Questions & tips, I'm a new RF player Options

[Rui L'cie]

I just bought the game few days ago, and I still wasn't sure how the game works. I hope someone could help me by answering these questions and would be better if you could give me some tips

1. Why when I gave someone's present during their birthday they never say thank you or mention anything about birthday? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/weirdsmile.gif)
2. I've done all the quests on the board, and there's no new quest posted there, so what should I do?
3. How do I get through the statues in those areas (do you call them mine?)

thank you :)

Urm, more questions if you dont mind..
- Is there any calendar on the game where we can refer? ( somehow I cant find them)
- Whats the difference between sleeping in one bed with the double bed?
- Which plant(of each season) is the most profitable? I've monetary problems.. the pricing in this game is so expensive and I need money to build the barn.
