Yeah, they are called "gifts." Just like when the bank offers you a "gift" to open an account, or you can get a "free gift" for signing up for two years cell phone service. Or, as you know, like when Pogo offers a badge because you've been a customer a certain number of years.

Yes, Pogo did give a badge for the first 3 or 4 (not even sure without looking at my badge book) years of service. But, if we don't get a 5th year one, I don't expect people will close accounts in protest, or that we'll see alot of complaining in the rooms if we don't get one.....that's what I meant. And badges *are* the point of a Club Pogo membership, yet I still don't think people would be all that pissed about not getting a special 5th year badge. But objects aren't the premise of TSO. They assist in game mechanics but they are not the crux of it. Why can't you see that this is just much ado about nothing and understand that we'll get an answer when we get one, whether that answer is that the gifts are indeed the cannon, that we won't get any further gifts at all, or that the gifts won't come for another 3 months. You don't have any more control over it than the rest of us do, so I don't understand why you are wasting time getting your feathers ruffled over it instead of enjoying what we already have, or finding something else to enjoy. I don't want to believe you enjoy complaining, but when you continue to do so even in the presence of logical answers and/or lack of the answers you want to hear, what else is there to think?
This is seeming to be less and less about the issues being complained about and more about other things entirely.

You paid for it, no matter how you look at it. I'm glad you enjoy your "gifts." Did I ever say I wanted to take away your joy?
[/ QUOTE ]
Each post filled with complaint after complaint, from whomever is doing the complaining does chip away some of that joy for alot of people, even if that's not part of the original intent. I know you know this, because it's been said before. The only option therefore, if the person does not want to see the continuous complaints and the complainer refuses to stop, is to put that person on ignore. I've known you for long enough time that I personally don't want to do that with you, because I know that you usually do see reason, so why would I write you off?

And don't be silly. You really think I paid $600 to get an anniversary gift? Pffft. That is only what the years of subscriptions paid on each account adds up to. I figured that the logic was clear, but I should know better than to assume.
[/ QUOTE ]
It was clear to me, I just wanted YOU to see it. To see that even without the anniversary gift, even if we never get another one ever again, the money we spent on the game is not wasted because of the countless other things we *have* gotten, even in the 2+ years that there were zero updates at all, even without Free Green, or even without holiday items. Yeah, all that stuff is cool, but if what was already there wasn't worth crap, then all you'd have is cooler version of the same crap.....which is why I don't understand how anybody would say they stick around just for the anniversary items, cuz you are not the first person to say that only they actually meant it just like that. I'm glad you do realize though that your $600 is still well spent as things stand
