Sell in game stuffs for ISK, buy PLEX, don't pay your sub until PLEX runs out.

The thrasher and tattoo can be sold for a quick 1.5 Bil which equals roughly $45. That's 1/3 the price right there.

I'm seeing buy orders for the Golden POD in the billions ATM.

Sell that with the other codes, get your money back one way or another.

"Free" cool IRL stuff...



Then why waste your money on CE just buy a plex. The dust **** is a joke who the **** plays that crap game.

I do (occasionally) for one, my son for another... and slowly my corporation seems to be acquiring a small population of the little buggers.

I've been keeping tabs on it myself. I probably won't get too involved until it's had a year or so to be fleshed out.... just like it took EVE a couple of years to actually turn into something playable (and then went on to become great).

It just seems to be how CCP rolls, but they make it work.

I also play Dust on a very rare occasion, it's a /free/ game!

Sure I give CCP ALOT of grief and troll them about it, it's a awesome concept. They REALLY need to stop dragging their feet about it and get serious! The game might not be appealing to some people, but others do like it, hence why there's people playing it now!

Okay, when Dragon Age Origins was released the CE came with a code for Blood Dragon Armor for Mass Effect 2. I believe other EA Games like Dead Space came with codes as well. At least DUST takes place in the same universe as Eve!


OOhhh.. So you're going to compare CCP to EA huh? EA who has won the "Worst company in America" award twice in a row now?

You do that man.. do that.. Enjoy your 400k Magnate. Erhm.. I mean Tash-Murkon Magnate. Sorry, having trouble keeping the two apart.

To EA's defence, at least Mass Effect 2 was released on the PC which actually made the codes redeemable because Dragon Age and Mass Effect are similar games set in different universes where EVE is a space MMO for the PC and Dust is a FPS for the PS3 only I believe?

Haha.. well at least that would be epic compared to the garbage included in the Collectors edition.

I'd laugh if the worthless mystery code is redeemable for a guardian-vexor once the last CE is sold....

rotfbmalfo. Rolling on the floor because my artificial limbs fell off.

Don't hold your breath man, CCP are infamous for keeping unique ships, unique.

They still list the Gold Magnate on the market for example, a truly unique ship that was blown up almost 10 years ago when Tyrrax Thorrk took his into battle.

Instead of releasing more Gold Magnates on special occasions, 10 year anniversarys for example, or collectors editions, they do nothing. So again, don't hold your breath.

Yes maybe, but one would still expect more useful , unique items from a 10 year celebration of EVE. I'm sure they'd sell a hell of alot more CE's if they would actually include something special.


Are you expecting CCP to make a custom item for every person who orders the collectors edition?

Or something like this?

Not at all, if you'd take 1 minute of your precious time to read the post I was replying to you'd know what I was talking about.

But you didn't so, get out.

Why are you being so hostile? You literally asked a simple question that was answered without me even giving my opinion of the product in question. I also feel as though buying Dead Space for a Dragon Age code is at least as genre bending as Eve and Dust.

Hostile? I'm not being hostile, I just presented a perfect example for you. P

Also, I think CCP should struggle to be better than the competition, not bloat the CE with stuff only a minority will ever use.

Doing the exact same thing EA is doing isn't something any company should struggle to achieve.

i also have this opinion of the CE and its the reason I'm not buying it. The symphony soundtrack and the eve booklet are the only things that are of any particular use. I might pay 50 bucks for the soundtrack and the booklet but the other crap isn't adding 100 dollars on top.

for the rest of the stuff,
It's like offering a bunch of functionally identical collectible spoons from each country to someone who wants a bunch of different pieces of cutlery to better their meal-eating experience. Last time you offered vanity items for purchase people started getting annoyed, this is pretty much the same case except with the two reasonable items in there to offset people's annoyance. Can you actually make the stuff useful perhaps?

Vanity items weren't what really got to people.

It was that CCP weren't saying that they would /not/ sell useful in game things for real money.



Few people have problems with vanity items being sold. They just might not want them. Or think that people who buy them are idiots. They don't object to the entire concept.

Woo! CSM XI!

I'm not disappointed at all; I knew precisely what I was getting when I ordered.

I sold the Thrasher for the price of almost 3 PLEX, so that cuts down the price somewhat already. The Gnosis BPCs will likely be worth a decent amount, too - especially as time goes on. Unlike a lot of other mass-produced limited edition ships, the Gnosis is actually useful and they do get blown up.

I don't know if the code cannot be used on an existing account, but if not, check this out: Send a buddy invite to myself. Sign up with the new account. Yet another "free" month, then I can spend 2 months of training a specialized character that I can sell on the character forums at some point (or use as another market or research alt or something). Not so bad.

Golden pod is cool. Rifter USB hub is cool not as a USB hub, but as a nifty decoration. Something to sit next to some other cool things I have. You can ridicule the sleeve tattoos but I think they're pretty neat.

I have no use for the DUST items unless CCP ports it over to the PC. I'll likely find some DUST player that really enjoys the game and just give the stuff away because I'm nice like that.

And yeah, future product from CCP -> World of Darkness most likely. I was a pen and paper WoD player long, long, long before CCP was ever established, so I have some interest in that by default.

A bit pricey for what is included? Yeah, but thankfully my day to day gripes are "first world problems" and I have some disposable income to toss around on things like this. : >

I Haven't bought it and make no mistake, I can afford it. It's just that I dont feel the contents are EVE focused enough and I'm sure there's more people out there who thinks the same.

Come on guys, this is the fooken 10 year EVE online celebration Collectors Edition pack. This pack should be so filled with awesomeness every hardcore EVE player should want one but it's just filled with feelings of ... .. meh.



Yeah, more EVEish please and more awesome!
Please put a personal moon goo deed in every box.
You fly to any moon, enter the secret code et voilà! The moon becomes a technetium moon and you and all the thousands of other CE buyers will instantly become... oh, wait!

And also every tenth or so box should contain nothing but a note that reads "You have been scammed. Please post tears in Jita Local."
