enjoy iceland, or is it ccp newcastle?

Remember, fearless; watch wha the users do, not say; metrics; awesome; brennivin; iceland rocks; new players are obviously more important to the health of a sandbox environment than the people who made the stories that got those same newbs interested in the first place; And the biggie, I dont play eve, anyone fancy wow? all should help get you that job ;)

Seriously though, good luck, and ffs get on team BFF the only team worth paying attention too.  Oh and become the guy who makes NPCs harder in kspace etc :D

 :D

It is in Iceland. It's for a QA tester, so probably wont have much sway on anything. Although I will be able to give the developers some stick for you all and get away with it. I know literally nothing about what i'll be testing or anything like that. Just that it's a QA job in Iceland. I hope it's testing Dust, I know you cant wait for that :p

sorted that for you

its expensive as their banks dont pay their debts to foreigners :)
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Shouldve said you were going, I'd have recommended a bunch of places to eat/drink/see and stuff.

Also, PLEASE say you ate at Nonnabitis after a nights boozing?  (Best sammich's anywhere at 3am!).

Bit different being a tourist than living there, though. I'd be getting a wage which will cover it, and it's not like i'd be out living it up like im on holiday. Well maybe for the first 6 months  ;)

As for the cold. Fuck it. Only a complete puff would go on about that.

From what I understand you can opt to be paid in Euro's/Pounds - theres a whole bunch of randomness kicking around from EVEO to failheap to Glassdoor about it.  I did see one thing that is a downer I suppose, the salary CCP offers is usually less than you get elsewhere for similar, but they help with relocating and everything - both when you start and when you leave.

And of course, you'll be eating at Nonnis every time you are in town :D

If you get it, I may have to about face on no more fanfests and go to next years...

Ive actually been looking for as much info as i can get my hands on about working for CCP to be honest. If you have any handy links etc. it'd be much appreciated. As for salary, if it's close to what i get now i'll be sorted, and I dont exactly get a massive wage for what I do.

Glassdoor for starters:
