I'm pretty sure it was 10 days total from the announcement till it was closed. Some people did not get a chance to log in during that time. For a company to lack the foresight to realize that this is a good possibility in the month of December indicates poor planning.
You can say it does not until you are blue in the face, but other MMO's beat CCP at the "holiday gift game" because they planned it well.

I too missed the deadline. I petitioned and got my remap added to my account in about 8 hours. If you had done that instead of crying on the forums, you would probably have your gift by now. |

Just give every player till the 25th the chance to select a gift or just dont do any gifts at all.
And no im not butthurd its just another drop that tipped the bucket.
How about next time scanning through the forums. Maybe you wont look so foolish next time.

CCP is honoring petitions but instead you wanted to be mad on a forum.

You are likely just messing with him. However if you are serious and forgot to redeem you can petition and the GMs will honor it. (Atleast the remap that I know of)
Edit: Forgot to say petition under billing and sub reactivation offers. |

Its not just me, there are alot of others as you can tell from the sticky topic. Its not so hard making it open till the 24th so everyone has a chance right?
And btw im not cancelling my subscription i just post my point of view, call it what you want.
What we'll call you is an unobservant elf.
Oh, I'm sorry, I know its just before Christmas, you do know Christmas is coming, right? Its on the calendar, has been all year. I'm sure you've seen some commercials on the tele advertising these wonderful Christmas sales, and of course, I'm sure someone in your family has been bugging you about your Christmas shopping, right? So whata ya say that next year when Christmas gets close, you OPEN YOUR FRIGGIN' EYES and close that hole below your nose, and go and redeem your friggin' CCP gift.
Damn, I'm sorry, here, in the spirit of Christmas tell me what you wanted and I'll get it for you. No I won't charge you, but you will have to sing to CCP Navigator, in your best Lilly vonSchtook voice, "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer" and run around flapping your arms like a chicken while wearing only a santa hat and some whitey tighties. Some days you're the bug, and some days your the windscreen. -á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á And some days, you're just a man with a gun. |

Other MMO's don't offer a choice of gifts.

To be fair we all saw that this would happen no matter what steps CCP took in informing people. The problem isn't that the steps CCP took to inform people weren't good enough, but the knowledge of the simple fact, that you simply can't reach all the players that way no matter what you do. This fact alone makes the current gift system fundamentally a bad one.
I would have made the system so, that everyone would have automagically gotten a default gift(free bonus remap), but you had the option of changing it to something else in account management. This way everyone gets something without having to log, choose or redeem anything, but those who pay attention to the anouncements have the option to choose a more appropriate gift for themselves. As the system is automatic and has a good and useful default gift, it minimizes any bad feelings caused to the players in the likely case they missed it and radically reduces the amount of work the GMs have to do afterward. It's a win-win for everyone involved.

Heh, I almost added this same though nearly word for word at the end of my post. It's the only way I can think of that people wouldn't get hysterical about missing out on an imaginary gift. "Something" should have come to active account holders by default.
Of course, other MMO's have their issues as well.
WOT has a holiday special where you get 5X exp. for the first win of the day. The problem is they announced it only a couple of days in advance and it only lasts a few days... many will miss it.
I can only imagine what the forums here would have been like if they only got a couple of days notice about their gift. Perhaps they realized it though, and are giving a second gift, a free (fairly useless) tank. Not much to say about that, but at least they made sure people got something.
Much like CCP made sure everyone got two handy little implants... that apparently nobody cares to remember now. Revenge should not stop at the ship!

Yes of course, and when/if something went wrong with redeeming gifts on Christmas day then there would be 300 developers at the office just to fix whatever issue... true. |

Am I the only one who didn't even bother redeeming any gifts from CCP? It's not like they're going to be valuable or have any impact in my gaming anyway.
Now if they offered me a free PLEX for all the crap they've made the player base put up with then that's another story. |

Now the apologists and fanbois will run in screaming at you that you should have read every dev blog with a hidden blurb about gifts in and unrelated blog about something else, and paid attention to all the spam on log in screens. (which studies had shown very few people pay attention to things spammed ever day.) And noticed it on the news side bar which is usually filled with RP baloney not worth the time for most. And lets not forget they admit the majority of players dont use the forums at all. Twitter and FB? Lets hope the message didnt get bumped by other posts on those right?
But the fact remains they cant get around the fact that they did not EVE mail everyone. The most direct and sure way to get the message out to the players. While they didnt have problems doing so for the NEX store. This glaring point cannot be ignored.
Why no EvE mail message to tell players the details of the promo?
A promo that got messed up by changing the rules mid way then offering up the change after some of use had picked other things not knowing there was ever a remap option etc.
This was so terribly done even though i did get my gifts I will point out that it was done poorly. And defend those that missed it.
Fix your communication skills already. |

Tadaaaaa
Btw. I also didn't redeem anything on any of my accounts. This not because I missed some sign but because I didn't see any need to redeem.

I'm not messing with him Of course my dev character doesn't need anything, but I forgot to pick my gift for my player character (and no, I didn't mean to write the forum post as that character, we can just post without it being flagged so much and that's what I meant to do )
I don't want to petition it, because it was entirely my fault... I'm always on these forums, people around me were talking about it and I just knew what I had to do and didn't do it in tiime.... no need to add more work for my co-workers who are busy helping you guys |

i don't get it how the OP can be so arrogant to say that its ccp's fault that he forgot to request the present. If you are 12 i take it back, otherwise shut up, since if you would have read your mails, the login banner, devblogs, talked to people in-game or basically anything eve related you would have known what you have to do to get the gift.

Frogger does require some thought process that the OP clearly dosen't have.

I missed it also like many others, I think.
I also thought Christmas gift is till 24th at least. Whats with orthodox Xmas? I do not read every dev blog or every banner exactly. So I missed the deadline and that I have to go to the account management page to pick a gift.
Btw. lovely trolling in here again. Some ppl really think they are the pride of creation ...
