Mini Mall: Gifts and More!

by Lura on November 17, 2009

gifting Mini Mall: Gifts and More!Pogo’s given us a gift today in the form of Gifting Services! We’re now able to give other players items for their minis, Mix-n-Match badges, and Premium Badge Albums.

Update: If you’re a privacy nut but your profile is still public, you’ll want to make sure you adjust your Gift Settings (which can be found by going to the “My Gifts” link on your home page, then choosing “Gift Settings” from the left sidebar). If you were to receive a gift and open it, by default the item, the sender’s name, and the message they included with the gift would be displayed on your profile to whoever has rights to see it. Make sure to check the boxes for “Keep sender names private” and “Keep messages private” to stop that from happening.

In addition, we got a release full of holiday items today as well! There’s just over a page full of new backgrounds, goodies, and clothing for our minis!

Mini Mall Holiday 2009 release

Update 11/19: they’ve added 3 more items to this release, all token items. Hooray! Thanks MomsBassetHound for letting us know about today’s mini Mini release!

And last, but not least, they’ve put up a free token offer (which we’ll also add to our Free Tokens page) to celebrate gift-giving!

Thanks, as always, to everyone who wrote in to let us know about these new additions!

Gifting Services Coming to Pogo

by Lura on October 22, 2009

gifting Gifting Services Coming to PogoSoon, you’ll be able to give more kinds of gifts to your friends via Pogo! Currently the only “gifts” we can give are Premium Badge Albums, but Pogo is going to be implementing a whole My Gifts section where you can give and see what you’ve received. You’ll be able to give Mini items, Premium Badge Albums, and Mix-n-Match badges to your friends. It’ll show you exactly what you’ve received too, and who gave it to you.

In the Mini Mall, for example, you’ll be able to select “Give as a Gift” (in addition to “Try” or “Add” to your cart) and it’ll stick the item in your Gift cart. You then choose your recipient and send away! It appears as if you’ll be able to send items worth tokens and gems, though that may change in the future.

Let’s hope Pogo gets this neat feature up and running before Christmas, I suspect a lot of people’s shopping lists will be shortened considerably if they could easily gift tons of mini items and mix-n-match badges to their Pogo friends!

Do you think you’ll use this feature? Do you like the idea of now being able to gift more than just PBAs? What else would you want to gift to your friends?

2009 Halloween Limited Edition Badge Released

by Lura on October 10, 2009

The 2009 Halloween Limited Edition badge has been released. This one will set you back 28 gems:

Spooky Slots - 2009 Halloween Limited Edition Badge
Spooky Slots – 2009 Halloween Limited Edition Badge
Win 500 tokens from the Free Spin Bonus in 3 days! (The Free Spin Bonus is triggered when the Ghost symbol stops on the reels) Win this badge plus 2,000 tokens.

Just FYI, the original requirements for this badge were “Spin the reels to get 3 Spiders 5 times in 1 day!” Thankfully Pogo decided to loosen up a little bit and make this based on the free spin bonus and not 3 spiders which probably would have been near impossible!

Don’t forget to check out our Upcoming Badges page for a preview of the Halloween weekend challenge coming up later this month!
