Starcoin Gifts

Now that I have the time (and energy) to blog, I can officially start ranting again.

I was a little weirded-out when I logged on to Stardoll about a week ago and I was brought to a page with a picture of several large, purple, wrapped gifts with Starcoins dangling off the bow. I read the blurb at the top and tried clicking on one of the gifts, but alas, Stardoll's seemingly good idea was actually a shoddy piece of crap that didn't work. Apparently you were supposed to get Starcoins from the presents when opened, but those damn things just refused to open.

A few days later, Stardoll fixed this problem, and now every time I log in, I get a lovely surprise of three or five Starcoins. Kind of useless, though, don't you think? I could always use the extra money, but I always think whether Stardoll actually needed this attachment to the Earning Starcoins system.

Another thing that bothers me is that Stardoll has a cap on the amount of Starcoins a single user can have. Now, I find that just plain irritating. I was about to buy a lovely wig from my friend's Starbazaar, and it turns out I couldn't buy it because her Starcoin limit was at the max. That's just bothersome for the buyer and the seller. I don't think it has become a real problem yet, but it's just kind of annoying, for me, personally.
