BAHA!
Anyone else thoroughly entertained that sleeve tats just made their way in as another marketing push?
The true EVE Gold Club: monocles, golden pods, and tatts everywhere.
(edit: please note, I'm glad more vanity items are making their way in-game. I just wish there was a way to make a player industry out of it, instead of it being slowly monetized by CCP Marketing.) |

Hmm..hopefully those people who already got their pre-order bonus get these as well...
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Anyone know if these will be available to purchase using Aurum for those of us who don't pre-order? I doubt I'll actually get one, but the option would be nice. |

You can buy them on the market if someone decides to sell theirs.
I believe at some point we will make them available through different ways, but the pre-order people will be the only ones sporting them for some time.

So Gold Membership basically. All the people that have been asking for this, for years, and you make it available for 'some time' (who knows how long) for ONLY people REBUYING the game they already have.
Is this a joke?

Just posting this so that people don't think they are getting exclusive collectors items with the boxed set.
Quote:The EVE Online items are timed exclusives, available initially to pre-purchase customers and available to trade in the marketplace. They will be made publicly available via in-game markets and promotions at a later date.
Anslo, people really aren't pre-ordering the boxed set to get the game. They are pre-ordering it to get a collectable item and some goodies before anyone else can (often probably just to make inordinate amounts of ISK from those with no patience). I'm sure you'll see these available on the market for sale in short order.
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Anslo; because of the pushback against Incarna, CCP hasn't been able to seed all of the vanity items through the NEX store for fear of triggering another backlash.
As such, they have a significant backlog of vanity items in the art stockpile that haven't been used. Marketing's been slowly using these for promotions.
It's not ideal, because I'm totally with you that all of this should be hinged on player industry-- but the unfortunate thing is that right now, there's no really easy way to hook in a player industry of tattooing and producing clothes, of all things. I doubt these vanity items will be player-producible until we've got more robust avatar-based gameplay, but that'll be something that will probably arrive from a gameplay-based approach where we start with avatar exploration, possibly avatar hacking/combat/boarding, and then we see those environments available for social interaction lastly. |

Haha, here's a marketing idea for you, CCP: EVE Sims.
Build your family business on a space station in the Eve-O universe, selling vanity items and services to capsuleers.

You guys are hard to satisfy. CCP isn't a charity organisation, you can't blame them for trying out new stuff that might potentially raise their income, now or in the future. I for one am happy with my tattoo thingie. I'll just somehow need to source one for the other arm :) |

The point is, this isn't stuff they've made for the Collectors edition, it's been lying around in the code since incarna, just like a whole load of other things, and instead of just putting it out there for us to get, they're restricting it to people who pay a stupid amount of money for their decade pack
This is like incarna 2.0, Is no one seriously aware of what they're doing? :p |

Eve is the only game I can think of that has as much effort expended on clothing and avatar modifications without any actual way of showing them off to other people.
I know Incarna is a dirty word, but without multiplayer walking in stations there's no driving force to buy these virtual trinkets. The only time sleeve tattoos will ever be seen is when someone actually clicks "View Body" on your profile photo, in other words - never.
Valve had the right idea with hats in Team Fortress 2 - at least in terms of creating demand. Introduce virtual items to the game, make it so others are forced to see them (you can't turn them off on a vanilla server as far as I'm aware) thus making them have an intrinsic value. With the exception of the monocle and other facial items there is no reason to waste money on something no one will ever see.
That's not to say that I actually like hats in TF2, or virtual clothing & tattoos in Eve, but I can appreciate that unless other people are seeing you wearing them their value tends towards nil.
