There was a mention of CCP relocating away from Iceland some time ago. I think Isle of Man was mentioned as well as others.
I just wondered if this was still being considered or are they staying in Iceland for the time being.

I believe they moved to new offices? But I have never seen the pictures of the new open plan offices yet.. Would be nice for a link.
I think the only reason they would leave Iceland is the taxes and/or the cutting of internet pipes on the beach...

But... I love CCP because they're in Iceland. Relocating somewhere outside Iceland would make me sad :(

Iceland will eventually be overcome by the rising ocean level caused by global warming, from there it will be known as atlantis 2. They are going to have to move sometime.

If they move to somewhere closer to the UK I would be spamming their inbox hourly with my CV, so that's probably a good enough reason for them to stay in Iceland for the time being.

Someone correct me if I¦m wrong but ccp were seriously thinking about moving their HQ out of Iceland because the Icelandic currency (ISK) was unusually high towards Euro/Dollars last year, resulting in less income isk-wise. I think CCP decided to stay in Iceland not only because the currency is better balanced, but also because the government is planning on making special tax regulation for sofware/technology companies. The server is in London so internet connection to/from Iceland has nothing to do with it.

CCP has been courted by at least 2 countries to relocate. CCP did look into the benefits and detriments of relocation and decided to stay in Iceland. Is it possible that relocation will eventually occur? Yes, but only after an exhaustive process of investigation, assessment and study.

Quote: The successful computer game company CCP is seriously considering moving its operation from Iceland and authorities on the Isle of Man (United Kingdom) and in Canada have shown great interest in the company.

Originally by: IcelandReview CCP is currently IcelandÆs largest exporter of software. Its turnover last year was ISK 549 million and they are forecasting ISK 1 billion over the next 12 months.
btw: ISK 1 billion (the real stuff) ~ $14 million USD
So, how much profit does CCP make from EVE..?

I like that they're in Iceland. I've been there 3 times (twice with the military and once on vacation) and I love it. If I had a computer background instead of a business background I'd try to get a job with CCP b/c I love the game and the location. I wanna go back to Club Pravda =)
