You gals have wanted random giving back for ages but my health did not allow me to get the programming hours in to make it happen. I am very pleased to have the first iteration of this new addition to the game out.

What is Random Acts of Giving?
RAofG will be open in June and December of each year.

Who gets to give gifts?
You must have qualified for level 2 or 3 of the gift exchange to give gifts. I want to make sure that those who are giving understand how the gift exchange works, are established community members with a clear grasp of the game, and will give nice gifts. I was worried about people sending just random nonsense because they did not really understand what the RAoG page was or was for.

Who receives gifts?
Anyone who submits a wishlist and makes less than 250k weekly showing bonus can receive gifts. This number might be adjusted in the future but I was worried about there not being enough people to give to. You can submit a wishlist by signing up for the gift exchange at any level, OR by submitting just a wishlist on the RAoG page. (To prevent cheating, associated accounts will never be assigned to one another.)

Is my person reserved?
Lots of people can have the same recipient at the same time. That way if get an assignment and something comes up you don't have to feel bad. You did not stop them from getting gifts.

How many assignments can I have?
As many as you want. Don't vibe with someone's wish list? Get a new assignment. Want to send 10,000 hbs to every single person who qualified? No problem just keep getting new assignments. Want to only give to tiny newbie accounts? No problem just keep getting new assignments until you find someone you want to gift to.


GE updates sneak peak:
RAoG is also using the new straw/egg, horsebuck, and updated horse-giving features. You can look forward to using these in the gift exchange as well. Not only can you send items right on the GE page, it will keep track of these, displaying what has been sent, and create a chat message alerting the recipient that they were sent something.

Send something outside the RAoG page? No problem, just let the person know you sent it in the message window.

Bug Notes: Over the past several weeks I have done mountains of updates to the gift exchange and created Random Acts of Giving. I have done my best effort to make sure things are bug-free but it is difficult for me to try out all possible situations. If something seems off please let me know right away.
