So I got an email this morning that says:

Quote:
In addition to the Yoiul Festival gifts offered over the last 11 days, there are now extra items to enjoy! To celebrate through to the new year, these items can be claimed any time between now and Sunday 1 January, and will include:

• SKINs
• Festival launchers
• Fireworks
• Snowballs
• Skill training accelerators


However, my gift today did not contain a skill training accelerator.

Asking around, it doesn't appear that anyone got a skill training accelerator with their gift. Which is OK, but the email implies that one should have been included.

You missed the 'Holiday Greetings __insert name here__' part at the start,

However yes today at 15:08 GMT I got the same mail with no Skill Training Accelerator to redeem,

however I am grateful for all of the free Items I have recieved since starting (yes I missed a few of the first gifts, wasn't registered)


Seems like a simple mistake in wording implying it would be given, when in fact it had been given out earlier ?

I doubt (hope) it wasn't a CCP scam to make me log in again instead of building LEGO helicopters Big smile

Happy Holidays CCP and Players Smile

Mine also did not match the email.

I got 1 frigate skin, a festival launcher, and 300 snowballs on each of my accounts

Email mentions skins plural, launchers plural, fireworks, and skill training accelators which didn't come through.

I'm assuming that these will be given out of the next couple days, but poster above me said his did so now i'm confused

i believe this is phrasing on the email, you got your gift today (a skin snowballs and festival launchers) my interpretation of this is that CCP will randomly put up more between now and the sunday 01-01-2016.

The Christmas gift shouldn't spawn until 00:00 Eve time or 7 hours 17 minutes from the time of this post.

doesn't look like any of the "bonus gifts" have actually been rolled out yet.

the frigate skin, launcher, and snowballs was our day 12 of yule gift.

Seems a bit weird that they would send out the e-mail before the actual gifts they mention... but this entire holiday rollout has felt like a bit of a chaotic mess.

I can confirm, I have 7 accounts and none got anything but snowballs, a holiday launcher and a skin.

And a Venture.

Did any of you even look in your ship hangar?

Same boat, nothing received at all.... All my accounts X

Sounds like from the Email were supposed to get a bunch o' junk after 25th... But if they are counting yesterday at 2359 EVE Time, then no accelerator was with my Fireworks/2 launcher/skin

i thought ccp really cared about their paying customers by atleast giving us a gift on December 25th, Christmas day.. no other crap or excuse.. i logged in and was hoping to get something and didn't get jack chit..

im also very poor in game and i wish those out there will give me some isk now.. since i didn't get anything for Christmas. maybe it be best i just kill myself now and die in a corner quietly.

thanks ccp for breaking my heart. i hate you

I got the same email to a few of my characters, neither had the Accelerator or Fireworks in their box.
The wording clearly says WILL Include, not May Include, and it also says items can be claimed any time between now and the 1st, so whats the deal?

Why so concerned? You got things that you did not have to pay for, I would say that's a good thing. Why have a hissiefit because someone got something you did not? That falls under the category of " NO FAIR, THAT PERSON GOT TO SMELL THAT POOP ONE MORE TIME THAN I DID. "

If that offends you.... oh well go smell a different pile of poop.

They did give you a gift for Christmas day, it was redeamable at 00:00 GMT (AKA eve time) december 25th. which if your in north america is anywhere between 4-8pm ish.... so they gave you your christmas gift, you where just impatient and opened it on christmas eve... and are now complaining about having nothing left to open.

Quick question, when does the gift expire?
