of pieces about this POS and nothing said anything about being unable to opt out!

I resub'd for this, I played long enough in my time and feel I had enough of an impact in my own way to have my name up there with the rest of the playerbase.

That said I will not be staying for now, because as others have already stated the issues which made me quit in the first intance haven't changed, in spite of even your efforts Malcanis, which are appreciated.

Hi-sec for me personally has never been the issue, aside from a few rare intances it's dull as dishwater these days, however Null sec is even worse and nerfing hi-sec is not going to change that in any way. Null is still controlled by broken sovereignty mechanics determined by massive HP structures and timers, which combined with the abilty for entire alliances to jump from one end of the map to the other and back again in an afternoon result more often than not in joyless dogpile TiDi lagfests like was recently seen in HED-GP. I personally have no interest in, and will not waste my time, money and effort on such "fun" content.

I don't know how much CCP will ultimately make out of this monument deal, and to be honest I don't really care. The monument in of itself is a nice idea and is more than enough for me at this time, how many other game devs do you see out there who will take the time and effort to organise something like this for their playerbase.

That said I will say if CCP does make any appreciable amount of money out of this thing that I hope they do bring in a few more devs and invest some serious time and effort into fixing the problems that while they may not be killing the game are certainly holding it back at this point. Bringing Dust514 to the PC and integrating it into the Eve client along with opening the damned door would be a nice set of secondary goals if there's anything left after that




The Blue Lagoon and the glaciers are well worth a trip if you want to venture beyond the city, I'm told the Golden Circle tour is good as well but haven't done it myself, most of the decent hotels should be able to advise good sights also. If you're looking to stay local the Perlan centre, the shopping districts and the downtown nightlife are all worth checking out, there's whale watching tours operating from the dockyard and not forgetting of course the Red Chilli restaurants (one near the Nordica the other in the city centre IIRC) which are great eateries if you're a carnivore.

..only the ones who are paying with real currency or also the ones who are paying with plexes?

DOH! I have my first character I ever made, but I don't care for the name I used (sounded cool in my head. Didn't work in reality). I've been taking what I consider my "main character" and trying to catch up, but I'm currently 8 mil skill points away from overtaking my original character. So now my old character will be etched in this monument or I delete and lose 8 million skill points (with associated benefits).

CCP! WHY CAN YOU NOT HAVE A SIMPLE RENAME FUNCTION!!!

Couldn't we say use the character from our Forum?! Put a note on the game launcher, make sure the character you want on the monument is your avatar for the Forums before March 1st, 2014. That way we can make sure we have the character we want. I am probably a rare case, but I know I can't be the ONLY case.

Just a thought.

According to CCP falcon its the character with the highest SP on the account

If it's so important to you, open up a new account and transfer your wanted char over.. this way you'll be on the monument twice and CCP got 1 more active account during the month ;-)



As for me as you can see me, I re-subbed for this for 1 month, can't miss being on a statue somewhere.
Tres won't be on the monument though, as it's just my forum whore :p

@CCP
Thanks and do something useful with the money.

would be cool to see an in game replica of the monument on a planet though.
