So ... am trying to decide... currently have remaining 310 gems ... just bought Gothic this morning with a portion of the stash of gems I’d been able to slowly accumulate and the 250 SP generously made available.

With the expansion deal I need 240 gems (rather than 575) to expand to Rune Island; agonizing off and on about whether to make the 2nd purchase for Rune or not ... have been using the strategy to always keep on hand 100 gems for HR use and there is not one schedule for end of June so figure next one will come some time in July ... could grab a few more gems between now and then to keep my strategy going ...

So, question to everyone is: do the 2nd expansion ... or not?

Thanks for your input!

@dragonlove Space is always needed. But it will take a while to fill this new island, right? I think I would wait with the next one.

@bettina-löffler I agree, save and wait until you fill up your new island.

ty ty both! your experience and advice is much appreciated! wait it is ... with lots of ice cream , of course, ... feel free to grab some spoons and dig in too

@dragonlove fb is blowing up with pics of all the islands folks bought with their free gems!! Me too, 3 of my baby accts purchased an island. We are going to need an ice cream social to cool off!!
