Great to read about this topic, finally! Now there are some couple of questions :-)
1) Why didn't you write such a blog BEFORE you opened the NeX?
2) Are the prices for the different tiers set in stone? Or are you open to suggestions from the community? I think especially the "affordable" tier is still too expensive. 1 PLEX for an outfit, that is in average $3 for an item. Why not adding items for 0.99c and below?
3) Have you considered installing AUR as a real currency in EVE?
3 a) For example players could sell things for AUR in the market or they could set payment in contracts to AUR (and ISK).
3 b) Purely NPC sold items and services could be paid in AUR (additonal to ISK maybe), for example station office rent.
4) Are there plans to improve the interface to the store? Right now it is sort of okay, but if we (hopefully at some point) have tons of stuff in there, browsing through the items and finding the right one might be pretty difficult.
5) Are the technical limitations of the store and are you working on removing the limitations? For example, is it possible that some items in the store cost Aur AND Isk at the same time?
Props for blog and all the answers so far.
Oh, and of course it might be also interesting to read (in a future blog) about all the steps necessary from the first design studies of your clothing designers to the final product in the NeX store |

Should loose it if you get podded like anything else in game.
Lower the prices, destroy the items when you get podded and you have already a much better business running! |

Originally by: Ketaros Thunderclap The whole point is simple, and resumes to a marvelous simple move: - Make AUR be only bought with real money, without ANY connection with ISK.
Makes little sense. They would need to invent the wheel again, especially the trouble with accounting, billing etc. is way too high. Actually nothing useful can be gained by introducing a second, completely independent currency into EVE. Instead you have only PLEX and fractions of PLEX called Aur. They should have called it Plexicent instead of Aur though. The integration of Aur into EVE (through PLEX) is a great move and a very good thing.
Quote: I know PLEX was a big business mistake you guys did, dont try to correct a mistake doing another. CCP, do the math, separate real money from ISK, ASAP. I know MANY will hate me for saying this...
PLEX was the second best thing CCP ever did, the best one was GTC.
Quote: In the last 4 years I have been a Market Player on EVE, and I know and CCP know that like me there are few other players more kidding with 3 digits billions ISK accounts, that we could be the one interested by this tyer/clothing thing, make profit or even make our avatar look cool, but I can tell right away: we are not. I know for fact thats not a game thing being placed for those like me who play EVE like a Market Tycoon.
They aren't aiming for you. They are trying to attract *shock* new players! A different kind of player, those that like dress up etc. Too difficult to understand that? Looks like. |

Why does the preview of NeX' items takes insane long times to load? This is NO fun at all.

Are there any plans to integrate clothing and vanity items more into EVE gameplay?
For example by selling BLUEPRINTS of those vanity items for AUR and then let the players manufacture the items from existing (or maybe new) materials.
Any plans like this? |
