Premium gifts

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I would like to see a modification to the online shop for buying premium. It would be very nice to be able to buy premium for someone as a gift directly from the shop rather than having to buy silver and give it to them which spoils it a little.

 

Suggested mechanics

  • Add checkbox as_gift
  • if checkbox == TRUE show textbox recipient_name
  • if as_gift == TRUE  and recipient_name.value == NULL show error message and stop
  • if recipient_name != valid_username show error message and stop

 

All other behaviour should be unaffected and the payment receiving callback should then process the credit on the account indicated by recipient_name. Most of the code for checking for valid usernames should already be existing in place so a simple function call on_submit should be enough without any real hard work being done.

 

Thanks

~Morl

It's a neat idea, would be nice way for people to add premium time as prizes to things like competitions. Would be good if it rolled out with the mysterious cash shop coming when?

+1  this would be a very nice option. 

 

Often there are players facing a hardship but enjoy the game and others enjoy having them around. 

 

Other times, players stand out as amazing individuals and this would be a nice way to spontaneously say thank you in a way that can say more than words in conviction..for those times when you care to send the very best..send a free  month or two subscription.

Awesome idea. If a few of my Alliance members in the early days who had fallen on hard times had a gift membership for a month or two, maybe they'd have never left. Or at least not for a good long while. +1.
