Most of you have noticed that the gift system has been down for about a day now. For some, all of the requests aren't open, for others you can accept friend requests and relationship changes, but most of the time the gifts box doesn't appear when you log on and proceeds to tell you that you haven't received any gifts at all (even though your friend just sent you five gift requests and that was the whole reason you signed on). This error makes it extremely hard to complete quests and receive the necessary items needed to level up skills or build new items.
What we've learned though is that getting these items from friends is not the only way.
Every time one of your friends share that they built an item or visited your house you can get items or money from them. To the left of your screen is a link called "Game Requests" on your Facebook home page, under all the requests for friends and gifts there is a section called "Game Stories" (you'll have to scroll down a bit but it is there) as seen in the above picture, here is where all of your friends' posts show up. Where it says "Claim Rewards" right click and open it in a new tab that way you don't have to leave the page that you are on and find your way back to it. Some of the rewards you can't collect because they are meant for specific people, but nine times out of ten they will be available to you. Prizes include: Love, Goodwill, Fury, Simoleons, Social Points, and more.

Until the bugs are all fixed, it's going to be a little rough and we're going to need to be patient with the developers. Everyone is experiencing the same problems at the moment, you're not alone. But we can get around the problems and when the bugs are fixed we can all gladly except the gifts and friend requests we've missed since it bugged.
Good luck questing!
