In December, CCP Games lost one of its own when CCP Blaze passed away suddenly. To honor his memory and to assist his fiancee and young daughter, CCP asked players to help out by purchasing a special Blaze Squadron Skin for 495 PLEX. The results of the memorial effort are in. Thanks to the generosity of EVE Online players, CCP will be sending $119,828.50 to Blaze's family on behalf of the community.
To put the numbers into perspective, this is the second largest CCP hosted fundraiser that the EVE Community has contributed to, eclipsing all but one of the PLEX for GOOD drives in just seven days.
It’s honestly not possible for us to find words that would accurately convey the gratitude we feel to our pilots.
Once again, the EVE Community has shown that despite differences in game, our pilots are a formidable, and indestructible force for good.
From all of us, to all of you, our most sincere thanks for your support.
Kudos to a tightly knit, loving community of players and developers.
