Birthday Map

Sooo...
I thought about Ellis's birthday which is in 3 days and I thought it would be cool if there was a special map that had a huge cake (possibly the cake monster) and the Birthday person would be able to warp there along with friends of their choice (like as in a wedding). There could be multiple rooms within that map (like an fm) and each room would have a different event going on that would last an hour for all the rooms or until each room is completed. It could be like only the GM / Admin would be able to warp the people there so that only the birthday person and his guests would have a mini "party". What do you think? :p

No.

The only thing you forgot is, this way if I would be a player I would say it's my birthday for 365 days a year.

It's simple to code a function to check if it's the account's birthday, but then you'd have to make a new column in accounts to check if a character on the account has already redeemed the "prize" or whatever.

If a character has talked to the NPC and it is infact the account's bday, set the "checkedBday" (or w/e else) column to 1 as true. Then, they won't be able to redeem the prize again from the NPC as long as it's true.
Then the next year, you'd have to check if it's set to 1 as well as 0, and set it 1 + checkedBday.
Simple enough, but tedious to the point that it isn't worth it.

Indeed.
