FanFest is less than a month away and we're all excited about it! It will have the latest announcements from CCP through broadcasted panels, presentations, PvP tournament coverage, the “Make EVE Real” science lectures, and the famous Party at the Top of the World, among other to-be-announced events. However, we know that not everyone can make it out to Iceland for FanFest. As always, we'll be streaming the entire thing on our Twitch.tv channel for free. We are also offering a high definition stream for a one-time fee of $19.95 USD or one PLEX.

The EVE Fanfest high definition stream includes:

    Three full days of HD programming live from Fanfest
    Access to the HD stream of the 24 April pre-Fanfest livestream with CCP developers who will give exclusive details about what to expect at the big event
    A choice of one of four unique industry ship skins for EVE Online: the Inner Zone Shipping Iteron (Gallente), Tash-Murkon Bestower (Amarr), Nefantar Mammoth (Minmatar) or Wiyrkomi Tayra (Caldari).

Fanfest 2014 Live Stream Promo Ship Skins

    Digital copies of the Fanfest 2014 "Quafe" Tshirt for EVE Online (one male and one female)
    Subscriber-only giveaways and chat emotes during streams



While the HD stream can be purchased through CCP or Twitch.TV, only viewers purchasing the stream through CCP's EVE Online account management system at https://secure.eveonline.com/fanfest/stream.aspx will receive the in-game promo items.

Meh. Extremely underwhelming.

Eh, I'm still getting it. I'm a sucker for in game goodies. Even the underwhelming variety.

Hm, well we already have a lot of Quafe shirts floating around... would have been nice to have an InterBus shirt or something. Probably won't ever use the ship skin, definitely won't use and stream chat emotes.

But its just a Plex and I enjoyed watching the streams at work last year so I'll probably buy in again.

Like Makoto I am unimpressed, with the price of PLEX being what it is, and £16.99 being a not inconsiderable sum for roughly 30 hours of mostly filler footage (that will be on youtube within a week) and some virtual items that will depreciate to a handful of ISK within a week.

Previous events were interesting, if not awe inspiring.  I love EVE, but fanfest has been a primarily marketing event with much said that comes to nothing (IE every word breathed about Dust in 2012 never came to pass) - so the 'perks' are the make or break for me. 

In this case, CCP have gotten their grubby mits on a prize cash cow and somehow managed to curdle the proceeds before the first tug.
