What about current supporter?
It feels a shame that non-supporters get a gift, while supporters don't
They get +1 day more of supporter tag?

Nah, then give them an extra day of supporter to start with.


Supporters can get 10 free kudosu on their birthday?

No
Kudosu need to be earned
I almost have 210 kudosu, and I think it's bad if everyone gets 10 if they are a supporter
Cause kudosu are only for helpful people
On the other hand, you can see supporters as helpful (to peppy) so this might be an option
I still think this should not happen
Play 18 years, and you can join BNG (okay, you need to be an active modder, but my point stands still though)

If someone is already a supporter, just extend their supporter tag by 1 day on their birthday.

This seems like a pretty good idea to me. It's good for players because they get free stuff and I would expect it to be good for peppy because allowing more players to sample supporter is likely to cause more people to actually buy it - I first got supporter because someone gifted me a month of supporter once and when it ran out I liked it too much to not renew it D:

Abuse by changing your listed birthday can be avoided pretty easily by only allowing this to trigger once per year per player.

You play osu, on your birthday?
wow.

no, because why yes.
If you want supporter just buy IT.

Well, I do play osu! on my birthday, many would do but not for entire day, maybe around few hour or morning till afternoon.

And about *birthday supporter*... You know, many people don't have access to credit cards because of STRICT parents, mostly because parents who are scared of BEING SCAMMED or doesn't allow to waste money just for games, so you can't just expect players to buy supporter.

And having this would be nice demo for someone who's thinking to buy supporters.

Like the idea,
But there would have to be someway of proving its your ACTUAL Bday.
Otherwise people could change their birthday everyday and get free supporter.

I like the 'Special' colour idea.
And maybe a different colour for those who are supporters and have a birthday?

Like the idea, but I think that actual supporters get a bit left out of this because they wouldn't be getting more features.
Cool idea though!

This is also my major concern, but on the other hand, it's said it'll be to show non-sups what it's like to be supporter so they might buy it more sooner or something like that
In that case, it's actually rather nice

I think player (in their birthday date) should have a lime name on the chat, both supporter and non-supporter.

And maybe extend their supporter day by 1 day for current supporter, this would do in my opinion.

Oh wow, I didn't check this for like 1 week.

What if, the birthday supporter (think of better names maybe? :P) will only go down in time while you're currently in-game? that's what makes it a bit more special than "regular" supporter.

Or.. is that unfair?

I noticed one of the issues is that some people would rather celebrate their birthday irl on the day of their birthday. I think a good compromise would be to make 24-hour Birthday Supporter (pls someone come up with a better name) something that you get on your birthday but you can activate it at your convenience.

So for example, my birthday is July 10th. So on July 10th, I'll obtain Birthday Supporter and I have the choice to activate it whenever. Maybe I'll be busy irl for birthday stuffs on July 10th and 11th, but I'll be free to play all day on the 12th. So on the 12th, I'd activate my Birthday Supporter and it'll start a 24-hour countdown. At the end of those 24-hours, Birthday Supporter disappears.

This makes a lot of sense.

And for actual supporters, it would just add the Green/Lime NameTag, and then simply add a day to their current paid supporter status/time left.
That would work, It would be nice!

Not a bad thing, but I wonder who will be that person to not play osu! for 10 years and then log on to get 10 days of supporter.

What about an expiry date? Like 3 months or something? Or a max amount of Birthday Supporter Tokens (Idea Alert)?

Having an expiry date sounds good, but 3 months is way too long imo. I'd prefer something like a week so you're actually using it around the time of your birthday and not just waiting for a day you can be on 24 straight hours :p Would suck for someone who's away for an entire week around the time of their birthday but....meh, it's just one day of supporter anyway.

I think for someone who gets an entire freakin week on holidays because its their birthday doesn't need 'FREE' Osu! Supporter. But some people do, so maybe if its your birthday, the next time you log on for more than 5min it auto activates?

With the current settings this feature is impossible to add without abuses. And the effort to change these things for such a little feature doesn't looks profitable to me. Not a bad idea but not that great to add in osu!.

I see what you mean when you say "Without Abuses".

Well then... Guess that's the end of that.
RIP peoples stars.

There's still a way, I guess.

Lock changing birthday date once their birthday date has passed.
The only best way in my opinion.

Users these days...

This request defeats the osu! Supporter's purpose tbh. Totally agree with that quote, thanks.

I don't think that will be useful, since 24 hours is too short to enjoy all the features of supporter...

It can be Birthday Tag.

But it would be like a good demo for people who concern to buy stuffs online unless they try it.

Imagine that you walk past a french sweets stall on a street, you never tasted any french sweets and there are no free samples for you to try.

You probably won't buy it, same as well with osu!supporter, one day should be "ok" if there are no features as I said in the first page.

Not all the features or else there will be chaos about free user pages.

Nope, It can be exploited and 'Supporter' means that you're supporting osu! I don't think someone that gets it for free is a 'Supporter' Maybe if it's someone's birthday they can have a certain colour in chat.

Lol having a certain colour different from normal users/GMTs/Supporters just because of birthday is very impossible.

It can be Birthday Tag.
Actually, I should've said that. Well, there's no way I can change the title anymore now, can I?

Why would it be impossible? I don't get how irc works. Explain please >_> (Actually, maybe you can just link me to some wiki page or straight out tell me to google, I don't think we can talk about stuff like that here, unless it's not off topic?)

P.S. I'm sorry for wasting your stars.. qwq

P.P.S Um, necro bump?
DahplA
I don't agree with this personally. Even though it could be a good idea to have some sort of birthday present, I don't think supporter is the right thing. I mean, there could be a chance that less people will buy supporter or something, which could lead to less money to keep osu! running.

Good idea, but just not supporter.
Bara-
You can still edit title
Just edit OP
Also, 30 days is nowhere close near a necro-bump, that mostly applies for thread >2 years ago
Brandiz
Good idea, 24hours of supporter isn't that big of a deal. You only have one birthday per 365 days so I don't really think this is OP.

Would be nice, as long as it has something listed below.

- No userpage feature.
- No increased beatmap submission.
- No vote request.
- No skin-able main menu background.
- No change names.
- No access to early releases.

The reason of these no's?
Well, because birthday always last 24 hour, it is a bad idea to reward with these above which last for a long time.

- Colored name, which isn't bright yellow or any existing color, to differentiate from current supporters.
- Access to osu!direct.
- Ability to view specifics ranking.
- Automatic downloads when playing multiplayer, spectating others, or clicking links in chat. (likely not to be added)

Important things that needs to be aware of- Restrict the birthday editing (of course, it'll have to be decided by someone's who better than me), or else it'll be heavily abused.

Why not skinnable background? it would just be seen by them for that 24 hours. if your supporter tag runs out, you can't see anymore that custom BG menus.
Piine
To be honest at the end of the day, this would be a no. If you want one day of hopefully getting supporter, is when peppy decides on doing so which is usually on an anniversary day of osu!

Oh well, you're right, but still, I'm not sure is it ok for a one-day background? I guess majority of players would not put a background because one-day background isn't worth it.

Unless there's a background bundled with the game that activates only on birthday then it's nice to be added so.
