Hi

I was looking at buying a collectors edition of EVE online Big smile
However I was informed that it is worthless now, as you never get anything extra and you cant use the codes anyway Sad

Question So am I saving money by not buying the collectors edition and is the collectors edition of EVE online / mystery code worthless?

If the collectors edition is worthless, I wonder how many players out there purchased the collectors edtion and now think it was a waste of money or is this info wrong and it is still worth something?

If the collectors edition is worthless will this be true for the limited books being sold now?

There is more in the collectors edition than codes.

The book alone is worth the cost as far as I'm concerned. But there's also the Ritter USB hub, board game and sound track CD if you are into those sort of things, plus the in game items.

Collectors edition was great thing in 2013 (or it was 2014?) where we were all optimistic and naive. I'm not at all regret buying it even tho for me it was really expensive thing.

Now, not so much. These days it looks like reminder of better days What?

As it was said Collectors edition has great art book which is really nice.
Also it contains some table game which i never tried because i have not enough english-speaking people around. People mentioned that this is great game.
USB hub is useless these days. Afaik it is only USB 1.0 and has very short cables. Also it is very poorly manufactured.
Disk with Eve Symphony is cool but i have nothing to put it in already.
Codes are useless.

Decide for yourself

The codes still work if you are not buying a used box. There is only one place to get the collectors edition now and that is from Markee Dragon. They were going to trash them and he offered to buy the remainder of them. He now sales them or breaks them up and sales the codes and other stuff separate.

I'm just curious where the hell you found one... only copies I can find are on ebay for like 200 bucks already opened (and missing the rifter)

Just google Markee Dragon. I would link his site but I don't want to be accused of being his alt, Not that that would be horrible, But I am my own person Lol .

I am not seeing the box set listed but I have watched some of his videos of him opening some of them to sort the items for selling parts individually. And he said he sales them, but shipping is a lot so he sales it for $100 shipping included but I think he only ships them in the USA. He might work with you if your wanting it that badly. Could just ask to buy the book alone if that is all you want. And get the codes from his site through email.

Found this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qT6C6QvA8KJuq1emEAm-xRXau0a9qvWZJY6AIU0-by8/edit
Yeah I know I broke my rule. Might as well just link the stuff.

The rifter is a piece of plastic garbage with a 10cm long cable...

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Doesn't change the fact that 200 dollars for an open product that is missing pieces is insane.

the usb hub is a freaking rifter, I've never plugged it in, it just sits on my desk all rifterly

I mostly bought it for the rifter, the book, and the golden pod. I dunno why the codes wouldn't work. Sure they don't put much out for the mystery code but like meh?

Recently read some FanFest comment about CCP mentioning that they are just hoping everyone stops talking about the mystery code and forget it. Something about it being mishandled and dropped.

Nothing to support these comments.

Are people buying these at all? I have an extra one (with the rifter), no codes. Might have to throw it up on eBay.

Hi all

Thank you for your comments but I have decided not to buy the collector’s edition from my friend.
