PSA: CCP Games Aims To Help Nepal With PLEX For GOOD Campaign

Following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on April 25, Nepal and the surrounding region was absolutely devastated. The death toll was upwards of 6,000 people, with millions of people still needing assistance. CCP Games, the studio behind Eve Online, took notice of the approximately 8 million people affected by the disaster and has decided to launch a new PLEX for GOOD campaign to assist those impacted.

CCP Games says that its community flooded its support ticket system, as well as its social media sites, to request that it launch a new PLEX for GOOD initiative to support Nepal. Previously, PLEX for GOOD has provided assistance to disaster-stricken areas of Japan, Haiti, Pakistan, the United States, and the Philippines. In the most recent PLEX for GOOD campaign, CCP Games raised $190,890 for the Philippines in November 2013.

Channels to donate PLEX have opened for this initiative, with the campaign starting this past Friday and running through May 15. Every time a player donates PLEX (an in-game item that grants Eve Online game time), CCP Games will donate $15 to the Icelandic Red Cross to assist with its relief efforts. In order to donate, players are asked to contract one or more PLEX to a "CCP PLEX for GOOD" character with a 14-day item exchange contract. To thank players, CCP Games will gift PLEX donors with the Sisters of EVE Food Relief "'Humanitarian' T-shirt YC117" in both male and female.
