come on CCP no girl wants to wear a baggy sweater to rock their favorite game!!! if you don't think they will sell make a limited batch im sure your in a good enough business relationship a trial run of a new sweater or shirt or 2 or 3 would be decently priced.

insufficient demand for it?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

There's nothing stopping you from making yourself something appropriate.

Edit: that wasn't ment to sound disingenuous, there's nothing there that I'd be partial to either.

Just copyrights and IP laws, don't you remember the debacle when that alliance tried to make a shirt or something and CCP handed all that C&D to the printers or whatever?

:P

I was gonna buy a "Men's 'Esquire' Coat (matte green)" to treat myself on my birthday.

Turned out there are none for sale in any Market. Not even in the AUR store... :(

You have to remember that while women want to show off what little they have, men want to hide all that they have...

But do not worry, you too will in a few years be in the latter category.

They'd not take you to court over it, far too expensive for them. At worst they'd send you threatening letters (cease.and desist), though if done properly (ie you don't make a forum thread telling everyone how to get a t-shirt/hoodie cheaper than official price) nobody would be any the wiser and nobody would ever know. It's not like CCP have spies in all the online apparel printing places.

As for official ccp branded womenswear, probably never gonna happen. I'm not sure if ccp ask for gender when making an account though if not they'd probably have to run some sort of survey (ie a "male/female/opt out) dialogue box on logging in whichqill be time consuming and costly. I'd say that 95% of EVE players are male, which means the market share is just too small for them to mass-produce the stuff. If they micro-produced a run it would probably cost them (and you) double.

Look at it this way. A woman can wear anything a man can. The same cannot be said in reverse.
Count your blessings. And the available clothes are technically unisex.

IIRC, the official figure is 4% of Eve's player base.

And how much aurum would you pay for two band-aids and a patch of velcro?

Yes! Plenty of us girls do this thing! However, in a tight sweater the logo tends to be E v E.
For me, anyway. Blink

I have long theorized that hose and heels and such would have been generally "sexy wear" however it turned out that, given biological differences and the fact that the female form is art and the male form is comedy, then that stuff only looks good on women.


(the theory is based on the idea that men did wear shoes with heels and powdered wigs at one time but who the heck knows how that came to be or what the heck they were thinking)



I'm wondering though: how come the specific stations or "points of interest" in EvE don't sell apparel specific to their NeX stores? For example, getting a Nation t-shirt only in Sansha stations in Stain. How about a Serpentis shirt that is only available at their stations in nullsec? I think this would be lucrative for CCP (since PLEX are used for Aurum) and players get further individualization choices through their wardrobe.

It would also be cool to let large corporations and alliances sell T-Shirts with their logo on it. I would pay good Aurum to buy Harry Forever a Goonswarm Tee. P
