I was thinking that it could be cool if there was a "birthday gift" system where you could go to an NPC in graal pay him and then your friend gets a gift on his birthday. These gifts would be random furniture items, or maybe some funny furniture birthday items that can be made by graphics team/staff. This would be a lot like the "Christmas gift system," except that it would be continuous and it would require the player to input their birthdate in their profile. Now I know there is always talk about abuse, which in this case would be that players change their birthdate constantly. This could be resolved if players aren't allowed to change their birthdate frequently, also it could cost 2.5k or something to change it.

 

"Pwease gif givet 2 mwe . It my birthday and noone gif mwe peasants *cry gani*"  

Yeah, the unfortunate thing about a system like this is there will be people begging all year round. At Christmas the begging was ridiculous, and it was only a day of gift buying lol.  

I like the idea

Alright, so how about this; instead of players gifting each other, how about a player can only receive one gift on his birthday, an automated "staff gift." For example, all players regardless of whether they received "christmas gifts" from their friends last year still received a gift from staff, I have a pic of this but I am on my iPhone atm. Anyways, this would eliminate the beggars. As for people that would like to change their birthdate, this could again be prevented by not allowing players to change their birthdate. If they accidentally typed it wrong the first time, they would only be allowed to change it once. However, they would not receive another gift since the server already recorded them as having received one gift that year.

tldr; only one gift on birthday, it is a gift you receive from "staff." Eliminates beggars like Blueh.  

Now that sounds like a better idea lol. I guess I'll have to go back to begging for gralats ._. jk  

Why not instead add a mystery box(a person can receive one once a day) from any player)give as many as you want) and pay 250 gralats for low chance and 500 for med chance and 1000 for high chance of rare item(such as UFO). This makes it all year round;gets rid of the one day shopping;stops the begging and gets people paying(lol- that rhymed :3 )

Again, the problem of beggars and scammers has to be taken into account.

scammer: "Farm me a [yellow] and ill give you a mystery box."

Player:"K im dune* know*"

Scammer: "haha bye noob XD... *blocks*"  

Hahaha, but it is much more along the lines after that, that it would be dumb to trade mystery box for that.  

Why be able to change birthdate at all? Last time I checked your birthday doesn't change...  

Leap year  

Gifts should contain things like

Well, when I was thinking of this proposal I thought of how a player could potentially abuse such. Therefore, I thought of the birthdate thing. A player could try to abuse that to try to get multiple gifts. The server would have to record the date they received the gift, so as to not give them another that year. Furthermore, I would think that one correction would have to be allowed to them in case they accidentally entered the wrong date, after that they wouldn't be able to change it.  

What your saying just makes the birthday changing useless since the system records the first birthday put down and then gives another one exactly one year from that date...just have a "hidebirth" command to hide it instead of changing your birthday.  

I got scammed on last christmas, that system wasn't fair
