So I am on step 11 now of the questline, and I've enjoyed the extra prizes! I got BPs 3 times (hmmm), goods 3 times(Yeah!) and a couple of other nice prizes.
Kudos to Inno for listening to all the griping about the Special Questlines! They waited several weeks to release it after the last one, AND they gave several days notice of when it was coming out, so that we could prepare.
Also, they gave a reasonable alternative to the "dreaded research quest."
It is human nature to complain, but I appreciate Inno listening and responding.
Now, can we have another questline, but with the rapid AND daily quests again? (Hehe)
