EVE Online virtual spaceship sale nets $30k for Australian Red Cross
One of EVE Online's rarest virtual spaceships has been sold for the equivalent of $30k (£23k) - all of which will go to the Australian Red Cross, in the wake of this year's devastating wild fires.
The eye-opening sale makes the ship - an ultra-rare Gold Magnate - "arguably the most expensive internet spaceship ever". That's according to its new owner Scott Manley - a scientist, astronomer and EVE Online fan from Scotland with over a million subscribers on YouTube.
EVE Online developer CCP has been encouraging fans to raise funds for Australia over the past few weeks via its latest PLEX for Good campaign (PLEX being an in-game currency you can convert to game-time). And while the final total is yet to be announced, CCP has held up the Gold Magnate's sale as "likely to be the biggest single donation of the event".
