EVE Online Offers Cool Extras with Retail Release
CCP, creators of EVE Online, announced last year that they would be releasing EVE Online as a retail version as well as digital download. Well, they just released a PR that details some cool extras that one gets with the retail box.
From the PR:
Breaking with tradition, the collection of extras will include 60 days of free game time, a departure from the standard 30 days offered for most MMOGs, allowing players to sign up and get started without paying any subscription fees for the first 60 days of a new account.
Players redeeming the code to activate a new account will also receive these special in-game items:
- INSTANT WAR ACCESS: This certificate allows rapid access to organized combat (through increased standings), helping new players get into the action quickly.
- EXCLUSIVE CAREER GUIDE: Accessed via the website to allow for dynamic updates, the guide includes insider tips and tricks.
- VIP PASS: Use this card to invite a friend to try the game for 21 days. When that friend becomes an EVE Online subscriber, you will get an additional 30 days of free game time.
- EXCLUSIVE IN-GAME SHIP: An exclusive new ship, the Interbus Shuttle, will allow players to fly in style with an increased capacity cargo hold to ferry those extra crucial items at high speeds.
In conjunction with Atari, the retail version of EVE Online is scheduled for release in North America on March 10th, and Europe and the Asia Pacific regions beginning March 12th. The MSRP is $34.95/€39.99.
