I thought the criteria was to log in during those few days in which the incentive campaign was running. Seeing as I was in a worm hole at the time, I figured that it would be fine as I had done that.
I don't even know what the stats on it were. Just found it odd to have the redeem option then have it taken away again. Ideas and stuff EVE - the game of sand castles, either building them or kicking them down. |

Or you could have logged in on an alt on that account to claim it in a station. I Support the Goons! |

Yup. I know that for next time. What wasn't clear was that I had to redeem it in that time. I think the adverts were talking about logging in during that time period. Ideas and stuff EVE - the game of sand castles, either building them or kicking them down. |

Nope **** u. We take your gift back. Haha.

I am mortified for you, as your reading and comprehension levels are far worse than I first thought.
You have my sympathy.

My advice to anyone who did not get the Genolution impant would be to submit a petition and the GM's will be able to advise you. Let me empasise that this does not mean they will just issue one for you but we do deal with petitions on a case by case basis.
Thank you. CCP Navigator -Community Manager |

All "veteran gifts" should trigger for whatever criteria CCP sets and then remain indefinitely redeemable. Blizzard and many other companies do this. Not only can items sit in your mailbox after being redeemed before you have to store it in finite inventory, but some (Aion, I believe, for example) even have an out of game redeem page in account management where you can assign monthly accumulated gifts when you see fit to individual characters.
What does CCP have to gain by stripping gifts from accounts that qualified for them? If I see something appear there, I assume it to be an undelivered asset. Removing it is not unlike coming back from a 2yr inactive break and finding that not only have you removed all Noctis BPs from the game, but all Nocti in-game as well instead of letting them blow up eventually.
Feedback suggests there's plenty of upset from folks who feel they should have been able to redeem it at their leisure. I think CCP should re-evaluate the practice of stripping redeemable gifts. |

People can just get their but ingame, and get their lazy ass to a station, if people cant handle that litle simple thing, then they dont realy deserve getting any free gifts. |

It is well known that the result of a petition greatly depends on which GM you get and how good a day (s)he has. There's really no need to emphasize that. |

CCP wrote in the dev blog announcing the implants they would only be up for a short bit.
Also there was a warning on the login screen
So if you missed out, I have an extra, from my second account, that I'm not using and I'm willing to sell to you, as many other probably do.
so two sugestions from me, first learn to read, and second suck it up, this is CCP not Blizzard, or EA, or SOE, or anyone else. |

Strangely enough, you might not want to risk leading your war declaration enemies using their neutral toons back to your worm hole just for an implant. Ideas and stuff EVE - the game of sand castles, either building them or kicking them down. |

Quote:Everyone with an active paid account on Nov29th through Dec 2nd Dec 5th will get one to redeem for their character
Not a single word about having to redeem it before a certain date.
I noticed no warning on the login screen, only that there is an item to be redeemed.
I petitioned. |

That's a fair suggestion. Our intention was never to "strip people of gifts" but they had to be claimed during this window for them to serve one of their purposes, which was to give people an extra incentive to subscribe and log in. This is currently the only way our redeeming system can do that. When you have a large enough group of customers, there will be always be a group of people misinterpreting, making mistakes...or simply being in a situation that makes it hard for them to go to a station and redeem, causing them to feel left out and of course nobody wants that.
Technically I'm pretty sure that what you are suggesting is not possible at the moment, but I'll bring it up internally and see if the system we have allows us to make improvements in this direction. CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |

Stop whining like 5 yearolds, just accept the fact that you couldn't be bothered enough to actually read or pay attention which resulted in you missing out on some freebee. Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.
If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it. |

Redeems should queue up tbh. It's just silly to offer things and then remove it.

Not really. I could offer to buy a beer to a friend at a bar, if he didn't accept it that time, it's not unreasonable for me to opt to not keep offering it until he does. Silly analogy but that's just how it is. If you opt to not accept a gift, it's all on you and not the donator of the said gift. |

Silly analogy but that's just how it is. If you opt to not accept a gift, it's all on you and not the donator of the said gift. I see your point - however the difference (imo) with tihs is that you need an active account to claim it in the first place. I would totally understand it if it was limited to a time where you account could be active or inactive.
While I understand that accounts (some of mine) are very special - eg no character able to dock up - it in a way feels silly that it is limited when the account is active but unable to perform some actions. So I would at the same time understand if the offer was revoked in the event that the account goes inactive.
You do have valid points and your view is a way I didn't think of first, the analogy does make a lot of sense, as I too would offer a friend a beer at day X, he/she can't claim it at day Y.

The reason that they are/were only redeemable for a set period of time was so that the number of logins would spike in concert with the Crucible release and thus CCP could release numbers showing how many people had logged in/come back. /tinfoilhat /i wear this hat.

I could have an alt in the home system to scan a new way in for the possibility of being locked out. I might have my third slot used for a second one in case the first is killed during hostile actions or it might be scanning a way into an enemy's system.
So, no, if all three character slots are tied up, which is all too possible, I couldn't redeem the item.
As for analogies, the way I saw and read it was, "If you have gas in your truck, feel free to come around any time and pick up this shed I built." Ideas and stuff EVE - the game of sand castles, either building them or kicking them down. |

Really, the biggest issue is that you can't redeem to your cargohold. I can't think of any decent reason for this restriction to be in place. |

OP does have a point. there were people asking for clarification on the policy to redeem this item. There was some confusion. I claimed mine when I did just because I wasn't sure how this policy was going to work since it was such a small window given to claim it. It was unusual. |
