Ilinea Jovian Labs Jovian Enterprises 15	Posted - 2011.12.22 20:22:00 - [1] - Quote I was one of those many that missed on the gift, even I have been often and long online this month. Well, my reason was, that I tried to claim the remap but it was when they took it offline and wasn't available. And I did read they would work on it and it might re-appear. So I memorized the 22nd to log in into my account management and check again and get the remap by then or select another gift. Needless to say, I was too late for only 2-3 hours, because it was the 21st and not the 22nd, as I misunderstood, as the last day to _select_ your gift and the 22nd was the one to _claim_ it. I really hated the thought I missed on it but thought there's nothing I can do. Anyway, finally I wrote a petition as one of my friends was pushing me to do. So I wrote a petition asking if it would be still possible to get it, but not with much hopes. And to my surprise, CCP has been very uncomplicated in that matter to give the gifts I liked to my accounts! CCP you rescued my christmas in EvE, thank you so much!! :) PS: This thread is not for those saying how people who didn't got the gifts it's their own fault or whatever, just because others do things different then they... there's more then enough comments like that in the other threads to read :p This thread is to thank CCP for doing a good job and finally a fast and better customer service too! *They told me to mine... and I started to mine*, the market ;)

I don't pay attention to all that spam on the login page. -á"Nerf it cause I can't fly it". I want to fly a badass Mon Calamari stlye-ácruiser painted to match my Tron clothes.
Morganta Peripheral Madness The Midget Mafia 599	Posted - 2011.12.22 21:09:00 - [3] - Quote I think CCP forgets that eve time is not everyone's time when its the 23rd in eve, its still the 22nd in America I think it would be wise for CCP to consider that not everyone in the world runs on UTC The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy

Ranger 1 Ranger Corp 585	Posted - 2011.12.22 21:33:00 - [7] - Quote I have to admit, since EVE began everything has run on the same time table. It is a necessity in a game played round the world. That's why it's plastered on every forum post and constantly in the bottom corner of the game client. There really isn't any other practical way to synchronize players from multiple time zones. Revenge should not stop at the ship! It's not so much a mission statement,-áit's more like a family motto.

J Kunjeh 105	Posted - 2011.12.22 21:42:00 - [10] - Quote Oh look, butthurt from those who got their gifts but would be irrevokably damaged if a handful who F'd up were given a second chance by our benevolent overlord's, CCP. "The world as we know it came about through an anomaly (anomou)" (The Gospel of Philip, 1-5)-á

Sure there is. Addition. But then, I'm agreeing with you. Players need to be doing these very hard addition problems in Base 10, Modulo 24.

Morganta Peripheral Madness The Midget Mafia 600	Posted - 2011.12.22 22:03:00 - [14] - Quote hmmm, lets review company sends American customer an email specifying a date of December 21st. American customer assumes this means local date time American can assume this because ITS THE GODDAMN LAW according the the United States federal trade commission. (and before you say anything you might reference your own wacky local trade laws over there in the eurozone, as some of them are dumber then ours) now quit trolling, CCP is wrong just like they are 75% of the time oh, BTW I got my gift in plenty of time, I just think this method of gifting is rotten The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure.

It is a necessity in a game played round the world. All the pages on account management use UTC as well; check the Transaction / Activity logs. Considering with most modern operating systems you can add an additional clock in a different time zone OR if you have the equivalent of side-bar gadgets you can drop multiple clocks on your desktop it's simple laziness / stupidity not to know. But, I guess living in NZ and being in a different time zone to most gaming companies means I'm aware enough to pay attention to those types of details. Maybe people who are used to thinking of themselves as being the centre of everything struggles with anything outside their little monkey sphere?

UTZ has always been the neutral time zone used for all references to date and time in EVE. On every forum post, on your calander in EVE GATE, the account management page, the game client itself. United States law doesn't enter into the picture at all. I'm 90% sure you're having fun yanking peoples chains , but on the off chance you aren't just consider how else scheduling anything from in game events to reinforcement timers and everything in between would work if you tried to do it any other way. In short, you couldn't. Revenge should not stop at the ship! It's not so much a mission statement,-áit's more like a family motto.

Even outside the US 12:00 AM UTC = 1AM UTC+13. This little island monkey managed to get it done. But then, I'm s.m.r.t.

Not clearly stating UTC in official emails (no matter how used to the idea someone is supposed to be) is a violation of acceptable advertising standards in the United States. and I might be pulling the chain just a little , but I'm also a bit miffed about CCP's methods.

Ilinea Jovian Labs Jovian Enterprises 17	Posted - 2011.12.22 22:53:00 - [25] - Quote Well, it's nice to see all those being mad because things are not done the way THEY want them. But seriously, even if CCP decided to not give those gifts, it would have been just my fault for whatever reasons and not CCP to blame for that. I don't agree always with everything that CCP does and how they do things sometimes, but I see them trying lately to provide a much better game and service! Definetely! How about, some people just start to adopt a little instead of being bullheaded? For half of the things people are whining, I'm gonna blame their unflexibility instead. So, that's my last comment for some time... Merry christmas to each and everyone of you! *They told me to mine... and I started to mine*, the market ;)

CCP isn't an American company 2. UTC isn't hard do work out. 3. You're disreguarding everyones opionions because they are not the same as yours 4. Said American customer should have thought: "Ooh gifts from CCP, considering EVE uses UTC ill assume they mean the 21st in that timezone rather than my own." I don't rage all over the forums when CCP says a patch will be released on the 18th and its the 19th in my time, BECAUSE ITS SO EASY TO WORK OUT THEY DONT USE MY TIMEZONE Real men wear goggles and a Navy shirt!
