Recognize the fact that Reykjaviks property intentionally got damaged and there is a cost involved in the repairment of this property. ... Dude, dead women and children, please. So because some parts of the world are so backward that they commit atrocities such as those in Syria, we should all judge our own country's people's behaviour by their low standard? I could use your argument to justify practically anything, as there is almost always something else worse going on the world.That's not how it works. There is no excuse for defacing this monument.

The average age of an Eve Online player is, I believe, around the 30 mark.
Perhaps CCP believed that a protective covering for the monument was not necessary.
It is sad that CCP were mistaken in their belief.
Well it is in the cities Harbor, exposed to the elements and anybody else who happens by it. |

I have five accounts active now, and thanks to my work schedule I can log in for a decent amount of time for 2-3 consecutive days out of every 5 or so.

I think he was talking about the average Concurrency numbers, which are down. Further, I suspect, but am not certain, that 500k includes all the servers, not just Tranquility. |

I'm not sure why you're comparing the two.
Unless you're going to get your checkbook out and donate, or strap a gun to your back and go help the rebels, please stop bringing Syria up like it's your own personal cause. This thread is about the EVE monument and how it pisses us EVE players off that someone screwed with it. Please stay on topic.

You know, I was just joking with my wife about this. Imagine if you will 1,000 years from now, the monument in iceland is one of the few things remaining of earth, all records have been wiped out and there is no cultural context to intepret.
A Meegob and his son (yeah I made that race up) come up to the monument and read the description: "From what we can discern, inscribed on this monument are the names of the dead from one of the space battles which occurred in Earth's history."
Son: Wow, that is a lot of earthlings to die in one battle.
Father: Yup, we think they were a pretty violent species.
Son: Weird names too. What does LOLCats48 mean you think?
Father: Well, some of the few remaining artifacts help explain that one son. Apparently this species venerated a feline species similar to our zargots, they were called LOLCats. They created thousands of pictures of them making strange faces and writing their ancient language on them. Many children were then named after the creature they worshiped. Since registering names with their species obviously required it to be unique, parents just added numbers. If you notice, not a single name on this monument is the same.
Son: earthlings were weird.
Father: Yup, let's go, we have time to see the giant ball of string that survived the destruction of the species. It is another memorial to their venerated LOLCats. |

The substance is called glass Hard, yes. Corrosive-resistant, also yes. The problem with glass is that it is also brittle and tends to produce surgically sharp edges when shattered. Also, slippery when wet. I'm thinking the city of Reykjavik probably DON'T want a monument where if somebody falls over on it while wearing goth pants, that person goes to the hospital looking like they just picked a fight with Freddy Krueger.
You ever tried to actually go through a thick plate glass window - like found everywhere in commercial buildings? Good luck.

Its not often I agree with Chopper but when I do its because he has perspective and is damn right.

I read this post by Andski: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4554301#post4554301
And then this post by Triskian: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4557269#post4557269
And was wondering why there is such a difference.
What has changed in the playerbase in a year, that would have caused such a difference ? |

Punching someone out over a strip of cloth, breaking their nose, and kicking them when they're on the ground is (this happened, I don't know who it happened to, but it wasn't a pretty sight), in my opinion, far worse than what happened to the monument.
Did someone say fleg?

Lay off the 'worse things happen in Syria' argument, please. It lacks any logical relation to this.

That's exactly what i was thinking as well.
What the hell happened?
Though tbh, if someone causes trouble while visiting iceland for fanfest, just revoke their fanfest pass and make them pitch a tent near a volcano untill their plane leaves for home so the hotel and bars dont have to deal with him/her either.

It was one of the few good things about BoB running up into Fountain did was I never saw him again. Now, granted, this is over ten years, and just the worst offenders. But yeah.

Whoever vandalised it should be ashamed of themselves, and made to pay for repairs on top of any other sanctions imposed.
