edit(KP)- Update- No changes were made to the gifting:
As since a few days back, TL has changed the rules about requesting.
Before, you could sent a request to all your neighbours (I have over 250) and you would recieve only the 20 first responders. This was fine by me.
Now, you can only sent 20 requests a day. If you do sent out to all your neighbours, the game will pick 20 at random, and only they can respond. The next day, 20 other neighbours will recieve your request, and so on.
This means that if you sent out to all your 250 neighbours, it would take over 14 days for each of them to recieve your request.
This also means that times events with requests will be far, far more difficult.
To be honest, it will mean you have to keep track on who's still active, and who isn't - while TL doesn't provide any help to that.
How do you feel about this change?
