yes ... me too
This has been reported and is currently being looked into.
We will provide more updates as soon as we have more info.
I now have two boxes, but I shall be leaving the second one unopened in my star menu. I remember the fiasco the last time this happened.
Put 2nd Gingerbread House on island... not going to upgrade it though as I predict BB will ask (perhaps demand) for them back.
I got a 2nd as well.
No way that discovering a bug can be considered "exploiting" a bug!

Since there is no point complaining about moderation, it wasn't a complaint. It was a statement of fact of what happened last year
I have tried to open my special gifts and it goes grey but nothing comes into the star menu
You should find it in the buffs tab
Two years in a row. I start to think it's a feature, not a bug. So thank you for the lovely surprise. I consider it as a refund for 26k gems spent on the Christmas Surprise Package (75 boxes ish) and not a single Gingerhouse from it.
At least when it was the improved store it was only 1 additional, this time its a lot worse some players get a box every time they log out and log back in.
Memory is fine, i was away from the game the last 2 examples you show, i referred to the earlier time it happened xmas 2013 i believe. I have received 1 box last night . None here since. I was just posting to report some players were able to gain multiple boxes.Quote:

Thank you all for your patience!
I'm the same, opened box twice still no rewards.
doesnt work for me :( im jelly. i hope BB fixes this grave injustice /s
I havent got my arctic goldmine nor the gingerbread house - they are not not in misc. and not in buffs
look for `golden present' in buff tab Boudicaa ;) `frosty winter gift' on mouse over
that does not sound too clever :-(
i have 2 in star menu.....lets see what happens.....nice event though :-)
i see many people selling numerous gingerbread houses and can only assume they have collected the box multiply times as there is a flood of these houses up for sale right after the last door opened....
i do hope they are force to return them else it makes a mockery of fair play rules.....
at 90-120kgc per sale these cheats are gaining a large advantage over those who dont cheat...
i didnt even know i had to open another door to get prize
sent a ticket with no joy BB dont really care about the player just our money to buy gems
Perhaps but not necessarily, I for one bought 5 from trade that day for 70k each, sold 3 back made a profit, it's the mechanics of the game. Sure i guess there are those out there that went crazy and exploited the heck out if it and of course like last time this happened with a calendar glitch it will be dealt with.Quote:

One must expect a similar approach this time, so it might be best to advise your guildies not to sell any exploit ones... and, if they are seeking to sell, to wait until prices rise.
Last time it happened it was improved store, easily available. The gingerbread house is a new building people will not be able to buy them back as they are not available in the merchant for gems like the improved store was.
The gingerbread house can also be found in the Christmas surprise package if your lucky. That somebody has a lot of these house's means they spent a lot of gems during the event, no exploit was needed.
But on here, BB have shown a very disappointing "triple standard".Quote:

Add to these two the Devs flat refusal to replace premium items (including those paid for with real money) when their stupid bugs deleted them after introducing untested features to the Live game and sticking their heads in the sand over the bug reporting on Test server.
Sorry BB, you need to make a choice here. If you won't reimburse us for losses to your bugs, why the heck should we be expected to give back stuff when it works in our favour?
And this will continue as long as you still have this cavalier attitude to releasing untested material, there is no point in us testing it when feedback is ignored and you've still got 4+ year old bugs on Live that are still on your "to do" list.
i do hope that double/multiple end rewards will be taken away/corrected- would be unfair to all others that played/stayed within game parameters aka didn' t use the exploit
I think best way to fix it would be give ppl gingerhouse who didnt get 2nd that would be fair. Cuz im sure some already sold them all and dont have so removing might not work. Or i dont know BB will decide i just offer the option. Dont think that 2 instead of one gingerhouse will change the game. Everyone need population so crazy that extra 115pop wont change anything :)
at end of the day everybody knows your only meant to get 1 last prize from last door....it does not matter if there was a bug or not this fact cant be ignored....
like with imp stores people know full well when login in and out to get more is cheating...
also yes people could of gotten extra from other sources but i suspect that because they all appeared on t/o that day these were all exploited gingerbread houses...
the suggestion to give every on an extra house will not be likely when people have login and out like 10 times to grab 10 houses to sell in t/o...they know its wrong so should hand back thier ill gotten gains or suffer the results of failing to do so......
Well i didnt heard that after login again they could get more. I thought only 2 was max isnt it?Quote:

Another exploit that some have taken advantage of. I assume there will be a lot of deleted accounts soon.
My advice is if u sold a gingerhouse that u got more than once from the calendar grab it back from trade while there are some still about or risk account deletion!
and what about those that fairly bought the houses from trading ?
i just bumped onto this topic and had no clue of the possible exploit until now and still i bought 5 houses, for alot of resources/coins, hopefully they dont get deleted
Thank you Ravel :)
Hopefully that means this Thread is Closed now
