Hey guys,I really,REALLY need you're help here.

Since I live in Brazil, and there are NONE COX events,and the NCSoft distributor sucks hard,I think there's no way for me to get any Game codes for costumes.And I really like the PPD Shell costume.So,is there any way for me to get another PPD Shell costume code?
Or is there any prevision for when they will be offering costume codes again?

Occasionally, costume codes are posted through the forums, Facebook or Twitter. If you happen to be the first person to apply it to your account, you get whatever costume the code was for.

They also used to have weekly contests where they gave them away for solving word puzzles, a mystery image, and captioning a picture. These are on hiatus for the time being. Between these three giveaways, the mass of giveaways on Twitter, the forums, and Facebook and the ongoing contests, I'm not surprised that they're scaling things back for a bit.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Just chipping in to wish you luck in your quest for the elusive costume code. I'd kill for a Dark Ring Mistress costume myself, so I feel your pain. No helpful advice, just wishing you luck!

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

It's the only booster thus far I feel no particular urge to buy. I don't stand around doing emotes often enough to want to spend money on a few more.

This. None of the costume codes have ever been available for money from NCsoft, only from people who won some and resold them. Costume codes have always been given out as in-game events or as prizes for promotional contests online.

The costume codes aren't even that common when you attend the dev events, they don't throw them out like beads at Mardi Gras or anything. Just keep staying tuned for contests!

There's also the possibility of the Halloween event being right around the corner, and you can get one of the temporary Hardsuit costumes to keep you satisfied for a few weeks.

Most are given out during *in-game* events or for online promotions. Your best bet is to keep an eye on the community digest for announcements.
