this was a gift to the community for supporting 11 years of eve online. ccp paid for it but it belongs to those eve players. defacing it was not an attack on ccp but an attack on the players. if you are condoning this then maybe you are more of an ass than i thought you were

Yes, I will happily attack those dumb fucks who empowered the company who both lied and cheated me out of money.

To every EvE guy who unsubscribed after fanfest - I SALUTE YOU. o7 o7 o7 o7 o7 o7 o7 o7

My guess it was "well, Jimmy had the idea but he wasn't there" (6 month ban OR he was the whistle blower) "but Franky, Vinny, and Tommy were all there when Franky was scratching it."

Bro, you should have been getting negative waves from me since Fanfest.

I am not happy with anyone who supports CCP in front of me.

I SUPPORT CCP IN FRONT OF SOTA

You've been here for how long and you still don't matter?

Your opinion is on the same level.

while i dont condone vandalism.. im surprised it wasnt a bunch of dust players that did it

Well someone was a dust player as he got permabanned (is this the first permaban in Dust514?)

What does that statue even look like?

Cerbral Wolf JR got a perma ban back in the day, though I'm sure he has alts in every corp by now.

You never know. Some of us are gluttons for punishment and will support CCP through this matter.

I'm a Detroit Lions fan... we can take some serious emotional abuse.

My EVE name is probably on there and i feel insulted. So i think each one of them should atleast offer a formal apology to the community.

The sticker was harmless fun but the name scratching was too much.

I'm just never going to iceland.

The people there are nothing but thieves and liars. Won't make it 10 feet off the plane before someone tries to mug me.

Sota shut up

what they did was not an attack on ccp or a bit of fun it was designed to grief a player in real life

I am a EVE players (celebrated 11 years yesterday) and I have seen some really odd and some outright stupid decisions from CCP over the years, but I continue to support CCP because they are one of a kind and I know few developers that want to interact with their community as much as CCP do.

Yeah, except they didn't scratch out the player's RL name--it was one of his/her toons'.

Do you think their ban includes the removal of their toons' name from the statue? That would be hilarious.

Please tell me you're just kidding when you say that.

If you bother to look up any statistics at all about Iceland on Google, you will see that the island nation of no more 500,000 residents is actually one of, if not THE, safest place in the world as their crime rate is at an all time low compared to the rest of the world. The income gap between all three classes (wealthy, middle class, and poor) is so low that you can barely tell them apart. In fact, wealthy people in Iceland seem to send their kids to the same schools as that of middle-class and poor kids. The atmosphere as a result is generally calm, warm welcoming, and overall laid back with beautiful scenery, great food, and unique culture.

One more thing.

During the 2007-2008 global economic recession while many other nations like the US, Canada, and parts of the EU have bailed out their banks, Iceland in the meantime threw all of their guilty bankers and executives into jail (literally). Their nation suffered economically but it also recovered faster than all the nations who didn't jail their bankers and execs.

Real or Toon name, it doesn't matter. That monument is public property belonging to the city which just so happen to be privately funded. It's no different than any other monument out there. Those players are damn lucky that CCP didn't throw them to the local authorities which potentially could've resulted in jail time. If Iceland is not afraid to throw their bankers to jail, then they wouldn't be afraid to throw in a bunch of kids behind bars either.

Mmm, Icelandic food....

I'll pass.
