Subject: MMO: Warhammer 40,000 Eternal Crusade in game item shop up.
Account creation and pre orders for the upcoming MMO: Warhammer 40,000 Eternal Crusade went live today, with various pre order packs available.
Once you have created an account and pre ordered a pack you can make a basic character profile, and you also have access to the "Rogue Trader" section, where you can purchase in game items already.
Below are screenshots of the items available to buy for in game right now, even though you won't be able to use them until.... who knows when?
Latest game footage after the images.
The game itself is not available until next year.
Bear in mind the game is still in Alpha development status.
And the teaser trailer

Looks interesting, really hoping it goes well since we haven't gotten a new and legit good 40K vid game in a while since THQ went down the pooper. Definitely gonna be playing an Ork first to test the waters before going full Stormboy or Painboy.

Ah. Always good to see a game have its real-money store up, running and fully integrated before the actual game itself is even finished. Really shows off the priorities of the people making it.

You mean besides the fact that the community itself asked for it despite thine fiery rhetoric?

Yeah saw those, those are kinda wtf and I do hope they re-adjust those prices.

It all looks standardized at the moment. For example the light Armour of all the races shown is all 5000 points. Does that mean ork light armour is no different to eldar light armour? I hope its not a case of race simply being a different skin with minor abilities such as skyrim.
Definitely gonna wait before touching this.

I've never seen a skin, limited edition or not, cost that much. Even in SWTOR the Cartel Coin only mounts are $20 when they aren't on sale, and that is a whole mount! The weapons on that are Cartel Market only are around $6, but on sale frequently for less.

This game is a good 18 months away, at least, and you will be paying for a potentially good game, not a final product and no guarantee the game will be any good when/if it is finally released. $35 for a 'exclusive' cosmetic bolter? All these things look purely cosmetic with no in game differences. No thanks. I can't help but feel the dev is exploiting peoples passion for 40k at this point. If they were more honest and ran a decent kickstarter things may be different, as it is I advise everyone to steer clear as there's no guarantee the game will see a full, polished release. By the looks of it you could spend $500+ on this only to play a buggy, unfinished version of Space Marine for almost TWO YEARS Shame on you devs
Again, this is why Early Access/paying for beta access/purchasing incomplete games is foolish. Pre-order is risk/reward, but at least you get the game (or get your money back when it gets canned). Here? No. Plus they have the gall to set up their real-money store before the game is done. I can think of another game that did that. It was called The WarZ. Look it up.
Don't buy unfinished games.

You guys did notice that you /also/ get 35000 rogue trader points in those limited edition weapon packs, right?
By the way, at the moment it is impossible to do password recovery :( So i cant buy anything until that is fixed. (and I cant make a post because the confirmation emails for new accounts arent sent out either! :()

Unless you mean to create an account. I had to migrate mine when I signed in.

FYI the game is paid for, the Founders Program was asked for by the fans. The money gained from the Founder's Program will go towards additional content for launch.
The Founder's weapons and gear are not just vanity items or skins as far as my understanding. They're limited edition items for the Founders. The devs have stated multiple times any in store gear will be similar to their counterparts in game, with slight stat variations. They call them "side grades" versus upgrades. As an example, just grabbing numbers off the top of my head to make a point, a standard bolter will fire a say 500 rounds a minute and do 50 damage a hit, the Founders Bolter in the store will fire 400 rounds a minute and do 60 damage per hit. Or... it might fire 600 rounds a minute at 40 damage per hit.
A 40$ Founder's Pack will buy you a pre-order of the game(which is projected to cost around 50$ or more at launch),will give you early access, and access to the Founder's Store. The higher priced packages are more of an investment in the games future, rather than just buying goodies(which you'll still get goodies)
Behavior has been very interactive with their fans on the forums, more so than any game I've played or been a part of pre launch. If there's something you have questions on or dont like, chime in on the forums and post your concerns. The devs have already made a few changes based off forum polls and player feedback, so our voices and concerns are being heard.
If you do decide to sign up for the Founder's program, if you don't have a buddy already signed up, please use "refer a friend" code I provided below! Thanks!

I had the same problem, dont check the "remember me everywhere" option if you're using a credit card, it's bugging out. I had to cancel my order and reorder ... and didnt use the "remember me everywhere" option, purchase went through just fine. There's also PayPal if you're still having problems.

That price is exactly the same as for the gold skinned guns available in Planetside 2.
At least the heresy weapons in EC are going to have different (sidegraded) stats.
Also, because I don't want to feel left out here is my referal code - use it when making a Founders Pack purchase and we both get an extra 4,000 RTP
