Talk:Emerald Dragon/@comment-4852115-20120531220346

OK, it's time to reflect. Our biggest complaint prior to this update was that we needed more habitats. BF gave us an extra Island. We requested gem dragons and BF gave us 12 dragons that produced gems. The timing of implementing it in the middle of the month may not have been ideal, but many players at level 30 wanted more to look forward to. BF continued updates and also gave us additional dragons like the Copper. I realize you are frustrated if you didn't get the Emerald. I only got one and that came the 2nd day after it came out. I've have not been able to get another. I used 150 saved gems to try to keep up. My spouse on the other hand used all her gems on previous limited dragons and used less than 5 gems for the past 2 weeks. She has 4, yes I said 4. Learned a lesson on this one. Just be patient and don't use all your gems up. The way I see it, my EBi will be tied up for the next few months until I get 12 gem dragons. May take an occasional break just to try for a new dragon. We had to know this wasn't going to be easy. Visited my 100 friends and some have up to 5 Emeralds. About 1/3 of gem island owners don't have any - 0. They have been trying relentlessly like many of you. You may not get an Emerald, but you may get 4 Pearls starting tomorrow. So don't quit playing. We all need to learn a little patience. Have fun. Don't take it so seriously. Walk away when you need to, and chill out when the game locks you down. We don't get everything in life that we want, why should this be any different. Personally, I am thankful for the challenge. With all that said, we probably have about 18 hours left, so let's try to get another one. If you are locked down with 24 and 48 hour breeding times, take a break and get ready for the Pearl. The Emerald will return next May. We'll see her again.
