The new gifting center feature, which so far is only temporarily available during this holiday season, is coming in the next patch and there are a number of rules in place to protect it from being abused.
Here's the lowdown on the gifting system, straight from Hippalus himself:
"‘Tis the season for giving, so this Snowdown we wanted to offer you all the opportunity to spread some holiday cheer. In the coming patch you’ll be able to buy champions, skins, and RP as gifts for the significant summoners in your life. The gifting center will only be open for a limited time, so be sure to plan your holiday shopping accordingly.On the future of the gifting center, Hippalus commented:
Here’s how to give to a friend:
- Click on the Gifting Center in the store
- Choose the type of gift you’d like to purchase; you can give champions and skins with your RP, or buy RP to give to a friend
- Choose a friend
- Fill in your payment information if you’re gifting RP, or select the skin or champion you’d like to purchase for your friend; you’ll be notified if your friend is ineligible to receive the gift
- Add a touch of holiday cheer by filling in a personal message
Your friend will receive his present along with your Snowdown sentiments the next time he logs in.
This is the first time that we’ve offered gifting, so we’ve got a few rules in place to protect your account from any funny business or uncouth shenanigans. Here’s an overview:
- You need to purchase any skins, champions, or RP that you plan on giving away: we know that you might have some items in your inventory that you’re not using that frequently, but re-gifting is only classy when Amumu does it
- You can only give to summoners you’ve had on your friends list since early December: we apologize if you’re smitten with a new acquaintance, but for your own protection there’s no adding someone and then immediately showering them in gifts
- You must be at least level 20 to send a gift and level 10 to receive one: gifting is available for two weeks, so if you want to be a precocious gift-giver, level fast
- There are other restrictions on who can send gifts (no banned accounts) and how many gifts you can send or receive per day (generally 3/day): plan your gift-giving needs accordingly
Now that the fine print is out of the way, let’s get back to what’s really important: the spirit of giving. When the next patch lands, throw on your Santa hat and head over to the store to start your holiday shopping."
"If the holiday gifting feature is well received by players and does not become too tempting of a target for fraud and hackers, it will be brought back in early 2013, with improvements based on player feedback. Eventually we'd like it to be a permanent feature."
GG amazing
ReplyDeleteNOT first
ReplyDeleteI expected more, kinda disapponted at riot
ReplyDeleteYay imma be santa for a day!
ReplyDeletefirst! ahahahhahahaaaa
ReplyDelete"This is the season for giving [...]"
ReplyDeleteI shall bring great suffering!
Important clarification made later by Hippalus in that topic - the cutoff point for "you must be friends with x" is that you must have befriended them before the gift patch goes live. Anyone planning to do giveaways or whatever, take note!
ReplyDeleteDeath would be too good for the likes of you!
ReplyDeleteNeat. First.
ReplyDeleteNot letting banned people gift? Don't shower the guilt riot please.
ReplyDeleteSo u lvl a account to 20 get the 400 rp free and u can send gift to ur main account?
ReplyDeleteSeens legit
But there are barely anything you can get with 400rp
DeleteAWESOME! Gifts for ALL!
ReplyDeleteEDIT: Wait so can't buy gifts with IP and then give it to a friend? Must it be with RP?
Hence why you have to have had been friends since early december. Idk who friends their smurfs
ReplyDeleteit's not 400 rp free you are using your limited time of your life getting the account to 20, your lifetime means nothing? you are like wasting 30 hours for 2€ seems legit
ReplyDeletePeople that are truly, truly, truly outrageous
ReplyDeleteWould it be over-abused if you could gift things using IP. Like, you can smurf and give your main tons of IP, but there could be REALLY strict rules about gifting things with IP. It would be a neat function.
ReplyDeleteDeath by my hands.
ReplyDelete"--->gifting is available for two weeks<---, so if you want to be a precocious gift-giver, level fast" & It’s a time for sharing, so from the day of the next patch until --->December 26th<---, you can visit the Gifting Center, So patch today (12/12/12)?

ReplyDelete#PulsefireOut
Nice find. However, we are at 13 already, and no patch.
ReplyDeleteOFF-TOPIC: 12-12-12 and NOTHING HAPPENED. WHY??? (ok time to wait 1000 years for another 12-12-12)
Think about it... again.
ReplyDeleteIn my defense IF they followed what they said it was going to be yesterday. Most likely the new patch will be Friday or something.
ReplyDeleteKeep cool.
ReplyDeleteMy stinger is ready!
ReplyDelete;__________________________________;
ReplyDeleteTHERE CAN ONLY BE ONE
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't even make sense, dude..
ReplyDeleteI think I am fine with inspiring everything above you see, I am proud, what I am not fine is the imposter (although he uses the original splash art and name).
ReplyDeleteI find that truly truly outrageous.
Silence!
ReplyDeleteGifting? I love gifting. A punch to the face!
ReplyDeleteHey Mordekaiser, The only suffering you'll bring is to the people that will need to fix you after I am done!
ReplyDeletemundo think you a big dummie if you think its ok to have multiple accounts with the exact same name on a server.
ReplyDeleteHow delightfully painful.
ReplyDeleteMasochism aside, I'm waiting. Break the iron shell and release me from my prision!
halo! community!
ReplyDeleteIP based gifting is needed, I current have 170k IP and I've got everything I can buy with IP so I'd like to share the wealth a little
ReplyDeleteGreat conversation guys :P lol
ReplyDeleteThe rivers will run red.
ReplyDeleteGo ahead, be negative. You'll be just my type.
ReplyDeleteOh on second thoughts I could use a new trashcan.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can use me as a new thrascan, but don't forget that i know how to use your ghost too. Master of metal loves new rebel ghostly ladys. Tame the beast, you know.
ReplyDeleteI know... they never get things on time :/
ReplyDeleteWhy are there 2 Darius?
ReplyDeleteWhat that has to do with?
ReplyDeleteDownright Darius was born when I introduced LeBlanc to the Noxian Guillotine after acquiring 6 Black Cleavers.
ReplyDeletefear*
ReplyDeleteYou must upload a Veigar icon for your avatar immediately!
ReplyDeleteWoah Woah, just because you like to rumble, doesn't mean you could start a fight.
ReplyDeleteRemember, peace begins within.
Sometimes these champions like to say whatever comes to mind, even if it has nothing to do with the topic. And to Vladimir, a wise man once said:"be like water my friend".
ReplyDeleteNot really, both teams can pick the same champion.
ReplyDeleteSo there can be two, but not more.
How noble.
ReplyDeleteYou're not Ionian, you're just a fox who got magic.
ReplyDeleteDr. Mundo think you are fake! You have no face like Dr. Mundo! Plus you only post after Dr. Mundo!
ReplyDeletePeace begins within my stomach as soon as I've eaten all those yummy Cupcakes that are spread all about the bushes for some reason.
ReplyDeleteYes! E-romance between champion posers! Was soo waiting for this.
ReplyDeleteThe date was 12/21/12 I believe.
ReplyDeleteNo. This once was a bright and merry land. With champions sticking to the post and not trespassing to the comments section.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll let you suffer for a while....
ReplyDeleteI haven't got a brain, and soon, neither will you!
ReplyDeleteok seriously mate bugger off its not funny, i dont know how its even possible for you to make the exact same named account on discus but cut it out, theres a champ for everyone and i posted as mundo first, pretty much made it emediately when discus was open. go troll somewhere else or perhaps moobeat has to remove discus again, use discus practically and for mutual fun, not for this crap.
ReplyDeleteBalance above all else...
ReplyDeleteWhy limited time? i dont understand
ReplyDeleteMy gamertag is: BVSTED Karma
ReplyDeleteIf anyone wants to make my year and buy me Urfwick or Kitty Cat Katarina. I will love you forever.
Why not keep it permanent? it will just make them make more money, and i would like to buy birthday presents as well instead of only being able to buy it during christmas, which sucks because i will only spend my money on christmas for people i know in real life, after christmas id love to buy for others
ReplyDeleteAre you able to gift skins of a champion that the receiver hasn't unlocked? Does that unlock the champion for them too?
ReplyDeleteI know... that was the date of the "Apocalypse", or End of the World. 12 / 12 / 12 is a "portal", like 1/1/1, 2/2/2, 3/3/3, etc... It won't happen again in 100 years, or 1000 if you count 21XX as 1XX and not XX
ReplyDeleteI see. Thanks for the info
ReplyDeleteShall I give you a clone?
ReplyDeleteWell you not speak like Dr. Mundo, you just pretend to be Mundo. Mundo kills who he pleases!
