The Isle of Man would be a superb location with excellent comms to the UK and a great package for businesses in the way of tax etc. I just wouldn't be expecting the same sort of nightlife that you get in Iceland. Beer is cheap though :D
P.S if you do move over here, can I have a job? 
BTW - It would be a lot cheaper to hold the fanfest here, a LOT. Boats from Heysham and Liverpool, cheap flights from London etc. And the ladiez can stay at my country mansion free of charge ;)
Carlsberg dont make Eve Pilots, but if they did, i wouldnt be one of them.

Move to North-Korea, it pWnz.
Think about all the cheap testing staff you could hire, and hell, you could maybe get early screenings of Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, that is if South-Korea allows you to enter after going north.

ok thats not a nice thing to say about your country and being from ontario i find that offensive
How can anyone consider that offensive? He's absolutely right. The west coast has a much more mild winter than the rest of Canada. Ontarios bad enough (my home province) but try visiting Edmonton or Winnipeg in Januray/February. Its really is hostile to life. Step outside without a jacket and you'll agree  Try the east coast at the same time. Gah.
But then CCP is from Iceland, I can't imagine their winters are that much better?
P.S. Um, wether its Canada or Isle of Man, can I have a job? I'm able to relocate

The other nice thing about the Isle of Man, is the distinct *lack* of Hßkarl

You obviously havn't been to some of the chipshops around here.. Iceland isn't the only place famous for its manky old fish.

I must admit I always wondered what the quantity of eve players was on the Island, maybe CCP could release some figures based on IP connections.
Carlsberg dont make Eve Pilots, but if they did, i wouldnt be one of them.

I say we all fly to Iceland and wear CCP t-shirts and stand outside there houses and stare into there windows from the street till they move somewhere cheaper for fanfest to be held!
Just a crazy idea though 
FanFest 06? 
In all seriousness, at this time all we are doing is investigating offers that have been made. IF we determine it would be in the game and company's best interests to move overseas, moving would be a long way into the future.
The offers are nice, as is the information, but there is a lot of planning to do before traveling down any road to a new home.

Scotland.
Contact the scottish enterprise board, and they're likely to start touting you for suport too.
Scottish New Media has some of the most respected studio creatives in the world, with DMA Designs, Visual Science, Rockstar North, Realtime Worlds, and a host of dozens of other companies throughout the country who are have demonstrated that the scottish games industry is among the most vibrant in the world. From every genre, including MMO development, scottish studios are ripe for headhunting for expansion.
Having worked in the industry in project management (away from my usual artist's positions) for setting up studios before - admittedly on a considerably lower budget (only a few millions, small change to CCP's scale), I can say with absolute certainty that the avaialbility of staff, infrastructure and development opportunity is second to none globally. It also has a range of some of the most talented graduates in the industry, though academic sources like the university of Abertay, Dundee, with its related Dare to Be Digital campaigns, supported currently by EA, and other companies. The university and city may be pretty duff, but the graduates it produces are top-notch. and that's ignoring the eqqually skilled workforce in other cities. Dundee also has one of the most recognised IT infrastructures in the country, including multiple support teams for national and international companies - exactly the sort of infrastucture you will need to outsource for support GM teams.
oh, and by the time you've set up there, I can hopefully have reached an expert level in Maya skills, and apply for a job...
