worked for me.

1. went to the site that was in the attachment (eveonline.com/activate)
2. activated the code (WAS NOT LOGGED IN)
3. Clicked the big green "log in" button right below "hey, you'll get it next time you log in"
4. redirected to single-signon page
5. input login details
6. got sent back to a different page (white and grey, less pictures) re-confirming teh activation success
7. logged into EVE, see Thrasher in my redeemable items list (where it's staying til I'm back in my special loot hoard station)

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Thanks for the reply Velicitia. I was hoping that they hadn't been enabled yet or something. Guess I will have to wait on a reply to my petition.

Shame, taken the shine off what is an otherwise awesome deal.

Edit: I have followed your steps and ended up with a different activation success screen. I will try it when I get home. Fingers crossed Blink

I logged in previously and selected activate code in the options on the account page. It activated successfully, but I never got an item.

I bought mine.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

Yeah, I ended up with two success screens -- there was the normal "you got stuff!" (like when putting in the fanfest goodies) which had a second login link that took me to the grey/boring one (with some other details that I didn't read).

Wonder if it's something that "broke" because of the single-signon. I've also had things happen where I think I'll stay logged in, but get logged out when I follow links (mostly from here to the wiki, or forgetting that I've been sitting on account management for 10 minutes or whatever).

I failed at resisting spamming F5 on the eve store when they announced it.Oops

I am disappoint at how little is/was there though (I expect a lot of that is due to either spinning up production lines, or not wanting to sell out before fanfest).

Got home and I have an item to redeem!

So yeh, don't login and then try and activate the code. Activate the code and login as per Velicitias steps. Clearly they have an issue with it at the moment...

Thanks again Velicitia. :o)

Can I buy it, then re-sell it for ISK to someone else in game?

send codes etc? or is that against rules.

I am suffused with the shame of having dropped money on this thing. However, here isn't a single item (bar the USB hub) that will go to waste... So I guess this is back payment to CCP for having plexed for the last few years.

Looking forwards to trying out my Amarrian dropsuits the most.

That worked for me as well -thanks! I haven't had a chance to dock and claim it. I don't see the Gnosis BPC in the redeemable items list though...

I ordered. Looked at the stats of the special Thrasher, learned that it was just a reskin with no additional slots, EHP, damage bonuses, etc.. It's on sale in Dodixie now, so maybe I can get some decent isk out of it if nothing else. Don't feel like fighting the 0.01 iskers in Jita all day. : >

Looking forward to the golden pod though, and the clothes. I hope there's some kind of rainbow sparkling glowing Quafe shirt!

CCP Sreegs is my favorite developer.

I fully expect the mass sacrifice of Dustbunnies to sustain my soul within the Golden Pod.

Ordered, will enjoy having my Rifter USB hub and the physical books. That's what I'm after myself.

The way I'm reading the Collector Edition is that by buying the thing, you'll get the following "in the box", when it ships in October/November.


  • Golden Pod
  • Gnosis BPC
  • Clothes
  • DUST suits
  • DUST guns
  • Sarum Magnate Frigate (?)
  • Hardcover book
  • CD of the symphony
  • Rifter USB Hub
  • anything I'm forgetting


For those of us who have PRE-ORDERED, along with the above stuff, we also get the code for a Nefantir Thrasher.

You won't, petition CCP over it and you might need to change to the Eve store as I understand it to receive the code.
