Forum Giftboxes
Just a note: forum giftboxes pull from the free shop, which we manually stock. We suggest you use these boxes as you get them, or at least by the end of the week! We won't keep restocking the pool of items after next weekend, which should be enough time for y'all to open and enjoy the boxes. :)

"Oh no! It looks like the prize pool is currently empty. We stock the prizes for these manually, so please check again soon! Your gift box has not been taken so you will be able to try again later."
Got 2 of these so far this morning and no prize. Maybe the prize pool should be increased in size as it seems like it's a common error for users?

Great idea.
Not so great when all the staff are awake, active, and restocking the things when I'm asleep.

@Lichen you don't have to be a social creature to post on the forums. Dance claiming works. There's also threads in the masquerade forums entirely dedicated to "post for boxes" where you can literally just post the word "boxes" over and over without having to talk to anyone.

It was confusing since after opening my box dissapeared... but then it appeared again, I think? Or is my inventory going foggy?
I hope it's not taken as critisism, it's just confusion upon excitement.. I absolutely don't mind to wait, it's like a mystery unraveling what will be in the box! ;-D

Thanks for bringing back the boxes at all, it was a nice surprise and I can't wait to see what new threads we'll get later and which NPCs we'll get to see.

You don't even need to scroll down, it's listed in the news post itself that the boxes need to be manually stocked. Not sure why so many people are having trouble understanding how it works.

I finally got a box and it's empty! :(

hope your post wasn't a childish provocation to me, as I'm not complaining about the awesome gifts, only about the current distribution method ;)

I simultaneously love and hate these boxes.
I love that they're available, but I have yet to see one, as in, I have never ever received one. I kind of prefer things that aren't so dependent on RNG, but what are you gonna do, I guess.

(massive thank you to the staff btw, y'all are going above and beyond lately and many of us do appreciate it)

@StarShadow Hope this helps.
For now: I have made a change so that when you open an empty gift box, it will tell you so and will not delete the Forum Giftbox. That way you will be able to keep it to open later when there are items stocked again.

I've gotten 1 box but afraid to open it yet. News says open them by end of the week but isn't today the end of the week? Is it OK to open them now?

The drop rate must be very very low, unless posts on the masquerade forums don't count??

Thanks for the boxes and the fixes...always something, huh? Just never easy, even something as unexpected and nice as this. But appreciate all the work. <3

Thanks you Bug for changing it so we don't lose our giftboxes when there's nothing stocked. Really appreciate that :D

Uh also I guess I should quote it for convenience:

All right so, here's the situation... Amber stocked the boxes a few hours ago, and for some reason the stock is empty right now. It's midnight where she is and it's 3 AM where I live. Amber is asleep right now, and I am not familiar with item circulation, so I cannot stock the gift boxes myself. (I'd be afraid of accidentally putting a rare plot weapon in there or something D: )

So... I found a box. I opened it and "found a !"
Nothing in my inventory. Are some of these supposed to be empty?

I've made a lot of posts and got 2 forum points, the drop rate seems very very low. From what I remember, the last time we had hte gift boxes, the rates were way higher.

Jeez I've been posting like mad. Are you sure they're dropping? Probably not worth it.

Dueling is not battling. Whenever you go to the dance floor after an invite there is a random chance of getting a duel. If you win you get a bag of trinkets. But it's rare, I've only gotten a few duels out of hundreds of dances. Good luck.

By dueling do y'all mean battling? I have NO IDEA how to come across that Boudewijn character.

Odd. When I posted on the forum right after this it said I got a forum point. But when I went to my inventory there is now a raffle ticket there and I'm not sure where it came from. Was that instead of a gift box?
