CCP put new special ship in boxed edition.
Noobs will use boxed edition of EVE to set up a new account.
Noobs often times lack basic common sense and/or are very gullible.
People who fall for scams almost always lack basic common sense and/or are very gullible.
So in conclusion, CCP introduced the Interbus Shuttle as something for us to scam noobs out of. Buying one for yourself with the boxed edition of EVE would be defeating the purpose of the new ship. 
Sig is now EVE related. Happy mods?

I thought that was how it was going to work? Established players simply use the codes in the box with the Redeemer button to apply them to an existing account?

I'm just wondering if this new shuttle won't be something to be scammed from noobs, but instead suicide ganked... We'll probably actually be able to see it go pop before we do.

Kinda lame though, I will probably end up getting a box but I don't want to make a new account. Oh well.

Reading between the lines here, but just make a new account as a trail, dont turn in the plexes, and just trade them to your main. Then you can get all the perks.... well except faction standings. :/

I do hope CCP have the back rooms stocked .. if this retail thing pans out (ie. more new meat than expected) they will be doing emergency damage control on the poor server 24/7 for weeks on end.
PS: Can the 60 day code be redeemed for PLEX in game as well (in case some one doesn't want a shuttle)?

What made CCP decide that only new players who buy the box should get the two items, instead of both older players who would willingly buy the Box and put it on their legit account?
I hate to sound so Cliche; But why are you giving newer players the benefit and the old players the Boot, So to speak. ______________________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

1. It's a *shuttle* - with a bit extra carg - pff. Let'em have something shiny special. Obviously Atari argued they need something to make box worthwhile - and CCP said - sure - no prob - special ship - and gave then a ship that's nice for a noob for about a week or 2. Great deal IMHO.
2. Don't tell me any of you guys (assuming you have been playing for more than a few days) have any need for that ship.
3. If you totally want one for your cute ship collection - just frakin buy one. Give a noob a million isk - small change for you - big money for him - and everybody is happy (you'll probably get them for much less anyway).
no worries

So basically what you are saying is that existing players aren't worth giving a perk even if they go out and spend money on your boxed version. Good stuff CCP. Just like usual. ____________________

Lets see if I can get how I feel about this subject across in a constructive manner.
I love EVE, it's a great game. The main thing that makes it great is, if you want something badly enough ingame you can get it. If its that full officer fitted CNR or that Erebus so you can go and DDD GoonSwarm or Kenny. All you need to do to get these things is work hard and put in the time and effort.
Now, I know there is the odd exception to the rule. We do have some Limited Edition ships, such as your Imp Apocs, Guardian Vexors.. Those but those ships were either ingame and open to anyone (before I started playing) and have been removed or are special prize.
But now there is a ship that hard work wont pay for. I've either got to 1) Scam a noob 2) Pay a noob to trade it, not on the market but a private trade 3) Create another account and sub it... heck I've already got 3... thats more than enough!
I know its only a shuttle and I know that CCP need to give their promo people something to put on the box. But it just don't sit right with me, giving away something that I've, after 4 years of playing have no ability to earn, build, or win.
Sorry CCP but thats just a bit ****ed up

I agree with the above. This does not sound good for older players. And I¦m guessing the faction standing will only go to a new account also.

They are both shuttles.

i just gotta try scamming one from a newb 
narh, on the other hand, it would be smarter for the new players to e.g trade the shuttle for a reasonable ship or another thing, that would help them when doing missions, mining or whatever they're doing? 
i think a Cruiser fully fitted must sound very attractive for a newbie instead of a shuttle, that only has 10m^3 more cargo than the normal ones.

Nareg Maxence said "A while back everybody got a jovian shuttle." Technically that wasn't a Jovian shuttle. It was made by a none Jove corp, for a corp whos CEO is not a Jove and built by none Jove people." Not given the shuttle and other rewards to old accounts is a silly idea. CCP you just lowered potential sales of the box by a fair bit by removing the reason lots of old players would have bought the box. What is the reason behind only given new players the rewards of the box? If you give old players the reward far more would want to buy the box which would surly equal more money for CCP. More game sales mean more shops would be willing to stock more boxs.

Why would they care if old accounts bought the box set or not? It sells retail for pretty much the price of the GTC, so it's not like they'd be making a huge - or any - extra profit by doing so.
TBH I think you're overstating the importance of a shuttle. A shuttle, ffs. If you actually want one that bad, offer some boxnoob a swap for a dozen rifters or a +2 PERC implant or something.

Edited by: Pottsey on 01/03/2009 11:02:59 Malcanis said "Why would they care if old accounts bought the box set or not?" The more people that buy a game the higher up it goes in the rank of sales list. People look at top ten lists and are more likely to buy games in that list further increasing sales. Shops that get a game selling well put it in a place that stands out more and possible advertise it in the shop. Online shops put it in the recommend to buy list and in other areas that increase chance of more sales. So the more old players that buy the box the more new players buy the box in theory.
That and a lot of people hate seeing things like
Your new and pay ú30 you get 60days +x, +y, +z Your old and pay ú30 you only get 60days
That's bad press and makes some older player feel they are being mistreated. Why should new customers get extras while the old loyal customers pay the same and get nothing? It's the principle of the matter. You should not treat loyal customers worse than new customers and its more then just a shuttle.

Correct, good sells create spinoffs that might add more players. And eve-n I considered getting a box, to make one specialized alt which would have been transferred to this account later on. Lets see.

I have to ask why people care about having a shuttle with 20m3 of space? Wow, maybe you can transport 1 turret in it now! EPIC!  __________________

That and a lot of people hate seeing things like
Your new and pay ú30 you get 60days +x, +y, +z Your old and pay ú30 you only get 60days
That's bad press and makes some older player feel they are being mistreated. Why should new customers get extras while the old loyal customers pay the same and get nothing? It's the principle of the matter. You should not treat loyal customers worse than new customers and its more then just a shuttle.
yeah, I really feel "mistreated" because I'm not going to get another free fluff shuttle. Woo.
Jesus christ, just read what you wrote. Tell me, do you seriously feel offended that CCP is gonna give some new players a god damb shuttle? You sound exactly like some kid crying because another kid got 3 bit of candy peel on his cupcake while you only got 2. Aren't your 10s of millions of SP and billions of ISK worth of assets enough of an advantage that you can't spot a few new guys a god damb shuttle? It's just a bit of worthless fluff, for the love of god, just as the Apotheosis was. I still have my Apo - it was a nice little gesture from CCP to say happy EvE birthday and thanks for being a customer on that day.
On that day.
Likewise, CCP are celebrating their new box set by giving people who create a new account an Interbus shuttle.
People like you are why we can't have nice things.

Originally by: Jovoich Lets see if I can get how I feel about this subject across in a constructive manner.
I love EVE, it's a great game. The main thing that makes it great is, if you want something badly enough ingame you can get it. If its that full officer fitted CNR or that Erebus so you can go and DDD GoonSwarm or Kenny. All you need to do to get these things is work hard and put in the time and effort.
Now, I know there is the odd exception to the rule. We do have some Limited Edition ships, such as your Imp Apocs, Guardian Vexors.. Those but those ships were either ingame and open to anyone (before I started playing) and have been removed or are special prize.
But now there is a ship that hard work wont pay for. I've either got to 1) Scam a noob 2) Pay a noob to trade it, not on the market but a private trade 3) Create another account and sub it... heck I've already got 3... thats more than enough!
I know its only a shuttle and I know that CCP need to give their promo people something to put on the box. But it just don't sit right with me, giving away something that I've, after 4 years of playing have no ability to earn, build, or win.
Sorry CCP but thats just a bit ****ed up
****ed up?
IT.. IS.. A... SHUUUUUTTLLLLLEEEEEEEEE!

What's the matter with you people - it's a *shuttle*.
Yet people here are talking like it's an Origami Dreadnought with Uberlasers and Indestructible armor that us veterans will never ever get our hands on.
Think for a second.
First - you don't need it for anything. It's trivial to cheaply fit a frig to be both faster and have more cargo than this new shuttle. Second - if you feel you just have to own one because its your mission in life to have one of every ship you talk to a noob and buy it. "Hey - new guy - here's frigate and some cash" - to which the noob will answer: "Err - you're giving me that cool frigate and some money for just this silly shuttle - awesome.".

Will only the first character created on that new acount get the shuttle - or will all characters?
What if I recyle the character, will a new shuttle appear? Thus I can see a market for recycling chars to get the shuttle if they sell for some nice millions to collectors...?
However, just applying the code should imo get you a shuttle, as I will buy the box, but I'm not really all that into creating new accounts - but obviously that will be done if that's the only way to get a shuttle without having to buy it from someone.

It's obvious to you and it's obvious to me. I guess we're just not petty and small-minded enough to see the real problem here...

Dear CCP,
The moon on a stick you gave all players is mounted on the wrong kind of stick.
This causes outrage and disgust among all subscribers.
Accordingly, millions of subscribers will quit.
Sincerely,
An outraged entitlement complex delusional nit-picker.
Yes. Yes, I am. |

When creating a new account using the ETC code in the box then one shuttle will be added to the Redeeming System for that account. The player can redeem the shuttle to any of his/her characters. There is just one shuttle per new account.

Nah, I'll create my new account now to speed up my new alts and simply sell the GTC from the box and buy a shuttle from someone, as long as the shuttle doesn't cost more than whatever I get from the GTC I don't lose out on anything.
