Key pass to open the door doesn't actually do anything

That one must be CCP's gift to jita scammers

ITT: whiners who want CCP to give 300,000 of something to destroy the market with, n00bs, people who can't manage a year of game time without having 5 remaps, and thankfully, people who are tickled by this little show of humor from those who hide from us all year making the game a better place to play.

Boots.ini LOL! I love this stuff!

If you guys are seriously going to ***** this much about free stuff then please unsubscribe.

I love the gifts I got, reminds me of some of the things that have happened in EVE during my time playing.

Do people seriously not understand light-hearted jokes? Honestly, get over yourselves. Did you all think you were entitled to getting Carriers in your gift box?

Even if you did all get Carriers you'd then go and make threads complaining about the price-drop in Carriers. Or you'd call for their nerfing, or complain in some other equally childish fashion.

I happen to *love* these presents. They're hilarious, and show a sense of good-natured banter between player and company that is rarely found these days.

This was more eloquent than what I was going to write so I'll just quote it instead.

I only wish there was an item with a link/reference to this yearly whine thread. That's a gift that always delivers. Lol

Thanks CCP! Loved the gifts!

Out of curiosity, if I were not to redeem these items on any of my characters but have an active account and log in, would these items expire after the deadline and no longer be redeemable? I remember seeing that on the snowball launcher/snowballs.

LOL @ telling people to unsubscribe to an already low subscription game.

CCP I want to thank you for putting resources and time into creating useless items rather then fixing or improving game mechanics! This is the strategy that will increase subscriptions! CHEERS!

As a new player of 2 months, it would be entertaining if someone would start a thread explaining the inside joke on some of these gifts. I'm not complaining, just curious about the stories.

You guys seem kinda ungrateful, at the worst this stuff hocks for an okay price. Whats funny is what you DONT see. I could easily be wrong but I think theres more then you see here. The keycard I got for example. Is the only Special edition commoditiy that also has a blueprint listed that it as yet unavailable. This may sound familiar to some older players; CCP has definitely seeded unavailable blueprints in preparation for items to come. There is also a door in your captains quarters which when you try to open declares the "station air is not yet decontaminated for capsuleers" YET, being the operative word. The description of the keycard also basically says its for this very door. The other items like the doughnut holder and thorax model i got seem like they would do well to add some originality to a personal space ie your captains quarters. My theory is in the future capsuleers will be able to purchase a more permenent residence at stations. Items will be made available to customize your personal space and the keycard will allow you access (and likely prevent anyone from robbing your place while your out). Of course its just a theory. what would I know?


Nothing, clearly.
