After 1 Month and 16 Days of Marapets : Getting to Know the Players

So somehow, simply by selling stuff, I managed to get 13 million recently, only for me to collect stamps and glowing eggs, until I had around 10 million. Then I earned more in the shop for 11.9 million again.

It's Marapet's birthday, and for this event, I was told to go to different players' accounts to click on the invite button for them. Through this, I was able to get to know all types of players for the first time. I took time to study the different profiles as I did this to figure out more of the game.

I took note of how long players were in the game. Many have been here for 14 years or similar when it comes to various gold players, though I don't know if they've likely had long possibly years of a break in between, only to come back to their old account later. The gold player I've seen with the least time here, I don't take account of the names, was around 1 year and a couple of months. Others seemed to have been here for 3-5 years.

I am also a bit puzzled about how there are people my level and under them who have registered here for a very long time, and appear to have collected so much as well as experienced so much of the game, without caring much about the progress goals. No judgment, but I find this bizarre. Some may have breaks in between, but many genuinely seem to just let it be like this for a few 2-5 years, maybe, or more. What???

Some around level 15 have been the same time as me around a couple few months though, but most have been here for longer. Some a year, without going up a level. I found out I could already past level 15 with the amount of battle experience my pet has, going way beyond what is needed with forum questions. But maybe I'm just unlucky, and I keep getting Knutt Knight questions that have a level 500-2,000 opponent for some reason. Who knows? I wish this game adjusted to the player's level from easiest to hardest with quests, but it's entirely randomized in difficulty. A bit confusing, I guess, but I'll keep trying.

I also participated a bit on the forum, creating some topics for myself on the spam sites on deep quotes, and positive news/affirmations spam, just to share some of my ideas. I looked at various subjects without commenting, but I answered some in the entertainment site, especially on books, and the "other" section. Interesting, but sometimes I wish there were more active topics there, so oh well. Outside of private messages with real life friends, I'm afraid usually of talking on public forums, but something about Marapet players seem very unintimidating to me, no matter how dark and brooding their dolls/pets are, so I just share this stuff here. Hope you don't mind. If I pay 500 MP a post, that's fine with me.

I find the names people have for pets fairly interesting. Some have fairly dark names, and this isn't a real example, but maybe something like "Misfortune," "Fury," "Disaster," and a whole range of pets just like that. Others make a lot of joke names to make it as silly as possible. Some add in some characters from certain shows and others involve food in the names. Others involve their hobbies into the names, whether it's some nerdy-geeky technical subject or their interest in fantasy tropes. I also notice some name their pet after their username, and it's a bit odd to have the same name as your pet, but okay, I guess. I'm sure you can imagine what type of clothes their owner might have according to how they name their pets.

A lot of people incorporate their username around certain things. A couple had animal related usernames, and also wore fashion around that animal. Others were characters from anime or live action movies, and tried to make a Marapets doll version of that chracter. Some are names associated with certain themes, such as royalty or danger, that you would only know if you were a history geek, but I know what they're trying to do here.

I also notice a lot of people collect certain favorites of pet types. A lot of people have major pet species and they have those in different variations of costumes, while trying to collect even more of them. Not all costumes exactly, but they do try to collect the rarest costumes as much as possible. I don't really have a favorite myself. I just. . . want all of them, and to take a photo of all of them. I can't really decide. Not sure why.
