While the 2000 AUR reward might seem enticing at first sight (thanks to it looking like it MIGHT be worth anything up to 55.55% of one PLEX, or at the current prices, around 245 mil ISK), you should probably remember that we all got a grand total of 5500 AUR so far, and that the value of AUR if you actually attempt to redeem it into ISK via a NEX offer is far, far below the "purchase value" of AUR, at least for the time being. There's also nothing interesting new to purchase for 7500 AUR. I would sriously doubt you could extract more than 60 mil ISK out of that offer if it was available now, before the inevitable crash, in reality you'll probably be lucky to get even as much as 20 mil ISK out of it in the end.
I'd probably stay away from the AUR offer, all things considered.
On the other hand, there's the fuel blocks-related offers, which at this time seem among the more sensible ones.
First, the 1k each fuelblock offer.
The current costs are around 14-26k per block (depending on race), and they offer 1k of each type of block. That's somewhere around 70 mil ISK right now, give or take, and the fuel block market is far more robust that any of the other markets, plus the entire tower network will be switched to fuel blocks in less than a month after, so if you can manage to not panic-sell like a crazy person, you could very well end up with an extra 50 mil ISK or so in not that long of a time.
The fuel blueprint offer is not quite as glamorous (barely valued at a bit over 40 mil ISK already) and much more likely to have a downward spike.
The implant selections are also looking as if they'd be worth somewhere around similar total values.
The older genolution goes for about 50m on contracts now and may go for more later on (still the second one will most likely go for more).
The set of basic implants are worth around 45 mil and will probably sell for a bit less later on, but not by that much.
The Quafe Zero offer doesn't look like it might be worth that much, under 20 mil ISK total right now, unlikely to go for much more in the future.
The attribute remap offer is hard to quantify in ISK, and it's not sellable.
The ship offers are pretty pathetic ISK-wise, worth 5, 5 and barely 16 mil (likely to crash towards 5 too after Christmas).
The faction ammo thing... hmmm.
Plenty of suboffers to go around, and not knowing what the rest might choose (and with so many possible options), it just as may be that people will not overflow any indivdual market all that much.
The offers are : 10k of each of the 8 small ammos (24 if crystals) PLUS three destroyers (not worth that much but still)
-or- 5k of each of the 8 medium ammos/missiles or 10 of each of the 8 crystals -or- 2.5k of each of the 8 large ammos/missiles or 5 of each of the 8 crystals.
That's 80k small ammo or 192 small crystals or 40k med ammo or 40k med missiles or 80 med crystals or 20k large ammo or 20k large missiles or 40 large crystals.
That also looks as somewhere in the vicinity of 30-60 mil ISK (give or take) depending on individual choices, with a slightly higher chance of falling down in value, especially because out of the 8 ammo types, at least half are barely ever used (and hence selling in tiny quantities), with only a couple really enough in demand to still be worth something.
That offer will probably collapse to well under 20 mil (if even that much) if more than a symbolic amount of people pick it.
...
Overall, I think the fuel blocks offer is one of the most likely to remain somewhat stable in price (or at least recover the fastest).
Either way, it's not that much ISK.

I wonder if the Neural Remap is a bonus free remap on top of what you have.
Since I already have 3 of those, would I get to see 4 instead ?
I wouldn't want to have that "gift" reset the count to 2 or worse, 1.
ROFL.

That was kind of his/her point. Last time I checked, one year is 12 months.
P.S. Give or take, you know.

Do I smell the tinge of concern regarding the overinflated oxytope prices ?

Remaps are temporarily suspended (with possibility of being brought back or completely eliminated) pending changes to the way they're supposed to work.

If I read it correctly, it's even better.
It's bonus remap you can keep until the end of times to use in some much later emergency while still remapping as many times as you want as long as you let more than a year pass between remaps.
Basically, the awesomest possible version.
Waiting for 100% confirmation.

Quote:Bonus remaps never expire. After the code update, there will be two ways to remap:
* You will be able to remap normally. This option is only available for use when a year has elapsed from your last "normal remap".
* You will be able to instantly remap by using a "bonus remap" - these are the same as the remaps that newbies receive when they create their characters. When switching to the new system, you will keep any bonus remaps you had previously, and these will never expire.
When remapping, the system will first see if you can remap normally (on the annual timer). If you can, it will set your remapping timer and permit you to remap. That timer will then begin ticking down, and, one year later, you will be able to remap normally again.
If your timer is ticking, then the system requires you to use a bonus remap in order to remap your attributes. If you do not have any, you have to wait.
If you elect to use a bonus remap, your timer will not be affected.
Let's say that you have no bonus remaps at all - you've used up your newbie bonus remaps and haven't received any since. If you remapped normally on the 1st of December, 2011, you will then have to wait until the 1st of December, 2012 in order to remap again normally.
If you take the neural remapping Christmas gift, then you can use that bonus remap to remap at any time between when you receive the gift and the 1st of December, 2012. If you do so, then you will still be able to remap your attributes normally on the 1st of December, 2012. If you decide to wait until past the 1st of December, 2012 - let's say to the 2nd of December, 2012, then you will remap normally and not use your bonus remap.
Relevant things :
* Bonus remaps are COMPLETELY separate from normal remaps - you can remap normally without using a bonus remap
* Bonus remaps never expire - keep them until you really need them (or as a badge of sorts if you like)
Clearly, the best choice for all people that are NOT in dire need of some ISK
(since everything else is worth well under 100 mil ISK no matter what else you pick).

No, not yet, but they will be by the time they distribute it.
At least that's the plan.
