...CCP gave me a dildo. Are they trying to tell me something...?

Both my chars got the same thing...twas furious that I had two Herons and not two Magnates...until I traded one of the Herons for a Magnate with a corp mate. Big smile

Other then that CCP decided to tease me with a Key to Open the door.....I wasn't even in eve when Incarna came out...WHY CCP WHY.

And The 'Model Gallente Cruiser' is being locked at the bottom of the footlocker until whenever I manage to get two female dancers through the door...just need to get that dam key working.

Shitposts so bad CONCORD gave me a 50 billion ISK bounty

Lol

..I got the Imicus on my Alt and the Probe on my main. I renamed the Probe "Storage box" and put all my present's in it. My alt isn't that important, so I just left all his stuff in his hangar.

I got:


  • Carbon - I think I remember that quote from somewhere here.
  • Rules of Engagement
  • 3 kill listsCool
  • I forgot What?

  • and my favorite..

  • Little Helper: Female Smile

The devs are caldari lovers? That explains why most of their ships are garbage and the ones that aren't get nerfed every now and then.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

Hmmm, so people are seeing some sort of hidden message from CCP in their gifts?

This is what I got:

1x Carbon
1x Donut Holder
1x Genolution Core Augmentation CA-2
1x Key Pass to Open the Door
1x NEO YC 114: Perihelion Beryllium Duralumin
1x NEO YC 114: Raiden, 58th Squadron
1x NEO YC 114: The HUNS
1x Replica Gallente Cruiser
300x Snowball CXIV
1x Sukuuvestaa Heron


Would have been nice to get the mini monolith and the stars.... Oh well.


Anyway, I don't see any hidden message other than to go out and pelt some players with snowballs since they'll expire on 2013.02.01

Great! More snowballs!
Oh joy a new ship!
Oh hell no! This has got to be a mistake! You stay there!
Hey you,hangar crewmen! Has the freighter that delivered this stuff undocked yet?!
I seem to have received this Little Helper,Male by mistake. Hey! I'm talking to you!(walks off)

To reply to the topic,
I appreciate the gifts, I have collectables from my time in EvE and these are just as valuable to me as my Zephyr or Apotheosis or anything else.

I watched local today and saw some folks complaining about the gifts they got and it crossed my mind that we should not be concerned with "what" we got, but rather be happy that we have a group of DEVs who think enough of us to give us a gift/multiple gifts during the season.

but then i got sad thinking of all the other people in other MMORPGs who are doing without gifts and that made me appreciate EvE even more.

Thanks everyone.

My Amarr pilot got Heron.
My Caldari pilot got Imicus.
My Gallente pilot got Magnate.

So it looks like it's just random.


You realise you only need to train for less than an hour to have the skills to fly these ships, right?

Give a man a match and you warm him for a day.

Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life!

... If you're a short-attention span, lotsa explosions lover.

However if you like quality movies go see it.
