Let me be the first to ask can some one gift me something? Anything Im not picky. Just struggling in this cruel world that's all.

Question:

Let's say I already have the 1st level of the Resistance Pack, and someone gifts me the 1st level. Will that upgrade me to the second level?

Edit: For ease of reference, someone answered this:

"The Gifting system does not support the Package Upgrade process. You cannot Gift an Upgrade to a current Package; you can only Gift core Packages. If the Giftee has a lower tier Package the Gift Code will set the Giftee to the higher level provided by the Gift. Any value difference is ignored, and no refunds or account adjustments will be made to compensate for the Upgrade price difference. Please note that if the Giftee has a higher tier Package than what is being offered by the Gift Code, the Gift Code will not be consumed."

Wow this is a great move. I would love to see it extended to include mechs other than the collections though.

[TamerSA]

This is pretty good, tho if it gets extended to MC I hope we're not going to start seeing those pesky public channel beggars you find in other MMO titles...

[Myke Pantera]

Very nice!

Like others have mentioned already, the possibility to gift MC Packages or Mastery Bundles would still be a good addition. But the first step is done, and that's always the most difficult one!

If a player receives a Top Level Package, is the gift receiver eligible for the King Crab?

[Sirius Drake]

Thats awsome. Good start!
But: when will we get the rest of the items like premtime, heromechs and Mc?

Not surprising.
The system isn't automated as it seems.
So it's just too much work i guess.

[GB Tarkus]

S! Well done PGI.

[NocturnalBeast]

So if you gift a full package, are you gifting the crabs as well?

Umm... I dont think that means what you meant it to mean... I mean that really does not sound like a very well received gift an all.

[MadPanda]

I could use the clan wave 2 or resistance pack, tyvm .

[ExoForce]

@MadPanda: Best signature ever, period!

[MercilessTRADER]

I got excited, thought it was gifting between players in game..

Nice but how about an ingamestore option for cockpititems to "buy as a gift". that would be nice as well.

Good find, and I guess it makes sense. Rather annoying though for folks who get in early and want to gift an upgrade. But hey, it's a start!

Then the account hackers will start (though at least cockpit items isn't mechs). At least now it's just a code redemption. MC packages are probably coming soon, but I doubt we'll see much beyond that.

[Krigherren]

This is fantastic! I've hoped something like this would come about. Sharing is caring!

[Desintegrator]

Great idea - but also make it possible to send "owned Mechs" to friends !!

I have so many Mechs I dont want to play anymore and why is there no marketplace where I can sell them to other players ??

Anyone would like to have an Atlas for 5 million cbills ??
