CCP Guard (that's me btw) has some information for you regarding the Neural Remap gift choice on the Account Management page.

We pulled it from the list yesterday, then did some stuff to make it work better for you guys, and now it's going in again.

More details in the blog...and of course we´ll be monitoring your feedback and taking questions in this thread.

I had been agonising about the holiday gift because of exactly this issue, so this (like so much in the last couple of weeks) has been a completely unexpected - but very much appreciated - change for the better. Thank you all!

Nice work on this. I don't need the remap but it is nice to see you trying to make the gift as useful to all as possible. Thanks for the thought and effort...plus listening to the feedback.

I may not like you or your point of view but you have a right to voice it.

At the moment, you cannot see your cooldown timer if you have any bonus remaps remaining.

Once the code update goes live, the cooldown timer will be visible in the character sheet, along with the number of bonus remaps remaining. The code update will go out prior to the gift being issued.

Do the bonus remaps ever expire?

If another bonus remap becomes available next Xmas, and I still haven't used mine from this year, can I have 2 of them at the same time? (I anticipate only needing one remap in the next year.)

When I have both a bonus and a regular remap, I assume I'll be able to choose which to use, and whether or not I want to reset my timer. Is that correct?

If I have a character with 2 regular remaps, and acquire a bonus remap, is it possible to choose to use a regular remap and reset my timer immediately? Or would I have to use the second regular remap before the timer is reset? Obviously there are some situations in which it would be advantageous to reset the timer early. But it might be a simpler implementation to convert extra regular remaps into bonus remaps so that each character can have a maximum of one regular remap at a time.

So now we will have two kinds of remaps instead of one? Maybe it's just me but it sounds as if it's gonna be another confusing thing people are going to have to explain to new players.

Why not turn remaps into token items that can be traded on the market, just like plex?

I guess the last remap you use will be the start of the "Cooldown" Timer. like bevor.

agree 100%. also make skill point remaps available, and tradable.

ex; new player starts out as miner. player then gets taste for pvp, player has 5,000,000 SP in industry tree, would better suit them to have it in gunnery sp.

i know you can pass out sp, its done on sisi, so let players remap sp with a card,token etc, annually as well:-)

To clarify, the option to choose these bonus remaps, will be available to choose from, from 1600 GMT or server time. The gift of remapping will only be available to redeem on the 22nd of December.

I always assumed remaps worked... the way they worked. Don't know why some people were confused, but it's cool to see this get dealt with so quickly.

Corporate comunication, attention and feedback 101.

Excellent work, and it's a woop woop like for the space police ;)

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

First off: Very very very cool!

Secondly: Questions arise...

At the moment I have 1 bonus remap (from last year's remap fest...yes, I do long time planning ;-) and my cooldown timer will reset at the 10th of january 2012 ('cause that was when I last used a remap).

On the 11th of jan will I then have 1 regular remap and 2 bonus remaps? (if I pick the remap gift choice and don't spend any before that date)

If yes, what will it look like if I spend 1 remap? (i.e. can I choose to spend either a bonus or a regular remap, will I automatically spend a bonus remap or will I automatically spend a regular remap)
