WoW was actually released on the tenth anniversary of the Warcraft franchise itself. The game is turning 10 (and consequently the franchise is turning 20) on November 23, 2014.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

That's just the unlockable stuff. I think they said there would be other stuff too on the fanfest stream, like the Gnosis. I think those unlockable things are just to get people out celebrating.

This thread and many other like it often get the "Entitlement" response.

YES, WE ARE PAYING CUSTOMERS!!

The reason this thread exists is not that the (account paying) individual doesn't like the game or CCP, it's that he DOES!

This thread is only identifying that the OP does want to celebrate the 10 year anniversary... but that he thinks it is a larger event that new years eve 2012... a rather insignificant date, that was marked with MANY additions to the game and a larger intensive for players to logon etc etc.

SO, do we feel that we are entitled to something. YES. Get over it.

I'm confused do we get a Special Edition frigate (the HD fan fest stream ones) and a SoCT Gnosis?

If it's both then what's not to like?

I'm kinda of the opposite opinion on this. I like the idea of having something but if it's too tied in with on-going game content is seems a bit unnecessarily complicated.

Fireworks we can derp about with for a week is an awesome idea. Creating new long-term, one-off content is a longer term draw on resources and support.

I know most MMOs do some kind of ridiculus holiday items to trinket away somewhere but just don't think EVE needs it...

what would be nice is if CCP did what they have done before were there are a few gift packs that you get to choose from.

Faction ammo and such is much more useful.

It's free staff, and it's not that bad. The Gnosis for example.

Didn't realise the Gnosis was being dished out, thought it was for fanfest attendees only, like the new pirate frigates.

One reply asked for suggestions for good stuff, I though the SoE Domi was a great idea, if only a niche role, but here goes:

Live event, the likes of which will never be seen again - well until the 20th birthday anyway. My suggestion would be a reopening of the EVE gate and a chance to meet our makers. It'd be interesting to see how humanity had changed in the interim, and that their tech would no doubt be far in advance of ours. And they'd have to be unfriendly in the interests of gameplay. No point having them rock up in trading caravans, offering us the equivalent of goats and beads.

For the Originals, who'll be 10 years old then, a true gift worth keeping. In fact make it account bound so you cant get rid of it - a Jove Titan, allowed in hi-sec by virtue of the fact that it has no hi slots.

Some new implants would be nice - maybe one off implants dished out based on the age of your character account. Originals might get a single +10% Hardwiring of their choice, 5 years - 9 years 365 days, a single +8% and so forth.

As for being told to go back to WoW - I tried it, wasn't keen. Doesn't mean its a bad game. It obviously appeals to a lot of people, a shame the EVE Bourgeoisie use it offensively against posters that don't agree with their way of thinking.

@ Wacktopia and cheese monkey - I think you guys picked up on the point I was making - EVE is great, and 10 years in should be celebrated in great ways. I personally feel that recycling old stuff doesnt cut the mustard for such a significant event. And, quite rightly, a lot of you seem to disagree with me.

It could be that CCP are hoarding all the good stuff for the 20th birthday. Hope to see you all there ;-)

1. The Gnosis is a gift.

2. The other things are not gifts, since they will not be given unless 50,000 people are coerced to Like CCP on Facebook.

3. If any of these Facebook items are given (unlocked) they are essentially meta-game mission loot.

4. It's OK to criticize mission rewards.

Aaah another cry baby.

It's EVE's B-dah. So actually we should give CCP presents for making such an awesome game.

One of the least-known charities in New Eden is the one I run for orphaned in-game items. We provide a loving home for abandoned and unwanted stuffz, giving them a better, brighter future. Just contract them over and I'll do the rest.
