How long will items remain in the redeeming system? I have my honeymoon over the new year from 26th Dec and won't be back until 7th Jan.

December 20th : A box of spare .ini files perhaps?? (because someone found a lot of them in the server basement?)

PS. the old snowballs didn't cause red square, but they did cause 0 damage notifications so people getting shocked could easily get in trouble hehe

Fireworks and snowballs will be epic on gatecamps haha :D

I can assure you that the old snowballs (talking about the very first ones here) most certainly DID cause a red box that triggered people into returning fire, not so much the damage notifications, having to have to deal with the fallout of that and such that also eventually lead us to the need of having the snowballs melting. As mentioned in the blog, the retribution changes should have removed this need.

Anyway, Happy Holidays and a good slide into the new year as well (as we say in Germany)!

thanks for the goodies :)

wouldn't a frozen corpse launcher be more fitting for happy eve holiday cheer? don't get me wrong, i think snowballs are cool but xmas is the xtreme holiday season and to me nothing says 'cheers!' in eve like being able to throw some of your favourite kills at somebody you love

Haha, the Stalingrad approach to Christmas gift distribution. A merry scorched earth to you too. ;)

Well, would be great if I could actually find any snowballs in the redeeming system to fight with, but all the ingame "Redeem Items" option tells me is "You have no items to redeem." and nor does anything to redeem show up during login...
