This would go beter of without a timer.

I don't know of many things that have had monuments erected in its name.

Warcraft? There's no Great Orc statue.

The "timer" feedback was anticipated by some of us and has already been passed around internally to the appropriate people, so you can all mark that down as noted.

Although one person did have a brilliant idea on Twitter that would make for an awesome April Fools joke. i bet the timer will end and it will be all like "timer feature test complete..."

Well, actually, there is: http://www.popehat.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/orc-statue-in-front-of-blizzard-hq-irvine-california.jpg

It sits outside Blizzard's HQ in California.

Kerrigan is pretty cool as well.

The cool thing about Blizzard is that they were at least honest about admitting that it was a gift for themselves, not the players.

Yes, some of us are going to chuckle that CCP is undertaking a vanity project as a sad publicity stunt.

It reminds me of trying to cure the economy through advertising that the economy is good - and then justifying it by talking about all those jobs you created by making the advertisement in the first place.

I agree.

I mean, look at these responses. If you give even minor criticism, people basically vomit insults into their keyboards as a response.

It's almost as if they can't handle criticism at all, and expect every single thing CCP does to be met with universal acclaim.

How is this Vanity ? What does CCP have to gain ? This is costing them a lot of ISK, literally ISK.

Just what is CCP trying to white-wash as you imply by inference to "distracting from the truth" advertising methods.

Just what, really ?

This whole thing has done nothing but show how unimaginative and lame most of this playerbase actually is.

I seriously hope CCP is doing the high school teacher thing and "taking names". Those who are vehemently opposed to this should be left off the monument without question.

And that is very easily done. Or, how about a mechanic on the Account management page so that people can opt out if they are so insulted about being celebrated for supporting the game for so long ?

I like the "taking the names from the Forums" idea much better though.

Another one for the opt-out feature! Maybe CCP will listen.
