EVE: The Second Decade Collector’s Edition Includes Unique Items
It is hard to believe, but EVE Online is over ten years old. This unique space MMO has survived a huge amount of technological and game design changes and still remains strong. The key to its success has undoubtedly been its unique player-driven universe, where player actions sometimes have more influence than the developers on the ongoing story of the game.
To celebrate this history and the EVE universe’s new venture DUST 514, a massively multiplayer shooter exclusively on PS3, CCP Games have released the Eve: The Second Decade Collector’s Edition. This limited release edition features several unique and rare collectibles sure to please any fan of the EVE universe.
CCP Games CEO Hilmar Veigar described what this collector’s edition meant to him and the whole EVE community:
The EVE universe has grown for over ten years in unimaginable ways thanks to the endless and unique passion of its player. This collector’s edition is not only a celebration of EVE Online’s history and a glimpse towards its future, but also a tribute to its players and the legendary stories and adventures that they have brought to the EVE Online experience. It is their universe after all!
The collection of both physical and in-game items in this set will definitely appeal to EVE Online veterans, but newcomers to the franchise will also find much to like.
The box contains:
- A four-port USB hub shaped like the “Rifter” ship in EVE Online.
- Hardcover book detailing the history of EVE called Into the Second Decade.
- An English adaptation of an Icelandic board game The Danger Game that was created by CCP Games before EVE Online and brought them much of the resources needed for its development.
- A live recording of the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra playing the EVE Online soundtrack.
- A CCP Mystery code–a digital code that will confer several benefits to players including a PLEX (a unit of currency in the game equivalent to one month’s game time), a “Phanca” cybernetic arm for us by EVE Online characters, and a Templar Mark II Prototype for the upcoming game Eve: Valkyrie.
Purchasers will also get several in-game items with the collector’s edition:
- The “Golden Pod” skin
- “Gnosis” blueprint
- “Time Capsule”–an assortment of historic EVE Online items.
- An Amarr Magnate frigate skin
- New clothing options
- Amarr weapons and “Templar” dropsuits for DUST 514
EVE: The Second Decade Collector’s Edition is available for $149.99/€149.99 through the EVE store, Amazon, or Flashpoint (for residents of Germany).
