In the wake of the devastating earthquakes that have rocked Nepal and the surrounding regions over the course of the last week, EVE players have once again banded together to request that a PLEX for GOOD drive is held to provide support for those in need of aid.
We're happy to announce that on the request of the EVE Community, PLEX for GOOD has returned to assist with relief efforts.
Please see this Dev Blog for further information.
For any questions regarding PLEX for GOOD, we have a FAQ on the EVElopedia too!
Please also keep an eye on this post for details of PLEX auctions in support of PLEX for GOOD, where we will be auctioning signed Limited Edition and standard hardcover copies of the Art of New Eden, as well as EVE: Source, EVE Posters and other goodies in the second week of the PLEX drive.
If there are any further questions, feel free to ask in this thread!

Just my own, personal opinion:
I find it most amazing that you can play a computer game for fun and then suddenly get the chance to help people at the other end of the world and potentially help them survive the next month - by just playing a game!
This is simply astonishing and I am proud that the EVE players make this happen.

Awsome.
But what are teh chances to get something else as symbolic gift as well. Maybe genolution implants, quafe zero or a shipskin something like that. To be honesst I would be donating even without any ingame reward, but it might recieve even more attention from more greedy players if there was more ingame reward for it. After all its just a T-shirt on a small picture few players pay attention to. A SKIN or implant does way better at letting the player now his money didn't just vanished.

-best regards serenit Interesting idea. To expand on it: Sell "For charity" Items in the Nex store. That is, items where "The proceeds will be donated to charity". For example, the humanitarian shirts would go for 1750 AUR each. Although, we should most likely avoid any items that give in-game advantage (implants, boosters).

A red cross ship skin would be kind of cool to have as an in game item. With proceeds going to this as well. Kind of like a year round donation drive, with select items being flagged as "donation" items, and then if PLEX for Good pops up again down the road, there would be a pool of money available to draw from as well/ |

this is another good idea and i'll most likely be donating again.
However i do need to ask a question regarding this times shirts.
Will they be HD, as in can you read the writing on them clearly when previewed or will they be just a recolour of the current ones and all blurry? |

Line an 'I gave blood' sticker from donor clinics. I like this idea. It would be a limited duration skin (probably) but a great idea.

Good thing! I'll be happy to participate as well as convert any pilots ISK into PLEX for those that does not, or cannot donate PLEX directly to CCP.
All pooled ISK will be going towards buying PLEX then handed over to CCP.
Please mark any transaction PLEX4GOOD so I can keep track of them.

Its a good cause ofcourse, I donated PLEX to the last PLEX for GOOD event, however, I forsee the price of PLEX on the market rise to super high heights (like surpassing the 1 billion isk per plex), not giving everyone the change to support this cause. I'm sure thats what CCP wants, cos they prefer 'paying with real money' capsuleers, but I'm sure there are people out there that cant afford Eve Online that way anymore.
I too support the 'AUR for GOOD'-cause. Giving a ship skin in return. Now that would boost MY interest instead of this crummy t-shirt ;) |

I wouldn't want to divert the "PLEX for GOOD" discussion into one that centers around "what's in it for me", since that mindset is the opposite of what charity and good will are about - but I do agree with a few of the other posters in that I think, especially after the debut of the SKIN system, it would be an interesting idea for CCP to explore creating a ship skin that would commemorate each PLEX for GOOD drive.
From my perspective, it's less about "creating isk value" for the items that PLEX donors receive, and more about visibility and memory - not just visibility in front of others, but in front each player in front of a screen playing EVE. Many of us clearly do enjoy the character appearance items whether they are paid, free, or event-based, but in EVE we spend far more time looking at ships (or menus) than we do at the character portraits attached to them.
Up until now, there wasn't much of an option, but with SKINs in place, I think it's an opportunity worth looking into. I know that I'd enjoy bailing out my corpmates on our T1 roams in a disaster-relief Augoror SKIN, and I'm willing to bet that I'm not alone! That sort of visual reminder of what the EVE community has accomplished together creates a memory, which in turn allows other memories to be built upon it.
Regardless, glad that you're running point on this again CCP. You can be assured that we will be very busy in J-space minting mone.... er... destroying hordes of malevolent sleepers up to the deadline to help with contributions.
No flying safe these next two weeks, let's set New Eden on fire, everyone. Those wrecks won't loot and salvage themselves.

I would offer that the key difference in this context is that the problems that Nigeria is facing, such as disease outbreaks, living conditions, and the violence and instability caused by Boko Haram all require long term, persistent aid and intervention.
There is a greater immediate urgency for relief funding in the case of Nepal, as is typical in the wake of natural disasters, because the types of aid required are time critical - people need food and water because their own resources are destroyed or inaccessible, temporary shelter until they can begin to rebuild, and medical supplies for injuries that are relatively mundane, but can still prove fatal if left untreated: broken bones, internal bleeding, wounds or even simple dehydration. In many places, if nothing else, Nepalis need help just digging other people out of piles of rubble.
Nepal has suffered a devastating blow and needs help getting back on its feet, so that its people can rebuild and regain some sense of normalcy. Nigeria needs partners willing to commit resources, expertise, and an indefinite amount of time towards rooting out deeply entrenched problems; ones that have no quick or simple resolution. Nobody here is saying that the needs of Nepal outweigh those of any other country, but those needs aren't always the same. |

Donated a PLEX for this program. Thank you, CCP guys, for your efforts.
It would really be nice to have a ship skin as a token of gratitude instead of t-shirt. Not because it has anything to do with the "buying" the skin. No. It's just that my character won't ever wear a t-shirt (amarr style and all that), but I would definitely fly a ship with a special skin. So a skin for interceptor, shuttle or a hauler would be nice to show to all people in New Eden.

As someone who pays for the game solely through ingame earnings, I'm really interested to know more about the economics of this charity drive. I mean, is my 'donation' really in name only - made by CCP on my behalf? Or, since there is a relationship between CCP's real economy and Eve's virtual one, have I actually contributed anything more than honest goodwill?
Regardless, I'd be hard pressed to afford to make such a donation out of my own pocket, so I'm glad that CCP has stepped up.

You all have my thanks and deepest respect.
Cholly. It's a bit more complicated and all parties are involved: you and CCP. I'll try to explain the best I can
CCP sells PLEX which are tokens for a service that they are obliged to provide. Mostly, it's about an obligation to allow someone access to play the game for 30 days. There are other uses for PLEX, but they make a small percentage of the overall PLEX consumption.
When a PLEX is bought through Account management page. CCP agreed to provide a service to some player for 30 days. It doesn't matter which player gets to actually use the service, so they have allowed PLEX trading in the in-game market. That doesn't change the fact that PLEX on the market has already been paid for by someone.
When PLEX for Good initiative is active, each PLEX which gets donated breaks CCP's obligation to provide any in-game service to any player. It's like returning a store voucher that never gets used. On the other hand, consumption of PLEX is measured and monitored on a regular basis. Since in-game economy in EVE is open and player driven, market will regulate itself by means of supply and demand. PLEX for good starts, PLEX prices jump temporarily, player see an opportunity to earn extra ISK by selling PLEX, supply increases, price levels itself. When supply increases, that directly means that CCP is selling more PLEX.
So, from a player's perspective: obligation to provide service for a PLEX is broken the moment you donate a PLEX, which means that whoever bought that PLEX for cash paid for something that never gets used by anyone (I know there's an appropriate word instead of "used", but can't remember it now... not a native English speaker).
On the other hand, CCP's part in this is big as well. Each transaction between a player and CCP has it's own fees, whether it's a bank transfer fee, credit card processing fee, payment service processing fee (like PayPal) or tax. So even when a PLEX is paid for and never converted to a provided service, CCP is contributing to your donation by agreeing to cover all those fees for a service that never gets provided. CCP may or may not get some kind of a tax relief because they donated to a charity, depending on the local laws.
Of course, CCP is not obligated to provide any charity service at all and they have every right to keep the money from the PLEX sales and do nothing. But, they choose to run PLEX for Good anyway, which is a very humane thing to do.
Overall, the whole community is participating in a PLEX for Good drive and everyone: players and CCP, is contributing. CCP's part in this may be bigger, but your contribution makes it happen without CCP loosing too much money. Besides, there are players, like me, who didn't buy PLEX of the market and bought it from CCP directly just to donate to the cause because it's easier and/or more convenient to donate to a good cause through CCP then through conventional means (if you can even imagine a situation where a local law requires you to pay a tax on charity donations, like it is the case in my country... and no, we don't have any tax rebate whatsoever.... that term simply does not exist here). |

Cholly.
What you have done is RMT'ed some of your in-game assets, and given the money from that RMT'ing to charity, via CCP approved means.
CCP probably roughly break even or make a small loss after their administrative costs related to the transaction. I could be wrong but I believe most PLEX are created from 2-for-USD35 transactions where CCP pays a fee of around 5% to a middleman that advertises the PLEX and processes the transaction. Let's assume that's right.
So CCP get about USD 16-16.5 per PLEX sold. They give USD 15 to Iceland's Red Cross for each PLEX surrendered and keep the difference to cover their costs. I would be *stunned* if the employee time that goes into PLEX for Good doesn't come to at least as much as that difference, maybe more (remember, they need lawyers to draft things up, etc, and they need to advertise again post-PLEX for Good to make up for sales effectively reversed in the charity drive).
It's a bit more obvious when someone donates a massive amount (e.g. the guy last PLEX for Good that gave a trillion ISK). Basically, he's RMT'ed a trillion ISK for about USD 17000, with the 'buyers' being people that have bought PLEX from CCP over the last few months at various times. CCP always control that USD 17000 and give it to the Icelandic Red Cross.
Shoot everyone. Let the Saviour sort it out.

It would be great if you guys ran a direct donation along with this. While I do think that players turning in game money into something they can donate, I personally think its a bit crazy to pay 20 bucks for a PLEX, send it to you, and you donate ONLY 15 of it to the cause. |

Same issue for UK players - if you have ISK and you convert to PLEX to donate - no problem.
But to buy PLEX for pounds to donate is crazy - two PLEX are 30 pounds - so 15 pounds per PLEX.
15 dollars is just under 10 pounds at today's rate. so roughly 2/3 of your money will actually go to charity.
Clearly better to donate the pounds directly. |

What about players that can't afford a 830mil+ PLEX? Is there a way they can contribute to this noble cause?
My Corp will be raising some ISK from our members that can't afford a Plex by themselves and try to buy as many PLEX as possible, but then those small Perks (the 2 T-Shirts) won't be enough to distribute among the participating members, or even gender appropriate as we have more male than female chars.
Is there a way to ask for enough T-Shirts from CCP so we can give at least 1 T-Shirt per participating member, for the right gender of each of our member chars?
Thanks CCP!

Again a cool way to help another. Not to offend any soul. In this day and age of the war on terror, and war of the bureaucrats fending off the unearned money they have. It amazes me no matter, religion or nationality, A game can bring forth kindness and humility. Everyone has different opinions, different believes. Yet one thing remains the ability to be human, and to show love.
I want to take a moment, to thank the many people who have helped me here, materially, verbally, emotionally, and best of all killing me and allowing me to learn. I don't play all the time and have been with game long time. I miss the RAT that taught me that no matter where your are in life, where you are today is where you are to be.
We here come from many corners, and circles of the world. May we all spread the love. Karma is the key to a happy life.

Just give directly to a charity of your choice that does relief efforts in Nepal.
CCP can't donate more than 15 per PLEX because a good number of PLEX are sold in discounted large bundles. I *think* (someone correct me if I am wrong) that 28 PLEX is usually USD 400, which is likely USD 385-390 once CCP incur bank fees on the transaction.

CCP Falcon wrote:[img]http://i.imgur.com/miUuNIV.png[/img] In the wake of the devastating earthquakes that have rocked Nepal and the surrounding regions over the course of the last week, EVE players have once again banded together to request that a PLEX for GOOD drive is held to provide support for those in need of aid. We're happy to announce that on the request of the EVE Community, PLEX for GOOD has returned to assist with relief efforts. Please see this Dev Blog for further information. For any questions regarding PLEX for GOOD, we have a FAQ on the EVElopedia too! Please also keep an eye on this post for details of PLEX auctions in support of PLEX for GOOD, where we will be auctioning signed Limited Edition and standard hardcover copies of the Art of New Eden, as well as EVE: Source, EVE Posters and other goodies in the second week of the PLEX drive. If there are any further questions, feel free to ask in this thread! - F
I really appreciate this being done! This is one of the fantastic things about CCP as a company, and its staff. It's really fantastic that folks can donate in-game money (essentially) for real money towards something where folks really need the help.
I've a friend in Nepal and in talking with them about what's going on there, the need is HUGE for relief and importantly, for rebuilding as in some areas, whole towns are just gone.
CCP Falcon, thanks again! |

I've got to say, I'm really impressed by what folks have been doing for the fundraising! You folks are inspiring! Thank you!
I went back and forth about announcing it here as I don't want this to be about me, but then I realized if it helps get the word out and gets people to think again about Nepal, then for those reasons this is worth it.
I'll admit, I'm a little nervous doing this as this character is, well 'me' you know? But after hearing what's going on in Nepal from a friend on the ground there, it just makes sense to help in any way possible and this thing CCP doing is just great! Virtual currency for real physical world good? Heck yes! It's the most valuable thing I can contribute through Eve right now and selling assets would be painfully slow as most are spread out around the Eve world.
I'll start the proper auction post later tonight when I get the rest of the details sorted (also have to be in a NPC corp and there's a list of items specific to auctions I need to read and follow- 1st time is a little daunting to be honest), but the plan -idea- is to auction this character off and the proceeds to go to the relief efforts.
I've heard quotes of 35-40 billion, so I'd like to start there, but with losing my main character and this going to a good cause I'm really hoping people might go a little further and they get something hopefully great from it as well.
If it's possible, I'd also like to ask CCP to do oversight on the funds to help folks know things went where they should - to buying GTCs and sending to the Plex for Good fund. So long as folks and etc don't raise the prices and etc of GTCs to a stupid level.
I've got a few friends saying this isn't a good idea, but call me stupid, I'd really need to do something to help and I'd like to try to make this happen before the deadline. So the sale would need to be done before the 23rd and GTCs sent to the appropriate CCP character listed in the info in this thread.
I wanted to do this earlier but if there was a time for everything to go wrong it seems to happen now (between pc issues and being away on the weekend when the Earthquake hit).
Like I said, if anyone wants to help make this happen and help this go smoothly let me know. Send me a mail in-game (or if you prefer to my other character 'Mr Coffee'). I'll post the auction in the appropriate auction thread later when the character has met the prerequisites to be auctioned.
Again, this isn't about me, if there was a way to do this without me having to post I'd be thrilled, but those folks in Nepal need help and if this helps them even a little bit then I'd be ecstatic.
Deadline for donations:
Quote: DUE TO A SECOND EARTHQUAKE THIS MORNING, WHICH REGISTERED AT 7.3, PLEX FOR GOOD HAS BEEN EXTENTED BY ONE WEEK, AND WILL CONCLUDE AT 23:59:59 UTC ON SUNDAY, MAY 24TH 2015.

Hold on now people, don't you see what CCP is doing? A plex cost about $20 (as taken from the plex store) and when you give one back, they'll donate $15. So that $5 they're essentially saving for themselves. In other words, they're using the earthquake in Nepal as a sort of cash cow. It's not like they're doing this out of the goodness of their hearts or anything... |

That is 15 dollars which goes to help Nepal that might not have otherwise. In the senario listed above in your post, CCP is still giving 3x what they are making, so while I agree with you I also think that if that 15 per could help someone in Nepal, then it's worth it even if I wouldn't necessarily do the same thing as CCP myself. |

No. The plex is valued based on the volume orders and sale prices. While some plexes bought individually or in smaller bundles do cost more, CCP has to value on the lowest sell prices or risk losing money. I bought some when they were on sale last year and paid 14.95/ea.
