CCP please make these trinkets able to be carried in a ships cargohold. I accepted mine in the station I was currently in but this is not where i want them to be. However you cant actually place them in a cargohold in order to move them.

Don't get too disheartened yet all, remember as kids, when you thought your parents had not really got you anything and how delighted you were when on Christmas morning a present was waiting for you and not just some random stuff in a stocking.
We knew our Parents loved us, and the little worry was simply something that added to the excitement, we knew deep down all along we could trust them and they were always there for us.

I am sure CCP don't want to take on the role of disfunctional and uncaring parents.P

And I am sure they love all the people who resub at this time of year, who resub, not because it is financially worth it, but the anticipation af something nice, lets them retry the game, and maybe rediscover why they played in the past, and maybe use the new toy, to discover new space and new things.

And how those who have, if the tree is bare, find their trust is in tatters, and they never bother hoping or trying again.

Surely they wouldn't want to be that Parent, sitting in a retirement home, wondering why their Kids never call, or Visit.



Wow. Looks like my positive attitude has been severely disillusioned.

Well, I imagine they know what they are doing, and marketing has told them that disillusioned players are more loyal, or resiliant or whatever.

Obviously Marketing have some secret knowledge that differs somehow from normal real world logic?

Well, I imagine there will be a lot fewer hopeful resubs next year, must be good for business in some strange universe.

"Nothing to see here move along" must pretty well sum up Christmas there. Obviously did not want Happy people signed in playing with their new Christmas toy. Especially as people had their expectations raised because the trinkets were so spectacularly unimpressive, some expected something Really good! "We could not afford it" doesn't really apply when the gift costs precisely nothing.

But Bitter twisted pessimistic people with a miserable and disfunctional world view, will have had a wonderful Christmas! and will probably have the best of fun telling the normal paying player base to harden up, cease feeling entitled to fun, and "CCP hate us" and that their view was proved right!

Content I guess.
Or they work in marketing, whicheverRoll


Either way, I hope you all had a happy Christmas. However you celebrated it.

And Never forget, that even Bad boys like to be loved at Christmas, no matter how much they try to pretend they do not care, they just don't want to trust enough to be disappointed.

CCP did say there would be another dev blog on more gift offers.

I'm guessing they just forgot to do it before they went on vacation. Which is irritating, but I can live with that.

There'll be more information next week on additional Holiday offers

Are we just all going to pretend that you didn't say this?
