Why not turn remaps into token items that can be traded on the market, just like plex?
Because it would be trivially easy to create arbitrary quantities of them with buddy invites:
Create new account with buddy invite Use PLEX to sub new account, get PLEX back for subbing buddy account Sell the 2 free remaps on the new account Repeat 2 more times Use buddy invites from the 3 new accounts to create 9 more accounts Sell 18 more remap tokens Etc.
If you allow remaps to be tradeable, you might as well just give everyone 27 in every stat. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

The gift of remapping will only be available to redeem on the 22nd of December. ONLY on 22nd of December?? Does that mean if i can't login on 22nd of December that i wont be able to redeem the bonus remap later?? good work though on the quick change how bonus remaps work Nope. The gift, if selected before the 22nd, will appear in the redeeming system on that date. We don't have any plans to let it expire though so you can safely redeem it later when it's convenient for you
Apologies if this has already been answered, but do we get to choose which character on the account receives the remap?

I would've thought a news or devblog about it in general would be in order. - For myself I found out about it by accident though another player.
Well there's a devblog, a sticky in general discussion and an advert on the login screen when you start EVE.
That seems fairly public. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

The community reporting some serious problems, the community team and developers quickly pulling together, checking possible solutions, a swift action to prevent further possible disappointments, quick communication and then of course more heavy developer magic, resulting in this fantastic turn around and great result. Seeing all this happen within such a short time and being part of it, this is wonderful.
Thank you.
This is a classic example the kind of player:dev co-operation that will make EVE more than the sum of its parts. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.
