Hmmm I see some stocking stuffers ... Where are the presents that should be under the tree? The ones we have seen in the past? CCP dad musta got laid off. Times are tough kids.

The Gecko thing was great.

Geckos still are great.

Their greatness endures, and therefore so does the honour and goodwill bestowed on the visionaries who made it happen.

Can CCP afford to miss the chance at potentially equal greatness, and not distribute some serious fire power to struggling New Eden Militia?

There is a danger here that not yet great people at CCP will look back in 6 months and wonder "Could we have given the Militia, the salt of the earth who feature in our promotional videos and make us look like serious people, could we have given them something? Anything?"

But it will be too late.

wow no neat little ship or anything just some fireworks? lol I have cans full of the holiday cheer already , you know if you played wow during cata just before when they released the new tiered gear and it was just a copy of the same stuff from the previous year colored a new color , they lost 20 million subs , seems a bit familiar here , aside from the 20 million subs , h,, we have to give em something lets just do 2 days of fireworks lol , last year I think we got a cute little min shuttle painted black year before was a sansha ship? this year here we have fireworks and snow balls 2 days instead of 1 - the downhill spirial begins , lol most of the accounts showing online are just mining bots on multiple accounts - I rarely play now a days but I still have 9 accounts hulks and 1 orca - and for new players to try to get in the game is impossible plexs are 1.2-1.5 bil which now requires running incursions which for most players is a few years down the line , lol keep up the good work - nerf caldari some more , they are way to sexy and bad ace in their awesome ships - lol

Don't get too disheartened yet all, remember as kids, when you thought your parents had not really got you anything and how delighted you were when on Christmas morning a present was waiting for you and not just some random stuff in a stocking.
We knew our Parents loved us, and the little worry was simply something that added to the excitement, we knew deep down all along we could trust them and they were always there for us.

I am sure CCP don't want to take on the role of disfunctional and uncaring parents.

And I am sure they love all the people who resub at this time of year, who resub, not because it is financially worth it, but the anticipation af something nice, lets them retry the game, and maybe rediscover why they played in the past, and maybe use the new toy, to discover new space and new things.

And how those who have, if the tree is bare, find their trust is in tatters, and they never bother hoping or trying again.

Surely they wouldn't want to be that Parent, sitting in a retirement home, wondering why their Kids never call, or Visit.

Max Singularity for emperor !

Weeeee trinkets are released as of now(ish)


Booooo they cannot be put into cans or even into ships cargo "This item cannot be put into cargo containers." is the error.

Thanks for the gifts, I always look forward to these. However, out of 28 items, only 8 of them can really be used for anything besides future novel recollection of days of yore. I'd rather it was the opposite. I'd take more fireworks/launchers over some of this clutter. It would make the trinkets a bit more special if they were less spammy.

Also, this may be well known already, but I found that the 20 useless trinkets can't be moved from wherever they are redeemed. I get the following anytime I try to put them in a ship:

"This item cannot be put into cargo containers.'

Hopefully that's not working as intended.

Hmm, the items where avaible today (23. December). You can redeem them, but apart from the launchers and the ammo, you can't place the items inside a ships cargohold.

"This item cannot be put into cargo containers" <- Error message if you try.
(Which is funny because you can store them in cargo containers, I added them to the station container where I store all the festive stuff)

Meat popsicle!!!
Thank you CCP!
I think I'll watch 5th elementh for 27th time now

Snowballs are always good.

The other stuff... not so much. Pretty much just useless database clutter. This sort of thing was interesting the first year it was done, but repeating the same old trick year after year is unimaginative and boring.

It just seems like the devs with truly creative imaginations have either burned out, or left CCP. Remember how snowballs were first introduced? Snow in the servier room - that was clever.

Note: MJFGs really should have been introduced as a short-lived Christmas gag gift, for s**ts and giggles only, esp. in high-sec.

Yeah, yeah... I'm acting like "bah Christmas humbug" Ebenezer Scrooge Grinch.... I know.

Merry Christmas to all... even to the Goons... lol!
