But they're honest and great contributors to the community


Gimme a break! They have been connected with schills and other cheating practices since their inception.

Do you believe they are in it only to enhance theplayer experience here and for only a meager reward for their work?!

omfg ... you must be so naive.

I don't care how it goes but I certainly hope all lotteries to do with EVE are controlled by CCP or don't exist just for the rightness of it .

me


very meagre reward

SOMER is now offering a Billion if you buy a GTC through him. imgur screen or check his site yourself.

With this and the terrible event... I think I need a break from this game for a good while.

Nice work CCP. What a let down.

Self quote. I give up.

...and with that Gogela takes a break from the forums. See ya next year maybe. Maybe not.

F*** it.

the lack of replies in the sticky at the top of the forums indicates you're a liar.
then again CCP are saying **** all so i doubt you have anything to say even if you wanted to.

Yay, this account hasn't had its signature banned. or its account, if you're reading this.

It's not an in game lottery and does not fall under the eula. It is using in game currency for external profits.

Shall we not speak about the US?

Unsticky in an effort to make it go away.

Nice job CCP, way to handle a crisis...And Helmer's words were HOLLOW!!!

We watched what CCP did vs what CCP said. It works both ways.Roll

Which qualifies as using game acounts for business purposes, which does fall under the EULA.

Why a switch on/off? Because the new animation doesn't add anything to gameplay and it's graphically annoying. In other words, it's worse than bad: it's useless. Simple as that.     _ - Kina Ayami_

Here's a question I'm pondering, and correct me if I'm wrong but...

If the secret special cruisers to Somer Blink were,in fact, Stratios Emergency Responders (which seems to be the case) and the Typhoon relief plex drive gives out Stratios Emergency responders....

Wouldn't that mean that CCP, who said there would be no more Emergency Responders following the Blink thing, have lied to us?

plex for the phillipenes gives an in-game t-shirt from SOE Food Relief.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

Yeah, but rumor has it that the 'big surprise' on Wednesday will be them raffling off more of them to the people who donated.

Speaking of the Actual amount that the CCP spawned ships brought, there's currently one for sale by a VERY obvious alt (less than three days old) via contracts for almost a trillion isk.

I noticed when you click on the PLEX button on the Somer site you are redirected to the page where you by GTC from Markee Dragon and this little addendum: "We will still track purchases you make through Blink for possible future promotions."

So the implication is: please please please keep gambling here we will keep looking for loopholes and legalese to toss you some swag for funding this percentage of USD I get for selling gametime codes Roll
