Hello,

I'm new to this site (just started using gog a few months ago) and this is the first time I have really taken a look into the Community pages. I have to admit that I am highly impressed with the generosity and the quality of the people that use this community. I have a feeling that I am going to like this place! Finally, a community where people give and share with each other without trying to make one another feel stupid or little for asking questions and making typos or grammer mistakes.

One question.....how do you gift a game to someone? Like I had said, I am new here and don't know exacly how things work. Thanks :)

When you check out, be sure to check "Select to gift this order". If you know the other person's email, enter it, OR you can enter YOUR email and then PM the code to the person you wish to gift.

It's important to note that ALL games in the checkout will be on ONE code.

1.Buy it
2. At the checkout page, mark the "This is a gift" tab and the send it to your own e-mail.
3. Go to My Account - My Games - Gifts and copy/paste the code into the PM box of the person you want to give it to.



That's all there is too it. Feel free to practice on me if you want =))

I'll keep in mind that all games purchased at one time will have one code! Thanks for the tip!

Do people just list games here that they want or do you have to access thier wishlists in some way? Sorry for all the questions!

They list their wishes in this thread.

You can also upload your wishlist to gogwiki.com (an unofficial fan made site).
ie: [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/User:Adambiser]Mine on the site[/url]
This is done using Barefoot Essentials.

By the way, not looking for gifts.

This is a thread where people list their wishlists. Alternatively, they can post them on the GOGwiki. If you want to see a user's profile on the GOGwiki, just press on their username, and if they have an account there, you'll see their shelf(with the games they own) and their wishlists on the bottom. BTW, I was just joking, don't need anything ATM :) But if you'd like to make my day, buy yourself Sacrifice, which is one of the best games ever made, but one of the least-known as well.

Hmm... So if someone who doesn't have BME presses on my username, they won't be sent to my Wikipage?

Usernames ain't clickable without BME.And also, why should GOG link to a 3rd party website? The GOGWiki is community driven after all.
