Quest-A-Thon Coming Soon!
How would you like a new pet slot to extend your pet family without spending CSC? Well, here is your chance!
Starting tonight, Friday the 17th, at 12:00am until Thursday the 23rd at 11:59pm we will be having a site wide Quest-A-Thon! What does this entail exactly?
You will be working with your fellow users to get 500,000 quests completed during the week. You will need to complete quests from the following quest givers to have them count: Carl, Cinthia, Mori and Nori, Alexander, Maleria, Pete, Quentin, Saggitarius, Allard and of course me. Remember that regular users can complete 10 quests per quest giver while Gold Account users can complete 15 quests.
Everyone will be able to see how many quests have been completed by checking out the news where we will have a progress bar. If the goal gets completed, everyone that has participated will receive 1 new pet slot and the forum title of is forever on a quest for more pets. So make sure to get your friends online and cheer them on to complete their quests every day so everyone can get a slot! You might spot an NPC or two posting around the forums encouraging you to complete quests, too.
Remember that the goal is 500,000 completed quests. We won't be rewarding you with another pet slot if you manage a million quests, though we'll be incredibly impressed!

I haven't done quests since my last GA medal ran out like two months ago but as of tonight, I WILL BE CREDIT TO TEAM.
HELL YES, I AM SO IN, LET'S DO THIS THING!!
Also, I second a few of the suggestions here, for example Sarah's Quests, can we please be able to do them even if we have too much sP to normally do them?
And the inflation problem; I agree with increasing or removing the vending limit for this week to help us cope.
This will be hella fun either way. xD

Of course this is after I use two loyalty boxes on pet slots AND miss adopting a pet named Will Graham from the pound XD Oh well. Still fun.

Someone did the math and it was somewhere between 710 and 560 people needing to do all possible quests they can for a week to reach the goal. Round about there.
Also Keith said they already track amount of quests done and that 500k isn't that much more than is already done in a week.
So it all shouldn't be so bad. I think they set a very realistic goal for us. I think they just want to give us all a free pet slot. ;)

Sweet! I just got back from vacation, and I saw this, so this's DEFINITELY be something I'll be doing! :D

Sadly can't edit news comments, it sucks.
Well all of the users are spread out throughout the day.
So it's hard to say how many users on average get on a day because as far as I know, the user doesn't have access to that information, just how many are on at one time.
I don't actually think reaching the goal will be tough. They probably picked a number that we already reach on a regular basis, or one that could easily be achieved with a bit of extra effort. They didn't just randomly pick a number (I hope...)

Ah, so there are more than the roughly 1000 some users the counter showed as consistently online during the last big event (the Vesnali holiday)? It seems like a close shave if there's only about that many users for Subeta that are active, but if there are more than that, maybe not so much. It definitely didn't occur to me that of course we're not going to see a total, just online users. Shrugs.
Also, I can't seem to edit previous posts, so sorry for any weird sentences in it (like that quests part... I meant buying quest items, lol). AH well, My mistakes bared for eternity!

"This is a terrible idea. I can't believe they would take user feedback and suggestions and implement it, just because there are a bunch of valid arguments and it's a great way to build community and work together."

More seriously though, like I said before in a suggestion thread for this, while I don't really WANT another pet slot, I'll be very excited to participate and help those who are dying for one to achieve their goal :). Aaaaaaaand I guuuuueeeess since I'm battle-addicted having juuuust ooone mooore pet wouldn't be toooooooo expensive to train... riiiiiiight?

This is a cool idea in theory!
However: it's pretty much asking for every single active user (anywhere from 700+ to 900+ right?) to participate faithfully for the whole week. That's a whole lot of users, and a big expectation to place on that, with the reward tied solely to participation by the whole.
Also, the economy's been pretty effed for a while, but the past week has been particularly bad (due to the latest in a long string of restock-related fiascos), and it'll take time for things like buying quests to even out on cost ratios again because of the hit everyone took who relied on restocking and profits from that for their income + things not necessarily restocking reliably in NPC shops.
I'm just kind of concerned that this is asking a lot, and doing it right on the cusp of another setback on restocking tweaks. :(
That said--I plan to participate.
Good luck to everyone and I hope we manage the 500,000 goal.

I was just regretting my decision yesterday to use my latest loyalty box for a GA instead of another pet slot. Not regretting so much now. W00t! Hope I can contribute daily. ^^
Shame that I don't want more pets. wish you had given us options regarding the prize.
well we'll try our best anyway :)

SUBETA YOU'RE AWESOME. I've been needing motivation to get back into quests and earn sP and this will definitely do the trick!!
"You are using 12 of your 7 pet slots." So I guess that means this won't really affect me. I might be in just for the challenge, though, anyway.
Maybe if it was an item I could sell. I don't really need the extra slot, I barely look at my pets as it is, i'm more here for the social activity
I agree with Lea! I love that we're all working together for something like this. Sounds like a fun challenge! :D
Also I am SO glad that this isn't competitive!! The idea of the whole community working together is really exciting, it feels like usually things are divided up unless it's battle events (and even then there's still an element of competition to those.) I love that I've already seen people say that they're uninterested in new pet slots but want to help out nonetheless! I'm so excited aaaaa
Hello .. I have a Question on GA .. I have a week GA If i use it at midnight the 17th will it expire at midnight the the 23rd or will it expire later on the 23rd ... Hope I said this right and Thankie so much .. huggles Nanny
Woo! GO! GO!!
So 500k/7 days~=~71kish quests/day
say 1 in 5 participants have gold accounts (4×10+15)/5=11 quests per NPC×8to10npcs~=~100 quests per person per day
71K/100~=~710ish people need to join in everyday!
Is that even close? Can I math today? Lol

If no one can do Carl's Ouest and don't have a GA, we need 893 people. Currently Online: 997 :P
Question: If we're able to finish 500k quests will the pet slot automatically activated for you, or can you use it whenever you want?
free pet slot? cool!!!
so only those who participate get a free pet slot? is one quest enough to qualify for the pet slot?
[too many comments to read through them all while i have to complete a task]

So.... is this the summer event that's been teased or is this something completely different?
Looks like time to start doing my quests again, lol. Not that I personally need pet slots, but this sounds like fun :]
I would love to have a Zapper pet with a unisex name that would eventually would become a Nightmare Fester. I can do all quests, but Carl because no profit on Carl, but I can still do that to win a pet slot. I do not mind losing a little bit of money for this reward. However Sarah does not allow me to do her quests. I have too much money. The rest I can co. That is if my back quits hurting. I pulled muscles in it and had a fall. Yay me. I am falling apart. Thanks, @Amber.
