Three thumbs up out of two - Yule Lads are a happening thang. Play-acting CCP minions re-invented as goofy hapless scafes really worked for me. Beyond hilarious! I found myself looking forward to revealing what nightly trinkets were to be had at zero hour - that added to the seasonal entertainment value for the entire week and a half. The trinkets were great - varied, creative, interesting, and something for everybody. Who wasn't wondering what the denouement would bring, and what's there about the Leopard not to like? The movie was play-it-more-than-once genuinely clever, fun, and even memorable.
The whole schtick got me interested enough to find out that the whole Yule Lads thing is very much an actual, very real Icelandic holiday ritual. Fantasy firmly rooted in actual age-old tradition - a decided plus which added even more to the enjoyment factor.
Bravo. Well done. Do it again in 2014. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

Pardon me, but is that a stick up . . . nevermind. We all know you couldn't have hated this holiday celebration more, but fear not - April Fools will be here soon enough. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

i kinda feel left out though. if you only login and play without checking a website or youtube you never new anything was happening.
no presents either i guess, oh no thats wrong, i redeemed 2 certificates (if they are related at all to this).
i liked snowballs the best, at least they where funny and of no consequence for all (till they let them melt...)
p.s. i like the idea behind the lads, but the implementation was lacking as always. Most ppl only login, they never check a website. |

Not being "in the know" is your own fault, not CCP's. There's plenty of outlets where you could have found out about this, including a youtube-video |

Other than maybe they'll run it again next year, do you mind telling me what bountious goodness you expect I'll receive from CCP for approving of their Christmas program?

Giving everyone a shuttle that warps at 20 au/second was a bold move. It was especially interesting to watch the contract prices increase, rather than fall. I honestly wonder how many will be left at the end of the month. That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right... |

pretty cool CCP. "CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"
Never forget. |

Glad to see that you guys enjoyed it! Both the positive sentiment and constructive criticism are always welcome
With that in mind, do you guys feel there was anything we could have done better, either to improve visibility of the whole thing, or maybe switch things up a little?
We are of course continually looking at the promotions we run over various holidays, and are actively thinking of how to improve them while not upsetting the balance of the economy in game.
If you guys want to provide ideas, constructive criticism, and suchlike, please feel free to do so in this thread and we'll take a look over it!
Also, Happy Holidays, and all the best for 2014!

Well, one minor suggestion would be to have the news item be permanently on the launcher, rather than cycle with stuff like the sale on the collector's edition (rage about having gotten it at full price aside, it's not doing much to catch the eye of those who only have the launcher up long enough to enter their password). |

Eliminate the need to go to the account management page. For example, on Dec 25th, have any unclaimed gifts just show up. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

Although fashion items certainly looked "holiday" enough, perhaps specialty "holiday only" fashion items instead of ones that already exist. I learned things from the synth booster - didn't know that it was permissible in hisec. Now I'm researching boosters and taking them more seriously.
Holiday gift-giving is tailor made for collectibles, so fedo was a hit, not to mention the Leopard. Some people apparently missed the entire event, and I just learned that it was rolled out last year as well. I wasn't aware that it was, but some of that may have been "on me" - I was overseas a lot last year. Still, it pays to advertise. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

Lots of effort went into this (that part is obvious). It is just a shame that such a sexy model is wasted on a shuttle. I would love to mount some lasers on it and fly it into null looking for a place to set up my "Deathstar POS" |

Was an awesome way of celebrating the season. I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. If I had to pick anything that could have been done better would be some way (and I'll be honest in saying I don't have any ideas) of making it less a chore to get to the point of being able to claim the gift.
Felt a little like getting that really big gift under the tree and then finding out your pop quadruple wrapped the box with duct tape every other layer, that contained another wrapped box, that contained yet another wrapped box, etc etc, just for his own amusement. (Made worse by becoming like a regular, yearly tradition growing up... ) |

Someone mentioned that redeeming presents is a bit of a hassle, but I think that's necessary: you don't want to end up with your presents appearing in station the next time you log in in a jump clone or alt in some godforsaken corner of the universe. It's better you can control where the stuff is showing up and which of your characters are getting them.

the leopard was an interesting surprise but the rest of the stuff was simply market fodder ... only things i still have are the fedo and the drop booster ... oh and the worthless implant.... i would have been happy if we got the 2 new geno implants ..
limited edition with those implants are like pay to win...
for next christmas advent calendar perhaps we could get some useful items
oh and get something on christmas day would be nice.... unless you have something planned this year you haven't lead on about.

Oddly enough, I don't know a single person that was impressed by the gifts, or the ******** redeeming system that requires you to log into your management page, just to place the items in your redeeming cue. Most people didn't even bother to waste the time to redeem.
And CCP Alts ftw?
CCP, trading shiny pictures for playability since 2003.. EvE, a cutting edge game. The only game to provide Matrix style gameplay for the masses! (trouble is, most people don't have 9 hours to waste on a one hour fight.) |

What do you expect getting 50x Warrior I as a gift? The point was not in the content of the gift, but the sharing of culture and seeing the people creating the game you play having fun, enjoying their job, and showing a sense of humor.
Thank you CCP for a holiday tradition EVERYONE can enjoy. It's nice to see a holiday event that doesn't bring out the "black santa" and "anti-Semite" scream-teams.

BUT
CCP Please...
Give the new items to ability to be sold in the market, so easy, so infuriatingly dumb they they aren't?! http://ekolikecrayons.wordpress.com/about/ |
