EVE Online developers have announced the imminent release of a new boxed edition of the game called the Commissioned Officer Edition. The new box version offers players an in-game item called the Cerebral Accelerator, which is a military-grade implant that significantly increases a new pilot's skill development.
The Commissioned Officer Edition also includes a CD key for starting a new account, 30 days paid game subscription time and an EVE poster with helpful hints and tips for getting started on the reverse side. This edition can be used to start a new account or to convert a free trial or buddy program trial account into a full account with the access and benefits afforded to all EVE subscribers. The Cerebral Accelerator will be delivered to the first character created on the account and cannot be acquired through any other source.
"The Commissioned Officers Edition is the best way for a new player to get a running start in the highly competitive environment of EVE Online" says Sr. Producer Arnar Gylfason.
Pre-orders are being accepted at North American retailers.
