Greetings Capsuleers!
Starting today a build containing an updated in-game store will be available for public testing on the Singularity test server (The server is currently in VIP and will be open to the public very shortly).
The New Eden Store (previously known as the NEX Store) is part of a revamp and simplification of how we offer items like ship skins, clothing and, in the future, services like character re-sculpting and multiple character training. We plan to offer a number of interesting and unique items through the store, and eventually include many of the services you now use through Account Management and through the PLEX right-click menu.
To improve the user experience, the Noble Exchange store will be replaced with the New Eden Store and we will move all AURUM currency (AUR) from characters into your account. The store will be a place where you the player (as opposed to your characters) will shop.
In this first step, youGÇÖll be able to use AUR to purchase various items such as custom ship skins and apparel. In the future you will be able to use either AUR or PLEX to pay for various items and services through this store. All AUR in all your characterGÇÖs wallets will be collected and added to the AUR balance on your user account where it can spent by any characters on that account. Any AURUM tokens or PLEX that are yet to be converted to AUR will not be touched, but after the change converting these will add the AUR to your combined users balance and not to the character who converts it.
Please note that the prices are by no means final and may be subject to change.
More information about the New Eden Store and the items you can get through it will be provided in an upcoming dev blog.
To help ensure the quality of this feature we will be running a mass test on the Singularity test server today, Monday, May 12th, at 17:00-19:00 UTC (EVE time). Anyone who completes a transaction in the New Eden Store during this time will receive 500,000 free skill points on each character on their account on Singularity, to use as they wish.
What exactly is being tested?
- The New Eden Store
- Redeeming Queue UI changes
How to connect to Singularity for this test:
Test steps:
- Launch Singularity client using the launcher (Required to access the New Eden Store).
- Open the New Eden Store, either from the Character Selection Screen (Noble Exchange Button) or through the Neocom (Business -> Noble Exchange). NOTE: The station services NeX Store button will still open the old store. Please ignore.
- Browse the Store and attempt to buy various items.
- Redeem bought items via the redeeming queue.
What else should I know?
- Skill points will be awarded on Singularity for this mass test
Current Known Issues
- PLEX and AUR tokens do not currently convert to AUR successfully (We will be providing each account on Sisi plenty of AUR to test with)
- The category filtering currently does nothing.
- NOTE: Any bugs found that are not related to the New Eden store should not be reported! This build was specifically created to test the New Eden Store and as such anything and everything else may be broken.
- Each offer in the store has one extra product which will not be received during purchase.
- The redeeming queue UI does not update when dragging items out to a character.
As always any feedback you have can be posted in this thread, along with any issues you run into. We will read all your posts and help out wherever possible. Thanks for your continued help! CCP Lebowski | EVE Quality Assurance | Team Five-0

Ok VIP has been lifted, test away!
NOTE: We are in the process of providing lots of AURUM to every character on Sisi. You may find that this has yet to happen on your account so please be patient, this should be completed within the next hour. A relog will be required for the free AUR to appear.

As has been said above, this is a build specifically designed to test the new store. Expect no new content other than the store in this build. Will have a better update on the time for other new and shiny things later this week. CCP Goliath | QA Director | EVE Illuminati | @CCP_Goliath |

TheMercenaryKing wrote:moving forward, can we get singularity patch notes?
Patch notes on a test server are very difficult to get tbh. We can (and do) provide an overview of what features are new, but doing things like providing fix lists is just too time consuming at our end, sorry. CCP Goliath | QA Director | EVE Illuminati | @CCP_Goliath |

Item shows up in my Redeem Items flyout at the bottom. When I try to drag it to a character, I get: "Token Not Found" "Redeem token not found."
Can you check if the items are already in your inventory?

What is "the inventory system"?
The system by which we manage inventories in EVE. Cargo hold, Item Hangar, Ship Hangar, etc. CCP Goliath | QA Director | EVE Illuminati | @CCP_Goliath |

May I remind CCPgames about this dev blog: http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/accord-reached-at-ccps-special-summit/"We have expressed our deep concern about potential grey areas that the introduction of virtual goods permits, and CCP has made a commitment to discuss any proposals that might fall into these grey areas in detail with CSM at the earliest possible stage."Hope that awareness has not dissipated over the years.

Nothing has changed in our approach since that blog - the same principles still apply, and we will still discuss all new plans with the CSM. Senior Producer, EVE Online Development CCP Games Reykjavik |

Quote:The store will be a place where you the player (as opposed to your characters) will shop. To me, that indicates it will not be accessible the same way the NEX is currently. The NEX currently operates as a transaction point for you the character rather than the player. I think it would be a mistake to make the store inaccessible while in the current play session. I'd like to see the store accessible from somewhere besides the character selection screen (say I want to get a stabber skin before our roam tonight). I would suggest putting it on the ESC menu screen.
It's also in the Neocom under Business. CCP Goliath | QA Director | EVE Illuminati | @CCP_Goliath |
