Great idea, I even like the style of the monument. not sure the count down timer was the best way to deliver this info, but non the less I've always thought I deserved a monument with my name on it |

So how do I make sure that my other character "Sir Captain ButtsMcFart" is the main character to be posted onto the monument? |

So the sub numbers are dropping and you need a way to give them a temp boost. Once again CCP being run by a EA marketing guy and a guy in $1000 Japanese pants are more manipulation and marketing rather than substance.
10 year anniversary was a money grab to start with (All the new stuff being tied behind the collectors edition) and a money grab at the end (Sub now or your name wont be on a rock most of you will never see)
I'm not even mad, the sad thing is this is business as usual for CCP nowadays. |

How many precious CCP resources are being thrown at this statue? How many coding-months dedicated to fixing / overhauling legacy code could have been purchased for the cost of this monument to the hubris of some people?
Eve is a virtual world. What is the point of a statue that the vast vast majority of the player base will never see, and most will never even hear about? CCP would have been better off coding this monument into the game and placing it in Jita.
It would have more value to more of the player base. Most people viewed Orwell's writings as a warning. The harper regime and the goons treat them as a guidebook. |

Nice work. I'd love to see it in person one day (brazilian here) :)
I also love these "time capsules" stuff.
10 years and counting for a video game is really remarkable. Keep your roots strong CCP !

Hm, not complaining really.
Just a question: when are you planning to stop celebrating your first years of accomplishments (the last 4 for sure are not to count)?
I'm eager to see you swinging the whip and doing something great again, not resting on your past accomplishments. Yes, you hurt yourself with Incarna, Dust and WoD (all failed as of now). You decided to GIVE UP the dream of a fully integrated game and split up your projects into different games/platforms. Thats just what everyone else does too, nothing special about that tbh.
So, the monument is nice for looking back, but when will you start locking ahead again, and letting us know about it? |

I have a slight lump in my throat, know of a few fallen comrades, many that i have never even spoken to but that were known to many. Ten years of getting to know epic people, and I have only been here just under 3 years, I can't imagine how much it means to some veterans. I just hope the names will be randomly placed, not so that it goes A to Z either from top to bottom, or bottom to top. And that the fallen have their own location. Not disappointed! |

It's nicer than you'd expect from a statue about a video game. Instead of a giant space marine or something.
The 'quote from the EVE universe' isn't going to be 'can I have your stuff', I hope? |

here's the thing about using a timer - no matter what the end result is, people are almost without exception going to wind up feeling disappointed because the goodies they imagine lurking beyond 00:00:00 will always be better than the actual unveil. They will ALWAYS imagine that the countdown is leading up to the announcement that everything they have ever expressed a desire for in every forum post will be implemented. Were people seriously expecting this to be a countdown to "EVE: the Make Everything Magically Perfect For Everyone Expansion"?
So go ahead and use timers, if you want to! It doesn't matter what you put at the end, somebody will be underwhelmed, but that's life.
For my part, I'm whelmed. I remember thinking the monument was a great idea when it was discussed at Fanfest last year. "Worlds Within a World" will definitely be on my itinerary next time I'm in Reykjavik.
Here's to the next ten years. Maybe in 2024 we can launch a tribute to EVE into orbit around the moon! An in-character blog and a video: http://verinsjournal.blogspot.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu1mbsgo738

Dear CCP,
When you have a 1 week timer for big news I, as a small part of the Community, expect you to focus on itterating on the GAME.
Regards,
A Freelancer
PS: the eve monument was announced at fanfest 2013, why rehash it when you got nothing new to say about the game. Eve rule no.1: The players will make a better version of the game, then CCP initially plans.

Not a bad idea, I think it's a nice tribute to the EVE playerbase.
Will this statue be replicated ingame as say a floating monument around Jita 4-4? |

In b4 people having no idea what a marketing budget is.
I think it's actually a good way to get some publicity in the media and maby attract new players. Doubful the extra income from selling PLEX/GTCs will cover the price of the monuments, so it's probably not a short-term cash grab.
That said, Hilmar in viking garb would be more awesome
EDIT: also I think that the whole timer-hype was pretty hilarous. > Implying I need a signature |

I have no problem with an 'artistic' sculpture, if CCP wants to build one, go for it. Personally, I think its ugly and in no way represents the game, or Icelandic culture.
But did we need REALLY a countdown for it?
The counter seems like total vanity and narcissism to me. |

They said they were building a monument and within a year, they built a monument. It will look good in the harbor and be a place for people to remember the beginnings of MMOs for hundreds of years; or until the next Volcano.

Nice try trying to slip this by, shame I thought CCP was somewhat independent but seems it's controlled by the same people as the big corporations and following the same agenda.

Couldn't the money put into erecting this thing have paid a dev to fix some of the abandoned content in this game :/
Edit : Monument should just have been a concrete door that never opens. It's more representative of their development style :)
Hahah I told CCP that at least one idiot would make this stupid whiny argument.
