If you guys can't pay attention and/or can't read, don't blame CCP.

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.


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

It was on the log in screen...
... a news item on the front page
... a dev blog
... multiple reminder posts
... an email sent to you

The only thing "poor" I see is this thread in general, and your reply in particular.


Bullshit. I got a ton of holiday **** on 2 other MMO's.

Which MMO gave you 3 gifts?

Which one offered you a multiple choice on one of them?

I'm off to do a Christmas EVE thing before my wife kills me, take your time.

Handing x-mass gifts but only redeemable till 21st december, yeah thats realy a x-mass gift.
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.



Dude...you are "butthurd" you just don't know its the nick name we gave you...

I have always found its best to just accept a stupid label and don't let the badmen know it hurts your delicate feelings...in other words...runwithit...

If they really loved me they would give me a present without making me ask for it. CCP hates me.

I chose all my gifts when the giant banner was plastered across my screen telling me to go choose them. You had that banner too and if you didnt (which would be very hard) the gifts were worth sweet FA anyway. The re-maps were good but we're not talking hundreds of millions here. I suggest you get over it and go run 1 incursion, you'll make enough to buy whichever gift you wanted from me :)

There were a lot of notifications about picking up the presents, so you should have seen them. On the other hand, 'Christmas present' but don't wait till Christmas because we're taking the tree away on the 22nd? P

I kinda wish I had until new years to get a gift; I didn't get some money in to get back on EVE after a year of staying out of it.



But on the other hand, the gift probably wasn't something extremely game-changing to the point where your character was further along in the way of skills or ships, right?

Exactly, what even worse. May be I don't understand well in English and I had no idea I must go into account page. I do use account page only once for selecting my subscription. There is no reason to go into account page unless I want to change something in my subscription.

So thank you CCP for nothing.

May be they will realize that it looks really stupid, when someno who does play EVE since 2002, really doesn't copy with new style of giving gifts out. BTW I did already petitoned for all my 6 accounts.

Then wtf are you posting here for?

Why should CCP grant you the petition for your (bs btw) 6 accounts when you say "thanks for nothing"?

Throwaway alt for items.

But they suck. Petition from your main char on the account for the nural remap under billing and sub reactivation offers. Be nice about it as GMs are taking important time on the clock to help you.

I don't know how many times I read when the deadline was, but just realized yesterday that Christmas was almost here and I was too late to pick out my gift... maybe I should procrastinate less?Ugh

(I was not going to post this with dev badge because then the thread is flagged like it has some useful input from a dev, when it's just a useless story of my fail, but I failed and pushed the wrong button, so I guess flagged it isOops)



I like your style.
