tldr: the Euro price already includes the tax (VAT)... for the US it is "$99 + tax" (because each US state has a different sales tax).


I never pay taxes on online purchases, Although I guess I am technically supposed to. I refuse =). I think it is like 6% in Idaho.

It's no so much the price that annoys me, it's more the fact that i have to pay more then someone else, which i stopped buying from official ccp sites a years ago

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

General tax margin for a US state is between 9 and 14%.... if i remember from my tenure there.

This would work out at between 109 and 115 dollars, with vat.

The OP is correct that the Euro version, is about 20 dollars more than that.

For fellow Brits who wanted a REAL money price.... I think I worked it out yesterday at £90.80 including delivery.


Yes, it sucks.... not as bad as Aussies get it.... but...

It isnt just CCP, its MOST gaming companies....

so just deal.

Best thing about a Brummie accent is that it is not a Scouse one.

This is not a signature.

They should just make it available for 99:- for us outside the Euro zone.

Here's what ya do: Get yourself $40 US dollars. In pennies. Ship it directly to Hildar's house, along with your 100 euros. Demand your item.

Oh look, a "special price" that should have been the release price in the first place. Roll

The USD = EUR is an often applied scam by almost all game companies.

It's done simply because they can, they know they're making europeans pay more, even though we already have the highest tax (almost 50% in my country), but we pay it anyway since we're given only two choices, pay or don't play.


Adobe are the masters at this quoting the same price in dollars, euros, pounds etc, despite the fact they don't sell anything physical, just downloads, if you choose the us server and pay in dollars its cheaper for the exact same product lol.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...
