Many of you may or may not know about the tragic events today. The Notre Dame Chapel caught fire. There is much damage done including the loss of the steeple and roof. But the more important damage is to the spirits of those who visit, worship, or reside in Paris. There are already plans as the fire still burns to rebuild the Chapel from its ashes.
I would like to see Intrepid Studios have a limited time charity event to support the rebuilding of the Notre Dame Cathedral. I don't know the effects it may have on development or the resources it may take from development. I am also aware it is very early in the studio's life but i think this would be good for many reasons.
Firstly, the most obvious, the benefit it could provide to the reconstruction in Paris.
Secondly, the most obvious, gathering the community behind a cause is something i feel is well needed and beneficial.
Thirdly, an awesome cosmetic inspired by such an iconic structure hat would fit very well in the world of Verra.
Lastly, i think it may result in positive publicity for Intrepid and attract new eyes to their studio and show their passion is not limited just to MMOs.
I would love to hear more thoughts on the event from the community.

H8 me cuz u ain't me
I feel that with a freehold appearance the event will be memorialized within the game and serve as a reminder of the communities efforts. And whether or not someone buy's in support, or just for another cool appearance, it would support reconstruction. You can use a person's selfish desires to fund a selfless endeavor. Or you can be rewarded for your kindness with a small thank you. Regardless of the perspective i look at it i see this to be beneficial on all fronts.
I do believe they can afford the endeavor without help. However, it will be a very significant cost. Additionally it is still something i would hope to see people rally behind who would like to. Thank you for your thoughts!
your dang clever puns!
Come take a look at ashesofcreation.wiki!
I can agree with that. While still horrible for such a thing to happen to such an iconic building, its status does not put it above those in more need of help. I hope to see Intrepid do charity fundraising for future tragedies as well, or currently ongoing issues within the world.
can you share any specific violations? I'm interested.
For goodness sake they are a game company not a charity. If you want to help the world then do so, just don't drag us into it.
I hear Needletail is good for a few bucks

I think it's a tragedy a historical structure was burned. I don't think it's anywhere close to all the other atrocities that plague the world daily and likely deserve more attention.
If IS wants to honor this event, they should consider something more appropriate than a skin to populate their fantasy world where that particular god does not exist.
When I was in France we were told that the clergy were state employees, and most of the population was not religious. So maybe that might help calm down resentment toward helping the Catholic church.

Bess you, kind sir.
What I see as a result would be required extra work which wasn't planned in possibly causing further delays in monthly news/cosmetics/development. The community is already unhappy with the current delays increasing these further isn't a good trade in my view. People payed money for a product not to fund global help so I doubt it resonates well.
Though I do not agree with calling your proposal disgusting maybe it is better to be pursued by a different company.
I have no problem with helping people but it the fact that he wants a skin is what annoyed me. Maybe im just cynical but I find it in very bad taste
I didn't think you do nor do I intend to imply so. I just don't see selfishness as disgusting since it is something everyone has in them to a certain extent. Motivating good behaviour with selfishness is nothing new and worked before.
I had not thought of that. I myself don't follow any religion but i am still touched by the event. I hadn't considered that someone who not only doesn't subscribe to catholic beliefs, but has beliefs in a another religion, would be very upset.
