Those are pretty freakin' sweet. Too bad I won't be registering...btw good job on the texture, Rarebit.
edit: see Rare, this is how you can raise money for MxO. Make people pay $40 for special items.

I'll wait for the black super Hi-Res denims ^_^
Oh goodness goodness goodness....
Do the female ones have pockets on the back? I didn't think they did but I was just curious ;D
Time to find a new matching shirt for my new look.
The friday/saturday passes will work for these, right?
Whoa @ texture. Very very nice.

I can't wait to see these with a Verdigris 
Mind applying that level of detail to the rest of the ingame clothing?
Not gonna pay real life money for ingame jeans.
ummm
i dont mean to be all negative/positive but this whole fanfair thing with u getting in-game clothing iz WRONG!
u mean to tell me resources have been spent on creating a clothing item that only people will get if they actually register for this stupid fanfair situation? giving soe additional money to support them and they are not supporting the game we love?
get out!
im sorry but i think it is wrong to do this and i know it was done last year too. it has to stop, have soe make some coffee mugs and r/l t-shirts but i say hellll noooo to the special in game clothing item that everyone cant enjoy, it just isnt right!
i suggest that blue jeans be available to everyone, clothing items are hard to come by anyway!
i hope u didnt waste a clothing spot for that bullcrap!

No, it didn't take out a clothing spot.
So, by this line of thinking no one should have the:
The pants are a visual momento of your time at the Fan Faire (or your willingness to pay $39/$89). If you wanted to, you could get them. Also in regards to dev time "wasted" on designing them, I would imagine Rarebit is getting more experienced at adding textures and coloring to items. By working on these pants, he might have learned more about how to skin new clothing to make everything later on look better.
Don't want to wear the jeans? Fine, don't go to Fan Faire or pay the money. But complaining that a pair of jeans is a reason why we lack content is just beyond me.

Yeah, it's not like there's mega buffs on them that make them unfair. It's the same thing as if we had vet rewards, some people would get them due to the money they've paid to play the game, others have not paid so much yet so they don't get it.
Dang those look very nice RareBit!!
:*( no $$$ tho for shtuff like that atm!
:*( no $$$ tho for shtuff like that atm!
so you actually HAVE to pay the 39 bux to get the jeans (finish the whole registration process) or just simply log on to that registration page? I hope it isnt the former.... 
I'm glad I decided to go this year and not last. Last years wasn't very neat imo, glad I'll be getting a pair of nice Cypherite gear to go with my Vegas trip.
Those pants look hot!
EDIT: Do i have to get the All-Access Pass to get the pants?

By the way, the Image Retrieval mentions MXO getting "other" jeans, so I just want to be clear on this--there will be other jeans, not related to Fan Faire, that use a similar texture base as the Deep Blue Jeans. But they'll be pretty much totally bleached out, and also scuffed up. Eh... I'll have a decent screen of one of those sometime in the next week, maybe. I did slip an avatar sneak peak/comparison in a day or so ago, although that doesn't show all the wear around the knees and so on:

Oooh, these look snazzy 
What I find funny is that nobody complained last year about people going getting an item or having to pay (like it was last year) to get the item. It's only now that the item *looks* even better than last years (buffs are still the same) that people pipe up.
If MxO didn't have an item for people going and people who just want to buy the item, then everyone would be outraged at SOE's 'hate' of the game.

I liked the subtle omission of blue clothing from the Matrix itself, which was in keeping with the fundamentals of the movies. At the risk of being a little melodramatic, we're ostensibly moving farther and farther away from these principles, which is disappointing.

I really wish these were not added. I know the storyline has had some extreme elements but adding the blue is breaking into a core fundamental about the Matrix.
I don't mind players who are paying to go to Fan Faire or just for the sake of getting the item are paying for it too, just how about you don't try to take peoples money just to give them an item cause it's going to be the "only blue item in the game".
/shakehead at whoevers idea it was to make them blue, to sell them.
At least seeing jeans is a positive step for extra clothing.

Bluepills but I don't really think that counts as new age matrix blue as it was original. Blue skies in constructs. Probably a few other things I'm way to hungover to remember right now.
Honestly it's a good item in my opinion. It's also a consumer incentive. Theres nothing wrong with that.

One of my favorite shirts is kinda blue, well like a teal color it looks like to me!
In the actual name it is sky green though if I remember right
Thanks very much for the extra pictures Rarebit!!

The reward isn't "how shall we reward those who come to fanfaire", it's "how shall we make extra money from more registrations", I'd like to think Rarebit tried to put up a fight to not use blue jeans.

Turquoise! That was the word I was looking for instead of teal
This item would look right at home on a Cypherite. While the main points of the films were about a greenish tint and lack of blue in the simulation, I have to say that operatives have a lot more freedom right now despite the current conflict that means wearing blue. Obviously these blue jeans won't be abundant so the colour itself will still be very rare. Although I'd have thought that a blue item of clothing would be better as a LE reward item for a Cypherite.
Still, they look decent enough and those non participating people will still be able to get the more worn versions, although they're probably going to be another item to grind for. Somtimes I wish a new item of clothing would just be included in random drops and have standard non-amazing buffs. In fact sometimes I think the grind for items (Overdrives etc...) should also be in the loot tables from NPC's only incredibly rare, rarer than getting the effect you can get from Mobius, but eh, thats just me, imagine the joy of miraculously looting an Area K off an Unlimit, although any drops like that would probably be low on stability and no purity... /shrug

The fact of the matter is the items need to be unique there are limited models as well as resources to attain such things. I guess the fact that blue hasn't been used "In actual frequency" because it has before makes me a little more numb to the fact that its game breaking or tearing away the canon. This wasn't the first.. and I wont hold my breathe about it being the last time.
Lets be brutally honest here.. anything that can invoke consumer based incentive to spend money on this game right now is a good thing at the end of the day all lore aside. Noones forcing the player base to buy these items theyl be able to get a grey version without paying. If anything the addition of this item gave the players an otherwise new item for not a single penny. I heard this argument before about people crying about beta jump.. or beta glasses.. honestly the whole thee and thou ladies and lords vibe is getting tired after playing this game since October 2004.
I think people need to lighten up and stop pretending they have any real idea what goes on in regards to the financial scope of the game. Were gamers not Warren Buffet.

I have to agree 200% on the LE item reward comment Vinia. Although theres still the possibility of uniquely shaded bandanas someday. I'm hoping maybe that RSI picture of Rarebit playing around with the Bandanas on thet female RSI might be a good omen.This item would look right at home on a Cypherite.

- I like the idea of a new item
- I like the idea that those going to fanfaire get an item
- I don't like the idea of selling the item which goes against general Matrix rules, just to give it a selling point.

I have noticed alot of people who are not attending saying they will be buying the item which is what around 40 dollars? Ill be honest I don't have exact pricing but if you take into account some may even hook their alts up that's alot more than a few buddy keys or extra players that we all know and love subscribing. On top of that the biggest and most important thing is in my opinion that the item is just plain cool.
I have a gut feeling I probably wont be able to coherently remember the majority of my trip to Vegas. The bluejeans are a nice bonus.

I honestly don't see why it's such a big deal to have blue in the matrix. C'mon... a color... breaking the foundations of the matrix?
It certainly can't be any worse than the whole re-insertion fiasco.
Also, for the record: $40 just to get a certain color of jeans just isn't worth it.
I mean honestly, if we were going to be giving out this "blue" stuff, it should've been during the SleepWalker event for crying out loud.
Seriously, the blue sky t-shirts? People wear them all the time. That's just as much of a "Matrix-breaking" blue, and the jeans will probably even be on less people.
