I think CCP should add the collectible card game into eve as a "minigame". It woudl be basically a win win for CCP. If setup properly CCP could add awsome content (card game tournaments anyone?/ looting and trading of cards anyone? ) and make the actual card game more popular with it.
In fact CCP would not even have to create the content really since the rules and the basics for the card game are apparently already existant so it would just be using of ingame existing picture with text and a small programm to run the game. Maybe give us the posibility to play it eve wide with other players as well =)

I see no reason to buy the real card game, probably won't find anyone to play with... but I would love to be able to play in-game, even if we had to still pay the same prices for the cards!

Sounds awesome to me! Nice idea, Dekiri, I enjoy CCGs and it would advertise CCPs real card game well. If they did it like Magic, they could also have people acquire cards ingame then when they complete a set, they can pay a sum to get it sent to them in real card format.

What i would mostly want is being able to find the cards all over the eve universe =P
As loot for example or in ship wrecks or wherever or even as mission rewards.
As an example for this to work extremly well i would like to mention final fantasy(the regular not mmo). They implented a card game into the game (at least once not sure about the other parts) and it was EXTREMLY popular and succesful.

Don't take it the wrong way but... Adding cards to the game sounds silly to me. I prefer it the way it is. I do not want to collect cards myself it just makes it less interesting environment to me having game cards around.
Just my opinion. I dislike the idea a great deal.

It wont affect you at all if you don't like it. It is not like it would change the game. It would just add loot for you if anything. The nice part is that it would never be something required to do.
My idea would be to be able to buy a "basic" set and then be able to loot rarer cards. That way the loot cans would not have to be clustered with the cards=)

Ok I see now it is more a side thing. I just don't want to have to have a card to run a afterburner or something LOL.
As long as it gives no one any special superman abilities or something.

While I agree with you that it should be made available to play on Eve, I do not want it to be included in loot drops. That would take ALOT of the immersion right out of the game, and I would feel like I'm playing a stupid childish game (WOW anyone?). I don't know, just my thoughts.

I don't think it would hurt the immersion at all if done properly. But that is if it is done properly.

I was just thinking. Why would a Sansha BS have a gaming card in their hold when I make them go boom? That is what of I was kind of getting at.

If it was a very popular game throughout the universe the chance would be slim, but it would be there. I don't see an immersion problem.

Don't see a problem here...take any kind of Sci-fi/fantasy form out there (books, games, tv,...), and all spacefaring vessels of some magnitude have some form of dice/card/chess variant.
Why would a Sansha Bs have cards on board? To pass the time, gamble, etc...

I absolutely loved the Arcomage minigame in Might and Magic VII. Such a thing properly implemented in EVE would be great. I am not so sure about loot drops though, as since the cards would likely never be destroyed they would soon flood the market. Could be stuff in deadspace structures though maybe, replacing the drugs and elite slaves and whatnot.

Awesome idea! Adding the cardgame to be playable in game by collecting cards in various ways (up to CCP) and playing against other players for cards, for isk, or just for fun would add more excellent content to the game. While not everyone would enjoy it, I believe many would and so long as the card game doesn't affect other game aspects then there would be no problems with people who wouldn't want to play it.
The actual mechanics of whether there is a lobby with people at tables looking to play such as with an internet poker or chess game for example (metaphorically speaking of course), or whether you actually have to be in the same station or vacinity(sp) as a player is up to you CCP.

I agree. Collect a certain card or X number of that card in game and trade it in + pay isk (or cash if thats more necessary) to have 1 of that card mailed to you in real life.

It'd be nice to have EVE CCG packs as comodities for the fun of it (like Tragic: The Gathering packs in Fallout 2 anyone?) But really I think having a version of the CCG ingame would somewhat defeat the object of all the hard work thats gone into the CCG.

I'll /sign it. All my points and dislikes have been addressed, and I'm in agreeance. It sounds like a good idea. Might require a bit of storyline with it, just so... it's not... play me!! It's... this is why I should play.
You could then thrown in a betting table or some form of gambling on the card games. You know... bet on who will win. Have a table for it so lots of players can bet(like the NFL in America), or just do it player to player (I bet you 2 million that I'll win... Deal).
It sounds fun... cause... I'm not buying the card game, but that only reason I won't is because I'll have nobody to play it with. In-game solves that.

I think it would actually improve the sales on the CCG by a load since people could try it in game and learn to love it and of course then would want it as a real game as well.
And i also don't think it should "disturb" current content.
Adding other games and stuff like that would also be something on "my list". Stations should have stuff like that... it would be so awsome to play some funny games with friends while sitting on a station.

Also, make it so you can buy booster packs with ISK (hey CCP, another ISK sink for you!). You can then break them open like contains and 7 or however many cards there are per pack get added to your deck.

I think this is an awesome idea as well. I would start paying for the cards if they had a little code on them that activated them in the game as well. more content is always a good thing, and eve needs a minigame.

I really do not want to see the cards added in game as loot or anything of that sort. However with that said I'd LOVE to see some sort of mini version of the card game put in as a playable mini game while docked in stations (maybe like a friendly poker game with other pilots for example with the possiblity of isk bets and whatnot). I mean in this way it doesn't ruin the immersion and its sort of an advertisement for the real card game.
This sort of reminds me of the old /gems (I think thats it) for everquest (think it was removed back in the day though when they revamped the UI. Dunno if it was ever added back).

I would love to see it ingame.
But in no way should obtaining cards, either by Purchasing the CCG in RL or IG, should cards have a usage for normal play. No activation codes for anthything. We don;t want to start the slippery slope of CCP selling an In game bonus for RL money's

A card game based on the real game is bad enough, the 1980's are over, computers aren't just for rich people and universities anymore.
Putting the card game in the real game, is like the above, only worse, and redundant on top of it all.

Another no for the idea.
Including this kind of thing would take a great effort, effort that I would like to be spent solving bugs and bettering the main game. Just think how hard it's been for magic the gathering to get the game that does that. Frankly, it'd be a completelly different game (card vs mmog) and one will detract of the other.
On the FF8 theme... I didn't dislike the card game, but I hated when I had to play to continue.
If you need to play a game while playing just get a portable console or play something else while playing eve, just not in it.

there is a code on each card that is sold, and it activates the card in game as well. I guess its too late to implement that now though  . I always thought that was a great idea though.

I thought about this idea and it would be fun to have some sort of mini-game but I would like to see it include just buying booster packs (a number of random cards) in-game from NPC stations then when they are bought they are instantly added to your collection (maybe another section on the character sheet?) and cannot be re-sold. You can then use them and gamble with people so you can loose or gain ISK by playing this game but cards arent sold or looted etc. These packs aren't too expensive but cards cannot be sold/traded because this will encourage EULA breaking activities (sad but true).
