What is that monument anyway?

Rich from someone who had a name so offensive or childish or both that it was censored.

Sorry when did real life come into this at all?

OP called the playerbase out even though they have already been guilty of the same thing

Its wrong to point out that hypocrisy?

OP: Some EVE players can not separate them self from the game.


Themselves.

who is Xenuria, and why do many people dislike him/her?




And yeah thats so sad....



I like Mizhir.

because you *think* something happened without proof.

I hope CCP take all of Gevlons ISK in plex value for the repair, that's bloody discusting.

We're well aware of this, and are dealing with the situation as we speak.

Frankly, on a personal note, I find this absolutely disgusting and completely detrimental to the EVE Community's close knit spirit.

We'll have more information tomorrow afternoon/evening regarding this.

Really sorry that this has happened guys

The monument needs an honour guard 24/7, I'll take the first watch, CCP transfer airline funds into my account.

I have removed a rule breaking post and those quoting it.

The Rules:
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.


Also as a personal note, regardless of who's name it is on that monument, you could always find reasons. Next could be me because some 'hate' me on the forums. Would that reasoning make it right? It's a real life statue in the public domain. It should not be molested for whatever reason.
Think about it, if this would be ok, where would the final line be drawn?

If it didn't pay for itself and then some with people resubbing to get their name on it then marketing needs a kick up the arse.

Charge whats-his-face for the replacement of the plate that was vandalized, and apply banhammer liberally.



He took it too far, yet I doubt CCP will take it far enough.

Note to the poaster of the OP

Please stop spamming my Evemail

I accepted Falcon's post, and was never in favour of criminal damage, no matter what you might think.

As I have stated, you have now been reported for harassment, and out-of-game at that.

Please do not send me any further Evemails, thank you.

"I accepted Falcon's post, and was never in favour of criminal damage, no matter what you might think."

Yeah, clearly off-topic.

Please don't put words in my mouth, I didn't confirm that it was him.

What I can confirm is that the monument has indeed been vandalized, and we're looking into what action we can take, once we confirm who is responsible.

favour.

So, there's a couple of things going to happen in this thread right now:

• First - People are going to stop pointing fingers and blaming people. CCP will investigate and take any action against game accounts, along with any legal action that we feel necessary. This is already in progress.
• Second - This is damage of public property in the City of Reykjavik. The police have been informed, and investigation is ongoing. This is not a laughing matter, and will be dealt with as a criminal offence. We are currently reviewing security footage from a number of surrounding buildings.
• Third - People will stop attacking the victim of this on our forums. It's not funny, it's not clever. Take your rumor mongering and personal attacks away from our community. If you choose not to, you'll be removed from the community, permanently. It's a simple as that. We will not tolerate victimization.

What's happened is absolutely disgusting. It's an insult to the entire community and is clearly the work a person who believes that behavior in a virtual world is a valid reason to make a real life personal attack on someone, and deface public property.

We will not tolerate this.

Thankfully we've already had a number of players come forward to assist us and provide information. Including, we believe, members of the person's own alliance.

Thankfully the vast majority of the rest of the community are in the same frame of mind as CCP - disgusted at the fact that someone would do this, and we're extremely grateful for your assistance.

With that in mind, I'll make a simple one time offer, that if the person who defaced the monument wants to come forward and contact me relating to this, then they can do so by EVE mailing my Dev character. If this happens, we'll take it as a gesture of good faith after an extremely stupid act that was committed.

With this in mind, be sure to keep this thread on topic, and cut out the personal attacks and finger pointing. People who break the rules will lose their forum posting privileges. Permanently.

Thanks.

Sooo...this is all about the whole scracth thing right?

What happened to the Goon-sticker that somebody put on the monument? Was it removed?

Ninjaedit: Also great response CCP, please make sure this idiot gets caught.
