They are. “Limited” is not used and anything can be a “collectible”.

I believe CCP will adhere to their wordings and will keep these items "limited."
They will adhere to the wording and keep this items “special” — i.e. not infinitely reproducible through in-game means.


Thank you once again, CCP Tippia, for clarifying your company's interpretation of said terms. But, as always, you will be ignored by the less contrary and more realistic thinkers of this fine game.

Tbf, it has nothing to do with CCP or clarifying their interpretations and more to do with simply reading text on the page. Even before anything has been released, people are complaining that these supposedly “limited” items are not limited at all…

…and I'm just pointing out that they were never labelled as limited to begin with. The store lists them as “collectible”, which they are, but then, everything is collectible, and special-issue ships are just that: special-issue, which simply means they're not issued en masse by the game itself.

yup

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

I would love to get it, but it would probably cost two ****ing grand to ship it to New Zealand, the last stuff I ordered from the store before it closed almost cost me as much to ship it as the items did. Shocked

I will always be pleased with what the listed the contents as though "Educational Material" Lol

I'm on the fence here. I do like avatar clothing but none of it looks that great

I have no interest in any of the physical stuff

I suppose I can sell the ships in a year or so

The golden pod looks very pretentious and it will probably get me singled out when it's pod popping time.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

As a resident of New Zealand you are now unfortunately a second class customer of CCP and not eligible to order from the new EVE store or from Amazon for this item.

Dear CCP,

How many PLEX would I have to sacrifice to Thor/R'hllor/OptimusPrime or whoever they worship in Iceland these days in order to get the Collector's Edition without using my real monies?

That probably won't happen, thanks to people who'd use it for RMTing (as supplies aren't as limited as with the graphics cards last year).

Looking for more thoughts? Follow me on Twitter.

I consider, "we'll give you a Gnosis if your account is active on May 6" to be an offer. You can think differently, but we'll have to agree to disagree.

You do understand what happens to those who read Qu'ran or Bible too literally? You are starting to sound eerily similar to those.

When read word by word, perhaps what you say sounds "right," but CCP's promotions should be read on a bigger context. Usually in the real world when it comes to collectibles, when a company or a government states "commemorative & collectible edition," it specifies one-time-available-product that will not be "re-issued" in the future. You can look at automobiles, collectible coins from US Mint, and stamps issued by US Postal Service as good examples. It also applies to luxury collectible goods including Cartier & Vacheron Constantine watches, Mont Blanc collectible/commemorative edition pens, special edition Louis Vuitton & Hermes bags, Vertu phones, and many more. As you can see, my argument derives solely from a collector's point of view who has been crazy about collecting anything unique for many years.

When most of the "serious collectors" hear the wording "collector's/special edition," they consider the term synonymous to the word "limited edition." You can continue to be anal about this issue, but anyone who knows a thing or two about collecting woud overwhelming agree with our/collectors' logic.

If you haven't noticed, CCP agrees with our point as well, and hence, they provided equitable compensation in a form of "Silvershore Greatcoat" after the Ishukone shirt debacle, despite hundreds of senseless and time-wasting postings made by you to dissuade CCP from doing so.

Isn't it about time you give up Tippia? I created this posting to provide a place for those who pre-ordered this beautiful Collector's Edition to share and yet, you come here with your nonsensical ramblings to splatter dingleberries all over this sacred space.

Have you pre-ordered the Collector's Edition? If so, share your opinion about how amazing this new Edition is, instead of starting the whole argument about the meaning of "blah blah edition" again.
