EVE Online Retail Bonuses

Eurogamer outlines the perks to be included in the upcoming retail boxed version of EVE Online, CCP's science fiction MMORPG. The bonuses, available to existing subscribers as well as newcomers, include a 60 day subscription, a special ship, a head start in faction standings, an insider career guide, and the ability to gift friends with extended VIP trials in the game that can earn bonus time if the friend subscribes. The boxed version is expected in stores next month.

Well, thanks guys for the insight. Much more info than I expected and not even one trip across the Jersey state line.

Anyway, I think I might hold off for now. It seems like EVE requires a lot (if not all) of time to devote to it, which isn't in an abundant supply for me right now. The concept sounds very interesting - some aspects sound very X3-ish. Corps, blueprints, stuff like that. Just much more social.

One thing that caught my attention is that higher ranked players can invade the noob areas and reek havoc. That doesn't sound like a very good design decision to me. Granted, life isn't fair but it would be extremely frustrating and I don't think that's the goal of the game - or any game. I would have thought that players past a certain level would not be able to enter a newbie area, or if they could, not be able to fight. Are all MMORPG's similar in this respect? (If you haven't guessed - yes, I'm a major noob when it comes to MMO's. My specialty is sims, particularly racing and space sims)...
