    Two Christmas agos they gave everyone a snowball launcher and 100 snowballs. You could basically fire them at anyone without getting concorded.

    From what I have read so far (as to why they were removed was this).

    1. There were people basically trying to corner the market on snowballs. So much so that ccp put more snowballs into the game to kill the market.

    2. When you fired at someone with a snowball that person flashed red to you. Even though you got a warning before returning fire it was possibly the single #1 cause of death of newbies after its release.

    So rather then fix the flashing red thing they have turned all the snowballs into mush, and I believe if you had the launcher fitted and loaded with ammo then the launcher will be rusted and useless too.

    Wow... that's pretty damn cool that you got snowballs! That's so much fun! Yay... think of all the chaos one could cause! Is there another equivalent weapon, like a flare maybe? It'd be cool to fire some smoke up people's ass for the craic!

    See, at a stretch I reasoned "maybe snowballs are what the cool kids call comets or ice asteroids",so I thought it might have happened with the recent patch. Yahaw.

    Do noobs actually fall for that? I'd never fight someone unless it was on my own terms... or at least that's what I reckon... the only few times people have attacked me I've been all confused and then Concord gets them! Score. :confused:
