Hmm..hopefully those people who already got their pre-order bonus get these as well...

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.

I am at work, but I just activated my right arm Drone tattoo. \o/

Can't wait to get home & get inked. Will update my photo afterwards.

Now just waiting for my gold pod.

Great work CCP

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?

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.

No Veldspar tattoo's! So sad.

Is this a joke?

...sleeve tattoos? really? Where the hell is my hat? >_<

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 :)

Also the golden pod: At first this sounded like a good idea, but the abomination visible in the game's lancher and (if I remember correctly) in the game, it's just horrible (and plain golden). Golden stripes or some paint job? Yeah! But just plain golden? Ugly. But anyway: When has been the last time you looked at a pod up close?

Houm... so we paid 300+ euros in subcriptions since Incarna, and we still must spend more money to get something that's been done and shelved for a year?

You've paid 300+ Gé¼ to play the game, others paid 150 Gé¼ for a CE, they haven't gotten yet (that now includes these items for them as well; in addition to the sub). Don't see the issue. In other games you'll have to pay for expansions or DLC, would you complain about having to buy an expansion, because you've paid a subscription as well?

How would you feel if you were told you would get something in a certain expansion, then when all the monument shooting stuff it was "soonGäó" then nothing for like two years, only for it to pop again on a totally different thing, that we need to pay out for?
Don't start using expansions being free as an excuse, this is stuff that's been in the game files for years, why should we need to pay now to get it?

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.)

The moment their Quafe T-shirts, Quafe skin ships, monocles hats and whatnot are not "pay to win" I can care less how many those tatoos are worth of or how many dudes will buy them, let them be and give their money to CCP, what's the problem about this?

So, has everyoen already gotten their codes? i havent received diddly **** but i know several of my friends have said they received a mail from amazon.

My sleeve tat isn't showing on the forums><.

That is absoltly ridicikilous,
Pay to Play turns into Pay to look hot.

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.

(****, now I'm afraid they might actually pick this one up.)

It is beyond sucking that i have not receieved an email, so many people with tats and im still stuck sitting here waiting for an email from amazon.

oh man i can't wait for everyone to see my tatt... oh. right.

I like the new sleeves, it makes it very easy to identify those with more dollars then sense. To be honest I don't know if I should find it funny or sad that people are willing to spend over 150 pounds (euros? I don't know as an 'Merican it is socially unacceptable for me to know any other currency symbols besides $) on making their avatar in a video game look 'cool'. For that kind of money I would much rather spend it on real ink, than virtual ink. But you know what they say about fools and their money, they soon find themselves apart.

Only the l33t3st of us can have those golden cookies

If any CCP is watching this thread:

as usual, top notch QA there

I'm pretty sure CCP karkur has two.

The sleeve tattoos also arent listed on the Amazon preorder bonuses, so should i expect a few days delay in getting the new codes? or a week and a half like the first time amazon got screwy with codes?
