VMK Gift-Giving

[cat_herder]

Actually last years gift was the green wreath

The pink was sold like it is this year..

Also- anyone participating in this- count your credits well- last year many ended up with negative credits because they do not take the credits out of your account until they are delivered- so you could have 2000 credits and send to 4 people and then something new come out in the store and you buy it and leave your self with 1500 credits and short 500 credits on gifts you already spent.

If I recall correctly many people woke up with negative credits because of this. It is sort of like writing a check that vmk holds before depositing in the bank- you spent the money but it will stay in your account and can be spent until vmk sends the gifts...

Best to leave yourself with a buffer of at least one gift if you are low on credits.

VMK also double billed people. I got it on about 4 of my accounts and other people did to.

To be sure you get a present, send one or more to yourself. That's what I did last year.

Not to misrepresent facts, i need to correct my above statement. I asked Fin if presents to staff would be delivered and she said all gifts wold be delivered. Not sure if they did or didn't deliver last year, but some felt from credit count they did not so they figured that is where to diference was.

I was talking to Lily... or was it Hula... hmmmm I forget... But they did say you could gift staff, BUT she encourged everyone in the room to gift freinds instead, since staff has those magic pockets and get as much of anything as they want... and your friends dont have those magic pockets...

Soooooooooo as much as I love staff, my gifts are going to 1) close friends 2) kids on the DIS I know dont have a lot 3) me

Hmmm....when I try to use the 'contact us' link, I get an "Error. Technical problem in help tool" message. What's the deal?

I wisj they would take the credits from the account when you do it, it would let us know that a present is going to be delivered. Why don't they just sell it in the emporium and when you buy it, ask for who you're sending it to and then send it. I also think that they should send it to a person before christmas as a big present shape box and then on christmas day it should turn into what it is.

Will we know who sent us this gifts this year? I think it is a wonderful idea and I love sending gifts to my friends, but I would like to say thanks to the people who send them to me!

...but I would like to say thanks to the people who send them to me!

EXACTLY!

 

[astrodrummergirl]

why don't they put a from box as well. So you would write..... To, (person you send it to) From, (yourself)

And then make it that you don't have to fill the from box in so people can send anonomosly but friends are still able to thank the right person for the present

I really enjoy the idea of this give a gift event. However, I just completed 25 seperate entries!!! Can I just say what a pain in the but it was to do them all seperately.

I hope that maybe next year, we might be able to do it all at the same time! just a thought.

I would also like to see an optional "from" feature. Then, if you want to let somebody know you gave them a gift you could, otherwise you could remain annonymous. There are a few people who will be getting gifts from me this year and I know they will have no idea that it is from me. I know my friends will know, but these are people who I may not see much in the game but whenever I do see them, are always kind to me and take a moment to have a quick chat with me. Things like that mean a great deal to me and they will be getting presents.

I hope your fingers aren't too sore from sending presents 25 times. Even sending one was boring so i don't know what 25 was like
