Visited Reykjavik last two weeks. For a company that tweeted "It's been an amazing 20 years thanks to you, the players who breathe life into our games." they sure do not care about the customers they honored with this monument, seeing its detoriating state.'

Really? Maybe on Greenland and Antarctica. Icecaps melting will actually raise the ocean levels by quite a lot, reducing coastlines everywhere.

minus the farmable space that gets lost to rising sea levels?
i'd be interested to see the math on that......

Ever have a glass of ice melt? What happened? It filled up with the same volume of water? Sort of. Ever freeze a bottle of water? Did the bottle expand a little?
All this "the sea levels are rising!!!! OMG TAX ALL THE THINGS" is BS. See even the "secular" types have an end time prophecy based on "punishments for sins" or something (the more things change....) except the more arcane types never asked to tax everything we do to stop it.
Meanwhile, in Middle America, we actually wish the sea levels would rise so the coastal cities would drown and we can be free of their votes.
As for the monument: It's perfectly representing the state of the game and the relationship between CCP and the player base at the moment. Everything is fine. (hurf blurf)

If I recall correctly, from the reports regarding the vandalizing of the monument, those plates are made of aluminum. They don't rust. But what we gain from not rusting from getting wet once (like a project car with the paint stripped off will practically rust overnight if the weather is humid) we get in long term corrosion. Aluminum corrodes way worse than metal rusts. It "explodes". Ever seen aluminum corrode when inside a laminate because salt water got into one crack? It's ugly. I worked as a marine mechanic for a while and have seen some horrid examples of boats.
Would have been better to engrave the names in steel plates, and then let it rust for a "Minmatar look". This aluminum in that salty environment won't last.

The tiles were of laser-engraved aluminum, then placed on the floor right by the sea. They don't oxidize*, they just corrode themselves to hell and that can be seen in the places more exposed to salty water (corners and edges).
*aluminum is always oxidized, covered with a thin layer of aluminum oxide. Unfortunately and unlike stainless steel, that layer doesn't prevents oxygen to penetrate further and turn the metal into more aluminum oxide i.e. corrode it. |

I'd agree with you, if all the ice on the world were floating. Unfortunately, quite a lot of it is over landmasses, so when it melts it will increase sea level because you're adding more water to the same bowl.
And middle America wants to teach creationism as science. Those of us on the coasts really don't give two fucks what you want - you've proven your inability to make a coherent decision. Repeatedly.

I live on a 50 year old sailboat (on salt water) and the stainless shrouds, chainplates, and pulpits are all still in pristine condition, no noticeable corrosion.

That figures, as Washington, DC, is on the East Coast. Have you noted the decisions coming out of there lately? Should the monument be placed there it would corrode to a gooey paste from all the phony tears being shed over all the phony issues designed to enrich all the phony blowhards who hail, actually, from all the states. Maybe we could construct the monument out of a different material, but is there an idiot proof material?

Rain6637 wrote:What would preserve the name plates? Stainless steel? Acrylic that can be buffed periodically? Ideally a monument is zero maintenance. That's why bronze plaques are made of bronze, for the corrosion resistance. Any kind of plastic or paint would need regular maintenance, even the best are vulnerable to UV and oxidation. In any setting I can think of, if there's a chance of corrosion you either galvanize, paint, or use stainless or bronze, but never aluminum. I suppose titanium also would have been a successful option.
For now though? It's doomed. imo, it was a dumb idea from the beginning. Probably not worth fixing. They got their marketing out of it, and I wouldn't be surprised if icelandic tax dollars helped pay for it. So... sucks to be icelandic?

And middle America wants to teach creationism as science. Those of us on the coasts really don't give two fucks what you want - you've proven your inability to make a coherent decision. Repeatedly.
Hows that multiple gender thing they are teaching on the coast working out?

One of CCP devs explained that in a short interview. There is even photo with monument.

Bronze or stainless steel would work. Bronze is the real deal, it is known to resist thousands of years, whereas stainless steel works fine unless it contacts rusty iron/steel, as that will cause spot rusting and if large enough can lead to corrosion.
The problem is cost, bronze is really expensive and engraving it is even more expensive, whereas laser engraving stainless steel is something that probably CCP couldn't find in Iceland.
Anyway we're talking the company that buried a laptop with a bunch of videos in a SSD as "time capsule" at that very monument.
Yes, you read that right, a SSD. |

I sense some blame on CCP. The way I imagine it went down is they paid a vendor who designed it. I doubt it was CCP who specified 2mm aluminum plating or whatever that is. I mean, I'm sure they thought they were paying for something that would last. They just cut the check.

If that is a head, I am really worried about artist. The monolith looks like nothing from EVE, only this mirror looks more like monolith in Dead End. From all those shapes that had to symbolize something, the monolith/mirror shape looks like is the most appealing and somewhat tied to New Eden, but it is boring shape, all of them are boring, no work was put into it overall.
Capsule on the other hand is very nice in shape and they could have put it with exhaust facing down. Bronze capsule would look very alien to anyone, but familiar at the same time to EVE players.

My annoyance at being unsubbed at the time names were chosen for the monument is now somewhat lessened by the fact you wouldn't see my name anyway.
Should have hired a corrosion engineer CCP, but it's still a cool gesture. Not many other games can claim to have a monument to their players, I imagine it's quite expensive for what it is.

Titanium would cost too much.
It's also right by the sea IIRC so that also did not help the whole thing
I really don't get the aluminum material choice either. The real + of Aluminium is usually the good strength to weight ratio. Having some family who work in a smelter, I also learned that it's not exactly rare for batches to contain iron among other things which limit the resistance to rust. |

The Eve Monument name plates are corroding ?
https://www.eveonline.com/monument/
Well, that's definitely sad news indeed.
To make it worse I located my name on the right side edge of a plate facing the Ocean, Row 2, Column 7, Line 14 (I actually counted 15 lines).
I guess in true Minmatar tradition my name has now turned into rust.

Just so happens that desert environments are amazing at preserving giant monuments.

Mr Epeen Icecaps melting would actually increase the area of farmable and liveable space. minus the farmable space that gets lost to rising sea levels? i'd be interested to see the math on that...... It's the same math that proves people lived with dinosaurs, the earth is 7,000 years old, and the moon landings were faked. Mr Epeen
ooooh, *THAT* kind of math. I can't quite wrap my head around it.

With my gallente Vision.. I can only interpret that the monument in question has freedom of expression and as such is free to express its best form.
As such It has rights and will be welcomed very well by our federation of freedom and open minds people |

Egyptians didn't build the Great Pyramids anyway. They were built by... ALIENS. You mean xenomorphs or predators?
.... and the ALIENS (include predators) known about the oceanic weather of island dont be the better point to anchor a Strategic beacon to warp ( or better known as "the Piramids" ) |

A proper monument would be looking like something out of the game - a pod, a ship's model or even a space structure. What CCP built there is a gravestone and it just assumes its final look. |
