Quest-A-Thon: 1mil done, time for a new goal!
If the community gets to 2,000,000 quests completed by 11:59pm on Friday September 4, we will add in two additional prizes for everyone who participated. What are those prizes? The elusive Fashion Hoodie and 5 referral points! If the 2,000,000 goal isn't completed, everyone will still get the original prizes: 1 pet slot, *sparkles* forum title, and the blue avatar border (and the gold if you're in the top 100).
Happy questing. <3

I totally got boned when they extended the event a week and missed half of my quests for two days ;u; i'm glad there's loser rewards

I said I wasn't going to do them all. I said I was only going to do them all until the goals were met, then maybe do Saggi and Wizard daily. I did them all anyways, including the 1 bonus wizard quest I got. -sigh- Congrats and nice work to all who participated!
I'm glad it's over though.

I missed an entire day of questing OTL
I hope I can still make top 100 by completing all the other days. Fingers crossed!

Hurricane Laura killed my chances. Just got power back today. but I will still do my quest for the last few days left. :)

And we've smashed the 2 mill target as well! I have a feeling we're going to get to 3 mill before the quest-a-thon is over :D

Phew! Thankfully this event continues, would have missed out.
Done all my daqily quests today, may not make it to top 100, but still something.

This has probably been mentioned somewhere, but with tons of comments... @Amber does the top 100 count only for the first 1,000,000 quests or does it also apply to the extended goal? I somehow overlooked Maleria's Quests yesterday (was half asleep when questing) and was just wondering. :blush:

GOOD LORD, YOU GUYS, just 45k quests to go and more than three days left, y'all are KILLING IT.

giggles...... so ok when we get the 2mill will you be planning 3 mill? (currently 1.9) Seriously putting the top 100 incentive has made this crazy (I had no hope but gold sparkles *adhd sighs*)

You get a notification when your gold account is three days from expiring. Why not have something similar for trades? And when you're trying to create a new set in the Armory, you should be able to filter the items by things like tier, defense, and attack.

I don't think its a big deal we get another hoodie, it just obviously isn't much of an incentive for those that already have it to want to do the quests after the first goal is hit, which is also fine, people don't need to or have to do it just to get others the hoodie, even if its just a nice thought. There are a lot of people saying you should do it and why not do it and maybe some just don't want to when there isn't incentive for them after the first goal was alreasy cleared (as I already blabbed) there are plenty who are and will π Just do what you can and want to people, you've already done great.

Y'all know that the hoodie is basically a free item you can get from doing just one quest, right? If you don't want it on your account, just delete the item, and you will have lost nothing of substance.

That was the post I meant... Guess I'm also guilty of not reading closely!! XD I'd go back and delete my post if I could, just to not spread misinformation. (If someone on staff wants to do that and is able, please do. Or at least delete the text and leave the kitty gif)

Agree with @Ziorac. What a great idea with the tiers for bonus effort with prizes. Would be like other achievement prizes. Maybe for next year? :)

Hi Amber! I am trying my best to help out on the quests, but I don’t think that I can make my goal, because I started late.

JackyMedan
@Rakumel I don't think she said anything about it becoming not account bound anymore.. just that you would also be able to put it in more places within your account, like in a pet TC:

that's the only comment I'd seen made by amber about the subject (besides 1 other where she says you'll be swimming in hoodies if you already had one before)
Amber @ 08/28/20 1:07 am STAFF
For the hoodie - I'm going to be working with Bug to see about making it anywhere on your account like pet treasure instead of just wardrobe/inventory/vault.

Rakumel
Heeeeeeeey! Just posting this to let people know that there's a comment by Amber below where she says she's working with Bug to see about making the hoodie not account bound anymore. Some of y'all might want to take a few minutes to skim the comments to make sure your question hasn't already been answered, or your concern addressed.
Having said that, making it transformable would be cool. I'm not going to demand it, just saying I like the idea.
7
JackyMedan
@Burton yes :) everything except for the golden avatar border, that is.. since you probably missed too many quests already to get in the top 100, but if you start doing quests now you will get all the other prizes.

I haven't been able to access the internet much at all. If I participate now will I still be able to access the prizes?

The fact that we blew through this goal so quickly just shows that there were a lot of people during previous QaTs who did a bare minimum and are now enticed by the 'first 100 places only' prize to put in some effort.
Not saying that's a bad thing, just that it's very clear that individual goals provide a far greater incentive than 'everyone gets the same thing regardless of effort'. At the same time, making it ranked forces people to work far harder than they might want to.
Maybe in the future, rather than a ranking, there can be a general overall award for any amount of effort and also a 'if you do (certain amount) quests you get (bonus prize).' This way users aren't competing until the very last moment at the detriment of other obligations, but they can plan out to do, say, 1000 quests over the course of the QaT? You could have various tiers even... Might be too much work though. Still, to add a competition factor to what is supposed to be a community event feels off. People will always be annoyed when they miss out, while if there are tiers, they know exactly what they're working for and missing out can only be blamed on themselves (provided the site doesn't crash and burn).
I dunno, just some observations and suggestions.

This is awesome! I think 5 referral points is a wonderful extra prize and I already have the Fashion Hoodie too, but so what? Aren't we here to have fun? And look at how fast we're approaching the 2 million mark already! Everything that's awarded in a contest such as this one is over and above the basic benefits of doing quests to begin with, so why complain??? I think @julian summed it up nicely in their comment. It's sad that some people don't understand how to behave in a social forum.

Sopheroo
If you already have the hoodie, well, you can just go and enjoy the other rewards - a pet slot, plus 5 referral points, plus a new title, plus at least one avatar border (if not two). That's already a lot for an event that requires doing a minimum of one (1) quest.
We suggested that reward to be rereleased because
1) a lot of people missed on it in 2018
2) it was originally released via quest-a-thon

Oof, there are some REALLY entitled people in the comments. I don't need a second hoodie either but I don't mind if I get one. You won't always like every single item that gets released and that's fine, but it's nothing to complain about or be rude over. Demanding or asking for more items just because you're not excited about the prizes is really entitled.
Anyway, excited to see how quickly we reach 2 mil! My bet is we'll reach it on Tuesday. :p

If the hoodie could be placed in treasure that would be great! It looks rainbow-y enough that it could fit in with my rainbow collection tc. ^^

I'm with the others on the hoodie. Could it maybe be made into a transformable item with different colors and designs, or be able to be transformed into pants that match the hoodie possibly?
10
Chef
@nubby, if you complete 1 quest, you'll get the rewards. The only reward that not everyone who does at least 1 quest will get is the gold avatar border, which only the top 100 participants will get. (Top 100 being that if 500 people complete the same amount of Quests, then they will all tie for first place and there will be 99 places left....if that makes sense)

Terra
I going to have to agree with the others; I'm glad people that didn't get a hoodie the first time have a chance at it now, but what on earth am I going to do with a second one?

I am very grateful for the additional prizes, however, I agree with other people where I would prefer to be able to give away my second hoodie to someone who wasn't able to participate.

Is there a minimum amount of quests needed per user to be considered a participant and be rewarded the prizes?

Fashion Hoodie is fraggable. Though I am sure they are going to make it so you can put it in a tc or something like that so it's not just vault or in your inventory.

capper09
many of us already have the hoodie and you can't do anything with it except delete it, why can't we give it away to people who couldn't participate? it doesn't have to be a selling option, but deleting it hurts the soul ... alternatively, you could have given a suitable piece of clothing, a pair of trousers for example ...

omg_carrie
Great job everyone!
I'd like to know what people who already have a hoodie can do, too... I don't really need a second one, but it'd be a shame to delete it...

Awesome job everyone! I did not get to quest as much as I had hoped to but I am hoping I can quest more now. Those referral points would be really helpful for some of the stickers I need from the referal shop!

I'm happy that people who missed out on the original hoodie are getting a chance to have one! Having two copies of the hoodie doesn't really bother me at all (and if it did I'd just delete the second copy tbh since it's one of the other options besides wardrobe & vaulting). Those referral points though! I really hope we make this second goal!

Beowulf
I'm fine getting a second hoodie. But it would be awesome if it could be a transformable item that goes from the original to a recolor or something like that. I dont know how doable it is, but it would be cool. I'm quite excited about the referral points tho!

Austria
What is the point of having another hoodie if we already have one and we can't get rid of it? I'll occasionally wear the one I have, but a second one would just go in my vault and sit there. I would happily donate the second hoodie (if we get it) to anyone who didn't already have one. Is there no way to change the second one so it can be made giftable/sellable, or tell who already has one?

So does this mean the hoodie will no longer be account bound? I already have one from the last Quest A Thon....

@MsBehavin there isn't really a first and a second round, just a single round which will end after 4 September in which we originally had to finish 1 million quests, but we finished wayyy early against expectations.. so they doubled the goal to get additional prizes, but to get the golden border you were gonna have to keep questing every day until the end of the event anyway to try and get in the top 100 even if they hadn't added the bonus goal.

Sweet. Can the hoodie be made giftable instead of only account bound this time? I know some folks who weren't able to participate who could use it more than me. Yay for a chance at 5 referral points!

Can someone please clarify something for me please? Ok so I only missed 5 quests the first round which I am pretty sure puts me in the top 100 however with the new extension to the Quest-a-Thon will I stll get the avatar border that I worked so hard to earn? Or do I have to continue to work my butt off questing to retain my spot? I have a busy week ahead of me at work and will very likely not be able to quest nearly as much. So just wondering how that is going to work!

Awesome that there is a new goal, and new prized. However, like others, I already have the hoodie, and would prefer a different prize option, but - it is what it is - if I get another hoodie, it'll go into my vault with the other useless item for me :P

Sneaky
I assumed the the hoodie would only be given to those who didn't already have it. I'm not sure if it would fit with any of my pet's treasures if I were to get another one. I like the transforming option as some people have suggested, but I don't know how long it takes artists to draw things, even if they are just recolours.
Maybe there could be the option to turn it into something like CSC or more Referral Points or something?

I don't want to sound negative but the Fashion Hoodie is account bound and most who were around in 2018 got it...
A re-colour would be nice. I heard Holo is back in.

oh, I know - what if you make the hoodie transformable into a recolor of it (reversible hoodie?) that way people with one copy can get either, and people with two copies can put both in the wardrobe?

We shouldn't be ungrateful. We are not entitled to prizes in addition. I mean, of course a girl can always dream... :-( But it's a nice move, to offer something else, like people have asked for. And I'm happy for Referral Points, because I need many copies of the books.
Loyalty points would rock as well...
Making the hoody more useful on account than wardrobe/invy/vault is a valid requirement, though. Because what good is a second copy rotting in the vault. Maybe it becomes more useful that way. Actually it's a pretty item... Many users have stated, they would want one, so it's good they get the chance to own one now as well.
@Camilla
Even a prize pool wouldn't guarantee anything you desire.
Or even worse: Hold more items you would aspire but then can't have.

I'm sorry for asking, haven't read through all of it yet, but: What am I supposed to do with a second (accountbound) Fashion Hoodie? That thing will just collect dust somewhere on my account for all eternity :/
16
Camilla
This copy of the hoodie will be just as pointless to me as the first one I got. I haven't made a modern avatar in several years and have no plans on doing it ever again because I don't enjoy making them. And I have no pet that uses hoodies (and won't be making one) so it would never fit in any of the tcs.
And the referral points? Meh.
In other words, I'm glad that we're getting the pet slot because otherwise there wouldn't be a single prize of interest to me. Which is why I'm concerned about the fact that in future quest-a-thons there may not always be a pet slot as a prize... I'm really starting to think that being able to pick the prize(s) you want from a prize pool would be better and give a better incentive. Kinda like how the Loyalty Boxes work would be great, honestly.
