The sculpture will stand at more than 16 feet tall and be placed on a pedestal bearing a list of the game's active players, as well as account holders who have passed away.
Sigurour Guomundsson's EVE Online monument
"Honouring [the players] as part of a timeless monument shows how virtual lives and adventures have reached a new level of meaning and impact that weaves into and enhances those that happen in this world," said CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Petursson.
"We are humbled by all those that have joined us on the journey so far, and it's our hope that this physical piece will continue to gather energy and relevance into decades to come, becoming like EVE Online and outliving us all."
Called Worlds Within a World, the monument is designed by artist Sigurour Guomundsson with input from CCP artist directors Borkur Eiríksson and Asgeir Jon Asgeirsson.
It will be unveiled on Wednesday, April 30, a day before the annual Fanfest 2014 convention.
