Hi there. I've been playing this game for awhile now, but have never posted here before. My main reason for posting is to ask for some help. I really like the current event avatars and would like to snag them, but I've never managed to get avatars before. If I work really hard, I'm able to finish all the event quests but have never reached Virtuoso level. Yet, I see friends that have the avatars only a day or two after an event starts. What's the secret that I'm missing? Or is it simply that my friends are tossing a few hundred dollars into Mytona's coffers?

A little about me: - I've been playing for a few years. The Antique Shop was the event room when I started.

- However, I've taken long breaks from the game so I don't have every room unlocked and I'm only level 89 so it will be awhile before I unlock them. (I've seen folks talk here about "Candyworld" and I'm kinda glad I don't have that unlocked. LOL)

- I'm a casual player but not too casual. I don't think I qualify for the "hard-core" title though. I play probably 5 or 6 days a week and I try to send the free gifts to friends each day that I play. I don't "time travel" and I don't do a lot of visiting.

- I don't mind tossing a few bucks a month to a game I really enjoy, but I won't be spending hundreds each month like some hard-core players will.

Things I love about the game - It's unique. If you search for puzzle games in the app store, you'll find 23,453,899 match 3 puzzle games and almost as many Solitaire and Pop-the-bubble apps.

- I've tried other find-the-hidden-object games, but they are either single player or only go a little ways before asking you to pay for the game to continue. This game is totally free with optional purchases.

- Artwork is beautiful and I enjoy the story.

- Difficulty level is "just right". Some rooms are a challenge and others are easy and the "cheat" items like the lightning bottle are fairly easy to obtain without spending real money.

Things that could use improvement - A gazillion "buy this now pop-ups"

- Needs better ingame communication options. A way to know which access passes your friends need most. A way to know which of your friends still play. Maybe a "last played date" on their home page when you visit them? Currently I determine if someone is inactive by seeing if the current event room is locked 20 days after the event started.

- I can only gift 71 friends. Either let me send gifts to every friend or limit the # of friends I can have to 71.

- Treasure Box. Yick! If i wanted to play a match-3, I'd play a match-3 game. However I know lots of other players love them so my only rant here is with all those events that focus on Haunted Lights and Treasure Box. Instead, please include Mosaic and the Card flipping game. I love those and rarely get to play them with the quests.

- Guilds are "Coming Soon". I'd love to know what MyTona thinks the definition of "soon" is!!
