In MC, there were several quests to get objects out of the Bow Figurine.  These were mammoth quests, requiring you to play 281 HO scenes and craft 21 objects.  To craft them required over 30,000 coins.  You could not do this quest in a day or two. 

If you played day and night with no breaks, it would take 38 hours to finish one such quest (HO scenes take up to an hour to recharge) assuming that you started off with nothing needed in your inventory, you didn't win anything needed on the Fortune Wheel, your friends never gifted you any thing needed. 

However, people who had already completed these quests were VERY generous and ran contests to give away expensively crafted objects which eliminated the need to play so many HO scenes.  The people who were complaining about this quest and saying they were quitting didn't even bother to enter.  I won an object which eliminated the entire quest because I was the only person who entered and the other two objects went unclaimed!

People just complained and complained, both in the forum and on Facebook, and people were leaving the game before they got anywhere near having to do theese quests thanks to the scaremongering.  So the quest was reduced to 6 HO scenes which could be completed in 2 hours max.

I was almost finished with one quest and probably had spent about 25,000 coins crafting things to use when the change was applied.  So now my one game has an inventory full of objects that aren't needed, but sell for about 20% of what I spent crafting them.  It will take me 25 hours of playing time to get that cash back.

I doubt the developers will ever add any complex quests to the game in the future.  People may say they want more difficult puzzles and tasks, but the MC experience has shown that most people want something that doesn't take much time and effort before the game hands out an "Attaboy!  Way to go!" pat on the back.

I've just posted a full review of Forgotten Books: The Enchanted Crown CE in my review thread.  I won't post my recommendation or rating here as I know a few others got the CE as well this week in the sale and I don't want to spoil anything for them. 

I'd recommend that anyone who has the CE doesn't look at my review before playing it.
 

Stuesue, many thanks for your detailed reviews

Stuesue, many thanks for the info about the GCC:S  I didn´t even think about trying!
I got Evy  - Magic Spheres with my April coupon because the ones I wanted were PE:S.
I´m thinking of using the May one right now 

Well, obviously I hadn't thought of it until this week, either!    My problem is that there aren't any PEs I want.  Most of their PEs I already have from BFG - either CE or SE - and any that I have as an SE I'll just play the CE at GameHouse.  However, GH has the PE of Lost Souls - Enchanted Paintings so I imagine they'll be getting the PE of Lost Souls - Timeless Fables as well, so all I have to do is wait and I can get the PE with one of my coupons - it doesn' t matter which one!    Or just play it with my FunPass and use my coupons for games that I want to keep, like M3s or TMs, which are the ones I'm more likely to play again.

I got Evy - Magic Spheres as soon as it was released and I actually played it straight through, which says a lot about a bubble shooter game!  It's my fav bubble shooter game ever as it doesn't take speed but rather strategy to play.  You can take as long as you like to make a move.
