Hi CCP,
what went wrong? On some Omega accounts I’ve got the package on others nothing.
Did this happen to others as well?
Edit: see @CCP_Falcon’s comment below. Apparently a script is running as we speak and Accounts get their packages one after the other. Logout/Log back in, if you can’t find yours in the redeeming system(alt+y)
tl;dr
Falcon is too fast explaining things to us and
kills rage thread before it gets going.
Distribution happens over the course of downtime via DB script, which is still running as we speak given the number of accounts it has to grant the gifts to.
Providing you’ve been logged in over the course of the last 30 days, you’ll be on the distribution list.
Once the script is finished running, we’ll know if everyone’s been gifted correctly.
There is also the question of eligibility. I got a mail reminding me to login before the sixth of May to get the gifts, yet the blog post says only accounts that were active 30 days before the cutoff date are eligible.
Do you not understand what prior means? it means before, as in, if you login within the 30 days before may the 6th, its not really a complicated concept
Some players are reporting that they only got one giftbox per registered email address despite having multiple Omega accounts. I didn’t get anything on my Omega accounts. Get your pitchforks ready…
Apparently the DB is running a script for distribution (gee CCP, maybe a head’s up next time or at least a little more clarity?) So I guess if nothing shows up in 24 hours we can enjoy having to file a support ticket and waiting a month…
Beautiful. Knew it had to be a running technical thing, not just a one-toggle-fixes-everything deal… Dumb question though, do we have to relog? Or do we get a “ding” when something lands in our redeem box?
