I wasn't even "targetting" you in particular, because several people have moaned over the fact that a GA is needed. And it certainly didn't occur to me that you were sad only because you were unaware of the facts I stated, you in no way hinted at that. But, there you go - if ever you feel you want that extra pet, go buy just a Week-GA fromn a user.

Yes,I got a free GA for being a player for over a year but I never got any other GAs or wasn't on to enjoy the time Subeta gifted them for several days. I don't see why someone thinks its bad, or has to label people in an ugly way, because a person thinks its unfair they need to have a GA for an extra pet slot. Yes, I have been on Subeta for over a year but I don't know all the details about extra pet slots and GAs. You think everyone knows exactly how an extra slot works?
I don't go researching how to get an extra slot or GA because they never crossed my mind, but offer a free slot and hell yeah I'll try to get it. There was no conditions on getting a pet slot and pardon me for not knowing everything there is to know about features on Subeta. Guess I'm ungrateful, discontent, and greedy because I wasn't aware of how it works. Hell, I didn't even know you could buy a GA with sp. Maybe just informing a person on ways to get the GA (which you did do) instead of putting them down by labeling them unthankful, discontent, and greedy, is a better way to get things across. Its a good idea to try not to undermine people just because they don't know everything.

Sorry, no idea, what happened...
I don't understand, how people can so ungratefully lament that a GA is needed to activate that extra Pet Slot. It's always been that way, that from pet 6 on a GA was necessary. If you want an extra pet, a GA simply is precondition, no matter if you have to pay or are presented the slot for free. We have been given so many weekly/monthly GAs for free over the years (free shop, apologies,...). Just recently ALL people were turned GA for several days to make up for down time and lag.
So probably simply wait, until free GA time happens again? And GAs are purchasable with sP. Just be thankful that you only have to take care of the GA part and not pay for the slot if you want an extra pet that badly.
All those laments equal unthankfulness, discontent and greed.
What's up next? Avarice, because GAs contributed 15 instead of 10 quets per NPC, some did ALL of the daily possible quests, some only a few, others started early on while other free riders only do some quests now, that the goal has already been achieved?

If i have to have a GA to get the pet slot I really don't think that's fair. I got lucky and was given a GA so i currently have 10/5 pet slots but i worked hard to get that pet slot doing a lot of quests everyday. From what I'm reading others post (don't know if they are correct) but seems like we need to have a GA for the extra slot, which wasn't mentioned in the first place and I'm sure i'm not the only non GA user out there. But it isn't fair to users who don't have money to spend on a game...if its true

To everyone wondering about pet slots:
Pet Slots 9/14
Your pet slots are always there even if you cannot or dont want to use them. When the extra slot is given out if you have not used a plushie or bought another slot your slot will say 5/6 but you wont be able to have more than 5 pets until you have a ga. With a GA you will always have 5 more slots so if you purchase a GA to use that slot you will not only be able to fill your free slot but will also be able to create 5 other pets (if you havent already) And i personally buy csc every few weeks to buy a GA, purchase items from the hustler and of course buy the new collections. I am waiting for the new card to come out before i buy more csc cause otherwise it will be a waste of time/money xD Gold accounts cost ~$5 us so that is cheaper than most things i purchase on a day to day basis. I used to spend more than that on chocolate xD

I'm so glad to see the counter still going, I wanted to see how much we could do. Though it seems it's slowed down since we hit the goal. :(
I figured we could do it, just not that it would be so soon!

I'm sorry if this has been covered already (there's so many comments!) but if I choose to wait a while to get a GA, will I still be able to get the extra pet slot later on? Or do I need to have the GA already activated when they give us the pet slot?

Haha, I was done early questing yesterday, but I knew we would hit the 500,000 soon enough! Great work everybody!

I quested Carl, Cynthia, Cursed, Wizard, Quentin, Malaria, Sagittarius, Library and Pete. All the people that give quest points everyday until today. Can I skip the rest of the quests today? I have done Quentin and Carl and started some others. I had to babysit my grandchildren at their home and I cannot play Subeta on an IPad. If I must do them today to qualify I will. Please ping meif I need to.

@Luthien I'm using Firefox for the moment and there's no rainbow even when I hover. I wish they'd bring the rainbow bar back and not have it hoverable :/

@SONDER yes, it'd be the same thing if you open a Loyalty Box or buy a pet slot. If you have 10 pets and you're not GA user, you need to activate GA to use the slot.

For people wondering about the rainbow bar mentioned, it was automatic before. They changed it so you have to hover to get the rainbow. c:

So, will we need to activate a gold account to get the new pet slot? (assuming we have over 10 pets with the GA of course)

more pet slots for my cash money is always a good thing. otherwise, what will happen to my cash money
it will probably be invested in bad things like candy and ice cream
think of my teeth
plus i said that i would stop complaining for X months if X = new CSC pet slots we get. that's a total promise there

OMG!!! I honestly didn't think we'd pull it off at first but I am soooo happy that I was wrong :) I am very proud of us for coming together & helping each other get that extra pet slot :') If it wasn't for each other we wouldn't have been able to reach the 500,000...Well, at least I know I wouldn't have been able to alone. Yay for Subeta family & team work!!

Rainbow? I don't see a rainbow either, just a green bar. Glad we made it though. Toughest part will be trying to decide what to use the extra slot for. Will probably hold mine until a new pet or color comes out I want.

I'm probably the only one who didn't appreciate the rainbow flashing bar. It makes me really nauseous looking at it even for a few seconds, so I had to block it. :(

That's true. Maybe we would still be able to make it, but not easily in my opinion. We'd have to make an average of 143k per day, and I think we made around that. But that was also over the weekend when we average more no matter what, and without testing over the weekdays how much we average the numbers may change enough that it wouldn't be possible. I don't believe we'll have enough people continuing the same amount of quests to keep track now, though.
I am 100% down to do something like this again to test things out !

Where are people getting 4 1/2 days for this? We started at midnight between Thursay-Friday right? So Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and it's (a little over) halfway through Monday ? 3 1/2 days ?
Still though, I'm not sure we could do 1m. I know if we hadn't moved this fast I would have put in more effort to quest over the weekend and I didn't. Now that I actually have time to quest, I don't need to :P

I'm really glad this wasn't a one-million-quest-a-thon. We wouldn't have made it, sorry to those saying we would have easily done it, but no.
It took us an hour more than 4 1/2 days for 500k. Double that. That would be 9 days, 2 hours for 1m. Maybe over an extended weekend when more people would be online to keep up the same pace, but not with the slowed down weekdays.

I'll still quest like crazy until Thursday...in part because of the gold acct token, haha, but in part because I want to see how high we can get! And also 'cause quest points and monies. And achievements. There are several reasons.

That's possible, I know the counter did not refresh at the top of the minute, it usually refreshed between :25 and :35 of the minute.
All of these numbers were gotten at top of the minute (so 14:53 was gotten at 14:53:00 but the number has been there since maybe 14:52:35)
THE METHODOLOGY IS OFF BY LIKE 1-2 MINUTES, idk, I was just so excited.
I also have the time where we hit halfpoint somewhere in the general thread
