Just as a side note, I sometimes play Tiny Monsters while I wait for those long inc times in DV, and it has given me a little insight to how newer players to DV must feel (I myself started playing DV in October).

For example, I'm at level 17 in TM, and there are SOOOOO many monsters to try to breed (with hybrids, much like in DV), that it really is overwhelming! I kind of don't know where to begin, so I just randomly throw monsters into the breeding cave sometimes. And just when I've gotten a handle on which ones I have vs don't have, what kinds of combos produce what, and what I'd like to try for next, wham, I've leveled up, and there's a whole new element class of monsters thrown into the brew! Not that it's a bad thing,but it DOES get confusing,esp when TM isn't was well organized as DV, so you can't click on an element icon in the market to sort out what kind of monsters you want to look at! (for example, if you JUST want to see all the water dragons in DV, you go to the market menu and click the water icon - but you can't do that in TM).

Another thing is, I used to look at friends' islands and wonder, "why in the world don't they feed up their dragons some more instead of stockpiling all those dragon treats?!" when I saw that they had like 20-some thousand treats in their stores. Now I get that when there are so many dragons to try & breed, feeding up the ones you have becomes less of a priority - you just grow & collect your treats, but actually feeding up the drags as far as possible doesn't always get done. You're more focused on the breeding than the feeding at this stage.

So anyway, having played TM as a "newbie" vs starting when the game was new, I now have a better understanding of my fellow DV players who've started a little later in the game! :D I don't know if this is interesting to anyone besides myself, but I always find it fascinating to look at things thru new perspectives. :) Happy trails, all!
