Out of curiosity, if I were not to redeem these items on any of my characters but have an active account and log in, would these items expire after the deadline and no longer be redeemable? I remember seeing that on the snowball launcher/snowballs. |

CCP I want to thank you for putting resources and time into creating useless items rather then fixing or improving game mechanics! This is the strategy that will increase subscriptions! CHEERS! |

As a new player of 2 months, it would be entertaining if someone would start a thread explaining the inside joke on some of these gifts. I'm not complaining, just curious about the stories. |

Bitter vet here. Your question is fine, but the real question is WHEN will all this stuff be deployed. Vaporware is already vaporware until we actually see it. We clearly value the worth of the hint that something may or may not happen with the door at it's true value (nothing). |

Yes, and we did quite fine when it was smaller. I remember when servers barely reached 10k users people telling others to unsubscribe. |

..Unit of lag is awesome; forgot to list that among my favorites. :)
I don't collect things in real life, (unless they stay in boxes packed away somewhere), because I hate clutter, dusting, and I tend to ignore them after a very short time. Ornaments are almost entirely without purpose, unless it's for other people to look at them briefly with mild to no interest.

There is no kinda or seeming going on here. Every single complain is naked ungratefulness, every last one of them.
Its also people not understanding one bit what a gift is. Its free, and you are not entitled to it. You are not supposed to get one simply because you draw breath, here's a shocker, you aren't that great. The moment you start expecting gifts, and possess the obnoxiousness to demand what 'quality' these gifts should have, they stop being gifts. They become payments/tributes.
I can only imagine what kind of snot-nosed monsters the people complaining were like as kids.

Haven't seen anything especially valuable but I could finally get myself some Villard Wheels if I wanted!

My only beef about the joke/junk gifts is that it took away a staff member (or god forbid a team) to create, code and implement the un-needed items.
I would have rather had that staff member (or team ) take care of things like player bug reports and such. Hell even have them troll on the forums here to make this place more entertaining :) Q and A with staff members would have been a great X-mas gift
In any case, I understand that joke gifts are fun... but the time wasted to introduce these items/things could have definitely been better spent on important issues for the player base.

The same could be said for every Christmas gift, or tournament prize ship for that metter, ever created.
The little things are often just as important to the overall flavor of EvE as the big things are.
Edit: In fact these forums are hardly essential for the game to function or for the player base if you want to look at it that way. Perhaps we should put their forum admins, and web design team for that matter, on fixing game bugs. That would work quite nicely don't you thing? To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

So because I complain about free gifts that do nothing but sit in my hangar and look pretty, Im an ungrateful dumba$$ who should biomass his character?
How about no. I prefered the system they had last year where I was able to choose which gift I wanted between many different, USEFULL items. Fuel blocks, destroyers, ammo, ect, all were a small amount of useful items. My apologies for voicing my opinion on useless items that no one but a small demographic of EvE players will understand the inside joke on.
Yes, I want something useful, something that will actually enhance my gameplay. EvE is a game about planning. I planned my remaps according to what was given in the prior year that I planned would happen again. Ill deal with the consequences, no big deal in training leadership skills, Ill use them anyways. Just I didnt want to train Cha skills for a full year at max efficiency....3 or 4 months was plenty
But yes, I wanted a remap because I had planned on it, and am now set back a little bit in skill training. |

The GIFTS were great.
Scooping them up for "pennies" and reselling in Jita for millions... Ho-Ho-Ho !
Even buying the idols to refine into Tiny Stars was lucrative for a day or so.
It's all gravy.
Especially selling the HUN card for well over 250mil each... KA-Ching ! ! ! |
