I decided to keep track of just how ridiculously long it took me to obtain some of the pet cards. I’ll be editing as I go along.

On Wednesday, December 2nd at 10:51 PM, I finally unlocked the door to the Golden Palace in London and rescued Hello Kitty, thus completing all available quests (aside from the pet card quests which I decided to save for last). It was a bittersweet end because I was happy to have made it so far but sad that I wouldn’t have any more storyline quests, at least until New York and Tokyo open (which I hope will be soon). Now that I’m finished with each city’s quests, I’m working on the first pet card quest and there’s definitely a reason why I (and other players) have saved those for last. It’s monotonous and just plain irritating. Not to mention the fact that the rewards simply aren’t appropriate for such time consuming tasks.

I also want to mention how proud and happy I am to be a member of the Dreamers guild. I have such awesome guildmates who love to help each other, even other players outside the guild. They’re generous, kind, helpful, and funny. Now that I’ve finished the main quests, I think I’ll focus on finishing the pet card quests, help out my fellow guildmates and any other player who needs help, and await the opening of new towns. I’m really looking forward to the Christmas events!
