Yes I'd say the first month I didn't really have the intention to get where I am today. But after that I did start playing a few hours everyday. Some periods would involve no training and I would do things such as minigames or quests.
The past month has been slow for me as I'm very busy irl due to a few things so should get there eventually haha.
Yeah my friends used to rage log when I used to remind them about getting a Zulrah pet at 16kc. I do consider myself lucky regarding that but feel I deserve it for all the other bad luck I get -.-
