CCP, we used to have a lot of cool stuff in the EVE store like coasters and playing cards etc... now all we have is a few items of clothing. While they are pretty cool if you don't live in the EU you are still forced to pay in Euros! Why so expensive? I'm from Australia and it costs $120 just for one jacket after postage. I could walk into the average store here and get something of comparable or better quality for half that price. Please consider some more options for the store... more items and lower prices, especially for us international buyers!

Agreed, the new store is disappointing.

I used to browse through the larger collection on the old store every payday and buy myself something nice. A cool Amarr or Caldari teeshirt here, a mug or keyring there, etc. But now? We've only got a store with around a half dozen items, all of which are so overpriced that I'm never going to be purchasing from it. I guess I'll have to hit up eBay if I want any of those awesome official EVE shirts from the old store.

I have a fantastic Minmatar hoodie and a framed picture of a Hurricane hull on my wall. My daughter got me both of them for Christmas because she's the best daughter in the world. She didn't get either of them from the CCP store though because she's 10yr old. She'd have to do chores for a month to make $120. Too bad CCP didn't get that money because their store is stupid.

overpriced
international shipping
have to call my bank ahead of time to make any transaction
mediocre selection
Ordering the collector's edition was a PITA
and the book was damaged when I got it

never again

All Eve Store offerings will be disappointing until they finally release the "Unsuccessful at Everything riding a tiger while holding a subway sandwich (with pickles) velour blacklight poster". You cannot say to offer a true array of Eve related stuff without it!



Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

CCP can you give us an update on what's happening with the store if you read this? To get the collector's edition to Australia cost more than a year's subscription to the damn game all up. I'm not just talking about that though, the clothes are cool, but more options needed and definitely a price cut...

The shipping is mental. It is, hyperbolically, cheaper to fly to their depot and pick it up in person than it is to have it shipped to your door. Feels that way, at least.

And I really miss the ship models.

The pickles weren't in the original design. It was an aesthetic choice by one of the Devs during the planning phase. Its in a thread somewhere.(I'm actually serious on this.)

They need simple items in the store, things like mugs and t-shirts with faction logos on them.

Also more ship models.

The store is pretty bad. Its a store for a game about spaceship with no spaceship models, good thing I can buy overpriced clothes though. Even when they had models it was only for 4 ships and they were like $70-80 pre-shipping.

Why are there no reasonably priced spaceship models? I don't want to buy "illegally" but if CCP is just going to sit on their IP I'm not going to feel bad about paying to get them 3D printed.

They really need shipping and dist. sites in EU and US. I still can't understand why they think people will buy stuff when the shipping costs are enough to deter you from even placing an order. Really sad.

I'm no expert but, I bet I could do the US piece if they were looking for someone.

I'd even take payment in PLEX.

Ship models.... I was going to get my son one. I'll have to go to ebay however. I'm not likely to buy from the Eve store, not if the selection is as meager as it is or as expensive. I can draw with a marker on a T shirt and have a T shirt with a Rifter on it if I want one that bad.

To be honest with you, i'd sooner CCP allowed us to pay for the right to print a transfer of some aspect of their IP on whatever clothing we desire.

Zero cash and very pissed off punters is negative income and publicity, especially when compared to allowing us to "Go forth and advertize for you" at a nominal fee.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Sad fact is that if I wanted some decent EVE branded gear chances are I would have to go to a non authorized third party that don't give a f*** about the copyright issues.

Which I have never done of course....

I love my Gurista underpants. Now if only I could find someone to make me a a pair of white boxer shorts with a thorax on the front and a dominix on the back...

Edit: bad typo's, any other mistakes I don't care about.

Consider making it one of those classy "glow under ultravoilet light" designs.

Still hoping a CCP representative will respond about the issues of price, shipping costs and range of merch.
