EVE Online: CCP Devs Reach Mount Kilimanjaro Summit

The developers at CCP are a real varied bunch, and this latest feat coming from the folks at the Iceland developer has us really in awe. Three developers from CCP Games (and one buddy!) managed to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro on March 1st, and they didn't forget to bring their CCP banner when they got there!

The news was posted on the official EVE Online Facebook page along with the following description:

On the 1st of March at 6:30am, three members from the CCP Reykjavik office (and one trusted comrade) arrived at the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania following a gruelling 6 day hike through jungle, heathland and alpine desert. Pictured left to right: Sveinn Sveinsson, CCP Solomon, CCP Diagoras and CCP Punkturis proudly hold the CCP flag at Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa, some 5895 meters above sea level.

All I have to say is, "Wow!" Congratulations on the tremendous accomplishment!

[Thanks Christopher8 for the tip!]

    Who cares about the lag in EVE, just have fun.
