Which location specifically in Metro or just in general? (I'm from the region so I'm so happy to hear its in our area).

I'd love to donate some stuff, then swing by and pick up a random gift.

Also thanks for doing this, its nice to see good things happening in EVE.

You're quite welcome...

the exact location won't be released until just before the event starts and TBH aside from the staging system, we haven't finalized it at this time.

If you would like to donate something, please feel free to shoot me a contract, or message me in game

Here's to hoping my 700m in minerals sold so I can come up with something good for a donation..

Maybe a nice scanning ship.. that'd be interesting.

It would be, and I'm sure more than a few folks would find something like that very useful, but please remember that while you may want to put something really special into the mix?, it's not important what you give or if you even do, the thought is what counts. :)

I don't want anyone to over-extend themselves to help out with this even though "all" gifts are appreciated

Thanks Sir.

Christmas is coming...from beyond the wall

edit: also, I will try and get you a few ships soon. I don't have much money, but I have a few ships that are sitting in my hangar than I have absolutely no intention of using.

I also want to add that in the case of most items, they will be in a small standard container, so I won't know who is getting what and they won't know till they open it.

in the case of items larger than that like ships, I'm trying to look into a way to do that blindly as well

I suggest plastic wraps. Set up a courier contract and deliberately fail it. If you do this for everything, you truly won't have any idea what you're giving away. (Unless you pay attention to the volume.) Moreover, being wrapped makes it even more like a Christmas present :)

That's actually a good idea as long as them failing the contract won't impact them in any negative way.
I have been toying with the idea of a bookmark renamed to a specific number and having the player who gets it trade the bookmark to me for the ship it's associated with, but your Idea would work as well.

Thank you.

Just in case I haven't already said this yet:

Please remember (everyone) not to put yourself out in order to give something to the event, I appreciate the thought and every bit I get will help, but you folks need to look out for your needs in game first. :)
