Someday, they are going to bulldoze the monument, grinding it down to provide a base for the new monument, which will depict Aiko, the sole winner of EvE Online. ---

Kind of amusing that Xenuria later went on to serve on the CSM and do a pretty good job, earning a measure of respect. Goons put him on their ballot as a joke but then he actually got elected. Name recognition from this monument incident probably didn’t hurt. Strange guy, but I ended up liking him somewhat. ---

The degredation is sad, but maybe understandable given the material: aluminum. I hope it had a good clear coat over it, and/or was anodized. Any coating should probably be re-applied every few years.

Or just accept that it was a really cool gesture and landmark by a company full of nerds who didn’t have to do that, out of their own pocket and for some stupid game. It’s not a funded ww2 memorial. Things decay unless you spent a ton and even more to maintain it. ---

I feel like it was meant to decay. I recall, but can not verify, that the artist was cognisant of that eventuality. In that way it is an evolving art piece. Melancholic entropy has its own beauty. ---
