I would approve of this, but everything I've seen in the NeX store is so ugly I wouldn't even wear it if it was given to me along with a billion ISK.

I actually approve of special items for subbing for a length of time. You can always sell them for isk.

Which is precisely why this is such a dreadful idea.

Kind of like giving away that special shuttle when they were pushing the box set.
That went well 
Stroll back in the forum history and feast on the hate for CCP giving stuff away to new players that hadn't earned it.

This sounds a lot like SWG reward system for vets.
I'd sure want to follow SOE's example with SWG....oh wait....hmm aren't they closing SWG this year?

Mr Epeen 
I pay monthly so there would be little benefit to me, and this would be for NEW accounts only, not resubs.
and yeah, giving away items that people had to buy is tricky... well there is no implied exclusivity on nex items, they could be given away tomorrow (of course all hell would break loose)
but the idea is the player is still spending more cash than you spent for the item to get it, A year of sub is a nice chunk to fork over, its not like everyone who tries eve gets monocle.
but if Hilmar and co maintain that this stuff is what people want they should put their nex items where their mouths are and see if the desire for this fluff can drive up sales of the core product to new players and not the current plan of selling colored icecubes to eskimos
SWG... well they just farked everyone over with their rewards program at every chance they got so they're a moot point and believe you me, giveaways wasn't the magic bullet that got SWG, not by a long shot

The idea sounds good, and in many games it might be. But for Eve, I have my doubts about it, I do not think it will bring in more subs or entice players to extend their subscription- Free ships like the Zephyr did not do that either, as far as I know, so why would a pair of virtual jeans?
Still, it would be a funny perk. |

They have a high turn over of players because of the games mechanics. Giving away items no one cares about is not going to make a new player stay.

I was under the impression this was the direction they would be going in. Alongside the standard stuff in the store they could use it to reward pilots and such.
