Eve is a hobby, she got you something for your hobby. Enjoy it. Merry Christmas.
Quoted for effect, as some people are taking this totally the wrong way.
I wish my GF would do something like that for me as well

I don't usually post a whole lot around here, but the whole EVE world needs to know how awesome my wife is.
She doesn't play EVE, she plays the occasional puzzle game. She doesn't much care for games at all really, but this year she got me a Chimera for Xmas!
For months she conspired with in game friends to sell time codes, buy AND fit the Carrier.
That's it, I just could not let that go without telling anyone who will listen (or read).
<3 My Wife
well, I refuse to read the thread since the first post was a troll, but ... damn... you have a very thoughtful wife.
She rocks, and I am jealous :)

In many cases an IRL wife will not share the same interests as you in many of those cases she will actively try to change your interests and not support them at all. The few that do share and support a husband's interests are incredibly understanding people. My Mother never understood my father's nascar and football obsessions while she bought token gifts concerning them. Never did she really support them.
OP: Your wife got you a friggin carrier for Christmas. Hang on to her Women like that don't come along often. I am not talking about future ingame items either.
May that carrier last a very long time my friend.

To the op, awwwwwwww  that's very sweet of her, very unexpected and fun christmas present that your happy about, that's awesome.
that aside, some of the comments in this thread are quite disturbing, like the guy that said that his wife gave him an ultimatum stop playing eve or she would leave and take the dog with her, and he's responds, i'll really miss that dog.
that's not funny, you got a serious gaming addiction problem you need to get worked out or your life will go in the gutter. real life > eve online or you got a serious problem that you need to get sorted.
and to the guy who said that eve-online is a game that is meant to appeals to kids i'll just say hmmmm... corp management + politics, complex trading and market speculation, the mathematics of production, mineral compression and so forth, advanced understanding of the vast amount of skills and skillpath, advanced strategic planning, execution and cooperation, corp infiltration and regular intel coordination, and, oh yeah, brutal and heartless ransoming, scamming, and smacktalk + metagaming and rl hacking of personal computers and webservers in some cases.
Yeah .. eve is really THE game made small kids.. go smoke another one bro... eve is not hello kitty online.
that said, merry christmas to everyone, and a happy new year, fly safe in eve, and do take time for the RL family and friends since they are who really matters when it comes down to it.

Don't tell us this and then blatantly not tell us the total USD$ value spent.
How much did she spend?
Also - did you get her something besides socks?

Oops! Seems you missed the site header, this is EVE, WoW is the other way. Bye, see you in a couple years!
To the OP, that is awesome. Hahaha, lucky.

It is crass to ask someone the actual cost of a gift. It is the thought that counts and while that may seem a trite answer it is actually true...particularly in a case like this where a lot of thought clearly went in to it. As much as he will be enjoying his carrier he will doubtless enjoy his wife even more knowing what a cool chick she is.
As for what he got her IIRC he said he got her some nifty electronics she really wanted and was apparently happy with.

Read the OP to my wife and she said 'power to her... you're not getting a spacey shippy thingy from me"
Big up to her though. She lets me play so long as she can play bingo online (fair trade right?)
Big up to your wifey cel.
To those thinking that a badillion EULA laws were broken, go get laid. You'll find it frees the imagination something good.. helps you think of how good things in life can happen without having to do illegal things to achieve it.
Not everyone is a crook
Don't judge everyone by your standards.
 Happy Christmas Everyone.

Good guess, I named it using words from the Latin roots of her name 'Bella Lindi' or Beautiful Snake. She thinks it's great. Thanks everyone for the kind words. She wasn't sure of her gift at first, but that's nothing a little community support couldn't fix :)

The flame is strong tonight....
Anyway it shows a lot of love when someone takes the effort to read and understand a hobby just so they can give you something you enjoy.
Afterall it is the spirit and thought that counts, just make sure you get a few kills with it

Wow dude just Wow! You are positively the man! All men on the planet earth that can legitimately claim they are the man (e.g. Brad Pitt gets to bang Jennifer and Angelina in one lifetime) must bow to your manliness!

Good name. Nice gift.
I'm amazed that the general forum has degenerated to the point where people are flaming about Christmas presents.

Lets say you gained a new macro program from your GF/Wife, one that promises 1 bi ISK/day, expensive piece of crap that will give you a LOT of (RL or in game) wealthy. You don't need to run for your ISK with boring stuff after loosing some in your funny activities. Oh, you would be glad receiving such a "gift".
And from the people that are reading all this, of course, some use these type of, lets say, "strategies" to get ahead of the other players and are proud of being the "powerful" that don't need to do mundane tasks. Oh, I got some of them mad on me just because I'm showing the facts of their real "power".
Keep coming with the posts and your, well, "arguments". But, IMHO, would be more helpful if you, that support this type of thing, come and say why you do it, and not only saying that I'm wrong in not doing it.
Say what you think EVE must become, give some idea to the Devs to create a Game Items Store (for real cash) in the EVE-O sites, as I'm pretty sure someone that is not from CCP is cutting their profit, say how it would be better if you could buy your stuff with your RL money instead of doing mundane tasks that, BTW, give the Devs a lot of troubles to create and to maintain. Say what you really think, or don't bother to post with nonsense because everyone will know, or you think be fooling someone here?
Merry Chistmas for all you too, I do know that some don't have the time they wish to play the game and they want to be powerful too and only training skills don't give you that feeling. The ISK part of EVE is hard to learn, just a few manage to do it, but I can bet you will be bored soon with the game, just keep getting your stuff without working for it in game and the magic will be gone, believe me.

Bloody Slave,
A) Merry Christmas.
B) We don't care if you don't like the GTC system. We don't care if you think people are buying too many GTCs. We don't care if you think they are supporting farmers. In fact, we don't care about anything you care about anyway, in regards to anything in relation to this thread. Your cares are like sub-atomic particles compared to the solar masses of what we care about. If you don't like GTCs, start a thread about it...elsewhere.
To the OP:
If there were more women like your wife, I'd consider dating again.

Wow, what an awesome gift! It was so incredibly thoughtful of somebody who doesn't seem to understand the game a whole lot! Major incredible kudos to her! She is absolutely the epitome of a loving caring and generous wife. Make sure you treat her right! You've got one of the greats!
Oh and-- about those who think GTC buying/selling for gain of isk is illegal... I find it funny that one of the hints when starting up Trinity is something like "Buying game time cards for cash and then selling them to players can be a great way to earn isk!".
