[EVE] Credit Crunch

Slide · 10-09-2008, 11:15 AM

The UK government has frozen the assets of another Icelandic bank, and I just saw a soundbite from the PM on the BBC saying they were freezing the assets of Icelandic companies in general. I seem to recall CCP hosts the Western shard in London - can anyone remember anything about this?

From what I know, CCP actually turns a hefty profit. The game has a good number of subs and probably doesn't take a whole lot to maintain. Doubt they're in much trouble with credit, but you never know.

CCP has already stated that they arent at much risk in this situation.

My $15/month spent training skills that I'll never use while not taking up resources in game is an investment in Iceland. I am an international hero for not actually playing EVE.

At this point EVE's ISK are probably worth more than the icelandic krona.

And in future news, Iceland's economy was saved by EVE.

Yeah damn the UK for freezing assets when Iceland openly said they were not going to honour some of the previous agreements regarding dodgy banks!
