Only for existing clothes. When new clothes or actually interesting stuff comes out, I'll have 7500 free Aurum to play around with.

I took the Aurum because all the other options were more meh than that. At least they put some things with some use for some people in for christmess, not just some useless fluff. I call this progress despite me choosing the most useless fluff of them all. Lol

AURUM ... the christmas gift that gives with one hand whilst taking away with the other.

Remove potential gamplay elements and then attempt to get the players used to buying them back for AURUM ... brilliant duping strategy!!!

Would you like extra custard with that pie? it's free ... American Pie style.

Nex (Cash Shop) / Aurum - removing sand from the sandbox since Incarna. Currently the only use for aurum is to buy virtual items in the in-game store, but Cockerill expects to expand its uses in the future.

I took the pos fuel blocks for most isk. Oh no, I've said too much.

I guess I take the AUR too, if the remap doesn't come back.

There'll be hopefully a day when there is more in the Nexstore like japanese designer jeans. There may be ship skins...

I hope you burn your toast and your coffee tastes odd

Thank you, I just stumbled across this link about the remaps.

Btw: I am totally against AUR and the Nexstore but since it's there we gotta make best of it. And the coffee is delicious(in game) :)

Its fortunate for our liberty and culture that our forefathers didn't take that position.

More than you'll ever know.

95% of the players are loving EVE, the other 5%? On the forums.

Why ? he's crap !

But, now you come to me, and you say: "Berneh, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder for money.

With the success of micro transactions in games and Aurum already ready and waiting, CCP is definitely going to provide more things to buy in the future (ship skins, customizations, vanity items, etc). Aurum is banking on cool stuff coming eventually.

The other options are ~40m ISK or a re-map that old characters like this one have no use for. After a few years in EVE you run out of immediately important skills to train and end up training skills that take forever (like finishing off training every weapon spec to 5 :D).

How could a remap possibly make ISK quicker, does total SP somehow get used as a multiplier on the bounties people receive, manufacturing time or trade tax?


There are skills for reducing tax on transactions, total contracts, distance of contracts, bigger rewards from agents, access to better agents via Diplomacy skill etc.

So yes there is a link between sp and cash if you use it wisely.

P.S. I am buying some heals and a skirt.

I always feel like a naughty boy when I say the word Aurum out loud.

And taking a remap gets you something you can't buy with isk. :)
