This, there was a 6.1 earthquake in peru 4 days ago. Wheres there PLEX drive? They wont get the media coverage like italy will so it'll go mostly unnoticed like many earthquakes around the world.
I think this needed to be a private thing sent to CCP first because making it public just seems like you're begging and plenty of that goes on in GD as it is. |

I don't know how things go in Peru and I am certainly not against sharing a campaign if something disruptive happenedthere. I know that here we have lots of ancient palaces and monuments that have been promoted by UNESCO as humanity heritage and those are extremely fragile and get destroyed by smaller events than in other places in the worlds.

Not really, im smart enough to value life over buildings and monuments. Also just to reiterate my point;

I see no reason why CCP can't always have a PLEX drive going, maybe change the destination every month. |

If you're willing to spend money on plex for a donation, how about you donate the money NOW instead of waiting for the chance that CCP does do this. I imagine that there are already organizations set up to take donations of all sorts. And how the hell do you know it's not already done for some? I'm pretty aware of those humanitarian organisations, I'm at 15mn center Geneva and actually work with them sometimes, most of the money you send there stays for internal needs (those pay bills/salary too) and most of the OGM's have personnel that doesn't live with good intentions and awesome words, in fact most of them do it because it's financially worthy. Humanitarian stuff? -90% jokes 10% real ones Were do you think the money CCP would send would go?
My guess is the same places. |

Donor fatigue anyone?
Maybe PLEX for X should start focusing on other issues besides the last cruise liner that plunged into a random star.
Could an order be established like...
- Starving kids (multiple countries) - Pandemic (200,000 dead) - Natural disaster (10,000 dead) - Malaria - Etc.
And a long way down...
- A few broken antiquities
Once one world problem is solved the next item on the list can be tackled so we don't have to see this kind of thread again. EVE shall be purged by fire - please Gods let them ALL burn in Jita. |

These Italian earthquakes, while bad are not very big. These rather minor earthquakes will continue for some time yet as the fault system unzips itself untill the preassure stablises. This happens every few decades and the vast bulk of building will suffer only minor damage. Italy is in the G8 and has the funds to deal with this. Plex drive should be reserved for real disasters. |

I imagine that there are already organizations set up to take donations of all sorts. Because they're buying the PLEX with ISK. Some of us have more discretionary space pixels than real money to play with.
????
You would think that I didn't make a post suggesting that people who would be willing to spend their MONEY on plex, not isk, to donate that money now instead of waiting for the offchance that CCP will do a fundraiser.
Except that's clearly what I did write, you even quoted it.
WTF is wrong with some people. I should be the most negative, miserable ******* person on this forum, and yet some of you have me severely beat. |

No amount of PLEX can save Italy or the Eurozone from the nightmare which is to come.
Best to just forget about them like they're already dead. |

Thank god I'm not the only one that saw it this way, yes any earthquake is bad and if one occurred and left me homeless somehow I think the last place I'd come for help would be the EvE-O forums
Putting CCP's PLEX efforts into aspect:
Haiti Earthquake (3rd world country) - 316000 people died, $14 billion in damages
Japan Earthquake/Tsunami - 15891 people died, between $15-36 billion in damages
Italy so far - 25 dead, $6 billion in damages
As already said if this thread is to influence CCP into more PLEX for charities I'd rather it seen go to real disasters or global crises. |

OP well I am glad you have tons of ISK but it doesn't help the Real World. Somebody has to pay RL cash to help those in need.
If you are really that concerned then find a charity and send them some RL cash. EVERYBODY KNOWS |

My guess goes for local red cross (volunteers), witch would be by far the most serious one. brb |

Ignorant at best.... give evolution a try, otherwise Mr. Darwin will take care of you my friend.
I wasn't aware of your initiative, as an Italian I sincerely sympathize. Expect a plex from me in the next few days, even if this initiative doesn't get through, it's still commendable and worthy of respect.
I was actually fairly close to the epicentre when two of the major quakes happened. And yes, it wasn't Japan, it wasn't Haiti, but I assure you it wasn't a joke either. |

They never are. However to put things into scale, The earthquake you felt was 10,000 times lighter than the megathrust slip that hit Japan in 2011 which lasted 6 minutes. The big issue you have in Italy is Naples which is a disaster waiting to happen. |

The way it works:
Player donates a PLEX to a particular CCP toon. CCP removes the PLEX from the game and donates the cash used to create the PLEX to the cause. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

thanks Vaerah - Increasing PLEX prices - Inexpensive PR exposure - Tax deductions
Don't really see a reason why CCP wouldn't support it. " Take my love, take my land, take me where I can not stand, I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me. "

Absolutely, I understand, and that is why I expect it (deservingly) didn't get 1/10000 of the media coverage (like the one in Per+¦, of which unfortunately I wasn't aware). At the same time, I don't feel it invalidates the cause or the effort, since he's obviously trying to get some attention to something that probably has gone unnoticed world wide...
Anyways, regardless of that, donating a few ISK to a charity that involves eve online can't hurt, at the very least it will build a good reputation for the eve online community as a charitable lot! (LOL :P)
Anyways, thanks Vaer. Cool idea. |
