Thread: Why no gifting option?

  1. #1

    Lightbulb Why no gifting option?

    There are a lot of players who can't spend real money on this game. There are others who have more than they need and spend a lot here. Why is there no gifting option for the haves to give to the have nots directly? My birthday is coming up in a week and a former guildie stocked up some coins and credits and powered down so I could attack and get a present. I know there are gifts to guild members when you buy packages but why not be able to buy packages and send one directly to the person you wish to gift? Perhaps it would be another source of revenue.
    Could you enact this in the next few days please so I can get presents for my birthday on the 4th?

    Has been suggested and discussed several times. The only way to do it at this time is for the person that is going to receive the gift to start the purchase. When the screen where you enter the payment information comes up they give the url to the person that is going to pay and they can then complete the sale.

    Actually it can be done, they can set it up so that the person purchasing can enter the character name of the acct that they wish the gift to go to and the server number. This way when the paypal payment URL gets generated it will auto credit the package to whoever is receiving the gift. However, this does increase the potential for fraud and should not be implemented.

    I did not say it could not be done. In said that this is the only way that you can do it now. It could also be set up so that you could purchase gift cards of some sort and then provide the code to the player you are gifting it to.
