Ive just heard that Island is lying on the edge of a tectonic plate and that there is a lot of vulcanic activity. does this mean tht EvE no, not just EVE, the servers, no not just the servers, the whole CCP company, might be in danger? what if an huge earthquacke destroy CCP. how would we ever survive without EVE?? 
P.s. im sorry for wrong pronnouncement and spelling.

Right, melting of the polar caps sure can cause the sea to rise several meters... I am sure it will only rise about 50 cm or so. Thats about 2 feet for the ppl who are afraid to use SI-units. ---

Not really the best alternative anyway. 3 tectonic plates meet close to it. Google for Japan or Kobe earthquakes to see the results. /edit Just checked wikki for the Kobe earthquake 1995: Almost 6.500 casualties and $200 billion USD in damage

That's true but it has happened in the past. There was a documentary on TV a year or so ago that pointed out that most of Northern Europe (the industrial power house and also where some of our greatest architecture is located) is on top of a really deep seismic fault. Current thinking is that it's stable but recent research was beginning to challenge that. London has in the past suffered some severe quakes:This is why history lessons can matter -- (Battle hardened industrialist)

Yeah, Iceland (not Island ) is situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
and yes, Iceland is breaking in 2 and there is an ocean forming in between. But you are forgetting you will be a) dead or b) frozen c) drowned => all goes back to a) dead. For this to have a serious effect on Iceland, we'll have to wait about 1000 years, at least. And please, refrain from watching silly doomsday docu's. Thank you Disallowed sig graphic.

Iceland does indeed lie in an earthquake zone being atop the mid-atlantic ridge.. Most of the buildings in iceland are reinforced against earthquakes though, and since I have been here have not felt any tremors to date in Reykjavik.
However we are reasonably safe from big earthquakes as the boundary is a divergent one and not a convergent or transform plate boundry like in Japan or California which can cause much more intense earthquakes.
In short, we are safe here :)

I went snorkeling at Thingvellir with a few other CCPers and you basically snorkel between the two tectonic plates. It was pretty awesome. However, even though Iceland has both volcanoes and the potential for earthquakes, I think the chances of CCP being pulled into a rift is pretty minimal.

the polar ice cap floats so has already displaced it's mass and tehrefore when it melts will hardly effect sea levels.
ice on land is a different matter, such as greenland, northern russia and oh i dunno, large chunks of antartica.

This is a remarkably good point. I'm no scientist, but as far as I know, water is one of the few compounds that takes up less space in it's liquid state than when it is solid.
Britain is threatened by the dissolution of the gulf stream, but is there any reason to think that water levels will rise much? Or will they in fact sink?
Or will it just get cold?

Hmmm...
I'm beginning to wonder now.
If the sea ice melts, sea level will drop. If the land ice melts, sea level will rise...
So they will probably even out. We're in no big danger anyway, this happens every 250,000 years, doesn't it?
Anyway - never mind - no one can calculate it!
Or would someone like to try? That would be interesting...

This is a remarkably good point.
Britain is threatened by the dissolution of the gulf stream, but is there any reason to think that water levels will rise much? Or will they in fact sink?
Indeed a good point! It is one of the anomalies of water that it is most dense at 4 ŚC. Ice is less dense than water - that is why ice blocks swim on water and don't sink onto the bottom of the ocean.
Therefore melting iceblocks swimming in the water not only won't rise the waterlevel but acrually decrease it!
The rise of the global sealevel comes from the fact that ice not in the water (for example at greenland and at the south pole) is melting and even more important, that warmer water needs more space, so the heating up of the oceans increases the level already - ice or not.
Now to the rift. As aleady explained, the rift in iceland is part of the mid-atlantic ridge which can be found across the whole length of the atlantic ocean. It is expanding and that is a more or less harmless process, at least compared to those places where the tectonical plates are subduced like at the west coast of south america or at the whole southeast asia - this subducing results in explosive and dangerous vulcanos (Mt St. Helens in US or Pinatubo at the Phillipines as examples). The expanding rift creates a more or less continuous vulcanism with lots of lava but not with big and extremely dangerous explosions.
The conculusion: CCP can safely continue to work on their 200-year plan!!

Global warming is a theory not scientific fact like some people would have you believe, in fact i came across and old discovery from years and years ago with a huge article about global warming that discussed the theory in great detail and said people would not even be able to tell if it was fact or not until something like 2020 something or other when certain man made pollutants would reach detectable levels in the atmosphere.
Never mind that 20 some odd years ago scientists were running around screaming about global cooling and its dangers, so take all these alarmists after massive grants for research and pizza money with a grain of salt.
Heck i remember back in high school learning that the earth was still coming out of the last ice age, if that is the case you would expect the earth to warm some on its own.
Besides there are asteroids that could wipe out 98% of all life on earth in the blink of an eye and certainly take out the eve servers and iceland. There are massive solar flares that could fry all electronics, power systems, satellites, etc in one swoop and destroy eve. Never mind super massive tidal waves that can occur when coastal shelfs fall into the ocean, like california and other places around the world that will devestate costal areas, islands. across the globe and possibly hit iceland.
cheery stuff eh?

That does not work because only the SMALLER pole cap is a piece of ice. The LARGE HUGE one in south is a HUGE rock larger than north america and its covered in Kilometer depth Ice.

Certainly the land ice in Antarctica would have an impact on mean sea levels. But I thought, and I'm not sure on this, that the arctic ice cap is expected to be impacted more than the antarctic. When someone mentioned Al Gore talking about the Polar Ice Cap melting, I took the wording to mean the stuff up north. Perhaps "Polar Ice Cap" is also a technical term for what's down south, but I'd think suspect the scientific community wouldn't use the same term to refer to what's up north and down south. "Glaciated Continent" or summat. ----- TANSTAAFL

London rarely has earthquakes.
It is however prone to floods. Especially considering Mr. Al Gore tells us that in 7 years the north pole icecap will be gone and everyone on islands will drown :)
CCP, you have 7 years to move the servers or we will DIE! 
Please don't listen to Mr. Gore. We don't even listen to him here in the states especially since he "invented the internet".
Ooh - back on topic...I am sure the servers are in a nice safe place. As for CCP, they also have an office through White Wolf in Georgia, USA. ________________________

I know this is a bit off topic, but some that replied here brought up global warming - Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger has already come up with a great plan to defeat global warming - we just need to move the Earth a few inches further away from the sun.

Anyways if anything happens they are just gonna whine to the Danish gouverment and they will pay like they usually do.
It's like social service.
Hehe, you've got the wrong place mooching on us there. Iceland pos spammed us and gained Sovereignty in 1918 and (following having the better occupying force during ww2) became a republic in 1948.
The ones that cash welfare checks to build tunnels to villages with 20 inhabitants would be the Faroe Islands.

Originally by: CCP Eris Discordia I think there would be a fair warning for a major eruption and a lot of CCP is now made up out of foreigners so we can all fly back to our own country and maybe even demand our country to pick us up.
And then we ( Ok maybe just me) point and laugh at the Icelanders 
Snorkling between the plates was awesome but the pictures are horrible and dry suits are not sexy.

The only sensible choice for a geologically secure location for the server is Australia. Sydney, preferably, although I'm willing to accept a more remote location that has hundreds of kilometres of desert surrounding it for that secret hideaway look.
Not quite desert, of course. There'll be enough food to feed the ravening hordes of poisonous spiders, snakes, lizards and monotremes. That's so you know you're in Australia.
Then the rest of the world can have the high pings! \o/

Originally by: Anaalys Fluuterby During the last true Ice Age the level of the oceans were some 600 ft. above today's levels.....
I doubt the fact that the servers are flooded is going to make much impression compared to the rest of our problems if that happens....
Where in the world did you hear this? Because it's very wrong. You cannot have the bering land bridge in that case. That means a large portion of American biology would be impossible. I hate to use wiki here, but this article is quite good http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bering_land_bridge
regarding the 'ice in a cup thing': A lot(most) of the ice on the planet is not floating in water. It's on Greenland, Antarctica, tied up in glaciers and permafrost regions. Redo your little experiment with a rock in the glass that comes out of the water, with a bunch of ice cubes on it. ====

Al is grossly misinformed. Only about 10% of the ice in the Ice Caps are exposed, therefore very little water will return to the ocean and raise the levels. What we have to worry about is the land ice caps, but sea ice caps are no problem.

Originally by: Benilopax I was told by an engineer once about the building the EVE server is located. It is like an electronic fort Knox the whole of London could be destroyed by an atom bomb and the building would still be standing and all the electronics safe. Probably because 3 of the worlds major banks feed through the same building. 
Hmmm so now i know where this is Project Chaos can start as in 'FightClub'
so to free the masses from the economic might of the banks we must sacrifice the EVE servers
*sob* S'not fair

Originally by: CCP Atropos I went snorkeling at Thingvellir with a few other CCPers and you basically snorkel between the two tectonic plates. It was pretty awesome. However, even though Iceland has both volcanoes and the potential for earthquakes, I think the chances of CCP being pulled into a rift is pretty minimal. 
Im sad to inform you that you have been a victim of a tourist myth. You did not snorkel between two tectonic plates. They dont come together at thingvellir. ----- Ignorance is my strength. |

The list of things that could threaten eve is a long one. Check out http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm
Of course if any of these occur in the near future, the lack of eve will be low on your list of priorities or you'll be part of the extinction.

The melting of the North Pole has no effect on the sea water level , since there is no landmass below the North Pole. Or in other words the ice is allready in the water, your softdrink doesnt overflow either when the icecubes melt heh? - - -

there may not be any land under the north pole, but there does appear to be a big chunk of land under greenland, and the ice there is melting fast!

Global Warming is a natural process, just as global cooling is, the earth is still getting back to what it was before what ever caused the last ice age. Look at all the fossiles found from prehistoric times, how many were creatures built for extremely cold temps? Also another sign that the earth has been warming for a long time is things like ice burgs that have been around forever....just ask the people from the Titanic. But if you ask the peace pipe smokers like Ben & Jerry.....cow burps will be the destruction of us all!!

I propose we move the earth by making half the population jump at exactly the same time. Much more practical solution.
As for moving the servers to Denmark, it won't do. Drunk swedes will come and puke on them.
