Child as he was, he was desperate with hunger, and reckless with misery. He rose from the table; and advancing to the master, basin and spoon in hand, said: somewhat alarmed at his own temerity:

'Please, sir, I want some more.'

What I like the most about these holiday gifts is

a) CCPTrolling

b) Maybe . . . just maybe, CCP is too busy doing something so cray-cray with the green triplets (or whatever you want to call what's left of Caroline's hole) that they just threw something together.

Or maybe none of the above. I like the free collector's stuff. It's fun. Even if it doesn't blow people up. Makes me a little happy.

60 Years from now, I'll have something no one has ever heard of. Besides the turkey with a suitcase.

Firstly, don't whinge, it's free stuff, say thanks and get about your business.

Secondly, CCP posted on Twitter that this is not all you will be getting, and there will be a Dev Blog about it tomorrow.

Meh, ppl can whine but I like the holiday items :) the new jacket is badass, and the friend ship made me chuckle.

the bar was set pretty high last year though. I guess there will be no yule lads this year. i would link the video of them shooting down santas stratios but I cant seem to find it :)

edit: also +1 to what the guy above me said. for those that didnt get the memo, it did say in the recent email that the christmas stuff would start the 18th.

I wanted to see the Yule Lads, they were my favorite part of Christmas last year. I do like that CCP has a sense of humor about their game and that they involve players by naming things after them or creating items that reflect player actions. The DUST514 forum says that there is a Snowball Launcher. I haven't logged on to buy some but I am going to when I get home.

Thank you CCP for making New Eden a fun place that is unique and interesting.

Dammit. Now comes the big question: do I resub all my alts to maximize my chances of getting the good stuff?

Or do I wait it out with one toon only?



Le sigh.

One useful item would have been more appreciated than 28 pieces of garbage (sorry, fans, but they are just useless garbage).


Don't like them?

Don't take them.

Sadly despite your best attempts this did come across as ungrateful whinging Cry

You guys do know there is a free 20 days second character skill training thingy, right?

I'd class that as a useful gift this festive season Big smile
