Might I further suggest they not charge OMG INSANITY prices for all of the stuff in this bold new commercial vision? Much as the idea of paying £110 for a hoodie, however delightfully warm and snuggly it might have been, may have appealed to some of us in the past, you might just maybe make more total monies by selling 20 times as many for 1/4 the markup.


You forget that in CCP's collective mind everyone has a pair of £800 jeans.

This will be what, the 4th iteration of the store? Doc expects to see "where is my EVE store stuff" threads of the same frequency as "how long does a ticket response take" once (or if) they get another store up and running again.

This has all happened before, and it will happen again.

Hey CCP Falcon,

Will this be a cash/CC only store or can we swag with PLEX or AUR as well?

You notice I said nothing about actually sending anyone any goods.

Hmm. Interesting. Can you share your list of item descriptions and, more importantly, can we suggest additions to it?

Please.

CCP hoodies come from the same manufacturer as Serpentis capital ships. It is known.

I think a good start would be the stuff that gets sold at Fanfest. So shirts, models, board games, books, logod mugs, coasters, shot glasses, beer mugs and wristbands.

I also remember someone did an offer on EVE themed PC tower cases at one point and you could add things like phone cases, laptop bags, tablet holders etc etc.

Be interesting to see what they come up with.

I agree 100%.

CCP make it so.

Nope, this was when we had a store running with a third party.

We're currently working on finalizing a store at present. Ironically, I'm actually in the process of writing item descriptions for the initial product lineup that's going into it.

Not sure on what the ETA is for the store, but work is ongoing, and it's getting there Big smile


Hope you got some Blood Raider Swag coming in there.

Glad to hear this.. it was on my list of things to do to write up some ideas.

Can't wait to get swag. Hopefully pricing for shipping is fair.

Ah, so CCP have finally started to overcome their long-held policy of lofty disdain for TAKING MY MONEY?

This...

I sooooo wanted that Guristas hoodie...

But not enough to pay the absurb asking price.

I think most people would pay 20-25$ for a tee shirt and maybe $40 for a hoodie. Beyond that youre getting into an area where only a few percent of people would bother.

Also, alliance logos on things.... Just sayin....

My cubicle has a Rifter USB hub but it could use a corp/alliance logo mouse pad etc

If, like, we see somebody sitting in Starbucks wearing a Minmatar jacket,
can we call the cops and get his car towed away as junk???

Would that video go viral? LOL Cool
