Some day, I'll have snotty little grandchildren and I'll drag them along on my pilgrimage to that monument and I'll insist on walking there all the way from the airport around the whole island (just to annoy them) to the monument and I'll constantly bicker on about how things used to be better in my days and that game companies used to value their customers until they can recite everything tehy said in their sleep.
And when we're at the monument, I'll point at my name and say "That was me!" and then they'll ask "But grandpa, why is that a womans name?" and I'll turn beet red and walk away, silently muttering on about the ungratefull little brats asking such stpuid questiuons after all I've done for them.
In short, it'll be absolutely hilarious and my family will talk about how I trolled them even two generations after I am dead. Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Basically this. Its cool, but the countdown built up mystery that couldn't be satisfied with something I will probably never see. This is a "nice to have" thing, nothing we wanted or needed, and the countdown kinda made the impact of the announcement more disappointing even though it is cool. Changes to the game You really think someone would do that? Just log into EvE and tell lies? |

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.
How many old players will resub to get their name on the monument? How many will stick around for a while when they see how much has changed in EVE since they played? How many extra devs will CCP be able to afford with all this extra sub money?
And most importantly of all, how will all this nerf hi-sec?

Monument is pretty cool tbh, but in all honesty it would probably have been alot more well received without the dramatic countdown lol |

Eh, its an internet forum, so I guess the negativity should be expected.
For my part: its not at all what I was expecting. And its a little strange in some ways, but that might be because I've never before heard of a monument honoring gamers... Fallen soldiers, drowned sailors, etc. yes, but us ? I'm not 100% sure we deserve it.
If anything, its a little overwhelming. That the city of Reykjavik and CCP would honor us IRL in such a way is, to me, quite humbling.
Cheers to the monument, may it stand the test of time. |

Stupid short term money grab, "getting players to resub for their name on it."
Useless idea.
My favorite part is the crappy article by Ripard justifying it, headlined with "We're All Building This Together" - along with a random picture of our useless CSM's.

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.
And I told my friends that at least one CSM member would pickout "Maybe develop the game more instead of building monuments lol" as a "stupid whiny argument". Shows what we know Standing Services - Free 3rd Party & Collateral Holding - MD Experiment

I really like the monument. Good design, way better than the first ones shown on Fan Fest 2013. The Timer was a great idea too.
It is somewhat disappointing to see how rude people become when reality does not live up to their expectations, then again I didn't expect anything else from certain parts of the EVE community.

This is definitely very cool, and good IMO. I'm just wondering (serious question to CCP here), who does this benefit? The players I'm sure would rather this money be spent on the game, or given to a charity, and this can't possibly increase shareholder value. The only other possibility is that it's a pointless vanity project for management, but I'll leave absurd accusations like that to the Goon Knuckleheads & Trolls who roam these boards... |

What a bunch of pessimistic, self-entitled, unimaginative DWEEBS poasting in here.
CCP should just copy the toon names of all the Haters in this thread and LEAVE THEM OFF the monument.
Easily done. And I hope they do.
It's a beautiful structure and a great idea, and I can't wait to visit it sometime in the future.

You've never heard of management engaging in vanity projects?

It's for themselves. |

Older players resubscribing is a bad thing ? REALLY ? TRULY ????
Unbelievable. Please, just leave our game. Just leave. Really. You do not deserve to be on this structure, ever.

Exactly, this whole thing is a vanity project for CCP... fine, they are entitled to it if they want it. They can have gold toilets and a bidet made of ivory if they want.
But to place a counter on it, and act like its some big 'for the player' thing and expect us to get excited for it is just terribly narcissistic... I was hoping for a 'come back to eve' promotion or something that had to do with the game.
That 'monument' doesnt reflect the game at all, nor does it reflect icelandic culture at all... its some random shapes. I could have come up with a model of something more pleasing in a week.
So,
#1: The Monument is ugly, random and doesn't reflect the game or the culture that birthed it. #2: The countdown built up excitement for an announcement that is simply a CCP vanity project. #3: The majority of players are here saying 'here we go again!' and full of disappointment.
Id say someone at CCP dropped the ball on this one, I hope they are listening.
What happened to a few years ago when they Pres posted a letter, 'sorry we don't listen to you we will do better'?
I haven't played in a long time, but this announcement is pretty pathetic all around. |

Erm Ok
How much did CCP actually pay this guy to make this?. I mean anyone can make a dildo, ruler and a tripod and stick it next to each other.
Kinda cool but it doesnt look like anything to do with EvE. I mean shouldnt there be 4 races or 4 bits. Maybe ducktape on the end or somthing? Quoting "you will die" in EvE is fail Chars dont die in EvE. Unless you have a heart attack eek. CCP Huggin and Grimmi thanks a bunch for your typical information of nowt.

I am so completely and utterly underwhelmed, CCP. Yeah, I guess a monument is cool, but here I was thinking the timer would be counting down to some important change to EVE Online, rather than an announcement about a planned monument.
How does this thing even represent EVE? There's no imagery in the design that resembles anything in EVE, just a blank obelisk flanked by a face-like object. The only thing telling us that this monument represents EVE is that sculptor saying it does. It could just as well represent the struggle of the common man to understand the mindless rapacity of the business world, or something else appropriately art-wonky.
I'm disappointed, CCP, because you made such a big deal over this and it's something that doesn't actually affect a lot of us. GÇ£Point out to me a person who has been harmed by an AFK cloaker and I will point out a person who has no business playing this game.GÇ¥ - CCP Soundwave |
