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!

Reminded me of a recent VICE episode on the Haitian eathquake relief effort:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/haiti-what-happened-to-the-10-billion-in-u-s-aid-pledged-after-the-earthquake/5445016 and http://cepr.net/blogs/haiti-relief-and-reconstruction-watch/second-usaid-contractor-suspended-following-caracol-housing-debacle
Well worth watching the full episode: VICE season 3 episode 7 (aired April 24, 2015).
I hope the Nepal relief effort is more effective. |

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.
4 Plex gone, Hope Many can give up a few Starbucks and do the same.
Thank You, TO YOU FOR ALL. |

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'd pay 5 PLEX for that in the context of a charity drive.

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.

Link for this available via here or viewable via the Character Bazaar part of the forums. It appears Jita has quite a number of GTCs so thankfully so far this part doesn't seem to be an issue. |

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.

AXIOS. contributed in this awesome event.
We created a Nepal-Campaign and managed to gather enough valuables to spend it on 10 PLEX-¦es for Nepal. Thank you for contributing
Thanks CCP for giving us the opportunity to help those in needs. And also a big thanks to all the pilots that took part in this event and managed their own little isk-gathering or tournaments.
Again Thank You EVE-Community,
Spread the Love ;)
