The EVE Online dev blog has been updated with a humanitarian post and a way for players to help the victims of last week's catastrophic earthquake and tsunami in Japan. From now through March 31st, players can contract their Plex to the "CCP Plex for Good" NPC. Players are urged to ensure that the character is in the C C P corporation (with spaces) to avoid any scams.
Beginning March 14, 2011 and ending March 31, 2011 at 23:59 UTC, CCP will be accepting PLEX donations for PLEX for Good: Japan. Each donation will be converted into cash currency and donated to the Red Cross.
To make your PLEX donation:
- Contract your PLEX to the "CCP PLEX for Good" character, and please make sure the character is in the "C C P" corporation and that the name is spelled correctly to avoid scams.
- Contracts will be accepted within 24 hours of submission, though usually sooner than that.
CCP regards any scamming attempts surrounding this effort to be morally reprehensible and they will be met with swiftest action.
