CCP, you're a very creative game developer and I like that. I absolutely love the way your creativity tends to extend out of game on occasion. Our capsuleers will end up outliving EVE and very possibly our mortal bodies by the immortalization of their names on the monument.
Keep up the great work and thank you for always trying to keep things new and fresh for us. Can't wait to see it when I finally make the trip to Fanfest. |

That already got remodelled, no? Better use a Dominix. Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Yet here we get a thread of self centered and uncultured people complaining about the wasted man hours and money! You're right! I'm sure all those CCP employees are hard at work wasting development time erecting that monument withe their bare hands instead of working at their jobs improving this game. Your missing the point between layoff's at ccp.. Them not focusing on fixing EvE No real content. And other issues We dont think right now was the greatest time to do this... While its cool and we feel honored they would do this.. We also feel that money could be better spent. I feel the worst for the people that got laid off from ccp because they don't have the money... But they have the money for this? Thats were were confused. Who are those "we" you pretend to represent? Speak for yourself, tyvm. if it cost them between 5-10 million dollars to build.. Its taking away from eve.. With that much money u know how many developers and staff they could have kept and manned for the next year to 2 years to fix game mechanics to implement new features and so forth.. While its a great idea i don't think at this time it was a thing they should be doing. Where do you get those numbers from? At least now you can write "I" when you mean yourself, which is progress I guess, but throwing those numbers around show once more you really are disconnected from reality. Arguments are best based on facts, or your view on facts, and not making stuff up as you go along. Personally I think it's way cool. One day the servers will shut down, but that monument will stand.
Just so u know i was estimating low... eh it doesn't matter i never said it wasnt cool i just think the funds could be better served elseware. |

Well, is your RL name Mike Azariah? Because this is what be etched on this monument and it has nothing to do with you being gone or not. Are you really proud to have your space name on a stone somewhere? Seriously?
Like your son will be there at some day with his children and they will go to the monument and your son will show your character's name to them and say:
"Look, this was your grandpa"
and your grandson will say:
"No it wasn't, grandpa's name was {insert your RL name here}".
And your son will explain to them that you were using name of Mike Azariah and you did something awesome under that name and that is why you ended up on monument.
And you grandson will ask:
"What did grandpa do?"
and you son will respond with proud in his voice and tears in his eyes:

I've seen a lot of people in this thread complain about the cost of this monument. Some even estimate it to be in the millions of dollars..... So, because I am a curious man, I looked up the cost of the building materials. I took some rough measures and approximations. Costs are including tax and front door delivery for me as a private person in west Europe mainland.
- Massive granite block, Black, 100 x 100 x 500 cm = Gé¼ 12.000,-
- Stainless steel rectangular tube, welded shut on both ends, 500 x 100 x 20 cm (5mm thick plate) Gé¼ 1100,-
- Polishing of steel tube Gé¼ 650,-
- Aluminium tube 100 x 100 x 500 cm (2mm thick plate) = Gé¼ 2000,-
- Black matting of aluminium tube = Gé¼ 1200,-
- Concrete 10m3 including steel reinforcement and pouring (0.5 metres underground as foundation included)= Gé¼ 2100,-
- Steel plate around concrete base 7m2 = Gé¼ 350,-
- Polishing of steel plate = Gé¼ 200,-
Total = Gé¼ 19.600,- in building materials. Again, this is an approximate figure
Of course this is also without the cost of making an actual statue out of it and without the inscribing of our character names.
Now please stop complaining that it is too expensive and that for the same amount of money problem X or Y in EvE could have been solved. In light of the figures above, it is a bit silly.....
In my personal opinion it is a beautiful statue and a grand gesture by CCP, regardless of cost. And I thank them for that! Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

so it represents two worlds - the world of the artist and the world of eve- facing each other.
yet they are separated by a mirror and thus cannot 'see' each other, they see only themselves reflected.
private joke between the artist and himself?
I like the left structure. it looks eve, it looks caldari. the right one looks like a henry moore knockoff sponsored by the gallente.
I would've used a curved mirror, half cylinder, placed behind the two structures. this would tie them together in the shared photons focused by the mirror, supplied by the outside, signifying how the life of both art and virtual worlds is fueled by (and dependent on) the outside world.

For real.
Folks are acting as if resources and workers are being diverted to this in massive quantities instead of "fixing the game" ??
My God, how many CCP employees do they think are going to be reappropriated to working in the foundry to smelt these things, and then do the carving and engraving ? It'll be a challenge for the Devs, most indeed.

Hoshi Sorano wrote:Playing a video game, even one as engrossing as EVE, is hardly some sort of lifetime achievement or anything. My concern is that by celebrating it in a manner normally reserved for the big events of history we are sending the wrong message, both to the players and the outside world.
Some of the younger and/or more impressionable players may take this as some sort of signal that they have somehow done something worthwhile with their lives. A monument usually commemorates something significant or important in local, national, or world events; and a monument to gaming would indicate to some that video games are on a similar level of importance, and something to be proud of rather than just a way to fill one's free time. The people who buy into this may be few, but it can still be damaging.
The outside world will probably get the impression that we all have just such an opinion of ourselves. The message will be that EVE players are a bunch of self important geeks who have gotten so lost in their little virtual world that they have completely lost their grip on reality. How many new players do you think are going to want to jump into a game full of delusional egotists?
I've already shown the announcements about this monument to a few friends and coworkers. Their collective reaction can be summed up by the words of one of them: "That's dumb!" They were all confused, at first thinking that it must be some sort of in-game thing. When I explained that it was to be a real monument in Iceland, they were shocked at the stupidity of it, especially after I told them how the company had been laying people off just a few months ago. They think that CCP has lost its sense of priority to say the least. There was concern that a game company would neglect the health of the game itself and instead choose to invest in sucha pointless display. One of them commented, "I keep wanting to try EVE, but then something like this happens." It was also observed that CCP "must be rather full of themselves." These are people who were excited to read about the Battle of B-R5RB, but now their opinion of the company behind the game has done a 180.
So there is my anecdotal evidence, but it may be a warning sign that this monument may not generate the sort of publicity that is good for EVE.
Wow. You are a sad case. This is a gem of a treatise to show to students of social studies, showing the true outcome of a bleak, existential outlook on life.

Land in Iceland is beyond dirt cheap. It's not good for anything, much less farming. You can't even plant a tree there. It will not grow.
And Iceland doesn't take people in as immigrants except maybe the rare amnesty case, so there is not any kind of real estate boom or anything like that.
