Some players haven’t been able to log into Pet Society to see their pets for up to a year just because of their “misfortune” of receiving over 99 gifts at one time. To clarify, this means the player received 99+ gifts between one log in and the next, and 99+ gifts were piled up at their front door at once. Having over 99 gifts at one time caused a glitch in the game that prevented users with too many gifts from playing.
I never had that problem, since I’ve never received anywhere near 99 gifts at one time, but I used to read about it on the Playfish forum and feel so sad for the players who obviously loved the Pet Society and their pets and were not able to play. I was honestly very disheartened and disappointed in the lack of assistance offered. Couldn’t Playfish have worked harder to fix this issue? It was also offensive that a number of Playfish moderators said that users who experienced the glitch had cheated in the game. Just because they said couldn’t replicate the glitch doesn’t automatically mean the glitch isn’t real or that it the glitch resulted from cheating. Today, I just read on the forum that one player who had experienced the 99+ gift glitch for five months was finally able to play again!
Hopefully, this means the 99+ gift glitch has finally been resolved for anyone else who’s been shut out from playing the Pet Society.
Updated to clarify: This glitch only occurred for players who had received 99 gifts at their pet’s door all at one time. The glitch never affected players who received 99+ gifts at different points in time over the course of many weeks or months.
