As settlers explored the dark, unknown regions of space, they discovered a
celestial port that led to a beautiful and expansive system. It was the gateway
to a place they dubbed “New Eden”. Rich in minerals and resources, New Eden was
bombarded with throngs of pilots hoping to stake their claim amongst fighters,
pirates and corporations. Millions flourished in wealth and millions more died
in warfare before the wormhole suddenly closed, severing the colonists from
Earth – forever. A dark age fell upon New Eden for thousands of years before
four dominant nations-states emerged: Amarr, Minmatar, Gallente, Caldari.
With more than 250,000 pilots existing within one persistent universe, create
your own epic story – from the moment you enter the vast galaxy as a humble
pilot commanding a small frigate to the day you lead your own corporation
against the tyranny of powerful factions. Grab the controls and set course
toward your imminent destiny in EVE Online coming to retail for the first time.
Features:
EVE Online coming to retail for the first time: This boxed version will
include the game client, 60 days of subscription time and exclusive extras. It
will also include all nine previously released EVE Online expansions
More than 250,000 players all on one server: More than 40,000 players
regularly play together within one single-shard, persistent universe. The
dynamic economy is entirely player-operated, from the manufacturing of ships and
equipment, to trading in commodities, to the construction of space stations
Skill advancement never ends: The unique training system allows you to
continue training new skills even while you’re offline – and there is no final
level cap
PVP based on skill, not skill level: Tactics and strategy are the name of the
game. The quicker you grasp warfare techniques, the faster you’ll prevail in
Award-winning Player-vs-Player, ship-to-ship combat engagements
Unmatched versatility in gameplay: Your destiny is uniquely yours. With more
than twelve different bloodlines and an ever-expanding arsenal, you can modify
your character, ship and playing style to best fit your needs at any given time
This Eve Online Package Contains:
- 60 Day Game Time – Useable by both new and current players.
- Instant War Access – Retail box buyers will receive an in-game
certificate that will give them instant access to Factional Warfare, while
other users have to spend considerable time earning the right to fight for
the factions.
- Career Guide – For the first in the history of EVE, CCP will offer
players goals in the form of what career they want to pursue and the inside
advice on how to get there. This might become the biggest thing in this box
if this works well.
- VIP Pass – Players are told how they can invite their friends and give
them VIP Access to EVE Online in the form an extended trial and if the
friend becomes a subscriber the player will get a 30 day free game time
added to their account.
- Special Edition Ship – Players will get an exclusive ship in-game. It is
special type of a shuttle that is ideal to move things around due to much
increased cargo space. This is the first time CCP has created an exclusive
ship, so we believe our current player base will be very interested in this.
