And still some (old players) get gifts, while others don't..

New arrivals: a huge update, and a gift!

[Colyx]

Looks like Steam users don't get anything either?

[Smiffy2204]

its a nice ty from bb for sticking with the game for so long

[Ozzymandeus]

Actually that was the exact opposite of its intention. Originally, it was only supposed to go to people who hadn't played in a while in an effort to entice them back, but they messed up who it was sent to and some people who had been playing regularly for years also received it, when they shouldn't have done.

This is an old mistake that, I believe, predates the game arriving on Steam, so nothing for those players to be affronted about. In fact, I'm not really sure why this thread has been dredged up again after almost three months. I think even the folks at BB recognise that this was a big mistake, given the fact that they actually "apologised" for something... which almost never happens... so, unless they subsequently demonstrate a complete failure to learn from the mistake, this should probably be left well alone.

You need to have registered your real world e-mail address to get these mails.

As for the thread being dredged up again looks like somebody was too lazy to start a thread about the fact they have not yet received a xxl gift mail.

[Colyx]

Mails with codes were sent out this morning (depending on your time zone) - and just a few actually received them.

[Ozzymandeus]

Ah... well... perhaps someone should have made that clearer when they necrotised the thread?
(Rhetorical question is rhetorical!)
