EVE Time Cards.
Yes, My troll friends, I could just go to the Internet ETC stores, but then whats the difference between them and buying tme from CCP?
I've heard that ETC used to be sold in stores, but the Cards were Discontinued.
Just, a question, but, if you Sell boxes of EVE in Gamestops, why not sell Time cards?
Your already distributing the Game online!
You could Discontinue the Boxed Games, and Sell Time Cards there.
Cant you fit more little Plastic cards in a Cargo Container as opposed to large boxed sets?
I would appreciate CCP replying on this, in some way shape or form.
Please?
tl;dr
Bring Back ETC in stores.

Because, my friend, I don't wanna use my Debit/Credit Card.
How many people do you think go into Gamestop everyday?
Maybe a dozen a Day.
Now, Multiply that by all the Gamestops.
a Large amount of exposure to the masses.
Its like Adverts on TV, Online, or On the Stores window.
Only you don't have to pay for it.
In fact, this Advert Pays you.
This suggestion is as much as a Help for CCPs main money maker as it is for our convenience, for those not wanting to use a Credit/Debit card. |

I know its easier said then done to merge the EVE and Dust economy but CCP would make a killing on ETC if this was the case who-áwouldn't-ápay $30 for a billion isk... Sure it would make risk vs reward and PC meaningless and all that jazz but **** there are Dust corps and even some players running around with a few billion already and now with player to player transfer that isk is gonna start moving around quick.. |

No, I mean that Cards, similar to Gift Cards, in stores.
It could be like PLEX.
But that is a CCP Oversight.
All I want is a Card that I can just Pedal my ass to Gamestop, grab a Card, and Pedal my ass back.
I've tried the Trial in EVE, and I Like it a lot, and if these come out, Ima Make a EVE character with the Same Name as this one |

until they do this.. you could go and buy a prepaid visa at the grocery store and use that to pay for your sub online.
At least that way you're debit information is protected.
Or.. do like I did and go to your bank, open a second checking account, put absolutely no overdraft protection on it and use that to pay for your online purchases. (this was actually suggested by my bank, so I went ahead and did it cause it was free and yolo and all that) |

100,000x15=1.5 Million Dollars a Month.
Don't you think that a Little tiny bit is going towards DUSTs devs? |

You cant Post on the EVE forums with a Trial Account.
And if your going to say get a EVE account, why do you think that I am suggesting this?
Cause I have a EVE account and are Happy with using Debit Card, but I am suggesting it so I don't have to use the Debit card?
Hmm...

I Just want to Know Why those Online ETC store have them?
If I want ETC I would go to CCP and buy a PLEX, not buy a ETC from some Website.
And, as I said, Hard Copies of ETC/PLEX would be free Adverts, and could get some people to buy a PLEX on impulse, and they find themselves liking the Game, and Voila, a New Paying Customer. |

Yes, those are ways to pay, but a simple, straight forward way to pay Hard cash for GT would allow those, like myself, who don't know about the roundabout ways, to buy GT with no hassle, no trouble, and again, Its Free Advertising.
In right there for you buy, in the place you go to buy things.
Two Reasons that The Cards are Feasible.
One. Your Already Sending boxed sets of EVE overseas, and by replacing the Large Boxes with small Cards, you save space, and therefore, you could have way more Money made in each Box sent.
Two. You don't have to distribute the Game in Boxed Sets at all anymore, considering that your already distributing EVE online for the Most part. Just Put on the Card "Get The Client Online" So those who might not know that they Give EVE out online know where to get it. |

Well, Meeko,, you better get use to a cashless society because with the way everyone is running around with plastic cards and smartphones with near-field communications, hard cash may become a thing of the past. Many governments including that of the US are already looking into ways to slowly do away with cash. Did you know that a penny costs more to produce than what it's actually worth? Did you know that paper money is actually worth something so long as the US Government keeps its promise of maintaining its value? That's why they call it a federal reserve note. |

So Much for the Mystical 7 Folds....
Well, at least until the End of the Dollar, People are going to use it.
What Im saying is, is that the Boxed Disc Sets they Send out could be replaced with the ETCs, and they would Make more Money per Box.
Its an Option to use hard Cash.
Not Saying, Delete the Option to Subscribe from your Website, or anything like that.
Just swap the Needless Discs with Time Cards. |

Using a prepaid card is literally just buying a card, how you guys dont seem to understand that is mind boggling |

Yeah which is, surprise surprise, just buying a card and no more difficult than buying a PSN card Hell its even easier since that prepaid cards information is saved and you wont have to reenter it everytime you want to make another purchase unlike a PSN card Unless you guys are underage or something I dont see why you want to limit yourself |

You don't get it, why do you not want physical ETC?
I understand that you can get a prepaid debit card, but then every time that it runs out you need to get a new one.
ETC would just have you go to store, buy card, use card and don't second guess how much time you have in game.
Why are you opposed to this? |

Dude, their 2x3 inch cards with little numbers printed on em!
And also, they are already shipping **** overseas, like that board game, or that art book?
So they are already manufacturing things like the EVE second decade sets, so making 2 by 3 inch cards is just beyond them?
Sorry if I am sounding like I'm trolling you, but I'm just making a point. |

Cash? What's that?
/part trolling, part serious
If you go to get a cell phone you need to have a bank account. Already I'm starting to hear in bigger cities that cash is no longer an acceptable form of currency since it's so easy to.... there's a word I want to use... con-something.... I'll say impersonate even though that's wrong.
Anyways if you want a EVE account, best get a bank account or a prepaid card. CCP will probably be starting to go down the route where cash is no longer acceptable. ETC's are actually more costly to a small publisher anyways. |

Don't you think that a Little tiny bit is going towards DUSTs devs?
That's irrelevant. The may be the Eve universe, but this game is not Eve online. |

If you want to go to the store and buy time with cash, you can do that. If you prefer plastic to buy things, then you can assuming the retailer accepts it. |

Since I my Bumps managed to arouse CCP attention, perhaps my dear friends at CCP Shanghai could relay this request to the Marketing/Sales Department of CCP Iceland.
Again, from my OP, I have heard that the ETCs used to be sold in card form. Also, they were discontinued.
I am assuming they were discontinued because nobody bought them enough for the Major Retailer (i.e. Gamestop, Walmart, etc.) to consider them a viable product.
Of course, this was when EVE could be considered, a Underground Hit/Surprise. Now, considering the Sizable amount of EVE subscribers, half a million, no doubt it is more well known, and through that, people will hear of it, and see the cards next time they go to said store, remember the ad the saw, or the friend they have who plays it and says its good, and buys a Card.
Money in hand, subber in pocket.
Again, I would desire more replies as to keep this post relevant, and more posts from devs and CPM.
Thank you.

What your asking for will not happen, and the reason is vey likely economic. I'm sure that any brick & mortar retailer gets a cut from the sale of these cards, otherwise they would never have carried them in their stores, plus the cards themselves cost a certain amount to manufacture, plus distribution costs of actually getting the cards to the stores. CCP cuts out the middle man by processing subscriptions online, probably using their own merchant account (that I'd bet has a much better rate than most retailers, since I would expect they have a pretty low CB ratio). They don't have to buy the physical cards, they don't have to pay for distribution, for manufacture, for probably a sales forces to keep in contact with the stores to make sure the product is moving correctly, to pay for the loss or destruction of cards, to pay somebody to design the cards, then redesign periodically to maximize sales, etc, etc, ad infinitium, ad nauseum.
You're basically asking CCP to make it more expensive to process recurring subscriptions. They are not going to intentionally cut into their own profit margins. It's never gonna happen. Give it up dude. |

Its 2 by 3 inch card that's 1/8 inch thick.
I mean not to troll you, but you can buy Hard ETC from various online retailers, a list is right here.
So CCP isn't paying any more to make the cards then to they are now, and they already have a card design on the Interweb, they just need to transfer it onto a 2 by 3 inch piece of plastic with a scratch off sticker to cover the code.
So, there's the Making of the cards, the cards designs out of the way, so all that there really needs to be accounted for is the shipping and handling for 2 by 3 inch plastic cards.
Now I don't play myself to be a master on the intricacies of Mailing, but usually, its by weight.
And I also don't play myself as a master of gravity, but 2 by 3 inch plastic cards don't really seem very heavy, so you could pack 15-20 dollars worth of product, i.e. game time, in a very small, and light package, and all you have to do is just make em, and get the major retails, like Supermarkets, Game Stores, the Odd Convenience Store, to buy them, and they can mark it up whatever percentage they want to, as from then on, its on them.
If they don't sell, then I don't believe that its on the cards not being wanted.
You just saw 2 and a half pages (I say that, cause half this thread was me Bumping it for CCP recognition) of people that said they would pay for these, just as I would.
It then would be the Retailers fault for marking it up like crazy, and expecting it to sell.
That is all.
I seem to be a fan of great long spiels whenever I post on this thread. |
