..vanity spinny ships...

You, sir are a genious!

Something like:
Battlecruiser Skill: +10% bonus on spin count per level
Role Bonus: Cannot undock

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Heck no, make a ship which skin consists of sequential images so you get an animation of it exploding as it spins.

Anyway, of all the gifts being offered, this one looked interesting:

A Paxist Treasure - Pax Ammaria - Collector's Item

I wasn't sure what the Pax Ammaria is so I did an Evelopedia search and found this page created by CCP Abraxas:
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Pax_Ammaria_%28Chronicle%29

Quote:
Something interesting will be here soon ...

Lol

I imagine the Pax Ammaria will be similar to the Pax Amarria. I have that item and still can't find a use for it in-game.

The Pax Amaria, of course, crowns our personal library.

We have been trying to get our hands on the Pax Ammaria for ages, and we are happy to finally get the chance to get a copy.

Ok, if you don't like the current offer here is my counter proposal.


CCP negwallets every active subscription by 50m per account - removing 15 trillion isk from the game. This reduces inflation making everything cheaper for everyone.

The forums would also ensure it was a birthday gift to remember.

Good call on the name difference. Maybe it will be a shiny novelty ship. I was going to pick it anyways since i have everything else. Should be sweet if that is the case, darn them theys be playing trixies on it. We wants the precioussssss...

I half expect the Pax Ammaria to be the old edition, the one printed on Nocx, as a marker of that price cap.

I didn't read this thread or the OP, but when can we claim our free stuff?

EDIT: I'm going to get the processing skill books, just in case you guys were wondering, which you probably were/are.

Yay, going that way with my miner too... it's the kind of carp you never had skill queue time for, now at least won't cost iskies and has got decent resell value if you already trained some of them.

Thanks and all that but couldn't you think of something that would be of some use or treasure to someone who has been playing more than 6 months?

Apart from "Refine your skills" which i think is worth the most, there is nothing there that excites, titillates, inspires or makes me even care about EVE's 9th Birthday beyond, click, sell thanks for the free 50 mil.. Assuming of course that the implants are not a typo in which case it's more or less pointless to anyone over a certain wallet balance/age.

Free stuff is nice, but stuff i have and can get already get ad nauseum is pretty meh. I'm sure the new people will appreciate it though.

Refine Your Skills - Memory Augmentation Standard and Cybernetic Subprocessor Standard (Implants) + Scrapmetal, Ice and all other ore Processing (Skillbooks)

Not bad at all. You get "All" the ore processing skillbooks, plus ice, etc. On top of that they give you two +4 implants. Those are skills that I would probably not buy, but I will train them if they are given to me for free. I'm happy.

Free stuff is free stuff. Is it worth much to me? No, absolutely not. Am I happy I'm getting something for 0 effort? Sure.

Just as long as the collector's Pax Amarria isn't the same as the signed Pax Amarria, I'll be happy.
