Ethyn Caldari Wings of Redemption	Posted - 2007.02.12 02:47:00 - [1] Does anyone know of a place to purchase the Eve Online retail box? I bought the game online, but would really like to know if it's possible to get a old retail version of the game. Thanks! Ethyn GO Fast or Die!
oDDiTy V2 Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.02.12 02:57:00 - [2] might be able to find one on ebay, or if you're lucky some game store near you will have a dust-covered copy hidden somewhere on a dark back shelf :P NΨ
Synapse Archae Amarr Solarflare Heavy Industries Pure.	Posted - 2007.02.12 02:59:00 - [3] I keep wondering if I should dig out the old box/jewel case/manual and take photos to show all the people who missed out on buying the game. - - - These elite slaves are exceptionally well suited for physical labor.

xOm3gAx Caldari Stain of Mind DAMAGE INC...	Posted - 2007.02.12 03:13:00 - [5] if i can find it ill toss some screenies up showing the retail box and such but they are kinda hard to find tbh. ----------- "Mercinaries never die, we just go to hell to regroup." -xOm3gAx '99
Arch Revenant Gallente The Legion of Spoon Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.12 03:22:00 - [6] Microcenter carries it. It's a good computer store as well. And I'm not just saying that because I have a part time job there :) Be one with the fork. The path of the fork is the one true path.
Arch Revenant Gallente The Legion of Spoon Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.12 03:25:00 - [7] Scratch that. It looks like we discontinued it :( Be one with the fork. The path of the fork is the one true path.
Kamekazi	Posted - 2007.02.12 03:44:00 - [8] I scored 2 copies when a local store had a discount sale
ZzZGuy	Posted - 2007.02.12 03:51:00 - [9] I paid 95 cents Canadian for the box and game. No one free month included 8-(

Rorix Whitecloud Caldari Paxton Industries	Posted - 2007.02.12 04:53:00 - [11] Originally by: Tripoli Still got my original retail box. You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers. Excatly ^_^ i <3 my EVE Online box... as well as the INFINATELY COOLER EVE Online China box... its a fricking METAL BOX! with a manual like 3 or 4 times thicker than the one the english boxed version came with :( Repopulate Low Security! Goal: To blaster-fit every Caldari ship with a gun slot! :D
prathe Minmatar Omega Enterprises Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.02.12 04:58:00 - [12] one sec i gots it here somewhere pics incomming....
Minikrimi Extreme Zephyr Manufacturing Group SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.12 04:58:00 - [13] Ah, my box is nice and clean, sitting next to all my other games. Oddly enough, I think Eve Online is the newest box on that shelf. Never really felt the need to buy another since, my goodness, was that 2003? I'd say it's been too long, but then I get the jitters just thinking about trying another game....
Karash Amerius Amarr O.E.C	Posted - 2007.02.12 05:23:00 - [14] ive got 2 copies :) Merc Blog
Najenna Minmatar Caldari Deep Space Ventures	Posted - 2007.02.12 07:54:00 - [15] Edited by: Najenna on 12/02/2007 07:51:58 Edited by: Najenna on 12/02/2007 07:51:43 I got the Retail box and game in mint condition along with the 300 page Strategy book that gives a story for the races and shows the first tech 1 ships. The funny part is the book became obsolete the day Eve went live May 6 2003. But the stories are cool. and I have them put away in a nice clear plastic box for me to look at and brag about hehehe Once you get this Robotech thing in your blood its there to stay...
Juwi Kotch Gallente VIRTUAL LIFE VANGUARD	Posted - 2007.02.12 08:09:00 - [16] If I remember it correctly, the Chinese market got a nice retail box last year when the server over there opened. Including a massive booklet. All in Chinese, of course. Maybe you can get one in Hongkong, or when you are visiting Beijing the next time? Juwi Kotch JOIN NOW, KLICK SIG!
Weebear The Bowrey	Posted - 2007.02.12 09:39:00 - [17] Didn they not make a metal case version of the English version not long ago in the Eve store? (Round about RMR) Is still have my original retail box. The manual that came with it was perhaps the single most useless thing I have ever owned!
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2007.02.12 09:41:00 - [18] Originally by: Weebear The manual that came with it was perhaps the single most useless thing I have ever owned! This actually made me LOL slightly. Fortunately none of my colleagues were around to see what I was laughing at . ---------- IBTL \o/ EVE is upside down! WTZ+Slower Warp=Win
Tek'a Rain Gallente Isis Technologies	Posted - 2007.02.12 12:39:00 - [19] Eve Store linky for what I suppose you could call the current retail edition. considering ordering one to have more stuff on my shelf of game discs and CDs
Weebear The Bowrey	Posted - 2007.02.12 12:48:00 - [20] Originally by: prathe Edited by: prathe on 12/02/2007 05:07:59 one sec i gots it here somewhere pics incomming.... ok found it enjoy Hmmm, maybe mine isn't as original retail as I thought! Mine was in a plastic DVD case. Same cover. It could only have been a week or two after launch that I bought it!
Benco97 Gallente Multiverse Corporation	Posted - 2007.02.12 12:49:00 - [21] Hmm.. where are the Jewel-case copies from? I bought mine on release, are the jewels later versions? "MY GOD KEEP THIS AWAY FROM BENCO97!!!!!" - Constantine Arcanum

Mine was in a plastic DVD case. Same cover. It could only have been a week or two after launch that I bought it! Dito. I got the DVD case too. Via import due to the game not being availabe here on release date (still missed about 1-2 weeks tho because there was no pre order option). Now to the important stuff! How much is this DVD case worth?
Reiisha Black Eclipse Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.02.12 13:39:00 - [23] AFAIK the DVD case is the original printing, the jewel case and cardboard box are the second release. EVE History Wiki - Help us fill it!

Kehmor Caldari PAK	Posted - 2007.02.12 14:47:00 - [26] my local gaming store can get it in I believe, the owner asked me if it was worth it and I said i doubted it as most people just downlaoded it. Ask at a store and they can probably order on in, though this was a few months back.
Logi3 EVE Corporation 1631	Posted - 2007.02.12 14:59:00 - [27] If your in the UK then some game shops still have them. Mate picked one up for ú4.99 with a free month trial. Wish i thought about that after starting my 2nd account!
Viktor Fyretracker Caldari Worms Corp	Posted - 2007.02.12 15:17:00 - [28] Quote: The manual that came with it was perhaps the single most useless thing I have ever owned! most if not all MMO manuals are useless outside of telling you the basic keyboard shortcuts and default key layouts. because the game has changed in some cases even since the disc has shipped.
Anderi Bourdieu Hadean Drive Yards Archaean Cooperative	Posted - 2007.02.12 15:20:00 - [29] I bought it about 2-3 weeks after retail: Front of the Box Inside Cover Back of the Box The whole package The 'manual' More of the 'manual' ________________________________________________ Captain Anderi Bourdieu - Hadean Drive Yards
D'onryu Shoqui Vengeance of the Fallen Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.12 15:43:00 - [30] ive still got my original dvd case version published by crucial entertainment :D bought it on the day the servers came up ^^ damn "game" shop wouldnt sell it to me before the day the servers went live for some stupid reason! even though everywhere else "GAME" were fine selling it before then. if i remember right the official release date was before the servers were live anyway? ------------------------------ My opinions are my own and not that of the alliance i belong to.
Kye Do'lan Gallente The Whitesands Consortium	Posted - 2007.02.12 15:50:00 - [31] Originally by: D'onryu Shoqui ive still got my original dvd case version published by crucial entertainment :D Me too.... the only other games I've bought in the last 3 years were HL2 and Rome Total War....nothing compares to Eve......It's too damned addictive [
Ifni Developmental Neogenics Amalgamated	Posted - 2007.02.12 15:54:00 - [32] I have a copy of the Chinese retail box, complete with metal box, Chinese booklet and cd. It's still inside its original plastic wrapping, so I can ony give you photos of the outside. You take what is offered. And that must sometimes be enough.
D'onryu Shoqui Vengeance of the Fallen Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.12 16:10:00 - [33] just took some pics of my UK version of Eve its my wifes digi cam ! i barely know how to take a photo so dont complain about the quality lol stupid camera has to many options and i forgot to turn on macromode inside teh box COVER ú29.99 ! what a bargain! a shot from inside the games manual old ship ui readout pwns! ------------------------------ My opinions are my own and not that of the alliance i belong to.
xOm3gAx Caldari Stain of Mind DAMAGE INC...	Posted - 2007.02.23 03:04:00 - [34] the jewel case is from early castor ;) ----------- "Mercinaries never die, we just go to hell to regroup." -xOm3gAx '99
Broadcast Caldari hirr Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.02.23 04:11:00 - [35] Here's one of my unopened copies sitting next to something just as rare, one of my unread copies of the strategy guide... completely useless now, except for some light reading and a historic look at the game in it's early days...some interesting tidbits, ships had a stat called max passengers, I guess CCP wanted to treat scientists, refugees, marines etc as a different type of cargo, and the Heron started off as a mining ship... Linkage
Locus Bey Gallente Qalandar	Posted - 2007.02.23 05:43:00 - [36] you can have my box if you want it, its a box ffs!
Ombey	Posted - 2007.02.23 06:02:00 - [37] I bought 2 copies, both DVD case. One in 2004 ish, and then again when I restarted playing in 2005. They have slightly different manuals to each other, and make great reading when you see how much the game has changed -- ombeve
DorXtar	Posted - 2007.02.23 07:28:00 - [38] I've heard legends that some boxes came with Golden T2 BPO tickets redeemable in-game for the real thing.
Shirow Miyazaki Amarr Hunter Military Industries	Posted - 2007.02.23 09:26:00 - [39] I bought a boxed copy late 2005, but only had the balls to actually try it "pay-monthly mmo? " when i started uni and a friend mentioned it in passing. However the boxed version just had the disc and the code, i then saw an unboxed version with the manual (?) for a couple of quid, so now i have the dvd box, the manual and 2 discs, however because it was unboxed there was no key-code, so i had to get a second account the "normal" way
Araxmas Black Lance Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2007.02.23 09:44:00 - [40] WTF!! Ah i've got the dvd case version from about over 2 years ago..... ..and it never had no manual -------- Robbie Rotten left me
DOGNOSH Minmatar Rage of Angels Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.02.23 09:49:00 - [41] there is one for sale on the USA site of a famous auction house I haven't got one but my friend has, he doesn't play so might call him and ask him to send it to me -------------------------
Major Stormer Caldari Celestial Apocalypse Insurgency	Posted - 2007.02.23 09:50:00 - [42] You can buy my EVE box, with CD, in mint condition, for 5 billion ISK.
Jim Pooley	Posted - 2007.02.23 09:51:00 - [43] Got 2 for some reason, one has the manual too. However, am I right that they would be useless now due to new hardware IP address change? ------------------------------------------ Mines a Pint of Large
Tek'a Rain Gallente Isis Technologies	Posted - 2007.02.23 10:52:00 - [44] no, but there have been so many updates and patches that the autoloader would stare at you funny. you would, in theory, have to go to the patch archieves and patch from one level to the next a dozen times or so before you got to something that would autoload. downloading the full client directly would take a fraction of that time and trouble.
Snort Bilger Caldari Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.02.23 12:11:00 - [45] I have one! It's really great to have the manual around when you feel lost in eve...NOT!
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Freelancer Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.23 13:35:00 - [46] GAME still carry a few. Its where I bought mine, not a year and a half ago. I only bought it because it was a fiver and had a month free subscription with it -------- Originally by: Constantine Arcanum most problems can be solved with chloroform.

Broadcast Caldari hirr Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.02.24 19:38:00 - [48] Edited by: Broadcast on 24/02/2007 19:35:40 What CCP should do, is release a collector's edition box set, with a CD of the latest build, audio CD, full manual, artbook, a unique ingame ship or mod, and a CCG starter deck all in a beautifully designed box embossed with the eve logo... I'd happily pay 200 for such a thing... Everyone else in the industry had one... wow, lineage2, coh, guild wars, autoassault, ultima, star wars, eq2...etc etc
