Thanks to all the CCP folks, the players and of course the ISD's who have to read our inane chatter.

Best to all in the new year!

Thanks for the prezzies!

The 20 days of dual training on all of my accounts was particularly appreciated!

I have a question... Will any of those become "working"? I mean, the boots could actually be made as footwear, same for the jump fatigue recovery agent that could work as specified as a single use booster...

I also agree that 3m³ is quite big, if those items are to stay "trinkets" (roughly 80 to 85 cubic feet). May I suggest decreasing their size to 0.1 (or even maybe 0.01) m³?

Don't get me wrong, though, I really appreciate the 20 days of MCT...

Fruitcake For Christmas:
In looking over the gifts this season, I must say thank you and I do mean that but, if it is the thought that counts...please forgive me but it is not very thoughtful. It seems like the proverbial fruitcake. You know, the gift nobody really wants and it always ends up in the trash because you don't know how old it is and everybody knows how awful it tastes anyway. Shocked

A Chance To Really Give Back:
A win-win for everyone, an opportunity to make the subscribers feel appreciated and still get those unwanted fireworks and snowballs off the shelf too. For those subscribers with a continuous 12 month subscription, might I suggest a choice of 1 of the following in addition to the usual fashion offerings: A months worth of skill points, two plex, or a fully fitted ship of your choosing (excluding capitols, and ultra-rare edition ships). This would actually be worth something, would make the subscribers feel like they've really gotten something for their effort and it wouldn't really cost CCP a thing. Not to mention, all the good will and potential additional subscriptions (and more profit for you!!!!)Big smileBig smileBig smile

Just a thought...thank you for your time!!

Actually, I LOVE fruitcakes, but I'm Canadian... Blink

I participated in a snowball and firework fight in Couster with one of my alts when I got them... You'd be surprised, but it was kind of fun getting shot at and shooting back without any profanity or such in the local... Gave me a good time, just like a game is supposed to...

That would be great, but maybe a little too much? I don't know...

Thank you CCP and all the best for 2015.

You might wish to alter this sentence:

"Ending 2013 on a high note after the EVE community raised a staggering amount for the Icelandic Red Cross, this year has been a year of change for both EVE and the Community."

Is it just me or are other people getting New Eden Store currently unavailable ???
I'm docked in station so should come up ! I can access it on one account but not on this one :(
I often log into one account using launcher, and the other by running exefile directly. Don't know if this is your problem, but, the store depends on the launcher, and won't be available if you start an account by running exefile directly.


I'm using 3 separate installs with 3 separate launchers and the Store worked if I logged the account in on the "main" login running on a different graphics card ... GTC 660 Ti with graphics settings all up on high vs the Gtx 560 Ti with med settings for some things like shading !

Thanks, these are the other ones I spotted the first time I read the blog, but could'nt find them again after re-reading. Granted, I didn't read carefully on the second pass when looking for them.

For a while, I had the feeling I had just imagined them. Now I know I'm not going crazy Big smile

Thank you very much for the gifts this year. They are great!

But the advent calendar with the Yule Lads was a really nice idea and I hope Grýla will let them out next year again. Big smile


Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Hello CCP Phantom and greetings to all other EVE players.

I may be causing a noob call or be "vented" by all the profi players but....

I really had a hard time finding the gifts as a beginner player.
Logged into the game, looked around, found nothing.

who would think there is a redeeming system for gifts which I have to google to find the presents?

https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Redeeming
So it seems I found it with a little rtfm.
:-)

What I want to express is, with the steep learning curve of EVE in so many aspects, even
for those who are willing to take the challenge like me it would be very helpful if there
would be a link to the wiki in the announcement so that receiving gifts does not turn into another quest.
:-)

Either way: thanks for the gifts and happy Xmas!

I have activated a training queue on a second character, but that leaves me with a question - can I check somehow when those 20 days will expire (as in, exact hour and minute so I can squeeze a skill or two)?

Edit: Nevermind, I noticed the information on the character selection screen

Workarounds are not bugfixes.

Good day to all!
I hate to sound dense, but how do you use the jacket for your Avatar? All, I have don't since I joy in October of this year, is play the game. I'm not sure how I'm to redeem the jacket, or what to do with some of the other items. Sorry for being dense on this subject.
