kieron	Posted - 2006.08.28 18:46:00 - [1] Looking for a potential career in the gaming industry, or want to work for CCP? Are you interested in what really goes on in the office, or curious what happened to Oveur's 'friend', head on over to take a look at the new Job Offer/Dev Blog, read through it carefully and if you meet the requirements, send Helgi an e-mail. I know we set the bar high in regards to the job requirements, but we want the best of the best working for CCP. I also know there are going to be a lot of questions, so start asking them here, I'll do my best to answer them. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

If you meet the other requirements, go ahead and submit your information, but be forewarned that your application will be further down on the list of potential acceptees. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

PotajiTo	Posted - 2006.08.28 19:02:00 - [8] Nice! But the 3 years subcription is a bit hard. I've met players with 1 year that know more than one with 3. But still a very good offer.

Not that it matters, since I'm barely a year old.

Due to security concerns CCP does not want the GM client or interface out of the office.

Minsc Gallente Phoenix Order	Posted - 2006.08.28 20:23:00 - [21] My main question would be what kind of pay to expect if we get through the internship.

However for me to leave my job for 600$ is actualy an insult. you cannot live from 600$ at all or is this an icelandic currency who is much more worth in euro`s? It's an internship - i'd imagine it would be most suitable for students and the like taking a or considering taking a gap year. Not for people who already have careers. Whilst $600 isn't very much (i'm sure it goes even less in Iceland than it would go in the UK...) i'm sure the whole experience of living in Iceland, experiencing a different culture whilst expanding your CV would be worthwhile for a great deal of people. :)
Stins Gallente ISS Logistics	Posted - 2006.08.28 21:37:00 - [35] Active subscription for 3 years... Is it still worth to put in a application if that subscription has been put on hold for some months in these years?
Cavy Dan Gallente Alpha Praetorians Curse Coalition	Posted - 2006.08.28 22:05:00 - [36] I'd apply if it wasn't for... a) ...that I am 1 year short of subscription b) ...that I am Swedish citizen living in Canada for a year c) ...the Relocation, my gf has suffered enough.

kieron	Posted - 2006.08.28 23:43:00 - [40] More answers to questions in the thread. Originally by: MOOstradamus Q: If this position is only open to EU member states then why quote the salary/living expense allowance in Dollars and not more appropriately in Euros or ISK? Dollars are what was given to me for the announcement and I believe what the Acounting staff is going to use for pay purposes. Subject to exchange rate fluctuations, that amounts to ~470Ç or ~42.2k ISK per month. Originally by: Nefera Sen Maybe a stupid question but would the apartments have internet access? Originally by: Apertotes i would like to know if it is required to live on an apartment with other 2 interns. i mean, nothing against those 2 persons, just that i would like to know if we are free to live elsewhere if we carry with the expenses. Yes, there will be internet access in the apartment and if you have friends to live with in Iceland (or other living arrangements), you are not required to live in an intern apartment. Originally by: Eewec Ourbyni Out of curiosity whats the hours on that (start/finish) in the day or is it shift work? Shift work, but I believe the new GMs start out working days or evenings until they are trained. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

Nesa Antares Fleet Yards	Posted - 2006.08.29 01:46:00 - [46] A few months ago I would have jumped at this :o Though I didn't sign up for an account until 16 months after the beta, which means only two (2) years of ingame time. How often do these internships come up? If there was abit more warning (to allow us people on the other side of the world to obtain a visa) we might even be in with a chance. Depends on the country and the government of course, but sometimes visa's can be fast tracked, at a cost.
Pinkoir A.W.M	Posted - 2006.08.29 02:31:00 - [47] Heh I think Hendo001 really want's to apply. I would too were it not for the fact that I have no experience at GMing, have no right to work in EU and have a little too much mortgage to go galavanting across the ocean to Iceland. Not to mention the rather spectacular pay-cut :) Working with what seems to be the only dev-team in the MMO marketplace that actually gives a **** would certainly be sweet but would you really want to play EVE for a job? EVE is fun because I can come home from dealing with a bunch of people I have to work with and deal with a bunch of people like working with. If it was my job then the choice would be gone. Think of this too. The successful candidate would also have to listen to people whining EIGHT HOURS A DAY. "WAAAH I lost my ship to PIRATES"..."WAAAH The market is SOOOO mean to me"...."WAAAH I rebo^H^H^H^Hcrashed and now my dread is gone!!" Can you honestly say you want to deal with that?

voogru Gallente Massive Damage	Posted - 2006.08.29 04:45:00 - [51] I'd seriously love to lay some major smackdown on the ISK Farmers/ISK Sellers/ISK Buyers/eBayers and other various evildoers of EVE with a shiney GM account, but it just seems a little silly to move to Iceland when all of the work is done over the internet, nothing against Iceland, but I just make too much here to warrant moving so far away from home (Miami, Florida). Though the 5,000 word essay on why I think I would be a good GM sound's like it would be fun to write... seriously :) Oh well, I guess I'll just keep the GM's busy with my constant petitions about farmers, ISK sellers, ISK buyers, and eBayers.
Reiisha Frontier Technologies	Posted - 2006.08.29 05:02:00 - [52] I guess you won't need any new interns in a year... Why do these opportunities always present themselves when i can't take them. Bah.

Michayel Lyon Omerta Syndicate Pure.	Posted - 2006.08.29 05:15:00 - [54] Sounds really interesting, and I would love to apply... Only, I have just been playing actively for about a year... But I wonder what I could possibly learn about the game in the coming two years that I have not yet learned, that would be so incredibly important... Oh well, maybe it's just a way for them to separate the longtime players from the borderline fanatic... Or better yet, <hat type="tinfoil">it's a way for them to reduce the amount of non-BoB applications</hat>. Disclaimer: Post might contain small amounts of sarcasm.

Audrea Widowmakers Novus Ordos Seclorum	Posted - 2006.08.29 06:04:00 - [57] I have a question: Do other advantages (such as being able to support the customers on more than just English) is important enough to weive the requirement of 3 year experience? Also, why is it set to 3 year? does that mean in 2 years, requirements would be having 5 years ingame? I may be wrong, but I think this may rule out many fine people, who have 1-2 years of experience, and know the game just as well. In addition to doing injustice to these who werent lucky enough to start with the game after the beta ------------------ Tired of fleet combat lag? -Post HERE All posts are my personal opinions.

In addition to doing injustice to these who werent lucky enough to start with the game after the beta I don't think they just need people who know about EVE, but people who are also comitted to EVE. It's no good if you have a GM that loses interest in the game in the next 6 months. Someone who only played a year might be the best expert of the game, but you can't be sure how long he will still be playing. People who have played for 3 years already are more sure to stay even longer, for obvious reasons, and this commitment is what they might seek aside from actual game knowledge.
Nicholai Pestot Gallente Havoc Inc	Posted - 2006.08.29 06:54:00 - [59] Well, I have 'only' been playing Eve for around two years, but have been working in an IT customer support job with an automated system that (from my in game view of the client side) appears similar to that used by CCP. Im just wondering, if the intern was kept on, how much would the position pay? Is it actually competative with similar jobs in the IT industry or is CCP hoping to sucker in some low-paid fan-boys? Im only asking because support jobs can be soul destroying and unless you can provide unlimited beer, boobies,titan sized cigars and massages from oveur while wearing 'that' wig your staff retention rate may be a bit low ________________ What you do is you store up the rage, let it fester while you gain strength, then use it to gank those weaker than you... and so the circle of life is complete

So yeah, more aimed at students post uni me thinks. If only I graduated this year and not 4 years ago hehe GL anyway

31i73 BGG Freelancer Alliance	Posted - 2006.08.29 07:18:00 - [61] If I can talk my wife into moving to Iceland, does the pay cover for living in there? 600$ sounds pretty lousy to me especially with dollar going down, but maybe Iceland is a cheap place?
Garia666 Amarr adeptus gattacus Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.08.29 07:22:00 - [62] Well i would be very intrested in applying to the job, I think i meet all the requirements for the job however i wont leave my safe live for that amounth of money. It sounds like an adventure and a dream come true but the money is not conform standards in anyway. Even tough you would add the ( shared ) living and food .

I working as developer and have often to help out with support in our company. Customer Support is frustriating some days (/very often).

I working as developer and have often to help out with support in our company. Customer Support is frustriating some days (/very often). CCP pays for your apartment, some meals etc and iirc you may get offered a full-time position after a while with a significant increased pay (and living standard?). So the $600 is just for some food and entertaiment while you are working for the intern program. EVE-Files \| EVE-Search \| Monitor this Thread

Irrilian Eve University	Posted - 2006.08.29 09:23:00 - [75] When you were living away from home at college, university, etc. how much were you typically spending on food a week? Im just trying to get an impression of how expensive it might be to live in Reykjavfk, whether the stipend would cover living costs. Is it going to be ramen all but two nights a week, or if you can live modestly but comfortably on the stipend.

Originally by: MOOstradamus Q: If this position is only open to EU member states then why quote the salary/living expense allowance in Dollars and not more appropriately in Euros or ISK? Dollars are what was given to me for the announcement and I believe what the Acounting staff is going to use for pay purposes. Subject to exchange rate fluctuations, that amounts to ~470Ç or ~42.2k ISK per month. 42.2 isk wtf and i thought i was bad making $600 to ú300 but 42isk god no wounder you where looking at moving out of ice land. ----------------------------------------------
The Slayer Caldari Millennium E.R.A	Posted - 2006.08.29 10:35:00 - [83] Thing you guys are forgetting is that the $600 "salary" isnt the salary at all. To get your actual salary you would have to factor in the cost of accomodation and meals that CCP are providing for you as well. The $600 is for "living expenses" (beer & pizza). __________________________________ Your Dual 250mm Prototype I Gauss Gun perfectly strikes Estamel Tharchon, wrecking for 187.6 damage.

You have to remember that this isnt a job, its an internship, work experience, an industrial placement or whatever you want to call it. You get fed and watered in return for an opportunity to get some experience and a potential foot in the door with CCP for a real contract later on.

Eris Discordia	Posted - 2006.08.29 10:51:00 - [86] For the people who are shocked to see the salary, keep in mind that you dont need to pay for rent or for much food. ( the lunches are really filling and healty) Just be careful of utsala (sale) in stores when you walk around Reykjavik and you¦ll be fine. Although I did buy some nice boots here. As I understand it the GM¦s share an appartment but everyone has their own room(ofcourse) and it¦s actually nice to come home and have some people around to talk to and watch tv together when you move to a new country. The current GM¦s do work shifts and sometimes one comes in when the other goes to work, honestly you shouldn¦t worry too much about annoying roommates. Best advice I can give you is: BRING WARM CLOTHES need to update my signature,imagine a pink dread in here with flowers It¦s either a CCP employee, a foreigner or a combination of both.

Magpie	Posted - 2006.08.29 10:58:00 - [87] That pay offer is truly dreadful. You would have to be very dedicated to EVE, or at a real dead end where you are now to even consider it. Personally I couldn't look someone in the eye if I was paying them that much for a full time job. I suppose in this industry there are queues of fanboys ready to be exploited.

Alexandra Claw	Posted - 2006.08.29 11:23:00 - [92] Hm ... if only I'd not have a job that pays about seven times what CCP pays for the internship (it prolly sucks seven times as much, compared even to working on Tranquillity ) CCP, if you're ever looking for an experienced sysadmin, send an eve-mail to my main (you know how to find it )
Uther Doull Shinra Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.08.29 11:33:00 - [93] the ppl complaining about the pay should read again and realize it's an internship... i did my intership in uni for 250 euro's a month for a 45 hour workweek... i imagine the pay after you become a full gm is a lot higher, but it prolly would still not live up to your expectations. i think it is safe to say it is aimed at students and young ppl in general

You expect people to leave the homeland imigrate to iceland to work at a new job. and then they have to get an extra job just to make a living ? It's a three or four month internship, it's not a career unless you are successful. That hardly counts as immigration. It only becomes a 'job' when/if the intern is successful, at which point I'm sure CCP will offer you more than $600/month to stay. And yes, in the real world interns always have second and/or third jobs unless they're partly supported by their parents or a trust fund. Let the offer be your guide: 20 years old + 3 years playing Eve + command of the English language + four month internship + free board and lodging + low pay = someone looking to embark on a career path. I can understand that people would want more money - it's human nature. But take this opportunity for what it is - I'm willing to bet that the applicants will get more out of the four months than CCP will. ----- Individuality is underrated

kieron	Posted - 2006.08.29 16:48:00 - [112] Please keep in mind that this is indeed an internship, the majority of your room and board are taken care of by CCP. The monthly stipend is to assist with personal living expenses, not, as someone posted, pay for a car or mortgage. After the internship period has been finished, each intern will be evaluated for permanent employment. If an intern is given a job offer, the offer will include a salary based upon the intern's performance, previous experience and other evaluation criterion. This salary is competitive with the MMOG industry standard. As I stated in the blog itself, the 3 year subscription requirement can be waived in certain circumstances. Previous GM or customer support experience, especially in a call center, will be taken into account when CVs are reviewed. If you are short a couple months, or played since beta (even if your original account lapsed), by all means, submit your information. We have plans for future internship offers, not only on the GM team, but QA and content as well. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

I have expenses that exceed that by x3, then you can add on my LIVING expenses. While it may appeal to some getting out of school, this isn't appealing to the older adults (you know the ones, with all the experience, patience and maturity...ok, experience then ☺) If eve was out about 25 years ago this offer would have been perfect for me.

Dunno about Europe, but in the US internships, even engineering ones aren't usually paid all that well. Of course, many internships are for University credit, many are unpaid, and even the ones that are paid, in general the pay isn't all that great. In engineering programs, a co-op program (essentially a full year internship, generally for a 3rd year student) is a common requirement. It isn't at my university, but its strongly recommended. I imagine working at CCP would be great judging from the attitude of the developers and other personnel we've seen on the forums and on EVETV. I'd apply, but I don't think anything CCP does would be that well suited to an ECE student. --- Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Emerson

Gavin Kineli Frontier Technologies	Posted - 2006.08.29 21:29:00 - [124] What about non-GM internships? I'd really love to work for CCP in some other intern capacity. I currently live in Redmond, WA, this summer I've been an intern for Nintendo, doing software/hardware engineering for them. I'm a junior at Digipen Institute of Technology, studying computer engineering. An internship at CCP would be an amazing experience, and I meet all your requirements except I don't live in the EU :) So what about other internships?

Oisin Wreckless Abandon	Posted - 2006.08.29 22:03:00 - [126] Live in the EU... yes 20 years or older... lol yes Speak, read and write fluent English... that's a matter of opinion ;) Willing to relocate to Iceland and co-habitate with 2 other interns... mkay Must not have any detrimental marks on your game account(s) or major warnings on your forum history... I suppose being hit with the "sig is too large" stick is ok? Eve subscription for 3 years... no Previous GM experience on a different title can waive some of the EVE experience time... score :D Customer service experience... yes, but I don't want to talk about it. I'd actually do the CCP thing if my wife, cats and bank manager would let me take the pay cut and relocate, or if I was still young enough not to have a wife and cats or a bank that owned my pay packet I'm not complaining, I know what an internship is about. I guess a lot of people don't have good enough English to know what "Intern" means. Think along the lines of apprentice, recruit, coffee maker, noob scout, person who gets all the interesting, educational, character-building jobs... the ones that nobody else wants ;) And character-building is NOT the same as char creation! Coincidentally, I was talking today to a friend who's trying to get paid work in a law firm before she starts the next stage of her training next year. Not easy. Good luck to whoever gets the positions - customer service is a test of character, to say the least. Wreckless Abandon is recruiting

Malthros Zenobia Caldari Independent Navy Reserve Kimotoro Directive	Posted - 2006.08.30 01:50:00 - [130] Originally by: Laendra Originally by: kieron Originally by: Malthros Zenobia What prevents someone from the US or other non-EU locations from answering petitions from their current location until that 60-day period passes? Due to security concerns CCP does not want the GM client or interface out of the office. Too much potential damage could be done with either to let both of them go off-site. Sounds like they need an office in the US then... My thoughts exactly.

Malthros Zenobia Caldari Independent Navy Reserve Kimotoro Directive	Posted - 2006.08.30 02:03:00 - [131] I'm loving the 'pay' complaints, it's a great way of weeding out those who 'want' to do it. Or it atleast points out those who only do selective reading.
Eralus	Posted - 2006.08.30 04:32:00 - [132] I lived in Germany for a year (I'm from the US) when I was in college - room and board paid for by the university;. I spent less than $600/month, and that included traveling around. This is an opportunity to 'pause your life' for 3-6 months - got a place to crash, with your own bedroom, money to feed yourself and buy beer. All you gotta do is answer petitions for 8 hours a day 5 days a week and you can spend the rest of the time at the bar picking up hot icelandic chicks who think it's sexy that you know english.

A3 û Yes, long as you have relevant experience in the Customer Support industry, or wither you have been a GM for an MMORPG game in the past. Q4 - $600 for working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? That rubbish! A4 û This is an Intern placement not a full paid job. You are employed to learn hence why you will not be paid a full salary.

There is the exception of Norway and Iceland that have signed the EES contract and have signed treaties with Sweden, Denmark and Finland (ie all nordic countries) about free travels for its citizens across the borders. It has been in effect a long time now and should mean that Norwegians could apply for the intern positions as well as EU citizens. If you live in any of those countries, a valid ID card is enough to travel freely and gain benefits from the countries public service you reside and work in. There is also regulations concerning tax and retirement funds between all those countries. You can read more about it on Nordisk eTax homepage if you're interested.

Ironstorm	Posted - 2006.08.30 20:44:00 - [147] Edited by: Ironstorm on 30/08/2006 20:50:16 well, for everyone who not got an wife or any commitments. who is young and already got enough from is native country this is indeed a dream, folks! for all those guys who have no clue what an "internship" means, apart from the fact that you already out of interest, because your english knowledge is simpel to lousy. intership means you practice and learn your work, each day. during the period which is written as 3 to 6 month. after that you might get an employeecontract, depends how good or worse you are and your income will or should increase. how much is a question ? which is important for my opinion. not really if the appartment got an internet connection, that is more or less really secondary. an other important question would be is the "might be" after internship employeecontract an open-end contract or an fixed-term contract ? apart of this few important questions it¦s always an question if you can live with the people, with whom you will spend all your worktime. just an proposal, use plz your brain before you start writting into an thread, which is really an interesting option for everyone who wanna do something complete new ! an good move into this directon would be for example that you try to get to the eve-fanfest and talk directly to the people, who ever really wants this internship, should first of all see if he likes the country, talk to the people for more details and than you can decide. greetz Ironstorm aka Tribune Maximus

Sivlan Amarr	Posted - 2006.08.31 21:40:00 - [172] I'm sorry, this is the worst job offer I've ever seen. $600 a month? Even with provided apartment that's a ridiculously small amount of compensation. I made more than double that as a freaking TA (which, by all accounts, is the next thing up from slave labour). I've been to Iceland, cost of living there is not that low to justify this. Especially considering the relocation requirement. You want "the best" (no, I don't qualify, I've just had a decent job before) you really oughta be prepared to offer decent incentive. The best can go anywhere, why in the world would they pick this? w/e I guess I just felt like ranting about something... ______ Sivlan

It can lead to a real job in 3-6 months if you are good. And you get to work in the industry you love. All i see is a good offer... yes ccp require you to relocate.. but they have always done that.. nothing new there. It's their policy.

I'd be totally in on it and I (almost) fulfill all the necessary requirements, but I'm in my last year of high school atm. Totally would've jumped on it otherwise. You better do it again! How does next May sound to you? ;)
Nelix Trist Caldari Nostromo Industries	Posted - 2006.08.31 23:28:00 - [176] Edited by: Nelix Trist on 31/08/2006 23:29:54 Originally by: Sivlan I'm sorry, this is the worst job offer I've ever seen. $600 a month? Even with provided apartment that's a ridiculously small amount of compensation. I made more than double that as a freaking TA (which, by all accounts, is the next thing up from slave labour). I've been to Iceland, cost of living there is not that low to justify this. Especially considering the relocation requirement. You want "the best" (no, I don't qualify, I've just had a decent job before) you really oughta be prepared to offer decent incentive. The best can go anywhere, why in the world would they pick this? w/e I guess I just felt like ranting about something... In response to this statement, I see your worry; in fact I see everyoneÆs worry. What you have to think of though, is that I doubt you will ever be given the chance up front, unless you have great skills, and or, a long background of Game Master experience. Until today, I myself wasnÆt sure on what $600 would equal to in Pounds Sterling, as I would have commitments that have to be paid for. YouÆre correct, it isnÆt much, but you have to look at this in the long term not short term. I worked as an apprentice computer technician for 2 years, only receiving on average to be about $495 a month. It was worth it. I got my job with the company I was working for. This is something many people have to think about, no stability for the long term. The only thing I can say to you, that is one of my own opinions, ôRisk vs Rewardö. The risk you take is nothing compared to the reward you would get if you were lucky enough to be offered a full time job. LetÆs break it down; Risks: 1: I leave my job for something that could only last 3-6 months. 2: I leave my home, possibly family, for something that could only last 3-6 months. 3: IÆm on a low income, not enough to save on, and I may have to come back home with nothing. It takes me 1 month, maybe more to find another job, how will I live? There the risks now look at the rewards. Rewards: 1: I get a change of environment, nice peaceful place where I can enjoy myself. 2: I will be working with some of the greatest people alive today. Not only are they the best at what they do, they have pride in what they do, which make it even more worth it. 3: You meet new people, make new friends. 4: You share a flat with 2 other people in the same position as you. Helping each other through there time spent at CCP, hoping to get something great at the end. 5: Nights outà Not only are the CCP employees great for there work. Throughout the community of Eve Online, they are known for there famous drinking habits. You will be able to join them for a few. 6: You get to work on Eve Online, wither it be as a Game Master or another part of the game. This itself is worth it alone. So as you can see by just some examples off the top of my head, this is an opportunity that should not be missed. Once again I hope this helps a few people realize what there either, missing out on, or getting themselves into.

Malthros Zenobia Caldari Independent Navy Reserve Kimotoro Directive	Posted - 2006.08.31 23:46:00 - [178] I don't see why people are complaining. CCP's not going to suddenly up the pay when they seem to have plenty of people who want the job more than extra spending money. Something like this isn't for everyone. If I only got $600 a month, that'd go almost entirely to pay my monthly bill for my student loans. I'd still do it.

Im entrusted to provide accurate valuations for hundreds of millions of savings for many people, my company administers. If I break that trust through imcompetence, I lose my job and my income (when they realise Im crap). If I try to steal all the money from those various funds, I become an outlaw (eventually when the auditors would see the missing cash) and then my own freedoms are curbed forever more. These consequences are very real, if i steal 700 billion isk from people in eve, the worst i would have to look forward to is the odd war dec (oh noes) so here are very few reasons why i shouldnt :) the 'qualities' we show ingame are not a reflection on real life, people behave very differently in the two realms. So to judge someone on how they are ingame is no measure of how they are outside.

I know the people are amazing and the job is great, but what I would like to know is, what is it really like to live out there? For example, weather, food, language barriers and that kind of thing. I mean, this is a once in a life time chance and anyone silly enough to pass this up (if they meet the requirements) would be making a very big mistake, but thatÆs just my view. I was just hoping these could be answered, by anyone really who lives in Iceland. Thanks again.

The food is good but expensive if you eat out, if you buy and cook yourself you'll be fine...or you can eat at CCP and save your pennies. The language barrier well there isnt one really...people will talk to you in icelandic and if you dont understand they'll switch to english and you'll find everyone talks good english. But there are icelandic language courses starting soon . As for travel arrangements its really easy to get about although a little confusing at times, I live about a 20 minute walk from the CCP offices and there are plenty of buses about. And its definantly not required for interns to hold driving licenses...I cant drive and Im here . But on the whole theres nothing to really worry about when it comes to living over here...well I havent come across anything just yet. So apply and see what happens .

Looking at the price of beer and fuel in Iceland, you'd be lucky if you could afford enough gas to drive to the shop on the corner and pick up enough to get wasted from the money offered...

Plus of course the yoghurts which fed the EVE TV team for so long. Shifts are 8 to 9 hours (9 hours being nightshifts). Interns get all kinds of shifts, and if you are lucky enough to land on a nightshift I will be there to whoop your ass at foozball during the breaks. Regards, GM Eldini

GM Spiral	Posted - 2006.09.08 21:39:00 - [234] Originally by: The Slayer What would the main duties of the GM's be, is it mostly answering petitions? Ive been sitting in help answering questions in case that is required, trying to get a feel of what to say and stuff. When there are petitions to be answered they take all priority (and boy, we have more than enough...). We also write most of the knowledge base articles along with a handful of other things. Occasionally a dev will come to us regarding a question on some esoteric piece of gameplay (GMs, along with QA have probably the most contact with customers and most game time). But with the petition queues being like they are we are almost only answering them at the moment. For those interested in what the pay is like if you are hired full time, I can't give specific numbers but I can give you an example. With the pay I get I manage to keep head above water month to month. I have a wife that only works part time and an 18 month old daughter. On top of that I have bank loans to pay off. Someone settling in with a better deck of cards than I have would have it reasonably good.

There is the exception of Norway and Iceland that has signed the EES treaty and has signed treaties with Sweden, Denmark and Finland (ie all nordic countries) about free travels for its citizens across the borders. It has been in effect a long time now and should mean that Norwegians could apply for the intern positions as well as EU citizens. Oki.

I only have an active EVE subscription for almost a year, but i've known about EVE before the Beta started, wich i have played. Have 2+ years working experience in customer support (e-mail and phone) I have been jaded about the possibilities of EVE, ever since i have read a Dev interview where someone stated EVE would be based heavilly on the old hit ELITE :) I live in the European Union (Portugal), and ready to move anywhere in the EU, i actually think CCP needs somene with a real natural tan around :) I am 29 years old. I speak, read and write fluent English. Willing to relocate to Iceland and co-habitate with 2 other interns I do not have any detrimental marks on my game account(s) or any kind of warnings on my forum history. Hope to get picked as this would be a fantastic time in my life to change the scenery. already thinking about packing... Ready to go to Iceland tomorrow.

Putting one's life on hold about a chance at employment is rather silly. You should rather be in a position where you could drop everything you had planned for a change of plans, as would be the case where CCP might only let those accepted have any clue as to what's going on.
