So I was in Jita playing super space barbie pretty pony princess dressup and I noticed a Men's 'Esquire' Coat (Green/Gold) on market. I snapped it up for entirely too much isk, as strangely there only seems to be 3-4 of them (for sale). Its existed in the database for a while like other hypothetical clothing items but isn't sold in the NeX store, or anywhere else I can see.

So the question is, where are these coming from? Is CCP seeding them as a test? Are they a quest item? Was it a promotion? Am I just blind?

This jacket comes with the collector's edition of EVE Online that has been recently launched in Russia (landing page is available here if you're curious).

Am I getting it right that the box only costs about 11€ and that it includes a one month subscription, the red/gold female coat and the green/gold male coat? Why the hell are you making the best looking clothes available for so little ISK? Even if you ignore the one month subscription it's still only the equivalent of about 200m ISK per item. You just utterly suck!

Am I reading this right? Do you complain about cosmetic items being too cheap?

No matter what CCP does, someone has to complain.

If clothing is of the upmost importance to you I advise you try out "Hello Kitty Barbie Island Father Issues Dress up" game. You probably play on a Mac though and if I remember correctly that won't work, try "Bratz Buy Sub Standard Electronics Then Play Dress Up In Hollywood" instead, BBSSETPDUIH is fully Mac compatible.

Hope this helped.

I’m not going to look up your suggestions. However, I don’t expect them to be an option for me. I really like EVE’s unique harsh, cold and realistic style. EVE is a great game because of its diversity and because of the vision that the leading developers (hopefully still) have for this game. Eventually EVE should be so massive that it’s not possible to master every aspect of the game. Every player could focus on what he likes most and leave the aspects of the game that he doesn’t like for others. That's what a true MMO should be about. EVE should be the one game that is a substitute for all other games out there. It would be a shame if bitter whining losers like you who don’t want “their” game to be improved just because they generally are blind or hate changes prevent this from happening.

It's not 11 euro, more like 30 euro for Captain's Edition (which includes the coats)
So nothing to complain about I guess.

FWIW, I used to say "You should go play Hello Kitty Online Adventures" for the longest time.

Turns out it's actually a real game.

Is the collector's edition going to be limited, or can we expect it to be available for a while?

It's going to be available for some time, but only in Russia, Ukraine and some other ex-USSR countries.

1: Is this part of putins plan to revitalise the USSR?
2: Are any of these former ex-USSR countries part of the EU now? Like latvia, estonia, lithuania, poland, hungary..., because if that is so I believe I have a right to access them to I do believe

The Baltic states (Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania) are a part of the EU, and so are Poland and Hungary (although they never were in the USSR to begin with). You'll need a visa to travel to Russia and other ex-USSR countries (although Ukraine seems to be on track to establish a visa-free regime with the EU).

I think the point of the question may have been to establish whether the special offer is available in any EU countries. Because if it is then, due to the single market, it will necessarily be available in all other EU countries as well (I believe).

Yep, I understand that. Smile I think that it's unfortunately not available in the Baltic states, but I'll check with our publisher today.

You saw through my very superficial master plan with ease man in the shadows! Truly, your darkness only equals your intelligence!

@SPITFIRE, I am aware of the fact you need a visa to visit Russia, I've been there (Sint-Petersburg at least). I included Poland and Hungary in my list because they to have a Russian population and thus perhaps the box was to be marketed there also, meaning that off course it would be available all over the EU. MWUAHAHAHAHA

Additional EDIT: Clothes as questing items would be an excellent idea to help the incarna thing along. Especially if you include them in cosmos or story arcs (who doesn't want a blood raider dress)
