EVE is also populated by a community of people, a community that has several times in the past come together to make a large sum donations to the Icelandic Red Cross for various natural disasters. IIRC PLEX for Good has provided in the neighborhood of 350K USD since its inception.
If you choose to donate to a charity on your own, that is great, but the PLEX for good program was designed and exists for situations just as this, and our community has and will hopefully continue to step up to the plate.
And i suppose there is some selfishness in going through PLEX for good, and not a private donation. It shines a positive light on our community, one that is typically displayed as a cut throat environment full of psychopaths and sycophants. Not to mention not many charities accept ISK as a donation(none?). |

Yep. PLEX for Good is a CCP-approved RMT system where the RMT income goes to charity.
Someone (Amarr Citizen 155) gave 1250 PLEX last time. I have no idea if the human behind that character could have afforded to donate USD 18k out of their own wallet, but by effectively RMTing their trillion ISK (with CCP approval) that is what they were able to give to the Icelandic Red Cross's relief fund for the Phillipines after Haiyan.
Shoot everyone. Let the Saviour sort it out.

Well I won't dissuade people from trying to do a good thing, the Red Cross is most likely a better option though, and the money will also go towards tackling many other crises.
With regards to isk being used, in the end it is still all converted to $ and then taken out of the game, and out of CCPs budget. |

Well CCP donates on behalf of the community to the Icelandic Red Cross, so its still going into the hands of the folks who are experienced in dealing with relief provisions.
The isk isn't taken from the game, it works exactly like buying PLEX from the market does ordinarily, instead of consuming that PLEX for personal use, it is contracted to "someone from CCP" and then I imagine destroyed. The money comes from people seeding PLEX to the market, and yes this ultimately results in CCP using some of its profits (not budget) as a donation on behalf of the community.
Hope this helps clear up the process! |

I have lived in Kath for a little while now, and I was in my room Saturday morning when the 7.8 hit. 40 hours later, I'm still alive because of the metal desk that stood more or less intact against the collapsed structure, wood and cement, of the house I was in. My situation really doesn't compare to a lot of people who are stuck here and in much worse condition.. I was only in danger of suffocation and some dehydration. After I was pulled out, I couldn't locate most of the people I know in the city, it's very hard to understand what's happened to them. I'm lucky.. my brother located me and I am travelling to get medical help in India.. the situation in Kath is very grave with many people injured and very little space to keep them warm or safe. From what I understand many rescue groups are coming in to help.
The earthquake was near equal in magnitude to the 7.9 that hit San Francisco in 1906, which is regarded as one of the worst natural disasters in the US. Both earthquakes have claimed upwards of 3,000 lives. The Nepali quake was at a very shallow depth (10-11 miles I believe), so the devastation is very widespread. There are people in India as far down as Kolkata who have fissures down their walls and foundations from the aftershocks alone.
I think we spend money on a lot of things, and if you can give even a little bit to Red Cross, or to CCP if they open up PLEX For Good, then I think it would be a good thing.
This doesn't lessen the pain and suffering of humans and non humans anywhere else in the world.. and there is a lot of suffering the world over.. but something really horrible happened in Nepal Saturday morning, and every little bit of help would go a long way.

Is a huge relief Sib.
A few of us have been worried since it happened and all been sending positive thoughts your way.
Is a perfect example of why this is not about a bunch of gamers, but about the community we have in eve.
A PLEX for Good drive allows a guy to jump in his space ship, go earn ISK, buy a PLEX and turn that PLEX into aid on the ground. Even for members of the community who can't afford to send aid themselves, their time invested in playing Eve can have a real impact on the recovery of someone else's life half way around the World. That's not a small thing.

Holy crap! I've lived through some scary things, but a big earthquake ain't one of them.
I hope you, your brother, and your friends all come out of this mostly intact. Bad enough to lose a house, but that's nothing compared to losing a loved one.

Mt. Everest Basecamp Hit By Avalanche LANGUAGE WARNING
Filmed by a German climber at Mt. Everest BC on the south side.
at least 20 dead there, more than 200 missing, and another 100 or so climbers stranded in camps higher up on the mountain. The only way down back to base camp besides helicopter from the higher camps is a route through the treacherous khumbu icefall, and the preset route was destroyed.
Just one more portion of the greater situation.

My thoughts and heart goes out to everyone caught in this disaster.
I would sure like to donate some PLEX again, to this worthy cause.
(As I can't really afford RL ISK at the moment).
Plus, I think its about time Mimic gets a haircut again, its sorta getting long

I felt free to make an inquiry if people would be willing to do another SuicideGanking4Good run.
Also I am not in any way or form posting to bring this back to the top.
Bumping is fine, Ganking is fine.
The real issue are Carebears. Bad people wishing ill and death upon on all of us.
The obvious solution is to wipe them out and make sure they don't come back.
Let's kill them all for the good of EVEmanity.

Vaerah Vahrokha has in the past done collection (before and during) of ISK for "PLEX for GOOD" events. I have not seen him around in a while, so I will double check if he is still around.
Otherwise I gladly step up, and take over as I would love to see donations maximized for "PLEX for GOOD".
And remember : https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/PLEX_for_GOOD "Warning: Attempting to scam in relation to the PLEX for GOOD program will result in the offender, or offenders, being permanently banned from EVE Online."
