So a year has come and gone and the "mystery code" seems to have been forgotten... again... Cry

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5459930#post5459930

This was the last post that seemed to get somewhere, but alas... the year has passed and we are in the same posision so time to bring it up again.

I know everyone is in CITIDEL mode atm but another update has come and gone with not so much as a nice hat...

And i dont want to come across entitled or anything like that, but its a bit of a let down for something that was at least for me a great idea.

I believe CCP Falcon took on responsibility when the original guy left. Falcons usually pretty good on his word but i have to agree, i feel having this mystery code has gone from being a really good idea to one of meh what was the point again?

I'm fairly sure CCP is spread rather thin on resources at the moment. As cruel as it may sound, creating more (unique) resources when they're not bringing in any (new) money may not be very appealing to them :)

They may try to lure you toward gunjack, valkyrie or legion later on with new stuff from the code.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

Fun fact... the mystery code was advertised with a unique Valkyrie ship on launch... Blink

...so basically, in the promotion of the 10 Year Anniversary bundle that included the mystery code. Apart of the deal was this unique item for Valkyrie. So CCP isn't fulfilling their what they advertised.

For the mystery code I suggest Faction Citadel BPC's, since eve online is now pay more to win at well.. everything Cool

Eve online is :

A) mining simulator B) glorified chatroom C) spreadsheets online

D) CCP Games Pay to Win at skill leveling, with instant gratification

once again, a dev has mentioned that they know about this and are working on something. Launch is not for a bit off, as we are getting early access with a rift, not launch. So technically not the same

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

They aren't getting anymore money from collector's editions so why would they worry about working on anything to do with them? CCP operates on the 'what have you done for me lately' business strategy, promises on goods purchased don't mean anything once the cash gained from them is long gone.

TBH I forgot about the mystery code, not a thing for gunjack, i mean the pre sale pitch at fanfest 2013 was future products inc or something along those lines.

They could just do us a solid and let us claim a gold pod implant once a year.

Well hopefully they will still honor their Valkyrie promise for the code when it actually releases.

As for the EVE side of the code it does feel like it needs a little love... Especially with all the in game events going on and coming up.

Pretty sure a lot has change in Valkyrie since they thought that one up, so not too worried about that...
Wondering more on a lack of comunication on the matter...

I would love to hear more on this as well. I would feel cheated if they abandoned the project but if they did I wish they would at least a say so.



Maybe a limited fax skin ^.^

Hey guys,

We haven't forgotten about the Mystery Code, and have been discussing some stuff for before Fanfest.

As I said when the last bunch of stuff went out, the mystery code is not going to be an ISK faucet for players who have it, and is not going to be updated with stuff super regularly. It's not a code that gives entitlement to free stuff every x number of months.

It's designed for large scale promotions when there's something big going on and we want to provide additional benefits to those who have a mystery code.
