seriously, can't I get some clarification on the Collector's Edition questions I had a few days ago? I can't find the answers anywhere on your website, and its holding up my decision to purchase it.


If it's about the permanence of the Golden Pod, then I'll ask the development team to answer that question, but we will be releasing dev blogs with a lot of information about the Collectors Editiok and it's contents.

Edit to add: I was told by an Amazon rep that there was no pre-order bonus for purchasing it from them. I resisted the urge to do the typical Eve player thing and link them to dev posts stating otherwise

Shame there's not an incursis of tristan USB drive instead.

Maybe a megathron would have been cool too. Or a vexor. That ship can and should be able to do anything like carry my MP3s or whatever.

If we were not in the era of smartphones and tablets being our standard media players on the go, I'd say a pod shaped MP3 player would be best. It is the core of the game, it is rounded somewhat so easier to hold and fit in your pocket, but would have issues with places to but the controls.

If this is being released in October, why are you expecting to see your code now?

If you're supposed to receive the codes then how is this a pre-order?

I don't understand what's going on.

The preorder codes are what everyone is expecting. CCP expected them to be emailed with the placement of the preorder, not realizing that Amazon only ships preorder codes WITH the product shipment, leading to some confusion, CCP promising to get the codes sent out, Amazon stonewalling.

But basically, people want the Nefantir Thrasher code that is supposed to be sent out the second you order it, like in the EVE Store.

Honestly, as long as Spitfire can promise that we WILL get the codes, and that they WILL still be valid to redeem, even if we have to wait until october, then i dont see a major issue, personally.

Crossposting from another forum since AmazonTony hasn't recovered his account yet.

To anyone who has ordered the Collector's Edition from us I'm really sorry about your pre-order keys. The reason they have been so delayed is that I screwed up. I've been working on this with CCP for a while and took it upon myself to free up some bandwidth for my Physical counterpart and set up this deal, since I'd set it up rather than them. Unfortunately this is the first physical promotion I've set up and I totally messed it up. The problem has been fixed, everything should be live by 8:00PM, I'll be backfilling all orders today/tomorrow so you should be sorted, at latest, by tomorrow. Again, sincere apologies, this was 100% my fault and we'll get it fixed ASAP.

The "major issue" is that a lot of people ordered the CE edition through amazon to avoid the gouging from currency conversion in the main store. The main store codes have already been sent out, and people have the thrashers on the market. With each new thrasher put in the game, the value goes down; So everyone wants their codes fast to sell the thrasher to collectors. So in a nut shell people are mad because their investment is not paying off as much , or are pissed because they don't get what they are paying for (which includes fast delivery of the code)

Just received Dust 514 code from Amazon. Not sure if this same code will work for EVE too, or if there is an additional code still to arrive.
