Thanks dja, dragon mother, MazC,and Alison's for accepting my requests. At this time my list is full and I want to say sorry to just me too and Maryanne for not accepting your request because I can't manage too many people. 

Just a random comment for consideration....

You said you can't manage too many people.....I have no idea how many friends you have, but (in my opinion) a player really needs to have at least 85 friends so there will be plenty of event rooms to visit during the events. 

The event rooms (except for the original one--The Terrace) all yield 250 coins when maxed out. You can get a bunch of coins, stamps, pet food, airship items, and excess event inventory (to convert to shards to either make room upgrades or play with Trina) during the event if you have many friends displaying an event room.........................you can visit the HOS(s) displayed in each friend's room as well as every one of your own event rooms relative to that activated event every 24-hour game day.

Many of us have our select group with whom we share gifting.....the remainder of the large number of friends are what I refer to as "use and be used" friends because we're only there to share our room with them and they with us.

Thank you for the info. It's very helpful. Right now I have limited time to play as I take care of my younger sister who is paralyzed from a stroke and she just lost her husband. I promise to help as often as I can.

I also have limited time to play, as I work fulltime. As such, I would advise you to have as many friends as you are comfortable with, and no more. Other people's friend numbers don't matter, it's what you are happy with. It simply isn't true that you have to have a specific number to progress or prosper in the game. I've never had the sort of numbers people say you 'need' to have, and yet I'm at top level, have millions of coins, plenty of diamonds and inventory etc, and playing the game perfectly fine with my lower and more manageable number of friends.

I have never had more than 50 friends, currently sitting around 40, and for me I don't believe I need more that that. I simply don't have time to do more Event HOS than that per day, therefore why have more? The game is supposed to be fun. If it becomes a chore to get through too many HOS just to get coins and a bit of inventory, then drop your friends down to where it isn't a chore, and you can easily manage it with limited time. The coins and inventory will still add up if you play regularly for whatever time you have available.

Thank you for understanding my point. Even though I'm retired I do take care of my adult disabled daughter and now also my younger sister who is paralyzed from a stroke. I too am comfortable not having a large number of friends. I make the most with what I have and I'm happy with my progress.

If you are happy with your progress in the game, then that is all that matters. The way other people play, or how they do it, matters not at all. Carry on playing as you can, and most of all, enjoy it.

It sounds like you have a lot on your plate anyway, so MC is probably an outlet, and something you can just relax with, and that is way more important than stressing about what level you are at, or how many coins you have. 

Good luck to you.

Thank you for your kind words and understanding. I do enjoy the game. To me its a pleasure, not a race.
