Spitfire - Introduction to the Global Sales Manager!
Spitfire - We want to be able to sell EVE stuff, but may not want to run a store. At the same time we want to be able to empower players to make their own stuff like, for instance, Rixx Javix's posters.
Spitfire - We're negotiating with a very well-known partner to host sales of EVE merchandise, and we'll be announcing at EVE Vegas.
Sugar - Will there be mugs, and keychains??!?
Spitfire - Yes!!
Spitfire - We want to make stuff that players want to buy, not stuff that's super expensive like what we had from the previous store. We want new merchandise to be accessible, and to sell well.
Cagali - What will the submission process be for players who want to create something?
Spitfire - It'll be super simple, we don't want to complicate things.
Sort - What about the Nyx
Falcon - It's still on track, CCP t0rfifrans is still working on it!
Gorski - Will there be incentives for people to create stuff?
Spitfire - In an ideal world, yes, but right now in the short term we can't do anything at present. Long term, we'll see.
Sugar - Will we be able to wear stuff that out characters have?
Spitfire - We want to focus on the basics first, but in future we'll look to expand, maybe we'll see some of the stuff from in game.
Sugar - What's shipping going to be like from this partner?
Spitfire - Very reasonable, it's one of the key things we want to make sure is right, and priced nicely.
Sort - Will this help with getting stuff to player gatherings?
Spitfire - I hope so, it's my hope this this will be the case.
Falcon - This will be less of a problem for player gatherings. It'll be great.
Corbexx - What about EVE Down Under and other gatherings? Will their apparel be available in the future store?
Spitfire - We could do that, but sometime the exclusivity of the event is having the t-shirts there only for attendees.
Sugar - What about sponsoring events? A percentage of the proceeds going to the gathering from sales in the store?
Spitfire - Amazing idea. We could see if we could set things up, but no promises.
Falcon - Fantastic idea, it would be great to get this off the ground.
Sugar - Plush Sleipnirs?
Spitfire - There's a big internal movement for a plush Fedo.
Falcon - Oh god, just not like the one that Max Singularity has. That's too close to space genitals for comfort.
Collective cries of please god, no.
Sion - What about the danger game?
Spitfire - We could do a version of this, we can look into it.
Sugar - Is there anything you want from us.
Spitfire - Feedback! When we go public with this, I really want good feedback on the basic stuff first, then we'll look to expand!
Mike - What about if you design a t-shirt for the store and give a code for the ingame version? Would you be interested in doing that?
Spitfire - It's a good idea, not sure about the load on the art department.
Falcon - You should speak to the art team in the next session!
