Gift Limit Notification Added

Share:

Since the gifitng system was updated, we were no longer notified when we hit the daily limit of 200 free gifts. I made a post about this issue yesterday and it can be found here. Instead of a notification that the limit was reached, all we were getting was an error message that stated "Something has gone wrong. This error has been logged and we're looking into it.".
Today a proper notification was added. When you try to accept your 201st gift for the day, you will be told in a message that states "You cannot accept any more Free Gifts today. You can accept more in X hours.". This is much better because now we don't need to guess if we hit our limit or if our gifting is bugged.
If you click the "Accept Gift and Thank" button, your friend will still get a thank you gift. I also noticed that the gifts you weren't able to accept return to your ZMC. They may get bumped if you get too many gifts after they were sent but at least they don't go to waste once you reach your limit.

    I've noticed that gifts with the "Accept" button now become "Accept and Thank" at some point; thought at first it was happening at midnight Zynga time, but tonight it seemed to be a bit earlier than that.

    Anyone know the rhyme and reason? Is it that when we haven't sent someone something for 24 hours they become "eligible" again and the button changes?

    It think Link-a-nator is not working anymore.
    Free gifts link gives this :-( error code: kn-39 )
    Free gifts can only be accepted via the in-game Message Center

    Also accepting gifts from game request page of FB, just opens MW homepage . .

    Stupid to have 500 in your mafia but only 200 gifts per day.

    Anonymous #1: Yeah, that's it exactly. The "Accept" button becomes "Accept and Thank" when you are able to send the person a gift. This would be 24 hours after the last time you sent them a gift.

    The "Gift & Thank" works alongside the new attempt at remembering peeps you authorized the ZMC to send gifts w/o a seperate message (something apparent is FarmVille) that MW is starting to use. When everyone is registered via this method, gifting will become much easier, in both directions.

    "Accept & Thank" is an experiment along the lines of gifting already in use for other Zynga games. By confirming that you want ZMC to remember your decision to allow gifts to be sent to your friends, gifting becomes much more streamlined and less delaying.

    I like the ease of the new gifting BUT, and maybe just me that when you get over 100 gifts now the rest just dissappear, was saving the Briefcase Guns, so I could use them for next round, but they are gone now...
