I do think they just get counted separately each month, so they don't stack over multiple months...

Edit: It says this on the donation perk site, so yeah:
"In addition to this, we reward users who donate certain amounts of money within a month with additional gifts."
It's even in bold on the page as well.

As Chrizine said.
Is there still something unclear, savage_rose?

I guess it could be ambiguous over if it's a calendar month or 'a month's time' so counting from the first time you donate. That's easy to fix though; you just make it say "within a calendar month".

I not a native english speaker, but at least in German, when you say "within a month" you always mean a calendar month, because a month can have 28,29,30 or 31 day. If you mean a time period you would say "within 4 weeks" instead.

It's more ambiguous in English, at least among the people I interact with.
For instance if you call up a company and want them to send out a repair person and they say 'we'll get to it within a month' they always mean a month from when you call (so if you call on the 10th, then by the 10th of the next month) rather than by the end of the calendar month.

It would make FAR more sense to do it the way it is done in German! I like that way better.

Ah, I thought it was within a 30-day period. They're pretty much interchangeable in English.


Well...then I guess I should be getting a second Queen's shoulder ribbon and rabbit ears at some point? And I'll try to donate later this month to get the other 2 items :) . Thank you for the clarification!

I am sorry about the confusion! I was not aware it could be interpreted that way and will make sure starkad changes the text into "calendar month". :mcsad:

Thank you, Firn!

I'm still missing my 2nd pair of ears and shoulder ribbon for donating this month. Is this an oversight or do I still not understand how this works (LOL! I seem to be spending November perpetually confused, so I wanted to be sure :) )

Yes, I think there is still some confusion here?

You donated for 10 Fairy Coins this month and you got the Queen's Shoulder Ribbon (Periwinkle) and the Queen's Rabbit Ears (Midnight Blue) for donating for 10 Fairy coins as you should have.

I am not exactly sure why you think you should have gotten a second pair of them? :mcheh:

Last month you also donated for 10 Fairy Coins and you got last month's 10 Fairy Coin donation perks, which were the Queen’s Heart Bunny Ears (Soft Ruby) and Queen's Ribbon Horns (Bright Berry) for it.

It does not stack, you only get the donation perks for the amount of Fairy Coins you donate within a calendar month.

No, I got them for donating last month. I did not get additional ones for donating this month as well. I don't see where it says the donation perks are one-time only? Are they? That's where I'm getting confused. Thank you!

ETA: That was the root of the original question, that I had donated 10 coins in late October (I received the first two perks) and then 10 in early November; I had thought the donation period was within a 30 day period so I should qualify for the last 2 perks, but you clarified that it was 20 fc within a calendar month. I understand that I don't qualify for the last 2 perks yet, but why wouldn't I get the 1st 2 donation perks again since the month has started over?

I apologize if I'm getting too wordy, I just really want to get this cleared up so I can stop bothering you about it, I know your time is valuable. :mchappy:
