Also curious how "main" is defined....

Your character with the highest skill points


Not necessarily true.

Petition and correspondence with GM's stated my alt was actually my main, said alt having maybe 20% of the skill points of the main character.

I re-petitioned and was then told by a different GM that my main was actually my main, so got there eventually. Whether they made a change or not I neither know nor care.

Is anyone else going to be paying a PLEX (or two) to leave a message for the future inside the monument?

The latest bad idea in the string of bad ideas that is the EVE monument: using an SSD as a time capsule and actually expecting it to last 25 years.

A storage medium with a maximum data retention shelf life of five years, being expected to last five times that long.

Hordes of customers paying real money (or its equivalent) to have their messages preserved on such a medium.

I'm sure this will end well!

My advice: don't bother paying for any time capsule messages. Unless CCP changes their storage medium, this is quite literally a scam. Nothing readable will be left on that SSD after 10 years, let alone 25.

No.

If I'm around in 25 years, I'll have plenty to say.

If I'm not around, well, what does it really matter ?

In the meantime, 2 PLEX for a video recording ?

My initial (and still current) reaction is: They are actually building a giant space dildo?

Seems like a mistake in design to me.

The only problem it could have is the "monument" status of it. After all, it's going to have toon names on there of every active player. These aren't the names of real people, but ficticious character names. A few others in this thread have touched on the relation it will seem to have to the countless war memorials around the world. It may be seen as being disrespectful to these war memorials to have what some in the press might describe as a "parody" of them built.

Just noticed the 'catch' with main character.

In most of my accounts I consider the main char to be the first char that was in the account.
Oh well, now the names will be random alts which were bought from character bazaar.

CCP: For the next monument and also for dual/triple training going off, would be nice if in account management one could
set the 'main' character.

I scoped it earlier today, too. Looks good. I wonder why they put it right next to the Maritime museum...

Anyone know if there is a 'fallen corp mates' section or are they just integrated in the full list?

Tried searching for the guy in my corp who died several years ago but nothing came up - CEO did petition to request he be added.

I read on the monument info that fallen corp members had to be registered with CCP before that date by a third party in the game in order to make the list.

Also keep in mind that the finder isn't working entirely yet. CCP said there are issues with it that are preventing some names from being found.

I couldn't mind mine either, and have been playing for 9 years with an active account the date the names were pulled. ;)

Edit: Saw that your CEO did petition. It's quite possible hes simply one of the names that the finder is having problems locating.

/me shrugs. Considering you can see boats outside the windows of the CCP offices, is there anything not next to a maritime museum in Reykjavík? Smile
I'm sure the actual answer is "permits".

Do not actively tank my patience.

You apparently have no idea how an SSD works. It won't degrade if it isn't used. So once the messages are on it, and assuming it isn't degraded by environmental factors like water or rust, the data will be perfectly fine.
