I have maintained a fund for this purpose for more than two years. The idea of using ISK for charity makes Eve more meaningful, and gives direction to my (Eve) life.
The last PLEX for good drive was in May 2011 iirc. Surely we need to give to charity more frequently, and there is no time like right now. |

Is there any accountability? You say you collect donations throughout the year and IF a disaster happens you donate the isk to the character that CCP created. What happens to the isk if there was no disaster that made the news?
How much do you keep to yourself? This is EVE after all... Scams are part of the game... is this a scam?
With no accountability You will get no iskies from me and about accountability... is Somer Blink going to be the "Trusted party"?
After all they are doing a service to the community.
Scamming in this context will not be tolerated by CCP. Vaerah Vahrokha is as trustworthy as anyone can be in Eve, and is fully committed towards managing this fund.
If you can afford to buy a PLEX, you might as well donate it directly. The fund in question becomes especially useful if
(a) you want to donate a small amount i.e. less than PLEX value
(b) you are taking a break from Eve, or do not want to be bothered with the details/procedure to donate, and want to ensure that your hard earned ISK gets put to good use. Any colour you like. |

That is a great gesture, and gives me the idea for auctioning off a T2 BPO that I have. A significant proportion of the sale price will go to charity. The higher the sale price, the more goes to charity. Will work on a formula where 100% goes to charity if the bids reach a certain value. This is, of course, if CCP decide to open the PLEX for Good drive.
Any colour you like. |

How does a PLEX drive impact the PLEX market? Maybe CCP are wary of introducing a drive with PLEX riding high?

Hilmar is famous for letting dust settle before addressing issues... we need another 40something page threadnought to reassure CCP that the problem hasn't gone away by itself. Any colour you like. |

The opposition was especially intense for the Pakistan drive where the prevalent sentiment appeared to be, "they deserve what they got, so let them die."
The drives did help restore my faith in CCP. Possibly those were good days for CCP. Dust was not even on the horizon, and tax benefits probably made more sense than they do currently.
Having said all that, and despite the fiasco of 2011, I still believe that CCP retain their core values. They repeatedly make mistakes, but are similarly consistent in making amends. I believe that they will (eventually) do the right thing (whatever that may be). Any colour you like. |
