Bumping is fine, Ganking is fine.
The real issue are Carebears. Bad people wishing ill and death upon on all of us.
The obvious solution is to wipe them out and make sure they don't come back.
Let's kill them all for the good of EVEmanity.

My situation really doesn't compare to a lot of people who are stuck here and in much worse condition.. I was only in danger of suffocation and some dehydration. After I was pulled out, I couldn't locate most of the people I know in the city, it's very hard to understand what's happened to them. I'm lucky.. my brother located me and I am travelling to get medical help in India.. the situation in Kath is very grave with many people injured and very little space to keep them warm or safe. From what I understand many rescue groups are coming in to help.
The earthquake was near equal in magnitude to the 7.9 that hit San Francisco in 1906, which is regarded as one of the worst natural disasters in the US. Both earthquakes have claimed upwards of 3,000 lives. The Nepali quake was at a very shallow depth (10-11 miles I believe), so the devastation is very widespread. There are people in India as far down as Kolkata who have fissures down their walls and foundations from the aftershocks alone.
I think we spend money on a lot of things, and if you can give even a little bit to Red Cross, or to CCP if they open up PLEX For Good, then I think it would be a good thing.
This doesn't lessen the pain and suffering of humans and non humans anywhere else in the world.. and there is a lot of suffering the world over.. but something really horrible happened in Nepal Saturday morning, and every little bit of help would go a long way.
I'm really glad to hear that you're doing well, I've been trading a few EVEmails with a couple of concerned players who were worried about you when they couldn't get in touch. Good to hear you're okay.
<3
On a more general note, I've spoken with people internally at CCP today, and the general consensus on this is basically "**** yeah, let's do this!"
I have a few things to straighten out with our new CFO tomorrow as this is the first time he's dealt with PLEX for GOOD, but there should be more details over the course of the next couple of days once things are squared away.

Thanks for the update Mr. Falcon. <3
I hope you know how much we love you, the devs.
PLEX for Good is letting us use your server time and your electricity to earn game ISKies that you convert to RL money to help people in real, actual trouble. When you explain it to somebody who doesn't know anything about MMOs or spreadsheets in space, they have this moment when they look back at you like their mind is blown.

PLEX for Good is just one of the things that this community does, when the stuff hits the fan the community pulls together and sets out to do some good for its own sake.
Love this game.

Just a couple of things
a) I am glad that our Sibs made it through that experience and I hope everybody else in our little community is OK b) here's another link to help out. I've been a contributor for years and these guys never cease to amaze me with their abbility to move into emergencies in the blink of an eye; they have a permanent project in Bihar, India, wich was reinforced after the floods earlier this month, and some of the teams there moved into Nepal right after the earthquake.

For some reason the thread about the extended downtime is still open as well ... ... and CCP Falcon never updated it either.
Reported it ... still there.
That threw me a bit off. I'm pretty off the last days anyway ... ... but it's finally getting better. ^_^

I understand that as a green light - Otherwise I will of cause return all items (or keep for next PLEX for GOOD event per senders request).
I really want to avoid being "literally removed from existence in EVE Online"

I already have a few ideas in the works, on how to raise some ISK - more to come soon. If you got an idea, you are also welcome to contact me if I can be of help.

How do I go about doing so?

From https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/PLEX_for_GOOD
Quote:To cut the story short, you buy a PLEX via account management or the ingame market, or use one that you have been holding, and then you make a contract and assign it to the player "CCP PLEX For GOOD". This player is controlled by CCP, and all PLEX assigned to this player through contracts will be converted into real money and sent to charity.
I would just wait for Mr. Falcon's Dev Blog for instructions..

It's best to wait until a drive officially opens before donating anything to the character listed on the PLEX for GOOD wiki page.
Right now I have everything drafted, however in the EU a company can't simply donate to charity. We need to have a formal agreement in place with them, which our legal guys are working on.
Hoping that we'll be ready to kick everything off over the next couple of days
Sorry for the delay!

Thanks for your update Mr. Falcon. Looking forward to this being available as an option, thanks to CCP.
We are all internet savvy here in EVE and find the latest and greatest news, so I won't get overly solicitous.
The death count in Nepal is estimated in the 5,000 range. The long term estimate may be double that since they are still pulling people out as well the difficulty in reaching some affected areas (the map shows a distribution of destruction from a study reported on by NYTimes).
Some of the concerns are that some of the hardest hit areas are inaccessible by ground vehicles, due to the destruction of the landscape as well as lack of established roads into these communities. There is a lack of consumable water, so people are making do with other sources like swimming pools and such. With the monsoon season oncoming, this could quickly turn into a disease control situation. Today we heard food trucks for relief are being raided.. the earthquake has been destabilizing and many are taking advantage.
Anyway, maybe this was just my transparent attempt at bringing this topic up to the topic. <3
