Our Customer Support team has seen an increasing number of cases where backers have been taken advantage of by users posing as \u201cmiddlemen\u201d on the grey market.

While we applaud your dedication, be aware that criminals seeking to prey on your good intentions are on the rise!\n\nAs a result of these cases, we\u2019re making a number of changes to our gifting system to reduce the potential for fraud. These changes will take place on Thursday, May 1st. You have until then to move your packages and accounts to where you would like them!\n\nThe changes are as follows:\n\nAn added thirty-day \u2018gift lock\u2019 on gifting users\u2019 first purchases. This is intended to block users who create throwaway accounts to transfer stolen ships and packages. This applies only to new accounts and not any existing backers.\n\nIn order to eliminate the middleman scam, packages will be giftable only once before they are locked to an account. Giftings prior to May 1st, 2014 will not apply to this limit.\n\nPackages and ships purchased using store credit may not be gifted. This is to prevent anyone from circumventing the single-gift limit by melting items for store credit and then purchasing them again\n\nThe safety of our backers and the Star Citizen experience is our utmost concern. In short, we do not want to see another user swindled on the grey market where we can not offer support. The hope is that gifting changes will reduce these increasingly common off-site sale issues.","de_DE":"Gr\u00fc\u00dfe B\u00fcrger,\nWir nehmen einige \u00c4nderungen an der Funktionsweise von Geschenken vor! Unser Kundendienstteam hat eine zunehmende Anzahl von F\u00e4llen beobachtet, in denen Geldgeber von Anwendern genutzt wurden, die sich als \"Mittelsm\u00e4nner\" auf dem grauen Markt ausgeben. Wir sind uns bewusst, dass viele Geldgeber es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht haben, solche Dienstleistungen zum Wohle des Spiels anzubieten. W\u00e4hrend wir Ihr Engagement loben, denken Sie daran, dass Kriminelle, die versuchen, Ihre guten Absichten zu missbrauchen, auf dem Vormarsch sind!\n\nAls Ergebnis dieser F\u00e4lle nehmen wir eine Reihe von \u00c4nderungen an unserem Geschenksystem vor, um das Betrugsrisiko zu reduzieren. Diese \u00c4nderungen werden am Donnerstag, den 1. Mai, stattfinden. Bis dahin musst du deine Pakete und Konten dorthin verschieben, wo du sie haben m\u00f6chtest!\n\nDie \u00c4nderungen sind wie folgt:\n\nEin zus\u00e4tzliches drei\u00dfigt\u00e4giges \"Geschenk-Schloss\" f\u00fcr die ersten Eink\u00e4ufe von Benutzern. Dies soll Benutzer blockieren, die Wegwerfkonten erstellen, um gestohlene Schiffe und Pakete zu \u00fcbertragen. Dies gilt nur f\u00fcr neue Konten und nicht f\u00fcr bestehende Geldgeber. Um den Zwischenh\u00e4ndler-Betrug zu eliminieren, werden Pakete nur einmal verschenkbar sein, bevor sie f\u00fcr ein Konto gesperrt werden. Geschenke vor dem 1. Mai 2014 gelten nicht f\u00fcr dieses Limit. Pakete und Schiffe, die \u00fcber ein Ladenguthaben gekauft wurden, d\u00fcrfen nicht beg\u00fcnstigt werden. Damit soll verhindert werden, dass jemand das Single-Give-Limit umgangen wird, indem er Artikel f\u00fcr Ladenkredite schmilzt und sie dann wieder kauft. Die Sicherheit unserer Geldgeber und die Erfahrung des Star Citizen ist unser gr\u00f6\u00dftes Anliegen. Kurz gesagt, wir wollen nicht, dass ein anderer Benutzer auf dem grauen Markt betrogen wird, wo wir keinen Support anbieten k\u00f6nnen. Die Hoffnung ist, dass Geschenk\u00e4nderungen diese immer h\u00e4ufiger auftretenden Probleme beim externen Verkauf reduzieren werden.","zh_CN":"Greetings Citizens,\nWe\u2019re making some changes to how gifting works!
