Seems to be slowly rolling out but not sure if there is any order to it - my accounts with characters around 50-70m SP got it first, 100+m was 1-2 days later but an account with a character with 57m SP hasn’t had it yet. ---

Maybe CCP doesn’t want my money… All of my other accounts haven’t received the offer either and they’re well below 50 mill SP’s. ---

its a very real email. you have to have an account with no activity for a long enough time to trip the algorithm. There is probably more to it as well I wouldn’t be surprised if it targeted accounts with no activity that when were active tended to buy things more often plex, extractors, ect. I got one for an old off grid booster that i started using as an SP farm but haven’t touched in over two years but not for any other accounts . ---

Interesting observation though probably just coincidence - when I played I was doing a lot of overtime at work so cash rich, energy poor and largely PLEX’d my way through and the accounts that have had the offer so far are the ones that would be most apparent on. The account which hasn’t (yet) was one I dabbled a bit in industry on the side and didn’t use for much else. ---

only good in relation to the others. CCP started cracking down hard on CSM They stop communicating with you ect. They will even do it to CSM members from player groups they don’t approve of. they become csm members in name but can’t actually put in imput. or they will just lie to the CSM what they are going to implement get all of the CSM to endorse it, release something completely different and through the csm under the buss. Honestly I have nothing against brisc we don’t agree on some things but he does seem to try and his views stay consistent on things rather than just going with the FOTM or what would make people like him ---

The question is not whether they “promised” - the question is whether they did an actual pinkie promise - otherwise it doesn’t count. ---

I’ve an account that’s lapsed merely 3 months, after years of plexing it, and got the mail. `Until Monday, January 3, 2022, you can get 3,240,000 Skill Points for $79.99 to catch up with all the training time you have missed. Claim your offer today in the EVE Store.` The reason I find it mildly offensive, is this is NOT an invitation to resume playing - because it does not include game time! “Give us ur money, then you can go back to minecraft. We know you have choices, and we’re cool with it! -ccp” CCP should include some **game time** with any “catch up” SP offers. ---
