Hey guys,
It's with a heavy heart that I have to speak in relation to the damage that was done to the EVE Universe Monument just four days after it was unveiled.
Firstly, I'll say that the fact that the monument was vandalized is an insult to the entire community, not just to the individual who's name was directly targeted by the vandalism. Thankfully with the assistance of a number of members of the community, including some of those who were involved with the incident and other members of their own alliance, we've been able to make headway in identifying those responsible.
Secondly, we would like to reiterate that we do not tolerate this kind of behavior and will continue to operate a zero tolerance approach to dealing with harassment and victimization in the EVE Universe.
As such, three individuals have been permanently removed from the EVE Community. A total of 7 EVE Online accounts, and 1 DUST 514 account belonging to them have been permanently banned. Another individual who was indirectly involved in the vandalism has received a 6 month ban from EVE Online on their sole registered account.
The four individuals involved are also blacklisted permanently from attending future Fanfest events.
While the community has been justifiably outraged and a number of people have requested that we release the ingame identities of those who carried out the act, we feel that this would be contrary to our privacy policies. As such we will deal with this incident in line with our current policies, and the identities of those responsible will remain confidential.
With this in mind, we now consider this issue resolved within the EVE Universe, and any further action taken outside the virtual world relating to criminal damage or recovery of costs for repairs to the EVE Universe Monument will remain confidential between CCP Games, the authorities, and those involved.
This thread will be left open for discussion, be sure to keep it on topic, with no personal attacks and finger pointing. This is a pretty sensitive subject for some members of the community, and as such people who break the rules will lose their forum posting privileges.
Thanks.

We will make several offerings to the Hulduf+¦lk (elves) to watch over it and bring mischief and misery to those who stand against us.

Yes. It even went to the prosecutor. But that was not in any way related to eve. In fact it was back in the -80's. What's your point? The point is, if the penalties for honesty is a harsh punishment, and the penalty for lying is, well, nothing, would you be honest? Yes. For there is only one responsible for my actions, namely me.
Even if I wasn't aware of the consequences or possible later repercussions at the time of those actions.
And I have done some (in hindsight) rather stupid things irl....

If something like this happened once than it can potentially happen again. I also have a question, the people that got banned permanently from EvE; can I have their stuff?
We're obviously not going to reveal if, when or what we're going to do in terms of boosting security around the monument, but you can rest assured that we'll make sure that things are covered.
i'm still sick to my stomach that someone would have done this to be perfectly honest, and I'm glad that we were able to solve the situation.

Anger? No.
Disappointment that this happened? Absolutely.

Anger? No. Disappointment that this happened? Absolutely. As much as I appreciate the sentiment and your post, the disappointed dad routine just doesn't jive with the 'swift hammer of justice' vibe. I believe you may have acted hastily and rashly, and while you have no obligation to explain yourself to me, I believe it necessary to point out this extremely possible scenario.
Thanks for your opinion on the matter.

Hey guys,
A little update on this, I'd like to point out that there's a few news and media agencies who've took it upon themselves to use hearsay and rumor in order to get their stories together, rather than coming to us for clarification.
Most of these rumors surround the fatbee that was stuck to the monument for photos on thte day it was unveiled. There's a few media outlets who are incorrectly referencing Goonswarm as the vandals, despite the fact that the sticker was put there simply for fun, and was removed a few hours later with no damage.
They seem to be confusing a little bit of fun with an actual act of vandalism. Although this isn't our doing, Goonswarm, you have my apologies. We're working on contacting several outlets to let them know that their stories are incorrect and should be edited.
Just an FYI
