Strom Starforge	Posted - 2009.01.25 02:55:00 - [1] I'm posting this because I'm curious how the folks at CCP are doing, given the turmoil in Iceland. I've read bits and pieces about the economic collapse there, and just read that the Prime Minister resigned due to the protests. Does CCP have contingency plans to keep the game running were the situation to deteriorate? Are the articles I'm reading over-exaggerating? (as in it's not really so bad over there)
Jason Edwards Internet Tough Guy	Posted - 2009.01.25 02:59:00 - [2] they have already said that they have assets worldwide and most of the infrastructure is outside of iceland. Most of the income also. Meaning... they could theoretically pack up... move to say London, UK and do their stuff there.
Abrazzar	Posted - 2009.01.25 03:02:00 - [3] This thread will be moved to th OOPE forum as it has nothing to do with EVE.
Mr Sugar	Posted - 2009.01.25 03:13:00 - [4] CCP game servers are generally located in London, England. Suits me fine. I live less than 100 miles from the CCP datacenter, and I never get one bit of lag. I don't know why so many people post about lag.

Khemul Zula Amarr Keisen Trade League	Posted - 2009.01.25 03:29:00 - [6] I doubt Iceland will turn into a horde of flesh eating zombies any time soon. But I'm pretty sure CCP does have a contingency plan in place for when/if that does happen. ------ I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Are the articles I'm reading over-exaggerating? (as in it's not really so bad over there) I wouldn't worry so much about iceland.. more about the UK and it's financial problems.. The speed in which banks there get 'governized' is breathtaking. How do you think, will these Servers work without power/service, when the financial system - the exchange-system fnr goods&services - goes offline? Forge '07 on Sale
EnslaverOfMinmatar	Posted - 2009.01.25 05:30:00 - [9] England should cut the cables to iceland so the servers keep running, but there won't be any nerfs uʍop ǝpısdn ǝɹnʇɐuƃıs ʎɯ ƃuıpɐǝɹ ǝɹɐ noʎ
D'wayne	Posted - 2009.01.25 18:45:00 - [10] I though Red Alliance bailed out Iceland?

Spurty Caldari Technologic Dance	Posted - 2009.01.25 18:46:00 - [11] Originally by: Khemul Zula I doubt Iceland will turn into a horde of flesh eating zombies any time soon. not after the clean up from the last time this happened.
Sagacious Z Minmatar Eve University	Posted - 2009.01.25 21:07:00 - [12] Originally by: Strom Starforge I'm posting this because I'm curious how the folks at CCP are doing, given the turmoil in Iceland. You should be far more concerned about the "turmoil in the United States" than the "turmoil in Iceland". The "turmoil in th USA" is far more severe. The politician scumbags in Washington find another bailout sham or "stimulus sham" every week, throwing taxpayer money down one black hole after another. If there were to be a worldwide depression, it will be caused by the United States, not Iceland, due to the USA's GDP impact on the rest of the world and the loss of confidence in the idiots in Washington after so much taxpayer waste. EVE and CCP will survive long after the ashes of the USA are swept up and thrown in the dumpster.
Kumq uat Gallente InQuest Ascension Skunk-Works	Posted - 2009.01.25 21:49:00 - [13] Iceland is a very safe place from zombies
Gilmour A Quest Millitia	Posted - 2009.01.25 21:55:00 - [14] CCP's customers come from all over the world. No big problem for them.
RedSplat Suddenly Ninjas	Posted - 2009.01.25 22:11:00 - [15] I heard its got so bad Devs are eyeing folks from Marketing with a look i their eye that can only be described as hungry.
flashfreaking LFC Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2009.01.25 22:22:00 - [16] The Devs currently barricaded their offices to protect themselves from the moneyless crowd outside, but it is uncertain if they will make tomorrow, who will tell
VicturusTeSaluto Metafarmers	Posted - 2009.01.25 22:43:00 - [17] CCP = the richest jerks in Iceland. They got all of their money in dollars or euros. They are probably taking over the country and establishing some manner of brutal dictatorship as we speak.

They are probably taking over the country and establishing some manner of brutal dictatorship as we speak. Word is the Republic of CCP allows scamming and somalian piracy. Citizens are encourage to self police or hide in high sec buildings.

RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!
Farrellus Cameron Sturmgrenadier Inc Skunk-Works	Posted - 2009.01.26 00:05:00 - [20] Iceland is preparing to nationalize CCP since it is the only Icelandic business currently making money right now. ----------------------------------------------------

Bands of black clad miscreants have been spotted stealing the lead from Churches and copper piping, the citizenry is advised to dock their cars lest they be towed and 'salvaged' without recourse. In other news the banking and finance sector has been effectively nerfed following discovery of a massive manipulation of the minerals markets, authorities have as yet to disclose the perpetrators. The decision to merge BoB and the Church of Scientology has met with mixed sucess. Not really a troll
Ocih Amarr	Posted - 2009.01.26 02:18:00 - [22] After global warming, Iceland will be a coral reef anyway. They are building a real Aeon to put the servers on as we speak.

You know, real shot in the dark here, but I'm going to guess you don't really like the United States much. You're going to have to accept that the situation in Iceland is worse than in the U.S., no matter how much you hate the latter. About half or more of Iceland is currently bankrupt. Unemployment and inflation are high. As bad as the U.S. economy is, it isn't and probably won't be nearly as bad as in Iceland.

Element 22 Gallente	Posted - 2009.01.26 09:22:00 - [28] Dear Devs, this is perfect for dealing with both those pesky Zombies (Including Omber Zombie too) and any Mad Max-esque gangs that try to hijack your beer deliveries.

AkRoYeR Amarr	Posted - 2009.01.26 10:52:00 - [30] Interesting how CCP never comments on these type of threads.
