Christmas presents!
are here !
are here !
Please do not be joking about it being a large trout.. I have wanted that for a fucking long ass time! Best present ever!!!
... in Hitchhiker the dolphins vanish and leave a message:
"Goodbye and thank you for all the fish!"
wonder if the fish is technically suppossed to be a 'part' for the polar bear suit and more parts will be coming next year?
I got all three, but I don't have any estates.
So my guess it's down to deposits.
Unless CLDs count as estates when it comes to presents.
I think it's related to how much decay you've repaired, not deposits. I've almost always received all the gifts, Halloween gifts too, and this year being the exception, I haven't deposited since 2003. I always login and hunt & play seriously for some time before those "special dates". Owning an apartment might be a factor too, but I think if you've repaired stuff to a certain amount, you become eligible for more gifts. A guy I met last night who only joined about a month ago got a trout, I don't think he deposited anything. Newbies always get gifts and most haven't deposited...
think it was 1 gift for all, one for those that deposit, and third item was for those that owned an estate like an apartment OR deposited over 1k USD since avatar was created. I don't know if they are still using this criteria or not, but it seems like it.
Konve konve konve..
Jamira dropped her trout on the floor and can't find it. You're talking about something completely different...
(it's deposits btw )
Either that can't be the case or my avatar is "special", as I've always received the 3 gifts, and my deposit total since creating my avatar is under $200.

Hi,
These are the criteria for receiving the Christmas gifts:
One Gift: Participant has created an avatar before the update.
Two Gifts: The participant has made at least one successful registered deposit.
Three Gifts: The participant has deposited at least 10,000 PED or is the registered owner of an estate.
Kind regards,

Always was like that except for the last Halloween when we got only 1 gift for everyone.
Maybe you had owned an apartment once and forgot about that?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is annoyed by this. I've seen:That.
Also why is it so hard to keep any consistency on the names too... "Blabla bla (L) Blueprint (L)" vs. "blueprint bla (L) bla blabla (L)" etc.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is annoyed by this. I've seen:
(F,L)
(F)(L)
(F,C,L)
(F)(C)(L)
(Female)
(Female)(Limited)
And many other variations I can't remember right now. It's just unprofessional IMO.
Not to mention terrible for database management. I guess fault-proofing data entry and standardizing data was never one of MA's strong suits.
Are there three gifts on Arkadia too, or just two? I hopped a ride to Ark last night and only ended up with the hat and hamper over there.
What's the point in a "Novelty" item if the f'king thing just decays away in minutes? (ie: fish).... F'king stupid.

Anyone know how long will MA give out these gifts?
