Seeing as this is a large effort between the publisher, CCP and all the various people that worked on it, we all are waiting for the players' response with baited breath. So...
Once you get your issue of E-ON, give it a read (Duh!  ) Let it soak in for a few minutes, then drop a review in this thread. If you liked it, great! If you didn't, let us know how to improve it for the next issue. The only thing I ask is that criticism (if any) is kept constructive. No flames, no rants, no "OMG it is teh sux!!!111elevenone". Posts of that nature, or off-topic posts will be deleted.
Oh, and yes, E-ON has shipped!

Mine arrived this morning, and as I'm at work I haven't had time to fully read it yet, but at first glance I'm very impressed. The articles look like a good read, there's a decent amount of fiction, some intriguing news, useful guides, LOVELY artwork throughout... and for once I don't mind reading the ads, as they're all EVE-related! Well done to everyone involved in it...
Thumbs up from little old me!!

First of all, the Titan/BFS preview was nice. Could've said more about carriers.

Very nice indeed, I know there was a lot of stuff in it, but I wanted MORE!!!
I have yet to read the chronicles and 1 or 2 articles, but I'll comment on what I have read.
The Info on Kali was nice, lots of cool stuff there conjuring up pictures in my mind of what fleets are going to become, with all that nice concept art of the various capital ships (I'm really liking the carriers, especially the minmatar one, though no gallente one was shown..) and all the other cool stuff there was.
The bit on china was interesting, though I personally hope there is no east v west war, which could potentially destroy completely one clusters community.. but as thats not likely to happen.. yay more money for CCP.
The interviews with some CCP employs were an interesting read too, and I was glad to hear mention in one of them that they know that the older ship models need updating, as many people have expressed on the forums!
The extra stuff like quotes from omgrawr were chosen well, blinkys comic was also good. The bit on the Evolution movie was cool, some nice pictures to drool at there, the model ships, 10 most popular ships (guess which is the most popular.. suicide alts 4tw!) those pictures of people being their avatars was actually pretty funny... theres just too much too comment on.
Basically, it was great, it all worked well, and left me wanting more, the people who worked on it did a great job!
(HAHA! Just seen that picture of a giant teddybear floating about a roid belt.)
(Also, the CCP people interviewed are scary looking :/)

There are still copies of EON Issue 1 available. I suggest people who've yet to do so get their orders in now because nearly 70% of the issues have been sold and when the rest go, that's it.
http://www.eve-online.com/eon/ - For credit card orders through the EVE Online Store
http://www.mmorg-shop.com/ - Credit card not required (German website)
As soon as we get down to the last few issues we'll issue a 'now or never' warning

Absolutely gorgeous!
Very impressed with the quaility of the images and the journalism. Havent read all of it yet, but I would highly recommend it.
I was a bit sceptical whether a 2D mag could bring anything to a 3D game like this, but my doubts have all vanished. Love it.
Only trouble is that the quality of the paper means it cant be recycled. Oh well, guess I will have to keep it :)

Well my copy of EON arrived this morning, and I've just finished giving it a good read. My verdict....EXCELLENT! Good behind the scenes interviews with some CCP staff. The carriers look to be an absolutely awesome new ship class that from the looks of it, a lot of people are going to be able to fly and fight in. The news about the Tech 2 Battleships and the possibilty of the Tier 3 BS's also was something to really look forward to(you'll have to read the magazine to get the full details), plus lots and lots more but I don't want to give too much away to people who havent read it yet.
On the whole I was really very impressed by the whole magazine and I will definitely be getting the next one when it comes out.

Dear {insert name here)
If you're reading this, then it's safe to assume you are a fan of eve. We hope that soon you will be a fan of E-ON too. Like EVE, this magazine is ongoing. This isn't some test-the-water special edition that we might follow up if the interest is there; E-ON will continue to chronicle the exploits of players, Corporations and alliances for as long as there are players willing to explore the frontiers of EVE itself.
It goes without saying that we'll be bringing you in-depth looks at upcoming game feature, the best new fiction from the best writers and in-depth player guides so you can get the best from you time in-game. What you may not appreciate is that E-ON's joruney is only just beginning, and if you think the magazine before you is good, you just wait for the next one. We have big plans. Secret plans, but big.
Which is why we hope you'll be staying with us for the long haul, this is the first instalment of your four-issue subscription; thanks for showing daith. We'll let you know when your sub is about to run out so you can ensure your don't miss and issue.
Enjoy the ride!
So yeah i found mine today as i got in from uni, just a quick flick through and ive seen the inside page ad by fix ( nice one guys ), and ads from ushra khan, and oberon-inc, a comic by winterblink; and something that really caught my eye, and ingame shot of the minimatar carrier! which looks remarkably like a ship from somewhere else but lets keep that one to myself. I'll go off reading it now, if you haven't already subscribed, what are you waiting for?

Received my copy this morning.
First up, while such details aren't really my cup of tea, it was sold as an collectors item, so I feel such things within the bounds of reasonable critique.
Condition: The cover (and pages) display numerous mild creases all over, especially along the spine. Laminated edges are rough all around, the worst being a small rip where the front cover and lamination are pulled downwards revealing the white paper innards in a shape likely left by a finger. Overall : a little tatty, difficult to describe it as being in "mint" condition.
Layout: While not leaving the bounds of being fairly readable, a lot of the text in the articles dissapears a little into the spine in a lot of the pages, leading to a bit of extra work to read it easily, I feel given how much of the layout can be described as "spacious", this was something which could have been avoided?, Otherwise the layout was excellent.
Content: I think this has been well covered, Will just Echo that trade tip #2 stands out as being a fact that hasn't been true for maybe a year to a year and a half casts a bit of doubt onto the accuracy of the rest of the article. Perhaps likewise, while the "popularity" figures given for the HAC's might be accurate historically, I would say they are wildly innacurate compared to actual ship demand of the last few months.
The "Super Size EVE" cover article, Well I don't think it would have gotten half as nice a job had it been a straight dev blog, it stands out to me as my favourite article certainly.

Hi Reatu, Keiron has explained this in a recent thread. Might be a few pages back by now, but basically E0N is shipped from a different company. The shipping tracker here at the site is linked to stuff shipped from the EVE Store. While ordering is handled from the EVE store on the website, the storing and shipping comes direct from the publisher. And I am not entirely sure that Magazines in the local post system can be tracked like a parcle anyway. But if you have an email with the order number, it is ordered and dropping a mail at the store reps just to double check is possible.
Good to see you still around Reatu. When you get your issue sent, be sure to look for an advert from a certain Freedom Fighting bunch.
Note to CCP: You might want to include that little bit of info on the order page in future. Or at least get a relay to the publisher where people can check that their issues have been shipped, be it here or at their own site.

hmm Don't have it yet (Belgium) but I can't seem to track my order either
Hi Reatu, Keiron has explained this in a recent thread. Might be a few pages back by now, but basically E0N is shipped from a different company. The shipping tracker here at the site is linked to stuff shipped from the EVE Store. While ordering is handled from the EVE store on the website, the storing and shipping comes direct from the publisher. And I am not entirely sure that Magazines in the local post system can be tracked like a parcle anyway. But if you have an email with the order number, it is ordered and dropping a mail at the store reps just to double check is possible.
Good to see you still around Reatu. When you get your issue sent, be sure to look for an advert from a certain Freedom Fighting bunch.
Note to CCP: You might want to include that little bit of info on the order page in future. Or at least get a relay to the publisher where people can check that their issues have been shipped, be it here or at their own site.
cheers mate and can't wait to see the advert

Just like to say that was one of the most enjoyable reads I've had in a while.
My only two complaints are that every article seemed to end in "More next issue!" and that the ISS advert wasnt the cover ;)
aside from that, two thumbs up! :)

Only read a few articles but a good mix of subjects, humour, artwork (amazing) and ideas.
My only concern is that you guys have burnt out on the first issue with all the "coming up" news - unless you come up with more goodies for us to drool over
Not a word against the mag from me.
This will be kept nice and flat and stored away from sunlight when I've finished.

Some may disagree, but I believe that one of CCPÆs strengths when it comes to Eve is the communication between developers and the community. This is precious, and possibly threatened by the growing player base: the more popular, the more voices, the greater the disconnect between dev and players can get. Maybe not necessarily so, but IÆm thinking that itÆs much easier to have a friendly relationship with a small group of enthusiasts than it is with a football stadium of people or an entire cityÆs population (thinking WoW size).
Where does EON fit in with the relationship between dev and community? Well, it has exclusivity. That could be a problem. Are we going to have people holding back in their dev blogs because they want to save some juicy information for the magazine? LetÆs face it, one of EONÆs selling points is that it has some exclusive content not available elsewhere, and IÆm fearful that this could lead to a split within the community between the haves and have-nots (yeah, all good capitalism, but I prefer the ruthless market dynamic to stay in the game, thanks), and to a scaling back of the familiar blogging and forum posts from the dev team.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at stars.

IÆm guessing that youÆre hoping for feedback thatÆs a little more informative than just blind praise, so IÆll try and come up with some kind of review.
In terms of presentation, this magazine has absolutely nailed it. Quite often when I read games magazines, thereÆll be comments by a reviewer telling us how gorgeous the graphics are. Sometimes the captions for screenshots will highlight the graphical quality. Yet the screenshots used look like they were captured in 640 x 320 resolution with anti-aliasing turned off then expanded to suit the layout of the page. So many times have I seen a total lack of justice being handed down in this department. That is emphatically not the case with EON. Every single image is high-res, in proportion, crystal clear, and abso-frikkin-lutely beautiful, man! The paper is decent quality glossy stuff that doesnÆt leave ink on your hands, and yes, the cover is extremely glossy indeed.
So far, so good. IÆve got the mag out of its wrapper and IÆve leafed through it just enjoying the images and the feel of it. I havenÆt enjoyed unwrapping something quite as much as this since I bought an iPod. This is all superficial stuff though; we all know that itÆs the writing that really counts. It doesnÆt disappoint on this score, either. If you skim a little of the cream from the top of these forums add a dash of experienced games journo and mix in high production values to taste then youÆve got a decent magazine on your hands.
There are several pieces of fiction on offer including no less than two stories from HellGremlin/Istvaan Shogatsu, which explains the interminable wait for the next instalment of the Hamish Saga I suppose. Yes, that is a mild criticism thereàWe also get a new comic from Winterblink. Given that there are a number of reasonably talented fiction writers involved with Eve, I think we can expect this area of the magazine to continue mining a rich vein of form. It also gives rise to a concern, however, and my principle criticism. These stories, once published, form part of the Eve æcanonÆ û the game background that is so essential to trying to understand our world, and our charactersÆ motivations. Yet a growing chunk of background isnÆt going to be available to all players û especially newer players trying to suck up as much background as possible û unless they are subscribers. I sincerely hope that eventually these stories are added to the online collection of chronicles.
I donÆt know why, but IÆm a born proofreader. I can sometimes see spelling mistakes or typos on a page without even reading the text û a missing apostrophe is like a big flashing sign on the page, unless IÆve written it myself, in which case all the errors suddenly become invisible. My point is that there are one or two typographical errors that have managed to creep in, but this is pure nitpicking and will probably only bother that small percentage of us that really notice this sort of thing. Maybe I should get a part time job proofreading or something.
The focus is mostly on the players and that is the right focus I think. As Zapatero says in his editorial, æEve Online is its players.Æ I liked the interviews, but there is a risk that they will seem horribly out of date by the time the magazine rolls off the printing presses. The example that really caught my eye was the interview with Trigger:
æToday MASS is no longer a part of any alliance. For Trigger, territory is of little concern.Æ
Recent events with the reformation of Stain Alliance (or is it still Allaince?) make this look a bit silly. Even the advertising is great û how many magazines have full page ads for terrorist organisations, uh, freedom fighters I mean?

From the US here and I don't plan on getting my copy until this Saturday or upcoming Monday. I sure hope it's before Monday because I have school until 6pm that day. I think I'm going to make a promise to myself to read the mag only while on the toilet since I don't want to cover the whole experience in a span of one day since it won't be another 3 months until I have my hands on the second issue. Part of me is really down on the fact that I spent 17.95 (for those of us in the states) on a magazine! Then again, I am also happy to support the game of Eve financially to make sure it stays here ever so bit longer.
What I would recommend is making the magazine come out once every 2 months instead. I unstand how the magazine is suppose to prep us for the next expansion in some sense, but I think most of those who have subsribed wouldn't mind paying 9.95 for a magazine that shows up 6 times a year. There is more than enough content available.

Mine turned up yesterday in the post and I would have read it earlier if I hadn't been asked out to a young lady's birthday drinking session after work (OMG real life intervened!!!). I read it at about 2am but decided to wait a bit before seeing if there was a "review" thread.
Have to say it makes some of the classic car magazines I read look pitiful in terms of how it works with the subject. And the quality is just ... WOW!!!
Exchange Rate and Bedtime Story were up to a certain writer's usual high standards I felt and more than explains the delay in Hamish Saga chapter 7. When I read the opening profile I saw "soft cuddly side" and thought "God no what's happened!!!". Exchange Rate was excellent and very dark and the closing line rounds it off nicely. Bedtime Story does start off all cute and fuzzy compared to the darker side of the author's persona we have been exposed to but there is a lesson to be learnt here ... make your choice of interstellar transport more wisely! The closing two paragraphs seem to me like the dark side of fate gently chuckling in the background as you close out with the most unlikely of objects making it through to the end of the story ...
Nice to see WDA making a showing too, does this mean Urban might get a few more guest strips when Winterblink goes off to pen something for EON?
I felt DigitalCommunist's review article was worth a read too even though I already have made my choice about an HAC.
Worth the money compared to other magazines I buy (NO not THAT type )? Definitely. Glad I payed for the full year subscription? HELL YEAH!
Have a good one and hope it shows up Soon for the overseas customers.

It was thinner than I axpected on first glance too, but reading it, it was all substance and zero fat.
And I just loved Bedtime Story too. God knows why, but as soon as those ships started mining it... omg I could not stop laughing. I don't know if I am supposed to laugh or go 'Aww, such a shame' or whatever. But to me it was the funnyest ending I had read to anything.
One note though, I expected there to be some pics and concept art of the Titans in the cover story. (Just dying to know what the Amarr/Caldari ones look like) Though plenty to chew on there in the text, so nice job.
Still have to read Exchange Rate and Are You Clonesome Tonight, but if they are as good as the other two, that will be a treat worth waiting for.

Im in the north of scotland, got my copy 2day, thanks Royal mail.
Not that bad a mag, loved the info on Titans, Carriers and other "oversized" ships, nice concept drawings. More info on the possible next batch of BS/BCs would have been nice though. Thought the HAC comparrison and items on trading were good. Not read the stories as yet.
But and its a big but. Its not really worth the cash i had to fork out for it. For the money it cost id have expected the mag to have been at least twice the size it was and hard back. Nothing that is in it really couldnt have been added to this website and the forums had ccp wanted.
Im inclined to give it 5/10, nice content, worth having the 1st edition for,but im not sure if id bother with copies thereafter. Depends how flush i am at the time i guess.

There is a brand of tampons available in the UK called EVE. Perhaps we could arrange a deal with them?
Somehow the CD sounds more appealing Zapatero Perhaps it could contain the artwork/music/videos from the site? Not sure what you'd put on the subsequent discs though, perhaps a dev selection of files from eve-file.com?
I'm about 1/4 way though the first issue and so far it's good. I like the style of writing, it's engaging and wants you to read on, even when you have lots of work to do Scribe Wanoah has identified a couple of good points about the small margin and a couple of typo's, but overall a very good read so far.

Nice review, and valid concerns. With regards to the Chronicles, it's likely (but not definite) that the EON Chronicles from Issue 1 will be posted online when Issue 2 ships.
Heh, now I've seen (and stroked...mmm, shiny) the magazine, I realise that it would be quite special to have contributed in some way. Just the remote possibility of that happening is a decent incentive to get some writing going rather than forum-bashing half the evening while I'm at work. Sounds like a good plan with the Chronicles. While I'm not the complete bleeding heart liberal, I hate to think of some of my fellow players being disadvantaged.
Originally by: Istvaan Shogaatsu
I'm working on it. Any thoughts on the fiction pieces themselves?
Fishing for compliments? Just kidding - I know what it's like when you've written something and you're waiting for feedback. Part of the fun of writing fiction is seeing how people respond to it. I'll have a go at reviewing the four chronicles we have, but you'd need a harsher critic than me if you want really useful criticism to work with. Maybe someone should set up an Eve Writer's group or something.
Exchange Rate reminded me of many of the threads we get right here in General Discussion. Anyone that regularly visits the forums will be familiar with this type of thread. A relatively new player, possibly a refugee from one of those other MMOs, posts about losing his precious ship and how he doesn't understand the mentality of his killers. It's understandable: faced with your own death; killed for no apparent reason; it's only natural to ask, 'Why? Why me?'
Within minutes, dozens of the hardcore PvPers will have responded with comments that range between, 'Haha, noob!' to more helpful suggestions on how to survive better in the future. Some hardline carebears will stir up the flames a little by questioning the parentage, mental age, and sexuality of all pirates in Eve û pirates being the term you use to describe anyone who shoots at another player in their eyes. Fundamentally, what these threads are about is this: some people misunderstand the nature of Eve. Completely miss the point.
What we have here is a distillation of what so many players experience. We gasp in amazement at the beauty. We look on in awe as mighty battleships make slow progress towards the gate, and with an afterburner envy as interceptors flash past and are gone before we've even managed to find the approach icon on our displays. Our ideas of combat are idealistic. They take on the appearance of chivalric contests of strength as two equally matched opponent fight for honour. Hah! The awakening is rude. The galaxy is harsh and unforgiving and you have to have the measure of those qualities if you want to make it out here. Combat is a series of calculated manoevres to try and bring overwhelming firepower to bear on a helpless target. Or as close to helpless as you can manage.
Exchange Rate should, perhaps, be required reading for new players. Or maybe we should just carry on letting them discover the truth about Eve on their own. It's worked pretty well so far.
Legionnaire is a pacey action story. The author does just enough to build up some tension and sketch out his main characters before launching into battle. This fits with the rest of the Eve Chronicles very nicely indeed. There's the familiar bleakness of the setting, the characters are weary, hard, bitter veterans fighting to survive or na´ve rookies destined for failure and death. In this case, permadeath - unlike the rebirth we are used to as rich people with clone contracts. More on that later.

I always enjoy the chronicles that only loosely relate to events or places in game. This could well be the background story to one of those interminable agent missions where you deliver some marines somewhere-or-other. One possible complaint about Eve is that the galaxy can seem a little lifeless without us in it. Chronicles like this one do their bit to expose the hidden lives that are all around us, yet seemingly invisible to us. Once again, there is emphasis on the thousands of crew lost in a space battle û a most welcome addition to convince all those doubters that think we all fly alone in our ships. We don't. We have crew; so do our enemies; we are all mass murderers û deal with it!
I have one criticism, though, and that's just that there isn't enough of the story here. What we have feels like it has been culled from a much bigger story. I'm sure it's intentional to give a snapshot into the daily life of Mordu's Legion, but it does leave the reader hanging, and waiting for part two. Just what was it that Mordu wanted from the Guardian Angel base? Who was Mordu taking orders from? Now, I vaguely remember some news items relating to Mordu a while back, so if this chronicle ties in with a long story arc that is going to see some resolution in the game itself in weeks or months to come then that will be fantastic. I really hope that it works out, but the recent track record with storyline events hasn't been exactly stellar, so I won't bank on it, and I could, of course, be completely wrong on this score anyway.
Ever wondered what cloning facilities are like? Are You Clonesome Tonight? gives you an idea. I get the feeling from reading this that cloning stations are viewed more in the same way we view mortuaries or funeral homes today than in the way we view medical facilities. Even the fact that the stations coyly refer to 'medical facilities' when you look at the station menu hints at euphemism used to disguise uglier truth. If we think of a morgue with a slight shudder, then we tend to view the people that work in these places with a confused mixture of admiration (ôI just don't know how anyone could do that job!ö) suspicion (ôYou've gotta be a sick necro, right?ö) and just plain disgust (ôEwww! Dead people!ö)
Here we have an illustration of one of the slightly creepy people that work in these places. He finds himself drawn to one of the waiting bodies, waiting for it's owner's mind. The morgue parallel holds true here: there are all sorts of disturbing areas of discussion that you can poke a stick into when it comes to cloning, and as an owner of a clone contract myself, it's these areas of discussion that I'd rather avoid most of the time. It goes back to the same question: ôWhat happens when I die?ö Well, from a functional point of view your corpse ends up in a morgue in real life, and morticians work on your corpse to make it look presentable for your friends and family to view before you're put six feet under or burnt to a crisp. In Eve, you wake up confused, naked, and vulnerable in a new body.

So, those clones. They give us the promise of eternal youth (or eternal late middle-age for those Amarr freaks). They give us a chance of something approaching immortality as long as we never leave our pods (and what a trade-off that is). What do the clones get out of it? They are our bodies, grown in a vat, just waiting for us to screw up again and have our minds decanted into them. Without us, they are nothing. The uncomfortable thought is, what if they are more than a spare body waiting for our minds to give them true life? What if they have some small spark of spirit, some vestige of personality of their own before impose our own personalities on them? Should they in fact have some rights? What might these vestigial personalities do to us over time, multiplied by maybe dozens of clones in a lifetime? In short, we don't know. Even the remote possibility that our clones might be something more than an empty vessel is disturbing. Not so disturbing that I'm giving up my high grade clone though!
So, what we see in Are You Clonesome Tonight is something akin to anthropomorphism. A lonely man, working in a profession that is guaranteed to keep him lonely, projecting a personality onto one of the clones in his keeping. Sad. Sometimes, you have to wonder whether anyone finds happiness in Eve. There is so much loss and despair recounted in the collected chronicles now that you wonder if there is any hope left at all.
Thankfully, Bedtime Story finds Istvaan in a more playful mood. The story of an ark ship, hollowed out of an asteroid, travelling for five centuries to return to the parts of the galaxy that we all know and love, starts off with that same wistful, sombre tone that we regularly encounter in these stories. Then, there's something of a shift in tone... There's some familiar themes here that most of the Eve community, especially those of us that are forum regulars will recognise, and one or two in-jokes. I don't want to say too much about the story as I wouldn't want to spoil it for people. I'll just say that it made me smile, and leave it at that.

AS an upcoming conceptual artist and graphics designer I was very interested in the layout and design of the magazine (the content was fantastic too though!).
I thought the design feel of the mag was extremely professional, and looked highly polished. The layouts were logical, ordered and accessible and the colours in the mag really brought the EVE feel to life!
Congrats to all who made it possible!
Excellent work

I hope you don't mind me asking... but what kind of employer would confiscate your property? Under some circumstances I could imagine that one receives a warning for such sort of 'misconduct' but to confiscate property seems to me a very wrong thing to do for the average employer

He can confiscate it while you are at work, but when you go you have a right to ask for it back or it is theft that you can report him for to a labor rights group. Sure you should not be reading while working, but taking your property indefinately is never a legal form of disciplinary action either.

Hmm, have you actually registered though? The store is a little funny that way. You can order without having registered. Kinda fragmented there. Use the Customer Registration if you haven't done that, and enter the email address you used to purchase the mag when registering.
Thats about all the advice I have though.

Okay I have to ask, should I have gotten my copy if I'm West Coast US?
I went to check my order but the EVE store didnt remember me so I had to re-register, yet I have my bank statement that shows I paid for E-ON on the date I remember placing it 8-23-05 or if you prefer 23-08-05.
(And I know it was E-On because I bill my game account with a differnt card.)
I'm worried if the order didnt process even though I was billed by the time they figure it out there wont be any more copies left.

I already purchased on EVE Store (the collector CD), and received:

Glad to see I'm not the only one in the Netherlands that feels about ready to molest the mailma... um... hasn't received the mag yet.
I don't mind the lag in Jita and Rens, but this is unbearable.

'Europeans may expect their Magazines before the 6th of October'
It's the ninth now and I'm European. Still no Mag.
Store says my e-mail isn't recognized.
The confirmation mail is in my inbox.
My credit card has been charged.
So where is my magazine?

E-ON is FANTASTIC!!!!! WOOT11111
Very high production values, very professional. From the atrwork, presentation, articles, news, even the ads got me excited. It makes EvE that much more alive - I'm trying to read it as slowly as I can so I don't exhaust all my excitement at once
Great work to all that were invloved, I'll definately be subscribing

With other subscriptions you get a nice goody, like a bag, parfume or with game mags a cd rom is common. Idea for next issue? Hint Hint Hint Hint Hint, please please please please with sugar on top?
If there were to be a bonus "freebie" give-away with the mag, I'd love it to be some in-game bonus - eg. access to a unique mission or complex, perhaps a free/discounted BPO/BPC or skill-book, perhaps a token of some kind that could be converted into LPs with any agent.
Any RL give-away would have to be:
(1) physically very small (eg. CD at the very largest) as anything too large probably wouldn't make it all the way around the other side of the globe and/or would cost a fortune to post; and
(2) should be durable to survive the postal system; and
(3) shouldn't be something that has to be folded to fit with the mag (eg. a poster with fold creases is not the way to go - we like our posters big and flat and without fold-lines).
That means that any RL give-away would not be cheap.
Personally, I'll buy the mag irrespective of whether there's any bonus give-away (although I really like the idea of some bonus LPs).
BTW, and not unexpectedly, still no sign of E-ON in Australia.

I also haven't got it and can't track my order. This has been a huge problem for many of us and I would like to know what is being done to correct the problem. I have written customer support about this and I would advise everyone who is experiencing this difficulty do the same.The system also does not recognize my email even though i have recieved the email confirmation. Incredibly frustrating.

Hmmm, these postal issues are a bit of a concern, however I would urge you not to start pulling hairs quite yet, although if you haven't received your copy by the end of the week then you'd be within your rights to complain. This is something we're going to have to look at before #2 rolls off the presses.
With regard to order tracking, be aware that EON distribution is handled seperatelely from other items in the EVE Store and magazine orders cannot be tracked as they can with an express mail service like DHL, so please be patient. If you've been charged, you will receive.

Just promise us that, in light of EON Issue #2, you won't call an ETA anymore
Making promises will lead to rising expectations which in turn will without doubt lead to more disappointments

I think it referrs to low sec space with no concord presence and easy-to-tank gate guns.
As for the sec hit, they should still get it even in a gang if they are not in your corp, but only in empire space. 0.0 space = no sec hit.
At least thats what I would understand from my past experience when a gang mate with a 0.0 sec rating shot one of us by accident. He was in a different corp, got hit by concord and lost -0.1 sec status or something.

Well that's the magazine out of the way so here is a complaint. Customer service. Has their e-mail address changed? I sent an enquiry over a week ago to it and as yet, have not recieved a reply.

It arrived... Worth the wait... Looks good. Nice mixture of articles and fiction. I hope that continues... Loved the "Corp adverts" :) but what the mag needs is a "Classified" area where smaller corps and individuals can place adverts offering their services or their goods...
Would also like to see some Hardware sections looking at various system set-ups that can get the most from EVE... Graphic card Mobo reviews that sort of thing.... And also freak systems, articles about users who have freak 10 monitor set-ups and such like...
But yeah, interesting read. Not done it all yet, had an eyebrow read at the china news, interesting developement there... Looking forward to reading about Kali later....

No sign of mag in my mailbox either (Slovenia).
It seems that those, who ordered first will get it last -- I ordered mine avgust 28th.
Btw, if you will include some important stuff into future mags, this should not happen again. Some ppl have like a week of advantage before others.
I suppose my postman will be surprised how warm wellcome will get when he shows up with my copy (no dog for you today ;)

The tracking information is for tracking it IF you ordered through a store account. I'm willing to wager that most of us never ordered anything through the store before and consequently had not created an account and instead just paid for it directly. This is why our tracking information shows as invalid.
I wonder how long it'll take the mag to arrive here in Hawaii...hopefully sometime before this weekend.

It's nice. I love the high quality of the pages and covers. I also love that there are no ads inside the magazine. However I thought it lacked a certain substance to the articles. Specifically the articles on Navigation, Trading and HAC's. It wasen't anything that I could'nt find online if I wanted to. Could have used some more depth. Aside from that I loved the magazine.

I don't know why, but I was slightly disappointed. The art was awesome, so were the chronicles. The Carrier/Titan article had me wanting more (even though they won't be the drone-hive monstrosities I hoped they'd be). Very pleased to see the Evolution movie and WildCard (lol bob) getting a small article. i have no idea why I was like, hmm.
Probably coz it wasn't as huge as it should've been :p

Does anybody know how they mail the mag? Does it go airmail or normal by donkey route?
If so then i'll have to get the Portugese Drug barons to ship it down in their caravels to down here in za.
That or fund a "Discovery" mission from the top of the nile to the bottom of the victoria falls.
baah i just want my mag but i have a feeling it's gonna take a while compared to the rest of the world.

Got mine just now, and I've got to say its way more professional than most game magazines I've seen. It has a lot to do with the composition, and quality of the images.
First thing I turned to was the HAC guide and was blown away by the nice high-resolution multi camera-angle shots.. definitely makes me look forward to seeing the next one.
The information was good, there was a lot more covered than one would expect. Its not a printed dev blog like a lot of nay-sayers seem to be harping on about. For one, most of the content is community generated.. the titans/carriers article (albeit a main feature) was the only thing to go into any detail about actualy Eve Online development.
Being the rabid fan that I am, I would have wanted to see stats, model renders, names, skill requirements, and build costs since most of the philosophy behind the capital ships isn't "new" to me. But I can see where this could create problems.. bunch of people ranting on the forums about ship stats for ships that dont even exist yet :P
For me personally, greatest attraction was the concept art and detailed drawings. You simply can't get stuff like that anywhere.. worth the money for that alone, if you enjoy playing EVE for its visuals. Highly dissapointed there wasn't a Gallente carrier concept art, or even any titans (since I understand they will be redone?), but the Naglfar pics balanced it out :D
One last thing I'll comment on is Nathan Richardsson stating Titans and Carriers will definitely come in before 2006 (holidays are big for mmos too..), but Kali is scheduled for 2006. If theres only one content patch between CW and Kali (scheduled for this november early-dec) then how does that work? Will we get Titans/Carriers in with tech 2 bc/dest/bs or will Kali actually make it in for 2005?
Perpetually driven, your end is our beginning.

I got my mag on time. It's great and would have loved it to be twice the size it is...
With my magazine though someone elses address label was stuck behind mine. So this might be a recurring problem for other people.
I have notified the person in question and they have taken steps to notify the distributors. If other people have not had theirs, this might be why.

I received my mag in France a few days ago (sometime around October 8th or 9th). I was really impressed by the quality of the printing, illustrations, design, and the overall look of the mag. Very nice.
The content has some goods and bads. The trading and navigation guides are either written for complete newbies (who, I think, are not very likely to buy an EVE-only 15$ mag), or written for dumb people. I expect the 2nd part of the trading guide to be a little more complex. The Heavy Cruiser Assault guide looks good, but I don't know anything about fitting or PvP, so I wouldn't know (and hey, that's why there's such a guide in the first place).
The rest is okay.
I'll be certainly buying issue 002 before considering a subscription.

Don't worry guys, you'll get them. Mine was a bit delayed too. Remember, that these magazines have to navigate your respective country's postal service to get to you, which as you well know, is usually a howling inescapable vortex of eldritch madness from whence gibbering cries of anguish issue.

Received the magazine a few days ago (I'm in The Netherlands) and knew I was holding something special the minute I picked it up. Took a while to read it and I must say I'm simply stunned by what a high quality publication this is, it's so much better than what I had even dared hoping for! Excellent articles, amazing artwork, teriffic stories, beautiful lay-out and all of that on glossy paper. The 'thanks for the faith' message for subscribers also put a smile on my face. My most sincere congratulations and a huge thank-you to everyone involved... I'm blown away. Can't wait for the next one!

I'm glad I'm not alone in my wait. I wonder if any Canadians have received there copy.
I have a few complaints about the service so far. It wasn't until I read a post in the forum that I understood why I couldn't track my order. I wrote customer support directly and the only response i got was that my email was being forwarded to someone else. I think we should have got an email stating that we would not be able to track our orders! or at least a form response from customer support when they were contacted.
Who do we contact if we don't receive our orders?? I'm getting concerned I pre-ordered this mag and according to some posters they ordered after the 1st and have received their mags.
If you want more subsribers you will have to address this issue. At least provide us with a place to ask questions about our order.
Might I suggest that you ship those orders that will take longer first. This will help mitigate against long delays.Also please don't ask for feedback until the mags have been received. It drives those who haven't got it insane to read the spoilers and gloating from those who have got it. I recognize that this is the first issue so I guess a few logistical problems are to be expected. I will order the next issue but if these problems are not addressed then I will not subscribe or order again.

The magazines were sent from the UK via priority air mail and received by the mail delivery organisations who distribute, sort and deliver mail whereever you happen to live. I'm shocked and sorry it has taken so long, but I'm utterly confident that those who are still waiting *will* get their orders before too soon.
I'm afraid we are all at the mercy of our local postal network on this. Rest assured the wait for #2 won't be nearly as frustrating.

Only thing I want to "nag" about is that there are several places where the text is 90 degrees offset from normal reading for example the page with the summary of the heavy assult cruisers. This is cumbersome and can be avoided by using more pages. Otherwise I just love it, will be ordering more issues for sure.

Hi everyone,
Having read the first issue, I loved the content, As a magazine Art editor for 10 years I found the design some what lacking.(and yes I'm a picky sod)
1. Front Cover, as this is not a newsstand title, and is sold via the website, why bother putting words on the cover?, the sell comes from the website. (A wasted oportunity?)
2. The cover logo, shoved to the left? with enormous black space on the right, with a curious blob sitting between the main image and the logo, srry but it looks just so wrong. plus why is the blob copy aligned to the left?
3. Cover image, though nice, the other dummy covers you show seem to have more focus, the titan should have been the most imposing part of the cover, it ain't.
4. On the cover, Why use upper case fonts? Lower case lends to be more friendly, and helps structure the coverlines easier. with all the cover lines on the cover in upper case, your effectively shouting at the reader.
5.Typography is more than using regular/light and bold wieghts, the E-0N upfront section, lacked the following, as a report /news where is the structure? which story should I read first, which one should stand out? and be the lead for the section.
6.Mixing left and right justification, try and use it sparingly, English reads better from the left, ragged lines are harder to read, this applys for the cover and inside, for example the eds intro is difficult to read ( And dont get me started about having reversed out copy)
7.By making the reader consistantly rotating the magazine to read mini bio or tables etc, ain't clever, and it didnt make me want to read it
8.Column widths, as a general rule no colunm should be longer than 10 words, I found cetain colunms widths obtrusive for me to finish reading them, This is a magazine not a book.
9. Poor navigation exampe on P16, why is the intro of the interview stuck in the lower left of the page? I started reading the interview first.
10.The Story content is excellent, let down again by clumbsy design, one of the biggest rules to follow as a designer, is not to let the design get in the way of content. over embelishing pages with overlapping columns is not clever, it creates obtrusive dog legs, for the reader who wants to read words.
11. This mag suffers from "designery white space" acres of it, white space there because its cool, this isnt great design.
Overall the design feels rushed, while the editorial content is great!
Hopefully issue 2 will have a happier marriage of design and editorial.

What a scam EON has been, feed our important players in Europe, screw the US.
They have had it in some places for a week now. CCP this sux, I mean WTF, total BS.
If it doesn't show up tomorrow I'm going to cancel my YEAR subscription, period.
Somebody needs to Edit the Wiki for EVE, CCP = Couldn't Care People.
Oh btw go ahead and DEL this because I know you are not tough enough to handle the truth. |

I also ordered a year's subscription but this shipping situation NEEDS to be fixed. Figure out a way to either let us pay a few dollars more for FEDEX 3-day worldwide shipping or something. The price for shipping was already really high for a magazine, and yet it is almost 2 weeks later and still no magazine here in NC.
Please figure out something better for the next go-round!

Yeah, because the US Postal Service is just a shining paragon of reliability. The mailmen are certifiable, the letters give you anthrax, and that's when they don't get lost in the mail system for 60 years. Don't be so quick to blame CCP ;)

If you had bothered reading the topic you'd seen that lots of people in Europe haven't received the mag yet. I guess the "OMGZCRY" button was too shinny though.

Yeah, blame CCP, and ignore the national postal services :D
As Istvaan said, it's of course logical to blame a company that has nothing to do with in country delivery.
And to the one who mentioned fed-ex - they can say what they want, they don't deliver anywhere.... Never seen any van around here, or advert, for that matter.

It would've been way better if CCP had not set our expectations so high. Perhaps an official statement from them that would read something like this:
"While we can understand your fustration for waiting so long, we donÆt have any idea when you will receive your Premier issue of EON, therefore you just need to remember that you will get it when we are damn well ready to release it and then you will have to wait a fortnight for your suck <bleep> national postal service to decide when they want to deliver it.ö
Little axiom of business that will lead to success, under promise and over deliver.

I sell on eBay and Amazon all the time. We use the USPS. They don't "suck", they are actually a very reliable and expedient. Price for pound they are the winner and they are still the market leader in this country

Well, got mine yesterday.
I liked the IC discussions with pod-pilots and the 'adverts' for in-game alliances & services, but I have to say that overall I'm disappointed.
It's very *shiny*, but frankly I found it to be extremely lightweight for the cost and for my liking there was too much on the chronicles/fiction side. Price I guess will be high because it is very much a 'niche' product.
No real hard stories about what's going on or has gone on in Eve, and while the 'beginners guide to...' parts were informative enough I suppose, how many people getting this magazine are complete newbies that don't know what a BM is...?
Ah well, I subscribed for a year - looking forward to issue #2 anywayz

Content: Very Good, not gonna spoil what was in it for the ones who didn't have it.
Quality - price: Very BAD
-One thing what in my oppinion is unacceptable is on the last page a commercial from Alienware. Who the hell puts that on a collectors item!!! and on a 15$ magazine?
-The quality of the cover is the one of a regular magazine here in belgium, and is not what i expexted at all from a 15$ magazine. a carton cover really would have made it a collectors item. now its 'just' an expensive magazine.
when my subscription ends and they still have no stronger cover i'm quiting it very honestly. contenwise very nice magazine ok, but when i pay 15dollars for 65 pages i want it to be properly protected.
For postal services wise..., i'd say a 2weeks waiting period isn't to long if i read the forums here. this is not CCP's fault, just an underestimated problem from local postal distribution. i had a letter once from america in 2days to belgium here, sometimes its 3weeks, dont ask me why, it just happens.
anyway, i'd like to say keep going on the mag good work, but you need much more improvement on the durability factor imo. whats the use of printing on HQ paper if thats not protected?
just my 2cents,
Jude Law out,
Peace!

i absolutely loved it, my favourite bits were definatly the extra chronicles, exchange rate especially. Bed-time stories was just weird though
only extra thing i can think of which would be nice (besides being cheaper!) would be have some form of identification on the spine, so that i can put it up on my shelf and be able to find it quickly.

The post man dropped my copy off today. My first impression was "wow really nice cover art."
Flipped threw ended up on the inside back cover and my my, Evol movie ad.
I think all the corp ads are cool as well.
Winterblink way to go, its nice to have you in the community.
Im a slow reader and a re-reader so It will take me about a week to actually get through the mag proper.
Nice job all around, Im glad I went ahead and ordered.
I would like to have more pages in the mag though. With that in mind Super Sizing Eve will prolly make me happy. More more more...

Ok now that I've received (took longer then I was expecting but it did arrive) and read the magazine a couple of times I am ready to provide some feedback. As far as the content goes I thought the fiction, HAC article, player advertisements, and Titan/Carrier sections were well done. I will definitely order #2 because the content by and large is what I'm looking for in an Eve mag.
I do have a few suggestions for improvements. I would have preferred to see a couple of setup examples for the HAC's (I realize there is a lot of variety here but a couple examples of either typical or unorthodox setups would have made for better read and would have also lead to some interesting forum discussions) perhaps for future articles this can be incorporated.
I was a little dissappointed Kaaii's article was just a rewrite of "her" original trading 101 post in the marketplace discussion forum. I learned the trade from that post and have since referred countless new players to that forum thread. Bottom line I was hoping for some new material in the mag. and I hope this section in issue 2 will not be a rehash of the second half of that original post since most, if not all, traders (even noob traders) have read it.
The Charts and bio info. printed sideways I would like to see changed as well. I hate having to turn my magazine on its side (unless there's a quafe queen centerfold or something).
Cover: I agree with the poster who pointed out that the written material on the cover detracts from the beautiful artwork. Since it is not a retail mag. the script there is not necessary. On p66 the covers without the typeface look far more more appealing and worthy of collecting.
Overall a great first effort. A few little tweaks here and there are all that are required to make it even better. Hopefully the next issue will be longer as well. I look to forward to reading it!
P.S. I have full confidence in Zapatero and crew that the shipping issues will be less of a problem with the next issue.

My copy arrived some time ago, just had time to finish reading it. I was very impressed with it overall, especially liked the short stories. The concept art for the new capital ships were brill, really nice to look at. Incidentally, is there any way to get an electronic version of the concept art, itd make a superb windows wallpaper. :)
Only problem was that on the front cover there was a thumb print melted into it, like someone picked it up before it was finished.

For issue 2, can we please have an option to upgrade delivery to express/airmail?
At this rate (it's the 17th now), PDF versions of the mag will start appearing before the real thing.

hmmmm. "05-10 London, Sheffield, West Sussex all UK"
If my copy was posted on the 5th its deffo lost as I still havn't had it. If I told CCP that i'd posted my subscription cheque of the 5th and they still hadn't got it im sure they would have closed my account by now. Post in the UK takes 1-2 days 1st class or 2-5 days second class. Its now been 12 days. What do I now need to do??
If I have no response by Friday i shall be contacting my credit card company and asking for a refund.

Could we have a small update as to what's happening with the shipping ?
I know CCP can't do anything about it physically since it's out of their hands, but perhaps they could get some info from the organisation(s) used for the handling and shipping ?
I'm sure each and every one of us who religiously check their mailboxes every day would be very grateful for it

One of the pages of my e-on has not been printed properly
see here and here and also here (most content is hidden )
So I would be grateful if someone could scan the bottom of that page and send me it. Or if thats not allowed I am happy to have another copy of eon sent! (save one for mint edition to sell on ebay in 50years time)
Also
"and just to give some motivation, we've decided to award all ur entries for this issue with an EVE T-shirt."
Have theses people been contacted yet? what tshirt are we getting?

CCP has pioneered a new magazine concept for MMORPG Fanzines:
THE DREADED VAPORZINE.
Definition of the word Vaporzine (1)
Vaporzine /vay'-per-zeen/ n. [origin: rexblog adaptation from the ancient geek word vaporware.]
1. An idea for a magazine announced far in advance of its actual launch (or shipping date) (which may or may not actually take place).
2. Any ideas that are leaked to reporters by a media company that is actively researching the prospect of creating a new magazine concept.

Oregon, USA here. No magazine yet. Overpromising Underdelivering. Or in this case- NOT delivering. Was told I'd get my mag on the 9th, when that didn't happen you guys said to wait til Saturday the 15th. Saturday has come and gone and Monday is here with no mag.
I just hate to think how much money you guys will missout on by making many of those in the United States and other parts of the world upset and impatient because this whole shipping scheme wasn't well executed. Blame it on the postal service all you want, but I recieved things off Ebay in less than a week that are worth atleast 3 times to cost of this magazine.
If I'm going to pay an ubsurd amount I expect to get my dollars worth. This includes getting the magazine on time. Next time, just tell us the magazine should arrive a month later than you expect, so instead of aggravating some of us you are actually pleasantly suprising us. Gee, what a thought!

Still nothing here in Australia. I frequently order stuff from O/S (cause you cant get jack squat in my town without ordering) and it should not take this long to get a mag from Europe. Maybe from the US to Australia (what is up with the UPS?)....... but thats another issue. It is fast approaching 3 weeks. If this is the case for each issue.... I dont think I will bother getting "the inside scoop" as I have a feeling the goss will be on the web before I get my damn mag.

Okay, let me try this again minus the innocent prediction that obviously had my post deleted in entirety.
(1) Was EON sent to Australia by surface mail?
(2) Can we please have an "upgraded delivery option" where we can pay an extra amount to have the next 3 issues sent by airmail or express delivery?
Please understand that sending anything to Australia (whether large or small) from Europe (or the USA) by ship (ie. those big slooooow metal things that go to sea) is courting disaster and can often lead to delivery times of up to 3 months.

Just received mine in Canada, looks AWESOME!!!!! Definitely pro-mag job.
BUT
For such a nice collector's item, you'd think they'd at least stick a piece of hard cardboard backing to prevent bending and damage, the plastic baggy covering was too thin, so mine actually looks used right out of the bag :( so I'll need to order another one and take my chances on receiving a "mint" one.

.....
As said before, they have been sent via Airmail.
Thank you Xrak, I had (until now) missed the post about EON having been sent from the UK by airmail. Cheers mate.
However, I am very confused as to why airmail post from the UK to Australia would not have already arrived. Airmail post between the UK and Aus is usually very quick and very reliable. Likewise, "Australia Post" is also fairly quick and reliable.
I am still very interested to know whether we might please have an "upgraded delivery option" where we can pay an extra amount to have the next 3 issues sent by a faster / more reliable delivery method?
EDIT: To adjust for my extreme frustration with this situation.
I just want to add that my E-ON which arrieved this monday here in Finland seem to have been posted in Zurich Switzerland. So it seems that not all E-ON mags have been sent from the UK. Maybe this is the cause for all the different delivery delays?
Oh, btw. The magazine is great and I would very much like an option in the subscription pages to order the rest of the magazines for the year. But as it is now you can only order all four issues, including the one I'm holding, or just the current issue.

Oh, and yes, E-ON has shipped!
If it takes two weeks to arrive from UK to Finland something is seriously wrong. Did they use mule caravans to ship the magazine?
About the mag. Haven't read it all yet (at about page 25 currently) but some preliminary thoughts:
1. Paper quality is very good
2. Likewise print quality, the ink doesn't smudge. (Of course this might be because of the long shipping. The ink had enough time to dry)
3. Colors are nice, bright.
4. Pictures and text associated with the pictures were sometimes quite far apart (too far).
5. Some typos. Proofreader wake up.
6. The article about the GHSC heist was a bit odd. No indication if it was a letter-to-the-editor, an editorial piece or what, it felt rather like a rant (albeit a mild one) we had about the heist here in the forums. It lacked proper headings and author data.
7. The 'china' piece was enlightening. It showed to me that the threads about the china-shard on the forums have been blown out of proportions.
8. Capitalship piece lacked screenshots which was a dissapointment.
I think I'll buy the second issue too.

The mag is very excelent btw. 100x higher quality then i had even hoped for. The best part of the whole thing is the player community interaction. Makes every page well worth reading and highly enjoyable. I havent yet been able to really sit down with it and read cover to cover, but even the articals i glanced through have me itching to pull it out at work and read it. Well worth the wait! |

For your recordkeeping (if you are doing that), I received mine today (Oct 19th). Toronto, Canada.
I noticed earlier in the thread that Istvaan received his copy on the 11th or so, and IIRC he's somewhere in Ontario as well. About a week difference. I guess that's because he's SPECIAL.
I haven't had a chance to give it a good read yet, but I can certainly comment on my original pre-delivery concern: the condition in which it would arrive.
It was folded in half, lengthwise, which I expected so that's not a big deal. However, the spine is perfect, with no big dent at either end. I'm very happy with that, considering it was sent in a clear plastic sleeve.
Thanks!

I wish mine had been posted from there ... that's if it's been posted.
The irregular arrival dates of the mag does seems to indicate that not all orders have been posted yet, and that they're being sent irregardless of when it was ordered.
With CCP being busy with both the Fanfest and the hardware upgrades, I doubt we'll get an update before we actually receive the magazine ...

How do I contact ccp to see what happened to the first one? By the way the year sub was ordered after they started shipping and got here first and the first one ordered was months ago.

Arrived in Melbourne Australia today (Im sure they sent it by sea mail :P ) Havent had a chance to do much other than flick through it yet... But I was shocked to find it shipped in a thin plastic sleeve. Mine arrived folded in half, and the "Handle with care" part of the address sheet had been ripped off. I certainly hope the next issue will be shipped in something a bit more hardy, or at least with some hard cardboard in there to protect it. Apart from the obvious shipping issues, its a great looking magazine. Any chance someone from EON could let us know what the shipping conditions will be like for the next issue? I dont like the idea of my next one turning up with a huge scratch down the front cover.

Nebraska, still nothing. C'mon CCP. This can, and should have given the price, been done better and you know it. At this point the thing could come with a coupon for a free ship and i'd likely still not order the next one. I get packages ordered from japan faster than this, by half, and they are shipped standard mail services! So forgive me if I don't buy the it's your local postal service tack. Your supplier for this magazine is utter failure at distribution, prioritization, and timeliness. Time to shop around.
Can we please get some offical response regarding this extraordniary delay and what is being done to solve it? So far all i've read is "wait and you'll get it.", which to be honest is a horrible customer service stance. I preordered mine and people who ordered after release have managed receive their issues first? Moreover, should this mythical mag be something special and I actually do order more, what assurances can we get that the same debacle will not occur again? Is there going to be an improved shipping option? Is anything going to be done to make this right with customers who have been promised a product and billed for it yet left holding nothing well beyond the expected delivery date except empty wallets and utter disgust? If I ran my business like this I wouldn't have one.
And complain all you want about this post, but I have been patient, with nothing to show for it. At some point CCP needs to actually do something about this.
So please, some offical comment, thank you.
Edit: oh and before some smarmy sam posts it: I live in Omaha. A nice thriving city, not some town out in the far end of the state.

Folks - I write from MMM Publishing, the publishing company based in London, England, responsible for producing E-ON. We have become increasingly embarassed at the length of time some magazines are taking to reach their intended recipients, though naturally delighted that, for the most part, everyone likes it when they do get it.
Allow me to set the record straight on what has shipped when, and what we are doing about this for the future. All pre-orders (ie those ordered prior to 30th September) were shipped on Monday 3rd October. UK copies went straight into the UK postal system, while ALL overseas copies were sent in bulk to Switzerland for onward Priority Airmail shipping (according to the mailing house we used for this first issue, Swiss post is supposed to more efficient.) I repeat, ALL overseas copies were sent by priority airmail.
We do understand your frustations, those of you who have not yet received your magazine. The inconsistency of delivery simply does not make sense, but I am sure you will understand there is, at this point in time and for this particular issue of the magazine, nothing further we can do to speed up your delivery. We have spoken with our mailing house several times in the course of the last two weeks, and are categorically assured that every copy shipped with the bulk pre-orders did go priority airmail. Once the items move into the local postal system having arrived in the destination country we have no control over delivery times.
Orders received following the bulk shipping are mailed on a daily basis by airmail.
So, what are we doing about the future? Firstly, we are now in negotiation with the incumbent and other mailing houses to ensure there is not a repeat of this incident - you can believe me when I say that after all the hard work CCP, Zapatero and co have put in, we don't like to think that our customers are unhappy. Secondly, we are also negotiating with four express courier services to get the best deal in terms of cost vs speed, so that from issue #002 we will be able to offer an express shipping option. Naturally this will cost more, but at least you will have a choice. We will work out with CCP how this option can be retrospectively applied for those who have ordered a subscription and would like to move your remaining three issues onto express shipping.
And for those of you who have kept tabs on this thread, please let me assure you that thousands of magazines have already arrived safely - the late arrivals are clearly the exception, and not the rule. If you order, you will receive.
Further, many will be pleased to know that we will be sending a free gift with subscriptions taken out from issue #002 onwards, and that this gift will also be sent to all those with an issue #001-onward subscription, so those who showed faith from the outset are not disadvantaged. Issue #002 pre-orders (both single issue and subscriptions) will be available following Fanfest.
Can I now repeat Kieron's request that posts to this topic are kept on subject - ie feedback on the magazine itself, not rants about its lack of arrival at your doorstep. And yes, you can still order issue #001.
Publisher, E-ON http://www.eve-online.com/eon/ Issue #001 still available |

Xicon, thank you for your post.
It's unfortunate that sometimes accidents, unforseen delays, breakdowns, "stuff" happens. Always will. The one thing that I have found that always releaves some of the suffering from those affected by misfortune is information.
The more information we have, any sign that the Powers-That-Be listen and care, the more patience and understand people will have.
So thanks for the post! On the flip side, the more people express how great the magazine is, the more disappointment I feel each day when I look into the abyss of my post box and see no EON awaiting my loving touch. (For a chuckle, read that again while looking at my avatar. *g*)

Thank you very much for the update, the transparency is appreciated !
While it does not explain why some copies are taking long (if you do get to the bottom of the story, do tell please !), we now know how it went down.
Now to know if anyone in Switzerland received it yet ? It's quite surprising (and killing !) to know it shipped from a few hundred kilometers away and it's still not here

Thanks Xicon! I very much appreciate your post on the postage issues surrounding Issue #1 of EON.
Also ... my issue of EON #1 arrived on 20 October '05 in Melbourne, Australia! It arrived a little damp where the plastic wrap had given in to a concerted gank attack at some point in the epic journey between Zurich and Melbourne. I must say that I'm not at all fussed by that and I'm ecstatic to be able to read this legendary mag!
I haven't had sufficient time to thoroughly read the mag and so give you a detailed review. However, my initial impressions are summarised as follows:
(1) Look & Feel - Professional presentation - the physical production quality is first rate! Colour, type-font and lay-out are all good.
(2) Proof Reading - Quite a few typos (as others have pointed out) but TBH who cares about that - the meaning is perfectly clear.
(3) Ship comparisons - I loved the HAC comparison - more ship comparisons please.
(4) RL Advertising - Hey, I'm used to seeing adverts in my mags so don't be shy about selling some RL advert space. In my opinion, there's no need to limit RL advertising to the back page. The more RL advertising, the more money, the better the next production of EON.
(5) Competitions - More please! We don't necessarily need to win anything valuable in RL or in-game. It's just another means of encouraging greater player interaction/input with CCP.
(6) In-game Corp Advertising - A great idea. Why the heck not indeed!
(7) Letters to the Editor - Bring it on! Perhaps even just publish a few posts from the forums.
(8) Playing Guide - Both the trading guide and the navigation guide are interesting. I'd like to see some PvP guides and perhaps some discussions of agent missions.
(9) Locale Guide - Perhaps include maps of various regions of space (0.0 and Empire) and include a narration of who lives in or controls the region and the major market hubs (if any) and other defining features.
(10) Fiction - Haven't read any of it yet but I love the idea.
Well, that's it for now. On the basis of this issue I will definitely re-subscribe for issues 5 to 8. I will also upgrade my delivery once that option is offered (thanks for taking the idea onboard).

Xicon,
Thank you Very Much for opening the books and letting us peek into the issue further.
However many of us still don't have the Issue, so that we could provide some constructive criticism.
That is the "real" issue here!
Could we get on with it and have a PDF version posted already? I paid for a full yearÆs subscription to E-ON and I made that purchase the 2nd day of September. I can't remember the last time I spent $67 on something I didn't have in my hands 7 weeks later.
Patience?

Ok if this thread is to discuss the topic of the magazine and give feedback about the content only can you create a new thread for people who have not got the magazine and instigate some way of reimbursement. ItÆs blindly obvious that if the magazine was shipped in the UK on the 3rd and I still havenÆt got my copy on the 21st I am 100% definitely most certainly not going to get it. So please give us an option for what to do next I pre ordered this magazine as soon as I heard about it. You took the payment several weeks ago, itÆs either lost in the post or not been shipped. ItÆs not like this magazine cost a couple of quid it was bloody expensive.

I came back from my business trip to find a crip new copy of Issue 001 in my mailbox. It's a thing of beauty (and if Zap would add my address to his anti-spam filter I could forward my gushing email to him so he could read it).
Was very cool to see WDA in print. :) Seeing it now, I can tweak my experimental methods so things look better next issue, since it's entirely different doing things for print than for online imagery. I'm glad I was given the opportunity to be a part of the inaugural issue, and I definitely plan to be there for the rest. :)
Everyone I've shown it to has just been in awe of the magazine's quality, design, and content. Everyone involved deserves a hefty pat on the back.

Just another thought: if you are going to solicit more advertisers perhaps the price of the magazine could be lowered or alternatively keep the price the same but don't have advertisements. I realize there was only one "real" ad in the first issue. I'm just a little concerned that the amount of advertisements will increase with time without any price break to the consumer.

APPARENTLY, it will be included in Kali as a ship module that you can mount to your ship and read as you are making a +50-jump trade route in a SAS OR mining 50mil units of Veld solo.

what will happen if I don't get it? when should I start to worry? what would I do if I don't get it by a certain date? I know nothing about shipping internationally, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

you might want to email your questions here: [email protected]
its the site mentioned in the mag.so maybe you'll get a faster response then waiting on the forums for an answer. It shipped on the 3rd of October and 14 days is about average for an international order. You are not alone,however, it appears as if the ball was seriously dropped here (by who remains a mystery since no one is claiming accountability) and many people are still waiting.

Well I would love to say something about how great the magazine is, however after pre-ordering on 23/08/2005 I still have not received my copy. I have sent an email requesting shipping information, like when, but have not heard anything yet. I live in the USA, in the New York City area, so postal service is real good. How foolish of me to think an early pre-order meant faster delivery.
Either free the slaves or we will come and get them.

Well well, I live in Switzerland (Geneva) and I'm still waiting for my copy. Now based on the fact that all the neighboring countries got their magazine (except Liechtenstein, but no one lives in Liechtenstein, and no one cares about Liechtenstein anyway, as everyone knows ), it's likely that I may get mine soon... Hopefully. Will post again when I do get it.
It's really odd that it's taking so long, though, I get mail from the UK fairly often and it gets here within a week, tops. And the Swiss Post is really reliable.

I won't even think of ordering the 2nd issue unless I get the first. If I don't get mine soon, I'd want another copy of issue 1 sent to me instead of a reimbursement. I would like what I paid for, even though I know that isn't possible now because part of that payment was for it to show up in a timely manner. Still waiting, better be here by the end of the week.
Do you guys think they might resend the mag if it takes too long instead of us asking for a reimbursement?

Okay, I'd say we can all say it is reasonable for a first time magazine to have a few bumps and scraps on the first run and delivery. That's reasonable, but what is also reasonable is that they quickly do something about their mistakes and make things right with customers. Something that clearly hasn't happened with E-ON's distribution.
I preordered mine on the 23rd of August as well. Did someone delete the preorder files? As it seems there is a trend of late buyers getting thier copies before others. You'd think those who showed interest first and preordered would have them in a timely fastion, yet here I sit 20 days after the supposed ship date and no magazine.
So, who do I need to call. No email addresses please, I want a number for someone at CCP that I can call to find out what is going on and where my order is. It's not an unreasonable request, as I am at 3 weeks of waiting and the only thing I have to show for it is an increasing sense of annoynce and the phrase "it's on the way" ringing in my ears. Did the plane crash? Did the boat sink? What airmail takes 3 weekes to deliver? Should I order one now and get it in a few days and cancel the preorder? So please, a number with a real live human voice on the other end would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Could you include the date you ordered in all posts?

Makula - thanks for ordering, and I'm sorry that your magazine has not yet arrived, but please do not begin, or spread, such unfounded rumours - it is really not terribly helpful to anyone. ALL pre-orders were shipped, as I have said before, on 3rd October. I accept that it is taking an unreasonable amount of time for a (very) few magazines to reach their destination, but as you can understand there is nothing we can do to speed up their arrival since we have no control over national or local postal systems.
Whereabouts in the world are you based? This may help us to identify problems via our mailing house.

I don't know about the rumor aspects of this, but it certainly seems a clear cut trend that people who ordered after the release of the magazine recieve thiers within days, while those who preordered, and stand over at over 20 days of waiting, have not.
Please Xicon, I understand it's not your fault personally and I am not directing any anger at you personally, however; the line of there is nothing that can be done is rubbish. There are things that can be done. Send out new copies to those that haven't recieved one yet and send them via express courier. If it's a few as CCP continues to state, then CCP will not be wasting much, and you'll be going a long way towards re-establishing good will with your customers. Sure some may wind up with two issues as a result, but after 3 weeks of waiting, that should be the lease of your concerns. Give refunds to those that want them. (I however do not, just want the magazine in a timely fashion)
Additionally, you could make a E-on section of the website and everyone who ordered a copy could be mailed the password to it. Then I can at least read what I paid for while I wait, even print it out. I paid, upfront and preordered. Part of that was to insure I got my magazine quickly so I could enjoy it. Waiting over 3 weeks was not part of that equation.
You must understand, the reason why so many are angry is because we enjoy the game and the things related to it. Also of note, a big sell of the magazine was finding things out first, like titans, strategies, reviews, etc.. Those of use who were waiting 2 weeks or more have lost out on that concept entirely.
There are things you can do, time to start doing them.

We are truly sorry that you have not yet received your magazines.

And we won't be using again the mailing house we used, promising us an efficient service. We are now in advanced stages of negotiation with a major, reputable express shipping company to ensure the magazine reaches the intended recipient in timely fashion.

At this point I call on all E-ON buyers to be honest. If you have had your magazine, then you will understand the frustration from those who haven't. Please don't attempt to dishonestly gain another copy. Thanks.

Pre-ordered mine (I think it was early September) and it arrived today. I'm in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. I was getting worried, but I have to say that the wait was well worth it. This magazine is gorgeous, glossy and the ink is vibrant. Excellent production standards. Can't wait to dive into the articles. A cursory first-glance looks like the topics are very interesting.

Finally, it's here. Firstly, and foremost, I will subscribe as the gesture made, albiet a bit late, to send out new copies has me believing that there is acceptance of the issue and a desire to correct it. We'll find out next issue, here's hoping.
Nice magazine, my only real gripe was no pages and pages of ships. I would have liked to see the artist sketches or ingame models for the ship classes highlighted in the issue eg: titans and the two carrier types. No tech stats needed(although it would be really cool), but just a general impression of what the ships ar going to look like. Would have really liked to see the gallante carrier, the only one not shown . The Amarr carrier was particularly eye catching with the mimm following close behind. All in all the magazine is great, the clone story was a bit creepy, but also a good read.
Also, I want to know where the people who wrote the hac comparisions are buying thier hacs, I've never seen them as cheap as they list them. I gotta learn who thier suppliers are!
So my only suggestion is more ship stuff. Each issue show us the ships, more ships, and even more ships, old and new, and those being considered / developed. Concept art and prototype models from various angles. Part of my interest in EVE is the ships, so giving more attention to them would be most welcome. Maybe even feature a poster in each issue with a big splash of a class / or race specfic ships racing across the cosmos, explosions and battles, or maybe just size comparision charts, or blue print spec sheets, or concept art, you get the idea. Anyway, more ships! More reviews and guides! More more more, excellent mag. Can't wait, and hopefully won't, for the next one.
One you get it, you'll like it. Perhaps thats the worst part of the seemingly endless wait. but it's here now, so I must stop typing and enjoy. Well done magazine CCP!

Now that I finally have mine here is my feedback. As a collectable of sorts and priced that way its not in the best of shape. Nothing bad mind you, just normal postal stuff you would expect from a month in transition. I was already familure with most of the content because it did take a month to get here so while the pictures and stories are great there was no real news value to it. The size of the print and the color of the pages means its probably going to take another month for my tired old eye to read it all. I read a lot of books and editing using spell check software is the norm now a days. Spelling and missing words and lines are common in todays publishing and there is no more here then I am used to. I was really torn over whether or not to subscribe when it was first announced but faced with the actuall content and logistical problems it is easier to decide not to subscribe.

Just got mine today.. was in better condition than I had expected, considering how long it has been out.. shipped across seas.. in the packaging it's in. Near flawless condition.
The magazine is beautiful, I haven't had the chance to read it but there are lots of high res pictures and nice glossy pages. Defintely better quality than you would expect from a magazine.
It's not as thick as I would have liked BUT it was well worth the money in my opinion. It is the type of product I would expect for the price I paid. The big, high color, glossy pages have a nice feeling to them.
thumbs up so far! now time to read

Funny thing, I actually stayed home today sick for the 1st time in like 6 months and GUESS WHAT went *clunk* in my mail slot this morning at 10:08AM PST?
E-ON has ARRIVED!!
So, I stand corrected, it is absolutely incredible!
I never douted the quality, CCP has a proven track record of this.
I still have concerns for the timeliness of the shipping on the next issue. It seems that the ones who pre-ordered/whole year may have been on the botton of the barrel here, doesn't that seem alittle backwards?
Anyway I will step down off my soapbox for now and simply say - Great Job CCP and MMM Publishing Ltd and to all those who contributed!
Me's happy now, I have something to read on those Long Long trade routes!

Damn! This thing is quality! I almost feel guilty touching it with my bare hands..
articles are nicely written and the magazine is a lot longer than I expected it ot be after seeing the thickness. I guess that's what happens with a magazine when it isn't full of stupid ads and wasted space. Plenty of reading material, great images and artwork.. I can't possibly see how this could have been any better.
You outdone yourselves CCP! Great job with EON, I'm more than pleased..
not even done reading it yet, like I said.. it's full of content. About 1/4 through the magazine and I spent a good while reading. If you have not bought it thinking it might not be worth it, it is..
and for those who don't know, it's not a typical magazine. It's large, not normal paper size. The pages are thick and glossy. Almost like the quality of a poster if you know what I mean.

e-on has a very very good quality, never before i had a magazin in my hands with that quality and belive me, i read alot magazins, im a girl.
maybe (and i say that very careful) you can make it a little bit cheaper, because e-on it's a little bit expensive. but it's only an idea, i will order for one year, regardless of prices.
the articles are good, it's a great idea to write about some eve-players. i like also the section with the eve-char-pic's against their they reallife pic i hope u understand what i mean).
The artwork is impressiv too! all in all: great work! i hope the other issues will be that great too!

OK I read it, at least partly, and it's very cool...the production values very high, glossy color throughout and passes the critical "thumb smudge" test, which separates cheap printing from a fine piece of work.
Some of the content has obviously been collected for quite some time, such as in the Trade article which talks about the jump route changes for the Cold War expansion in the future tense...hopefully future articles will be a little more timely. All told though, very cool stuff.

Yay!
Finally got mine in Los Angeles today. I had honestly given up and was just considering the 15 bucks gone and lesson learned.
Looks great, and the one article I've read was interesting.
Assuming they won't all have the heart wrenching wait, I'd consider ordering the whole year.

BTW, who should I contact?
I have the same question! Please help us!

Hello, Mr. Extreme Patience here. I decided to wait until today before sending an email to the compnay to get another copy of the magazine sent (back on page 12, post by Xircon) and my magazine finally did arrive.
So mine arrived today, October 31st in Gainesville Texas, USA. (just north of Dallas a bit FYI)
It's in what I would call very good condition, and thankfully not damp at all as it rained here last night.
______________________________________________
As I stand,
dazzled by the shattered twilight,
I think back...
I think back to all the events that have brought me here.
And I realize...
I realize I was ment to come here.
Someone wanted me to come here.
And now, I have come here. |

The magazine looks great. Thanks to MMM and CCP for sending me a second copy just in case.

Well, it has finally happend. My shiny new EON magazine has arrived. Perfect condition, save the hint of a "U" shaped bend from placing it in the mail box. I have only begun to read the first few pages... but when I came home and saw the mag sitting on the table waiting for me I became giddy.
The arrival was well late, and I am still not certain if this is the first orriginal issue or the second issue sent to me by the EON staff to make good on their efforts (Thank you, Ian Bond for your quick reply and for sending me the back up issue). Either way I am satisfied if not exhausted from the suspense. If I do happen to recieve both issues I will use the second issue as a means of advertising for both EON and EVE Online by taking it around to show folks and letting them read it... seems only fair. So, scratch one helpless person in suspense here in Arkansas, USA; my prize has arrived.
* nonsequitur races off to finish reading his new magazine.

Got mine last week. What a beautiful magazine!!! I loved the art as well as the fiction, oh and the articles were cool too.
One thing I hope we dont have, is them making clebrities out of Prats. So you mercilessly kill unarmed players in Bestowers, bfd. (note, not a slam against prats but what you do is not celebrity worthy imho)
I also dont want to hear about the Uber rich players or corps. I want to hear about the average player. Id fancy to see them choose one player at random each issue and interview him and why he plays eve and what he does ingame. I Would also like to see them talk to players who have been here since the first month of the game.
This mag brings a good sense of community to use imo. This beautiful mag makes me feel a sense of pride in my game I have been playing for such a long time.

Ok, just finished my first pass though the mag, and I love it. I am still trying to find the words. Seeing the game I love in print, and being a part of it online is just awesome. And personally I would like to thank CCP for ensuring I will have to work 4 jobs to keep my addictions satisfied. Online game... check! Online game printed magazine... check! Collectable card game... uh wtomfgcheck!! That last one I think I can finally get one of my buddies to play eve, he is a bigger fan of collectable card games than me.

Funny that I got both issues that I ordered on the same day. One was my subscription I ordered pre-launch. The order I ordered a week ago.
I've read a little bit and so far I'm enjoying it. The look and feel are great. I once had an English professor that said when writing papers, the look is 50% of how well it is received. Meaning, if it looks professional and well done, then it is hard to see it as anything less.
Great job, it was worth the wait, even though I order the extra copy to insure that I would at least get one. I think I'll keep the subscription.

Finished reading it and the mag was awesome. One of my teachers read it a bit, and is going to try out eve. On another note, I thought the whole 3 page eve-i article was funny. especially the part where they said they would never take the site down.. So much for that :P

The site went down before the mag went to press and I tried to contact Dancer to get the story on what was going on, but there was no reply. I (we all) assumed EVE-I would return, sadly not.
That was just unfortunate timing.
But at the end of the day, unlike EVE itself, a magazine is a snapshot in time. There's no going back to change things. As the months and years slip by more and more will be out of date. (NAGA and MASS both asserted their desire to be free of Alliance politics in the mag and have since embraced the concept.) I have no problem with EON#1 slowly falling out of time. It will become like an old photgraph that you'll look back on in years to come and see EVE as it was in the summer/autumn/fall of 2005, and say 'I was there'. I hope so anyway.

Just found my E-ON copy five minutes ago, and can't wait to read it .
It took a while (6-7 weeks) but it was definatly worth waiting for it.
For everyone that hasn't received his copy yet, I can only say, have patience and faith .

I'm in Long Beach, CA and I still didn't have my copy so I sent an email to MMM Publishing explaining my situation. The person who responded to my email (Ian) solved my problem in like 10 minutes, even though there was some confusion about the address I sent (they had my billing address and I sent my shipping address in my email). They're professionals there at MMM Publishing and I just wanted to say thanks.

Just wanted to post to say the magazine is great! The quality is top-notch and the content very interesting. I especially like the article on HAC's. Mine arrived yesterday (and the new one sent to replace the missing one arrived the same day!). I'm in Fayetteville, NC so if you are in the NC area you should be getting it any day now i'd assume.
Thanks for the great mag! I will pass the duplicate copy onto friends to try to get them to subscribe.

I have not gotten my copy yet, I have been dealing with someone for over 13 days, and it was just 2 days ago, that they decided to elecate me concern up the chain to some one who can deal with it. My sister shipped box's from London to here on the 12th of October, and they got here last week.
Where is my E-ON, I would not be so upset, but for what I paid in shipping, it should have been here a week after is came out.
I did pre-order as well.
Any help here?

I also did pre-order, just got mine today. Looks great, awesome info and stories...but by now, it's all a month old. Eve changes too fast. All the "insider" info was old news. If it's going to be a month old next time by the time I get it, i really see no point in orderding it again. I will most likely though, but if the delivery problems aren't solved by the next issue, I won't be getting it again. Great work on the mag team, and I know it's not your fault they took so long to get out.

Received mine yesterday in a smallish city in Texas.
From th ehype I have seen for the magazine, it was vaguely disappointing.
Then again, other then the stories, I had heard about it all on the forums.
I did love looking at the sketches for the Carriers.
I want my Carrier... Going to name it TigerClaw.

So many times I have gone to buy stuff before remembering I need a CC.

ok zap, i know you are reading this thread, so why you didn't answer my perfectly valid question?
again:
is there any reason why the distribution both time and place is seemingly random?
according to the posts made here it's not going by state, country, hemisphere or any timeframe whatsoever.
i've got people 5 living within 100 miles of me who have each gotten their copy nearly one week apart.
Did you guys go like, the utter bottom line with swiss post or something? Not even USPS economy by boat takes this long. I'm getting aggitated here. |

I agree, other means than PayPal and a creditcard should be available. (I've probably said it in every thread about buying EvE-fanstuff already, but still no changes... ).

Random? No, but understand that when thousands of items are let loose into a disperate global mail network, there are bound to be hold-ups. That said, the wait for some has been unreasonable to say the least.
I can assure you 100% that all the mags destined for US addresses arrived in the US at the same time, sometime around the 12 October. Same with every other country.
We have already made an offer on this thread to send out second copies to those still waiting:
Originally by: Xicon
We are truly sorry that you have not yet received your magazines. If you have not yet received, please email your order number (as appears on your confirmatory email) together with your name and address to [email protected]. It will be sorted. And we won't be using again the mailing house we used, promising us an efficient service. We are now in advanced stages of negotiation with a major, reputable express shipping company to ensure the magazine reaches the intended recipient in timely fashion. Everyone knows that sometimes the mail system can go wrong. I accept that the length of time you have had to wait is beyond the reasonable.
At this point I call on all E-ON buyers to be honest. If you have had your magazine, then you will understand the frustration from those who haven't. Please don't attempt to dishonestly gain another copy. Thanks.
Secondly we are looking into many different postal options, including an express service from Issue#2. Rest assured we are doing everything that we can to ensure these delays do not reoccur.

if all of the issues of EON were handed off to the USPS at the same time there wouldnt be over a 3 week variance in delivery times for the entire country, let alone 1 state.

as soon it got advertized here and
i still dont hold any exemplar in my hands.
a few attempts to contact anyone through the support

to be more precise, i dont get an answer.
[Incident:051102-000211]
i really very much would like it in my hands eventually.
heck i would even pay the price for the first exemplar a second time if it is too much work for you guys to check my

b) i would not know the number, because i cant find the email. all i can see is withdrawed money from my account.

Zapatero and crew:
Just wondering what E-on's policy regarding real life commercial advertising. There was just one real life advertisement in the first issue. Will there be more adds in subsequent editions and if so will the consumer get a break on the price?
The way I see it E-on can go one of two directions. Either have only ingame adds and a higher cover price on the issue to compensate, or have more adds but a lower price for the magazine itself.
Just curious as to what the current policy regarding RL advertisements is.
Just to reiterate a comment I made earlier that might have gotten lost in the abyss of shipping problem posts. I hope that in future charts, bio information etc. will be placed at the same angle as the rest of the print. Having to tilt the magazine on a sideways slant is very annoying.
Aside from that keep up the good work.

add real life ads, and you destroy the athmosphere.

the whole live is spammed already, please keep us a
safe area.. if it doesnt pay off w/o adds, rather rip us off a bit more :)

From a commercial point of view it makes sense that we as a magazine pursue having real-world adverts in the magazine. That said, having in-game ads lends the magazine a very unique feel. It's a tricky question.
I think that if we can sutain the magazine as it is (ie stick with in-game ads), we will. However if advertisers show an interest, we would be mad not to try to accomodate them. How this would effect the cover price is difficult to predict. I suspect that if a) sales rise, and b) advertisers take an interest in placing ads, we would likely keep the same price and a) either increase the number of pages, or b) increase the number of issues per year. I suspect (as such decisions are out of my hands) it would be better to make the magazine even greater value for money.
Regarding the regularity of tiltage, I think the occaisional 90-degree rotation isn't such a big deal. C'mon, you wouldn't complain if this was Hustler Maybe it's just me

Got mine about three weeks ago, and was very impressed: nice production. :)
One complaint: print is very small, and when against a coloured or sketched background, is very difficult to read except in perfect lighting.:(
Both a complaint and a compliment: it left me wanting more:)
Btw, how does one go about placing a Corp ad? Rates?
All in all, good work, maybe think about increasing the frequency of issue when you get more used to the publishing game.

Got mine about three weeks ago, and was very impressed: nice production. :)
One complaint: print is very small, and when against a coloured or sketched background, is very difficult to read except in perfect lighting.:(
Both a complaint and a compliment: it left me wanting more:)
Btw, how does one go about placing a Corp ad? Rates?
All in all, good work, maybe think about increasing the frequency of issue when you get more used to the publishing game.
Regarding Corp Ads, please email [email protected]. As for frequency, it is unlikely that we will move to a greater regularity than quarterly, even though we have been 'in the publishing game' for more than 20 years!

Twas awesome. I admit, I wish it had come sooner. My brother put in a request for a second copy after a few weeks of waiting, and both copies arrived the same day.
My copy arrived as well, and I have to say, the magazine has a VERY high-quality feel to it. Doesn't so much feel like a magazine as a real collectors item. The print was beautiful, pages glossy, thick and gorgeously colored. After I purchased it I admit wondering if I'd regret paying $15 for a magazine, but after it arrived I certainly did not. It feels high quality and worth the money. I'll definately without a doubt be subscribing to it.
While I disagree quite vehemently with DigitalCommunist's analysis of most of the HACs, I did very much enjoy the articles contained within the publication. I like how varied the content was, with the short stories, dev backgrounds, game content advice articles, player backgrounds and funny bits; however I did notice one thing somewhat lacking: Politics.
It would be interesting if you could include a section of the magazine that showed EVE politics from differing views (in-character of course rather like the Alliance Summit forum). In it, players could discuss their reasons for conflict and alliances, regions that various alliances and corporations control, and just general player news in the EVE political arena.
Keeping it unbiased and friendly is the tricky part to be sure, but IMO it would be fun for existing alliance members to see their opponents point of view, provide their own, and also give non-alliance members the opportunity to learn more about whats going on (and if they were to choose an alliance, who they might wish to join).

I am deeply dissapointed with EON. I was hoping it will have a lot of info about game wich I can't get from other sources. From what I found there is only: some pictures of carriers (I want more! I want ingame screenshots) and short stories. I enjoyed EVE-I history and funny local chats. THATS ALL.
I doubt EON is bought by 1 month old noobs. For all others basic information about market, bookmarks or rough characterization of HACs is a waste of paper space. And I really don't care who is who in EVE - if they are really that famous I'll hear about them ingame. EVE postcards - I can see more and better pictures at EVE website.
In future EON (yes, I bought 1 year subscription) I expect exlusive materials. Information about ingame mechanisms pushed to the limits (and making bookmarks is not pushing limits), maybe some technical info from programmers (shaders, thread synchronization problems etc.), short stories (like in issue #1), history of rare ships (like Golden Magnat) etc. Anything I can't easily find on the web or in game.

Okay. So I finally received mine at the beginning of November, and after thoroughly reading it, I thought I'd give some feedback.
Shipping
While I perfectly know CCP/MMM are not directly responsible for that and the problems related to it, it is still part of the product/service.
I was one of those people who had to wait for over a month before reading it. This basically means that the highlights/important bits/exclusives in the magazines had already been discussed on the forums, then rediscussed and even "updated" at the FanFest. Meaning that not only the information received was outdated (things concerning the Chinese cluster for example), but all exclusivity spoiled ("Supersized" EVE, etc.)
I thought it was important to emphasise on this "problem" because it deteriorates the enjoyment you would otherwise have when reading the magazine.
Graphics and Quality
The quality of the magazine was very good - nice colors, nice composition, nice image quality. Not too many spelling/grammar errors (although I did spot a few). The advertisements were very nice (special mention to the EVE Files one, really nice idea !), not too intrusive, and the content was well placed/arranged, with quality illustrations everywhere.
Not much else to add, except that it damages too easily :(
Content
This is obviously the biggest part.
The tidbits about CCP's current/coming plans was very nice. Although I thought that the CCP in China event wasn't covered enough ; no details about the trip, no anecdotes, no feedback from chinese players/testers.
I would very much like more information about CCP in general, for example the upcoming move into new facilities, reports about their travels around the world (latest in europe was Germany I think ?), more discussions about where they see the game/company going, etc.
The staff interviews were top-notch, I really enjoyed them. Reminded me of the "Behind the scenes" movies - which I had very much enjoyed - except that the interviews were even more up-close and personal :)
Good job on that, looking forward to the next round of interviews !
The article on the "Supersized EVE" was very nice too ; quality concept-art (why no Gallente Carrier concept shots ?), comprehensive information - all-in-all, very good article. More of those please !
DigitalCommunist's review of the HAS was very nice too, albeit a bit too short - the comprehensive summary table at the end was a very nice touch.
The in-character interviews were very nice too. Although nothing too new was revealed about the persons/organisations, the questions were well thought out, and the interview well-held.
I must say that I was hoping for more (in-game) policital talk ; talks about why such or such decisions had been taken, why that war, etc.
This brings me to the chronicles, which were well written, and very enjoyable to read, but I found to be too "distant" in the sense that none were very much linked to in-game characters, player happenings. I would have loved to read something about the theft of the Molyneux ; some mix of Serpentis fiction, with player events (MC and .5. helping them against the Federation), etc.
But perhaps I should just sit down, and write one myself :P

[continuing]
Finally, the navigation and trade guides ; I found both to be too "newbie-oriented". After all, the people more likely to purchase the magazine are the veterans, rather than the new-comers. But perhaps I'm completely wrong in that assumption ;)
Perhaps have a beginner-intermediate one, and an intermediate-expert one (like one for Scanning Probes, or building Tech II Components) ?
In the end, the reading pleasure was very spoiled by the delay, but it still was an enjoyable read. I liked the magazine.
I did find it quite short - read from cover to cover within an evening, which I find quite short considering its price.
I am not sure I will be buying the next issue, depending on the content, the shipping and my finances (!).
However, I would like to offer a few suggestions.

Comment:
With the next shipment please include a stiff cardboard backing for the magazine. My 40-day-late issue of E-ON was folded neatly in half as if it had gone through a press (every page from front to back was actually *creased*, like freshly drycleaned pants). That takes a lot of force for a mag that heavy!
Oh, and for those countries that take 40 days to recieve their issues... release them 40 days before the 'official' release date so that everyone gets them at pretty much the same time.

I just got my copy. Sorry, but it was way too full of self-promotional fluff for my tastes.
The only thing I found useful was the Heavy Assault Cruiser guide. I wouldn't mind paying $15 for a complete guide to Eve ships, but if you're going to dole out just one class of ships per issue, I won't be buying.
I'm not against the concept of having fiction in the magazine, but I haven't gotten around to reading most of what is available free online yet, so that wasn't a plus for me. I can see how others would like it, though.
As a n00b that's been casually playing since July, I hoped for some valuable info but found very little that isn't already available online. I learned a few minor tidbits and can't imagine any veteran players got anything truly useful out of it.
Production values were great...nice glossy magazine, eye-catching graphics, etc.
It was a nice try, but at that price and lacking meaty content, I won't be subscribing.
What would I like to see? Useful and specific strategies for mining, pvp, bounty hunting, raising isk, plotting your optimal skill tree...I keep hearing you can do darn near anything in this game, so tell me about it and don't limit the info to just a noobie guide.
Also, an article on how to tell which of the various in game news reports are window dressing and which are things that really matter would be nice. For example, it took me a while to figure out there were genuine overcrowding issues in some star systems and you were really asking people to move their operations elsewhere. I initially thought it was just another nonsensical bit of prose to enhance the fictional game world background.

I was shocked when I saw this:
"with 0.6 systems being the lowest sec-rated system an AFK (away from keyboard) traveller should attempt passing through."
and this:
"if the system happens to be a safe one (0.6 or above)"
There are other small mistakes, but this one is huge. I think it should be rectified in the next issue.

Got a reply they said they were sending me a replacement copy out so hopefully I'll be digging in to it soon. Small world I tell ya. First I've heard of anyone from near here playing Eve. Most likely a lot of us and just don't know it. Sometimes though I feel like i'm the only one that has ever heard of Elba, Alabama

Waited patiently this entire time without posting. Well I did finally recieve my magazine in the mail yesterday. Ive just got to state that I found it completely ridiculous to wait this long. A letter I write while deployed makes a quicker trip back home. I might add that I recieved the replacement copy, doubt if a first was ever actually sent in my name.
As for the magazine I must say great job CCP and MMM for a quality printed magazine devoted entirely to Eve.
PROS:
* Enjoyed reading about the progress of the EVOl movie.
* Warp Drive Active comic gave a few chuckles.
* The articles on 'LeKjart' and 'Nag' were good reads.
* The HAC evaluations were great, perhaps if something similar is done next article you could include a setup or two.
* Guide for Safe Navigation should be a good read for pilots inexperienced with low-sec.
* I enjoyed reading the Funnies in the back of the issue.
* The full page adds were suprisingly non-obtrusive.
CONS:
* Fanfest 2005 Preview, lol. It's already come and gone, nuff said.
* Super Size Eve, again the cats already out of the bag on that one. There goes the privileged information for subscribers (the reason to buy the magazine).
* The Eve-i article for obvious reasons.
* The Guide to Trading is readily available on the forums for reading. Most veteran players are aware it's there and new players could be directed there by STAR personnel.
All in all it was a great magazine. But it still remains whether I will subscribe to this as the horrible shipping is a bit of a turn off. Good luck with the magazine in the future a good job to MMM and CCP for publishing E-ON.

Prydeless - I have now sent the email three times (replying to yours) and each time it gets bounced back. The shipping address you supplied when you ordered is not the same as the address you have supplied in your email. Can you check that the mag has not arrived at the address you gave when you ordered (PO Box 343). If not, we will re-supply. Feel free to email back - yours are getting through. Regards

Pevaw - I can assure you that the original was sent, but I'm glad you at least received the replacement. As far as shipping goes, we have in the past few weeks been undertaking a thorough review of the situation, and will be making considerable changes to the way the magazine is mailed out in the future. We understand the frustration felt by all E-ON purchasers who waited patiently for their magazines to arrive, and will in the course of the next few days post a Dev Blog announcing the revised state of play, along with the availabilty of pre-orders for issue #002. Please, everybody, be advised, that we do take the matter very seriously.

Hi E-on,
sorry to see that you have been let down by your couriers on this occassion. I am sure that anyone who has seen the magazine and its quality will appreciate that this is well worth the money. I received mine and was almost to afraid to open it because it just looked so good.
Some people seem to have expected more information than they got. This surprised me since it is the nature of the game that much of our day to day game information would be provided through the media of webpages. Yet this is the important point about your magazine. How can it be sufficiently different to justify the price?
Well the first thing is it provides information in a beautiful format that you can just enjoy. The game is a beautiful game and the magazine reflects that. It is just nice having for those reasons. A second thing is that we get access to short stories that I am not aware are available on the web. The inside scoop is of course manditory and you had that. All in all a good start and I can't wait to see how you develop the magazine. I am fairly confident if you keep this up that I will be renweing my subscription to the magazine. I am fairly new to the game and this provides it with something added that I do not get elsewhere.
kind regards
Sharken

The stories were the best content, in my opinion. That and the interviews rank highest in my book.
I would like to see a bit larger page count - in fact, I'd gladly pay more for a larger magazine, but am not sure if I'll bother if it remains so thin.

Answers to your questions as follows:
1) Yes issue #001 is still available, and is being sent out.
2) Orders are dispatched daily, within 24 hours of order. UK copies should be received within 48 hours of dispatch.
3) Yes, the magazine is quarterly, so 4 a year. Next issue (#002) ships on 6th Jan 2006.
4) No, there is no way to track the order, as the magazine goes by regular mail which is not trackable.
Hope you enjoy E-ON when you get it.

I got mine after I e-mailed the address for replacement issues. Took about 11 days to come to Durham, NC. I don't expect to ever get the issue I originally ordered.
As for the magazine, I would say it's fairly good. Excellent production quality, but the content needs some beefing up I think. Was funny reading about EVE-I which is defunct as far as I can tell.
Anyway, for a first issue I think it's pretty good.

Finnaly got my copy yesturday and its great! The only cons I really see are the shipping issues and its a little thin. But then again most magazines these days are kind of thin (atleast here in the states). Haven't dug into the stories yet but I know they will be great as I have really enjoyed the older ones on the eve web site. The rest of the content is awesome and I can't wait for issue 2! Also keep up with the Alliance/corp ads. It really adds to the 'eve experience' IMO.
Eve-I makes me /cry though . It was a great website for eve information such as npc resists etc..

Finnaly got my copy yesturday and its great! The only cons I really see are the shipping issues and its a little thin. But then again most magazines these days are kind of thin (atleast here in the states).
I gather the shipping will be improved for #2 and most magazines start off a bit thin, I bet. Read those stories IMMEDIATELY! They're the best part :D

Mag a work of art.
Trade article useless to anyone more than a
day old in the game,graphs not explained fully.
Advert's will appear in issue 5,under the
excuse of it will help improve content.
Expected a mag from within CCP.
Got a mag from Pc Zone and other contributers
looking inward to the game.Not CCP telling us
about their game from the heart.(read contributors)

For all those of you who have been trying to order E-ON but couldn't, apologies. There was a minor glitch in the system which has now been sorted. You can now pre-order issue #002, which ships on 6th January. If you order a subscription you will also get a free set of postcards of rare ships (all those who ordered a sub starting with issue #001 will also receive these).
When ordering, please be sure to selct the option you want. Issue #001 is still available, and if you order a subscription beginning with issue #001, the magazine will ship within 24 hours. You will then receive issue #002 (and your set of postcards) in early January. If you have already had issue #001, and would like a sub beginning with issue #002, be sure to select that option.
When ordering, please also be very careful to enter your shipping address accurately. If you get this wrong, your magazine will probably not arrive.

Issue #002 pre-orders now available |

Hmm. I'm still getting the '500 - Internal Error' message which I was getting yesterday when I try to preorder issue 2. You sure the issue's been sorted?

You should receive a confirmatory email from the EVE store, giving you an order number and confirmation number of the order. If you have not received this, the order has not been processed or recognized for some reason, so you will need to go through the order process again.

Well, I just ordered (yes, before I've even subscribed! But I plan on doing that after my trial anyway). So... how long might I expect to be waiting to receive it in California? (i.e., what's the average airmail shipping time from the UK?)
Or maybe someone in the US who ordered it after the release date could share their waiting experience?

If you have ordered issue #001, it will ship within 24 hours, and should reach you in California within 14 days (but you'll need to allow 21 days before being concerned). If you have ordered issue #002, that ships on January 6th.
