I'm kinda of the opposite opinion on this. I like the idea of having something but if it's too tied in with on-going game content is seems a bit unnecessarily complicated.
Fireworks we can derp about with for a week is an awesome idea. Creating new long-term, one-off content is a longer term draw on resources and support.
I know most MMOs do some kind of ridiculus holiday items to trinket away somewhere but just don't think EVE needs it... Looks like the yellow quafe shirt is more popular than I thought ;) |

what would be nice is if CCP did what they have done before were there are a few gift packs that you get to choose from.
Faction ammo and such is much more useful. |

Didn't realise the Gnosis was being dished out, thought it was for fanfest attendees only, like the new pirate frigates.
One reply asked for suggestions for good stuff, I though the SoE Domi was a great idea, if only a niche role, but here goes:
Live event, the likes of which will never be seen again - well until the 20th birthday anyway. My suggestion would be a reopening of the EVE gate and a chance to meet our makers. It'd be interesting to see how humanity had changed in the interim, and that their tech would no doubt be far in advance of ours. And they'd have to be unfriendly in the interests of gameplay. No point having them rock up in trading caravans, offering us the equivalent of goats and beads.
For the Originals, who'll be 10 years old then, a true gift worth keeping. In fact make it account bound so you cant get rid of it - a Jove Titan, allowed in hi-sec by virtue of the fact that it has no hi slots.
Some new implants would be nice - maybe one off implants dished out based on the age of your character account. Originals might get a single +10% Hardwiring of their choice, 5 years - 9 years 365 days, a single +8% and so forth.
As for being told to go back to WoW - I tried it, wasn't keen. Doesn't mean its a bad game. It obviously appeals to a lot of people, a shame the EVE Bourgeoisie use it offensively against posters that don't agree with their way of thinking.
@ Wacktopia and cheese monkey - I think you guys picked up on the point I was making - EVE is great, and 10 years in should be celebrated in great ways. I personally feel that recycling old stuff doesnt cut the mustard for such a significant event. And, quite rightly, a lot of you seem to disagree with me.
It could be that CCP are hoarding all the good stuff for the 20th birthday. Hope to see you all there ;-)

1. The Gnosis is a gift.
2. The other things are not gifts, since they will not be given unless 50,000 people are coerced to Like CCP on Facebook.
3. If any of these Facebook items are given (unlocked) they are essentially meta-game mission loot.
4. It's OK to criticize mission rewards.

It's EVE's B-dah. So actually we should give CCP presents for making such an awesome game. When a WoW player leaves to return to WoW, the avg. IQ of both games rises. Professional Forum Thread locker. |

well my yearly renewal is due on the 10th... One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

Thats an excellent point, the gnosis is the only gift and to be honest i think its an awesome gift. THe other stuff has to be earned therefore it dosent count Join the ZC Pub chat channel today and talk about joining-áZebra corp, hands down the best PVP corp in EVE keeping CFC killboards in the green singlehandedly |

UPDATE: Disaster Averted.
The page that tracks progress for the gift unlocks has been quietly readjusted. The target number of "Likes" has been lowered from an estimated 50,000 to a more realistic 4,000 or so (again, my estimate).
Unlock progress bar is nearing 50% complete. |

I expect that after downtime on May 5th we'll be able to redeem them. Look for a present icon in the lower right of your character selection screen (the one you get right after you login). Also, there is a "Redeem Items" button on the bottom of your options menu (hit ESC to open the menu in-game). You'll get a pop-up listing the items, you can selectively choose which items you want redeem.

If you'd read the rest of the thread, you'd have picked up on the fact that I originally thought the Gnosis was dished out to FanFest attendees and wasn't being given away as part of the 10 year celebrations. |

I heard that CCP is going through the forums and all chat logs to single out people that complained about the gifts and then run a script to exempt them from getting the stuff in the redeeming options.

These threads are so predictable... there's the side honestly expressing disappointment, and the side condemning them over being 'spoiled' and 'entitled.'
Personally, my own take is this: the Jove battlecruiser is a novelty, but at at the end of the day, it's absolutely worthless. Everyone will have one, which means that, for years, it won't have much value at all. And nobody will fly it because they won't want to lose it. Like so many of the other ship handouts we've gotten over the years, it falls into the category of a curiousity... neat (although I think it's hideous), but useless.
I think it would be very cool if there was some kind of other gift they could provide us with. For example, it would be neat if there was some kind of custom '10 year anniversary' skin or decal you could slap on a boat of your choosing, which could then be reused even if your vessel was destroyed. It'd have no monetary value, but would merely proclaim 'hey, I was there.' |

There is also the matter of those that also buy the CE will get a 5 run BP for this ship as well, so there will be 5 x #CE sold available.
You will have natural wastage with people losing them to gankers, gate camps, missions, etc.
This isnt a moan, as I was taught be thankful for any free gift, as CCP doesnt have to do any of this, they're just really nice people
