that maybe true but it also gives guys and Girls like me a chance to get back into Eve Online..
I was a paid subscriber but took a break, then came back and found it a bit overwhelming with my toons who were really advanced...
So this free to play is getting me back upto speed to play my already advanced toons.

Just my thoughts sry if that was not was your comment meant..



cya in space

edit: sry devs thanks for the update....

Did the yule present factory get broken in the patch? I was getting used to a new present everyday ;-(

I'm very happy with the new tutorial and try it for free approach. Without those 2 things, I wouldn't be an Omega Clone today.

Keep up the Good Works,

Honestly I have never been more happy with the game, I have tons of friends that got on during week one of alpha and have already subscribed. Some are saying that people are leaving? population has doubled and tons of new players that are staying are coming in. Its a win win and CCP pulled off an amazing feat with Alphas.

Dear CCP , no one wants discounts in the AUR store, give us in game digital boxes to open, we want digital presents to tear open and not discounts, that's basically hitting everyone in eve collectively in the head with your CCPenis and saying F*ck you. and don't get me wrong, i'm sure we all appriciate the gifts, but seriously... a discount isn't much of a gift... actually it's not a gift... it's a coupon, you get coupons from clipping newspapers not gifts... give us a proper gift plz, thank you.

Excellent gift. Almost as good as "A donation has been made in your name to the New York Ballet".

Particularly if you have no AUR or intention to buy any, then the next day they claim to gift you some aur, still none in my account. CCP =Krampus

So... getting an e-coupon in a faux encrypted digital box would be alright?
ho ho ho, that's the spirit!
Actually, if you take the time to examine the characters of the Icelandic culture's yule legend you may have to re-define the word gift.

lots of love,
Precious.
