General Discussion and Questions
Several players are taking a break or have boycotted the new event, complaining to G5 that a new event every month is too much so maybe, G5 are finally listening to them, and we are not getting a new event this month.
This is bizarre. I swear, it wasn't like this earlier today. 4 hours later and it's as if my game has been visited by little gremlins.
First, I go into the chat section to read a message. Whoa! The message from my friend was in a light greenish background. There's never been any "green" in my chats before!
Then I go to the "Waiting Room" tab on my Friends list to find out what the "3" up there is (probably more G5 initiated Friend invites). One is, but 2 are invites. I go to visit these wannabe friends .... a brief (you have to be quick to see it) message pops up: "visit a friend" and then you're on the friend's page. The pop-up is so quick that I can't read if there's anything else on it; but it happened with both of those friends.
So I decide to try some gifting. YIKES! What have they done? Instead of the 2 rows of items on the "freebie" and collectibles tabs, there is now only 1 row! That's gonna involve a huge amount of scrolling if you want to do some gifting that's NOT on their wish list!! It's as if they made the icons bigger, too, so you don't get near as many on the page (even with the 2 rows version gone).
Anyone else have this weirdness? Or is it perhaps some Irish leprechauns that have bailed into my computer only?
Apologies if this is already discussed. I am finding it difficult to search the wiki.
If you sort friends by Recent Interaction, what does it tell you about the friend? Does recent interaction indicate roughly when the friend gifted or visited you or when you last gifted or visited them?
For the first 9 or 10 mos after returning to the game, I gifted all friends daily and went through the list alphabetically. But, when I got closer to 300 friends, I started to realize some friends were not playing/coming back (duh) so I started to look at the Recent Interaction filter. Some players are clearly active, But, the line between active and inactive friend is not so obvious. Is it best to find stale accounts by looking at the date on the Chats page??
How do you manage this?
Any ideas or insights would be appreciated.
Several years ago I found a printable version of the list in the attached images on this site. I printed it and bound it in a pocket folder. What is it called and where is it located? I can't find it on the wiki here. It is 15 pages long.
How do I find the people who have sent me chats? I’m told I have two messages, but I can’t find who they are.
For the past 2 weeks (probably longer) I log on a few times a day to clear my sent gifts and then one time to do all my gifting. I still like the game, I log on intending to play but then after a few puzzles I just don't feel like playing.
I'd say the major thing causing the rut is that G5 has ruined GM levels by loading the scenes down with tons of useless items you don't need or want. Lighthouse and Christmas Square hardly ever drop the CI items you need to get the Jinn or Puppet amulets. It is just frustrating to the point of meaningless to play.
I log on to gift because I don't want to disappoint any of my friends and that is all on me, none of my current friends have ever had an issue with people missing a day here or there.
The Irish Pub puzzle this month has me kinda interested, but in order to play it and not spend actual money you need the entry items to play it. Ugh.
I am asking on behalf of someone else. She has 100 Atomic Cores in her Artifacts, which look like a gold key, yet when she clicks on 1 of them, it causes her game to crash. When she powers back on again, the 100 Atomic Cores are there again.
I have searched for these in the one-off quests, my Artifacts and Collections and there are none so what are these? Does anyone else have them in their Inventory?
He has deleted all but 1 friend and had asked all his friends ages ago to leave him alone. We know that he is ill and wonder if things have got worse for him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Don, if you happen to read this. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️
With the January update, all the past regular quest collection items (CIs) from August to November 2023 were allocated to the pictures.
At the moment Family Hotel only has 2 added CIs, and this picture gives us Mermaid's Crowns for +100% rewards for visiting friends for 12 hours. I've got this picture up to Grand Magister and intend to play it as much as I can to collect Mermaid Crowns.
The new picture will give us the opportunity to get the Christmas Joy Amulet, which increases the effect of each food item by +50% for 24 hours. This means that when activated and Dinners are used, each Dinner will add +15 to your baseline energy, but you must get the new picture 'Irish Pub" up to Grand Magister to be able to get them.
The picture that follows Irish Pub will give us the opportunity to get Family Fortresses for +100% rewards for visiting friends for 24 hours.
When I visited using a Mermaid's Crown for 12 hours, I visited 202 friends, as per my reputation number in less than 6 hours. Power permitting I could have gone on and visited more of my friends but would have only got 100 experience points and coins per item I charged (doubled because of the activated visiting amulet) and the occasional CI. So those 6 hours I had left were wasted.
However, with a 24 hour visiting amulet, I activate it late, say 1130 hours, visit 202 friends. Then I have until 1130 hours the next day to visit the rest of my friends, using a Gold Weight if need be. So in my opinion, I prefer the 24 hour visiting amulet and will only use the Mermaid's Crowns when I either don't have time to visit for 2 days or don't feel in the mood to do so.
So going back to the past regular quests being allocated to all the pictures, if I'm right, another update won't take place until the end of April 2024. The next 4 series of past regular quests will be December 2023 to March 2024 and these will be allocated in May 2024, if the pattern is the same. So we have until the end of April to get the March 2024 picture to Grand Magister before any crap gets added to that picture.
When or what must I do to received the crystal that doubles the the amount when I buy? Is there a picture or quest I must do to receive it? It looks like a red crystal jewel and when used it doubles the amount of crystals you can buy.
I just had a pop up from the owners of this game saying that if I wanted to be able to play this game free, I had to go into my Privacy Settings and turn on tracking.
When we had that request for a Survey sent here and also to the Facebook Group for this game that I belong to, we kept on getting bogus players posing as friends with a generic message like;
"Hello Friends, I am new here and am hoping to make some new friends!"
In the Facebook Group, most thought they were genuine and kept telling them their Player Logins but, shortly after posting this generic message, we got ads in the Facebook game to buy this stupid game where you have an online pet. I kept telling the Admins to remove them and told the so called "Friend" that they were bogus and that they were only joining the Facebook Group so that they could try and sell us their wares.
I should have screen captured this message so you can see for yourself, but what would they gain by us turning tracking on? I think we need to tread very carefully regarding this.

I was looking at my progress and then noticed the player below me with no desktop awards at all. I have a good mind to report them to G5.
Hi everyone! You may or may not remember me but I’m a long time player who is just bad at being active here :) After a massive an unexpected life change earlier in the year I went on a hiatus. It wasn’t planned but, we all know how real life can be.
Since returning a couple of days ago, I noticed that I can’t unlock some or all of the new photos that were released in my absence. This is new to me as I haven’t had to level up to unlock photos in years. It seems like leveling up in this game is extremely slow though.
Has the pace that we level up been adjusted in the game at all, in the past year? Also, is it possible to get more than 7 Frosty Deer at a time for the current Christmas photo? I’m not sure I can get to Academician level before the end of the event if not lol
I'm trying to help a friend whose avatar said she has 1000 friends, but her Profile says that she has 931 friends so she needs to trace those 69 friends from other G5 games and delete them
I briefly played Mahjong Journey, but never got any friends for this game, and only ever had friends in Secret Society.
As you know I keep a meticulous record of all my friends but no one else does so how can she trace those 69 friends. Surely if you uninstalled a game, if there were any friends in that game, they would be deleted when the game was installed? That said, I uninstalled Mahjong Journey shortly after I downloaded it, but it still says that I play this game.
Any ideas please?
OK, for starters, I admit it ... I do NOT "do" the Requests thing. So I let them sit there at the (supposedly) "magic" number of 50. This evening I log on and, by golly, they've dropped down to 49. Hmmm, I must have lost a friend that had also sent me a Request. No problem. So I'm sitting here, playing the game for a while, decide it's bedtime but first I'll empty my giftbox. WHAT THE HEY?!?!? I get my gifts, but now my Requests box says there are 51 in there! Anybody else notice an increase in their Requests? Now, if they'd balance it with an equal number of allowable GIFTS, then maybe I'd shut my mouth and deal with it ... but that doesn't appear to be so.
Is the drop level of special items significantly lower this time around. Typically the higher level pictures used to drop a minimum of 8 per play but this I'm seeing 6-7 per play. Even with a talisman.
Yesterday I was tired and was trying to shut down my computer. I closed out of SSHM and there on the screen was a link to g5e's newest game. I clicked on it thinking I would just right-click and delete it. Nope, it installed and g5e locks you out of being able to interrupt or cancel the install. You have to let it run its journey and then you can delete it.
Welp, this morning I woke up to a very polite in-game message from a player in my FL: "please don't send me game invites." I responded with a "no problem. I didn't send the invite." I've done another post on the wiki about how these invites are a marketing ploy by g5e. But there is more to it than that.
According to g5e's terms of service (TOS), which we have to agree to when installing the any of the games, whether it is one game or 20 games, and launcher:
"6. When you register with G5 and/or this Site, the Services and/or any Game, you expressly consent to receive any notices, announcements, agreements, disclosures, reports, documents, communications concerning new products or services, or other records or correspondence from G5. You consent to receive notices electronically by way of transmitting the notice to you by email."
In other words, the players that are complaining about the invites have agreed to receive them. I personally find these invites to be deceptive. They are composed in such a way as to mislead the receiving player into thinking that I purposely sent the invite. I did not.
I believe this question will probably be directed to Nugu54/Julia, but I thought I had originally printed it out from somewhere on the WIKI. Am looking for the "ALPHABETICAL LIST OF PICTURES: LISTING EVENT AND REGULAR QUEST ARTIFACTS CONNECTED WITH THEM." It contained 3 columns: (1) Artifact; (2) What it Awards; and (3) Collections & Level ..... along with the notice: "Takes some time to load, but now includes what the Artifacts award. Once "Expand" is underlined, WAIT."
The most recent version I made a print-out of was in March 2023, and included the Herbalist's Lab.
Is this listing still available... and has it been updated? And, more importantly, where do I find it?
Thanks!
