CCP unveil monument to EVE Online players in Reykavik - Polidicks

[quote=The Escapist] Located in downtown Reykjavik, the monument was designed by sculptor Sigurour Guomundsson and features a base engraved with the name of every single active EVE Online subscriber who joined the game prior to March 1st. It also includes the names of players who have died in real life since the game's launch. The unveiling of the EVE monument was, of course, intentionally timed to coincide with the beginning of 2014's EVE Fanfest which begins May 1st and runs until Saturday, May 3rd. With thousands of the game's players flowing into the Reykjavik, we can only imagine the monument will be a source of attention as fans flock to spot their names among the multitudes included on the sculpture. We only hope, of course, that all these players competing to find themselves on the sculpture doesn't devolve into violence. We normally wouldn't worry but it wouldn't be the first time a gathering of opposed EVE players had ended in destruction [URL="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/134141-EVE-Online-Player-Monument-Unveiled-Today"]Source[/URL] [/quote] [quote=Joystiq] This morning in Reykjavik, Iceland, near the CCP headquarters, the studio behind EVE Online, DUST 514, and EVE Valkyrie officially unveiled the EVE Universe Monument first announced last February. The monument includes the inscribed names of primary characters created before March 1st, 2014, with a special mention for those whose players have passed away. Beneath the monument is buried a time capsule with videos and messages from denizens of New Eden. To help EVE capsuleers find themselves on the monument, CCP has set up an online tool called the Name Finder. It's still technically in beta, but we've been able to find our characters!

Definitely something I'm going to see when I'm in Iceland later in the year. Should be fuckin' awesome to see my name up there.

For a second i thought the people in the second to last picture were praying

[QUOTE=X6ZioN6X;44692210]For a second i thought the people in the second to last picture were praying[/QUOTE] Why wouldn't you pray to the statue?

Neato. The online tool lists my characters name. I really should of put my real name so I can be remembered forever :(

Character name 'Krazynikomo' was found on plate row 8 and column 21. Line number is 10. I'm on a monument, fuck yeah.

I haven't played in ages, wonder if my name is there too.

Got my name here pretty cool. [thumb]http://web.ccpgamescdn.com/eve_com/monument/plate_3_13.jpg[/thumb]

Someone in the future is going to look at this shit and be confused

i was going to re subscribe to eve to get on this, but i forgot, fuck

ofc the first name i zoom in on his durrhurrdurr, reddit's ultraretarded fc [editline]1st May 2014[/editline] now i wish i had resubbed when this was going on :(

[QUOTE=nikomo;44692441]The highlighting on the website is done in your browser - you just linked the image of the plate where your name is, but it's not highlighted in any way.[/QUOTE] I didn't actually try to include my name

Not my name, but this was [i]the very first name I noticed[/i] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Worf-Son-of-Mogh.jpg[/img] It's "Worf Mogh," not the 420. Qa'pla! [img]http://tng.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/publicity/season1/worf_s1.jpg[/img]

It's so weird seeing a giant memorial with names like "sPACERX420" on it

[quote]Character name 'DurrHurrDurr' was found on plate row 9 and column 20. Line number is 42. [/quote] FC of my heart o7. Shame i forgot to shell out £10 to get my name on it.

i would've preferred an eta on either dust514 coming to PC or about Valkyrie

so its just like eve covered with nerds and takes itself far to seriously

[QUOTE=NoDachi;44692860]so its just like eve covered with nerds and takes itself far to seriously[/QUOTE] But you gotta admit, it´s a pretty good game.

Vile rat is on there too [editline]1st May 2014[/editline] [url]http://eve.com/monument/name-finder/[/url]

[QUOTE=Niklas;44692926]Vile rat is on there too [editline]1st May 2014[/editline] [url]http://eve.com/monument/name-finder/[/url][/QUOTE] Never forget :(

[QUOTE=NoDachi;44692898]yes im logged in right now dealing with my ton of internet market orders[/QUOTE] Because managing market orders is the only activity in EVE online.
