Hi Opal. Yes, it seems more are getting subscriptions and I don't have a problem with that since MyT has provided them as a tool you can take advantage of. My question is more about if someone's achievement will be perceived differently when they use an XP subscription. Since it is possible to earn 5x XP (maybe more?)when using talismen along with the subscription then someone is now able to level up 5 times faster.

People have always progressed at different rates. Some folks time travel and obtain extra goodies. Some have time traveling friends that give them extra access passes. Some have lots of great friends. Some have no friends. Some have a double XP subscription. Some spend a lot of money buying things while some spend little to nothing. Some folks have much more free time to spend in the game than others. All of these and more can have an impact on how fast your game progresses but I think the double XP factor has to have the greatest impact.

Howard- I only meant skew as far as how someone's rank is viewed. Will we start looking at the leaderboard and think "well so and so is in first place but only because of her XP subscription! She should really be in 4th".

I heartily agree with what you said "I much admire players whose maps reveal a breadth of play and experience — all black or nearly all red." I just wonder if new players with double experience will have a map that looks like they have been playing by the time they hit 400. As fast as the events have been coming they would hardly need to open more than 20 rooms but their experience will just keep climbing making them seem more experienced than they are. In the end it doesn't matter as this is a game not a contest.

I wondered what happens when you hit magister. Does it get to 100% and start over or does it just keep going up, like to your 600%? I am at magister at one location but only around 10% so I wouldnt know for a long time unless I ask.

I have a key to candy land but because of everything I have read on the forum and of course, that darn yellow crime scene tape, I haven't used it yet!
