CCP announce plex for good charity live stream

November 26, 2013

Some of you might remember a article i did a week ago regarding the plex for good scheme CCP was running to support the victims of the Philippines typhoon disaster. Many eve players across new Eden have rallied together to support those who desperately need their help the and so far in only one week of this scheme being up Eve players have managed to raise a whopping $43,000. In that article i mentioned the fact that CCP would be doing a special announcement on the 27th of November regarding something they were going to do to encourage players to donate, well christmas has arrived early, and CCP Santa did not disappoint. (Please note CCP Santa is not an actual employee of CCP.)

This afternoon at 5PM GMT CCP Bro announced that on the 7th of December at 13:00 UTC CCP will be doing a 8 hour livestream featuring many of our favourite employees from CCP. The Stream will be held on CCP’s stream channel http://twitch.tv/ccp.

What will they do in those 8 hours you ask? Currently CCP have released a few of the activities they plan on doing:
– A play-through of the Danger game
– Some small developer roams
– DUST 514 matches between the Developers
– A sampling of icelandic cuisine (fish pretty much)
– Developer duels which can be best explained through the following screenshot:

What are the incentives to donate other then to thank CCP for spending time out of their busy days to do this stream you ask?
Well in addition to the 2 in game shirts you get from donating, CCP will be offering pledge goals which when hit will cause various CCP employees to do comical things in real life, such as:

For every $2,000 donated CCP Dolan will be shot with 1 paintball.
If CCP reach $50,000:
– CCP Lebowski will get the Minmatar logo tattooed on his calf.
– GM Spider will get the Amarr logo tattooed on his body.
– CCP Dolan will have the number 50 waxed on his chest.
If CCP reach $55,000, CCP Gargant will shave his head.
If CCP reach S60,000, CCP Guard will spar against an Icelandic Tae Kwon Do medalist. (my personal favourite)
If CCP reach $75,000, GM CiD will get the Wreckage sleeve tattoo from EVE Online tattooed on his arm.
If CCP reach $125,000, CCP Mimic will shave her head.
More pledges are set to be announced when the live stream goes live.

What if you have rare items in game or alot of isk but not alot of plex/real world money, can you still help?
Yes you can! Players across New Eden have begun putting up their own donation schemes such as one player’s Malice (an extremely rare Alliance tournament ship) up for auction, all the isk will then be turned into plex which will then be donated. This Auction ends 5th december though which only gives you a couple of days to place a bid for this limited edition ship.
