ccp need to do everything twice... look at evey implementation of the past 2 years.... it is so terrible that it is funny. i stopped caring a long while ago... i sugest you do the same and just abuse their bad designs/implemtations to the fullest. kinda useles stufs anyway for this so cslled xmas gifts. i would have gotten something usefull for a change.

If relativity equals time plus momentum, what equals relativity, if the momentum is minus to the time?

I been on forums plenty just not on general discussion like many others and missed out on redeeming aurum or any of the choices.

No wonder so many people cancel sub and go play swotr.

Just give every player till the 25th the chance to select a gift or just dont do any gifts at all.

And no im not butthurd its just another drop that tipped the bucket.

If missing a dam "gimme" is gonna make you un-sub, go for it.

Dam, it's like the kids are out of school for christmas bre...

As stated in other threads you can submit a petition under 'Billing & Account', 'Reactivation Offers' and the GM's will do their best to assit you.

This does not mean that submitting a petition guarantees a gift but I hear the wonderful GM Q and her team have been regular little Santas Smile

I'm pretty sure it was 10 days total from the announcement till it was closed. Some people did not get a chance to log in during that time. For a company to lack the foresight to realize that this is a good possibility in the month of December indicates poor planning.

You can say it does not until you are blue in the face, but other MMO's beat CCP at the "holiday gift game" because they planned it well.

While they very well may be doing that, what is meant here is the blue "dev response" badge in the thread overview that can be selectively activated.
Cleaning threads and trolling usually isn't highlighted.

I too missed the deadline. I petitioned and got my remap added to my account in about 8 hours. If you had done that instead of crying on the forums, you would probably have your gift by now.

Sometimes I want to take my monocle off before I do a fail story, dont want to demean the value of the monocle.

How about next time scanning through the forums. Maybe you wont look so foolish next time.

CCP is honoring petitions but instead you wanted to be mad on a forum.

You are likely just messing with him. However if you are serious and forgot to redeem you can petition and the GMs will honor it. (Atleast the remap that I know of)

Edit: Forgot to say petition under billing and sub reactivation offers.

What we'll call you is an unobservant elf.

Oh, I'm sorry, I know its just before Christmas, you do know Christmas is coming, right? Its on the calendar, has been all year. I'm sure you've seen some commercials on the tele advertising these wonderful Christmas sales, and of course, I'm sure someone in your family has been bugging you about your Christmas shopping, right? So whata ya say that next year when Christmas gets close, you OPEN YOUR FRIGGIN' EYES and close that hole below your nose, and go and redeem your friggin' CCP gift.

Damn, I'm sorry, here, in the spirit of Christmas tell me what you wanted and I'll get it for you. No I won't charge you, but you will have to sing to CCP Navigator, in your best Lilly vonSchtook voice, "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer" and run around flapping your arms like a chicken while wearing only a santa hat and some whitey tighties.

Some days you're the bug, and some days your the windscreen.                   And some days, you're just a man with a gun.

Other MMO's don't offer a choice of gifts.

You are however a terrible liar. Are you sure you didn't mean, "And no am not butt-hurrrrrrrr". Go play Fail Wars then, crumble in despair when you realize your cash is going to fund yet one more of George Lucas' retconns.

By the way, since we're already talking, do you want to buy a rifter? I've got the cheapest rifters in Metropolis. If you can find a cheaper rifter, buy it!
