Pet Society Sticker Collections September 28, 2009

Pet Society sticker collections were introduced today.

The mayor sent out information about the new feature in his latest newsletter:

You can go to your sticker collection by clicking the new icon on the bottom of the screen. It’s right under Momo’s feet (below).  She’s not happy that yet another icon is cluttering up the playing screen.

Here’s what the sticker book looks like:

Click the blue arrow or the category titles to flip through the pages of your sticker collection.  There are pages for food, clothes, furniture, toys, and plants.  On each page are sticker silhouettes of items that you can collect in the game.   For instance, the food pages are full of silhouettes of foods we can buy in the food shop.

Here’s how the sticker collections work. Stickers cannot be purchased, and the only way to get a sticker is if a friend gives an unopened sticker pack to you. Opened stickers cannot be gifted, and each sticker pack contains one sticker. You can give a sticker package to one of your friends by opening your sticker collection book and clicking on “send sticker packs to friends” on the left page in the front of your sticker book.  This pulls up a pop-up window that lists all of your facebook friends (not just the ones who play Pet Society), and you can select a friend (or friends) to send a sticker pack to. You can send one sticker pack to eight individual friends per day. The process of sending a sticker sends your friend a facebook “gift request,” and  your friend will receive a notification that you sent them a gift in facebook, outside of the Pet Society game.

If you receive a sticker from a friend, then you’ll get a out-of-game facebook notification that looks like this:

Then when you log back into Pet Society, you’ll receive the sticker pack in your house and you can open it to reveal the sticker. Each sticker has three versions: bronze, silver and gold.  Gold stickers are the most rare.  So far, Momo received one sticker.  It’s a bronze tulips sticker.  The sticker shows up at the bottom of the screen (as in the picture below).

You can then stick the sticker over its silhouette in the book.

You can look at your friends’ sticker collections when you visit them by clicking the sticker collection icon over their health/ happiness/hygiene bars.  Also, Playfish has stated that more collections will be added soon.

To get a trophy, you need to “Complete 5 sticker collections in bronze/silver/gold.” That means you have to collect five full double-pages of stickers with the same color border to have five collections. So, if you collect all of the stickers of foods, clothes, furniture, toys and plants with a bronze border, you’ll get the bronze trophy.

There’s also a “sticker recycler,” which can be used to get rid of sticker duplicates.  Unfortunately, you cannot gift stickers to your friends, so the duplicates just go to waste. To use the sticker recycler, drag you extra stickers to the recycle icon at the bottom left below your sticker album. When you have 1320, 2640 or 5280 sticker points,  you can redeem a bronze, silver or gold sticker pack, respectively. Each of the redeemed sticker packs includes random stickers at the respective level, so bronze sticker packs will have bronze stickers in them.

Personally, I don’t think I’m going to be collecting many stickers.  Most of my friends aren’t regular Pet Society players, so I doubt they’ll send me many.  I tried sending a few and didn’t enjoy it, since I don’t want to spam my friends with unwanted facebook notifications and the popup window took a long time to load for me (some are experiencing major glitches and can’t send stickers at all). I think it’s really annoying that we have to send the gifts through facebook when Pet Society already has an in-game gifting system. What’s Pet Society becoming -  a cutesy version of Mafia Wars?

What do you think?  Do you like the stickers?

    I completely agree with you on the notification thing. I HATE Facebook notifications. Seriously, I generally have at least 100 on any given day, and I just ignore them. I didn’t even know it was a notification thing until I read your post. I just thought that none of my friends had sent me stickers. I did send out 8 stickers, but only to friends that I know play regularly. I don’t want to fill up anyone’s notification queue! I guess I don’t really get the point, either. I’d rather collect items, not stickers with pictures of items.

  2. Hendi Says:

    So, where does our friend gets the stickers?

  3. Elii Says:

    i DEFINITELY agree with you on the notification thing. but message friends and mutually agree to send stickers as often as possible. that’s what i did, and i’ll just collect as many stickers as i can.

  4. Sandi Says:

    If we could trade a complete page of gold stickers for cash I would love this.
    Otherwise who cares about stickers.

  5. Vanilla ( pet society name ) Says:

    YEAH ! ITS TOTALLY ANNOYING ! i HATE facebook notification and it took long loading for me ( sometimes ). and, MY FRIENDS ALSO ME, rarely open that facebook request or yeaaa facebook invite. i HATE THIS ! and im not interesting with that sticker-send thingy… but i just wanna know ! what is the item inside :D hehehe maybe ill do that ! but RARELY . hehe.

  6. Lola Bunni Says:

    This reminds of Farmville where you are encouraged daily to send gifts to your friends, even if they are not current Farmville players.

    I can understand from a marketing standpoint why they are doing this since it has the potential of getting new people to sign up (because they want to see what this thing you sent them is all about) and it encourages current players to log on more often whenever they receive a notification. However, it’s just an icon in a book, unlike Farmville where what you receive can actually be used to enhanced your farm and gameplay.

    I’m with you. I don’t think I’ll be in to this much once the novelty wears off.

    • Lola, I see your point. I guess it is good marketing, but at the same time, farmville notifications annoyed me to the point that I hid the application in my feed. I also blocked the app all together, so that a few of my farmville-obsessed friends couldn’t send me anything. I guess the stickers will get a few people interested or more active, even if it irritates many others.

  7. Nati Says:

    hey pet society girl! i was just wondering if you notice that the room previewer application disappear, i mean, if you place your mouse button on a room you cannot see it.
    and another thing, i have a photo of the pretzelfish if you want it :)

    • Ohh, you’re right. I read on the Playfish forum that they are trying to fix some problems with it.

      That would be great if you could upload a picture of the pretzelfish in the flickr group! I still haven’t caught it.

  8. I can’t access Pet Society when i want send Pet Society Sticker request… Why???

  9. pher Says:

    what can we get in the sticker eco boxes??

    this feature is just a waste i think..

    but i will collect all of them..i’m so sure i can..
    :)

  10. yogurl Says:

    Where can we get stickers?
    Will they just appear out of nowhere??

    0.0

    • pher Says:

      send stickers to your friends..

      this is free..

      just open the sticker book icon on your screen..then follow instructions..

      your friends will receive notifications..and probably(because this is free), they will also send back stickers to you..

      if you receive a notification from PS..accept that then log into PS..

      you will receive a sticker bag..open that and the surprise sticker will appear..

      ..that’s all..yeeha!!..lol

    • If a friend sends you a sticker, you’ll receive a notification on your facebook home page.

  11. Vanilla ( pet society name ) Says:

    hey, its kinda cool PSG :) i thought it wasnt fun .. but i love it :D hehehe. for this time, MY FRIENDs ALWAYS OPEN THE Pet Society Sticker REQUEST ! I DONT KNOW WHY ! but if the facebook request is mafia wars invite, farm ville gift or something like that, my friends also me, rarely and not interesting to open it ! hahaha !

  12. Vanilla (pet society name) Says:

    hehe

  13. Pet Says:

    buy already but no sticker how

  14. Tisss Says:

    For me its senseless!
    I mean, if i could send/exchange the duplicated stickers to my friends, would be great, and funny (like in my childhood, with the WWF, and Barbie album… i dont know, if you had this, but here, in my country it was a big sensation).
    But in this way its simply boring.

    • Tisss, sticker albums were a big sensation and fad when I was a child too. I grew up in Canada, and everyone loves collecting Panini sticker albums for Barbie, Transformers, hockey players, etc. I agree that it seems pointless that we can’t give duplicates to our friends like we could in real life.

  15. vanilla Says:

    i still can’t send or recieve a sticker..help pls..I cannot open my list of friends…hope you can help me…

    • There are some problems with browser incompatibilities that Playfish is checking. If you have another web browser (ex. if you use firefox, but also have IE on your computer), you can try using that. A lot of Mac users are having problems.

  16. miki Says:

    I hate the fact that I have to rely on ppl to send me stickers to fill my book! also the sticker itself doesn’t apealing to me either. UGLY picture.

  17. LISA Says:

    I think the sticker is kinda cool :)
    Even though it’s sad that we can’t find the stickers our own @__@

    Can i add you in facebook? I’ll send you sticker packs if you want to ^^

  18. LISA Says:

    oh, i saw the previous replies that you only add close friends @__@ It’s okay then ^^

  19. Vanilla (pet society name) Says:

    HM, WHO IS ANOTHER VANILLA ? YOUR NAME JUST LIKE MY PET NAME @__@

  20. batman Says:

    can you only get stickers from sending them ?

  21. pher Says:

    i olready have 6 stickers..haha..

    i hope tomorrow ol my friends will send back stickers..
    :)

  22. mauve(pet society) Says:

    hey, i did send some stickers to ma frnds and look what i got 9 back !!!
    so m very happy but yeah i also hate that notification idea tho i like many notification lyk farmvville gift requests dat i mainly get !!!

  23. Laura Says:

    I realy dislike this new feature. Not only it’s superspaming at it’s best, but you absolutly depend on YOUR friends, and not yourself, to actually enjoy this thing. I haven’t recieved a single sticker from my friends (they’re just plain eeeevil- *joke*)and even if you get one, you’re pretty much stuck with it (can’t trade it, can’t sell it, can’t gift it, can’t plain-recycle it, no, you can only sticker-recycle it). =/ I’ve been loving Pet Society more and more with each passing day since i first played it over a year ago (yes, I actually saw the birth of holiday themed weeks and months, and there was no cafe or stadium… and i think there wasnt even a luxury store? It’s the elderly-player-alzheimer kicking in). But this is just….uncool.

    And another thing: I actually enjoyed the tutorial application because they gave us a free doll… but when you finish the whole tutorial, the book just clutters the screen! It should be like in County Story, that everytime you get to a new level, you get new “quests” (and new and better prizes)…

    So far PlayFish has listened to their players (slowly but surely), and hopefully they’ll fix this.

    Anywho, I think I’ll dont even bothe with the sticker thing

    • No, Laura, you don’t have player Alzheimers (yet anyway!). You’re right that there wasn’t a luxury store back in the olden Pet Society days. I remember when there was just the one purple mystery box and it was sold in the furniture store. Like you, I love the game, but dislike the new stickers feature.

  24. Danchou Says:

    can’t they just get rid of the notifications and just let you send stickers like gifts?

    i mean if they’re gonna force you to send notifications to give/get something, at least let the process be faster. i don’t like how we have to click accept for each and every sticker we get separately

  25. Hi Danchou, I would love it if they changed the sticker giving system and did that instead!

  26. Faith Says:

    I’ve gotten quite a lot of stickers, but what bugs me is that there is no reward system. Why would I want to collect stickers?
    I mean, I’d love to if you could get a special item after every five stickers or something.

    Also, this is off topic, but have you noticed that instead of getting 30 coins each time you visit someone, sometimes it’s 20, or even 10?!? has this always been? I feel like I’m being cheated.

    • mrslea Says:

      You get 30 coins for any friends you visit who have been active in the past 24 hours. You get 20 coins for friends who haven’t been active in the past 24 hours. You get 10 coins if you’ve petted more than 30 (I think it’s 30) other pets. What I do is pet my active pets first so I can get as many 30 coins pet as I can before I start on my inactive pets.

      • Faith Says:

        That’s a good idea.

        I haven’t noticed it until today. haha.
        That kind of makes me mad though. I think we should get 30 coins for each friend.

        • Casper Says:

          You get 20 coins for the first 50 friends that you visit. 10 coins for the next 25 (visited friend 51-75). Then you get 5 each for any visits more than 75. You get 10 bonus points if your friend has been active for the last 24 hours (denoted by the red pet stadium icon by their profile picture). That’s why sometimes you get 30 and sometimes you get 20. Or less.

  27. pher Says:

    16 stickers now!yeeha!

  28. ceres-gal Says:

    lol i don’t think my friends will bother sending stickers… i’m hoping on relatives not minding the daily notifications and reciprocating xD

    but i guess i won’t focus on this sticker collecting business since it’s not a coins making activity!

  29. pher Says:

    i don/t know how to get the sticker trophy..i olready have 5 bronze stickers but i still don’t have the bronze trophy..do i need to complete a whole page??

    i noticed that sumtyms, even if you accept the request, a sticker pack doesn’t arrive..

    i tried to accept 6 requests at a tym, only 5 arrived..i tried 1 at a tym sumtyms, it arrives..sumtyms, there’s no sticker pack that arrives at all..

    ..does everybody experience this also??

    • To get a trophy, it says “Complete 5 sticker collections in bronze.” That means you have to collect five full double-pages of stickers to get five collections. I heard about some people having trouble accepting multiple sticker packs, but that they didn’t have trouble if they just accepted and opened them one at a time. Time-consuming though…

      • lemony98 Says:

        pher – I have had this problem. I received at least 10 packs today, and lost 5 due to the limit you can open at a time. What a waste! I also lost 2 packs yesterday because I accepted the packs while I had Pet Society opened in another window. Didn’t think that would matter. Apparently, it does.

  30. jel Says:

    i like the sticker collection and i would like to send some to my friends, but the thing is, its not working at all, and i need to reload my whole pet society screen to get it working again.

  31. pher Says:

    use internet explorer in sending stickers..

    it’s best to use in sending stickers..

    there’s no glitch with this..

    it just matters on the browser :)

  32. suhana Says:

    i hate the sticker..dont bother to use it..better they make it as ingame sticker not involving fb to send it..so stupid and lazy work for playfish..i prefer if we got the sticker in game and we just drop it in our friend house.. if we send same person it will notify that we cant give the sticker to the same person…hate sticker…period.

  33. Brenna Says:

    I think it’s a cute idea, but I haven’t been able to send any. Every time I try, it crashed PS and gives me an error message. I wonder if this is primarily affecting Mac users? I’ve tried it in Safari and Camino, and neither works. I haven’t tried with Firefox, but maybe I will do that.

    I don’t know, I kind of just want to be able to send them for the novelty of it, but I doubt it’s something I will use much, frankly.

  34. But, i open stickers, and.. error

  35. nadirra Says:

    i’m buy stikers, but, i don’t know. please speak in indonesia.

  36. rafi rizqi Says:

    ow no, i’m pet society error

  37. rafi rizqi Says:

    i’m spek indonesia “saya tidak mengerti tentang membeli stiker, tetapi saya tidak tahu cara membeli stiker”. thanks…

  38. Ozair Says:

    actually this is takes a really long time
    couldnt they make it more easier,so that the stickers would arrive at ur doorstep..??

  39. Samantha Says:

    I think they should have an icon of the blue pet society paw and then it should say ‘Pet Society Sticker Request’ next to it instead of it being just listed in the ‘other request’ list… what do you think? x

  40. felicia Says:

    I get gold sticker !

  41. white Says:

    how can get the sticker thropy ?

    • White, to get a trophy, it says “Complete 5 sticker collections” for gold/silver/or bronze. That means you have to collect five full double-pages of stickers with a particular border to get five collections.

  42. Ozair Says:

    I recycled the extra stickers i had and small sticker pack when i opened i thought it would be a good item but when i saw it was just a normal bronze sticker..!!

  43. Toad(pet society name) Says:

    I know a friend who cheats by using another account and send him stickers everyday. I think i shud try that….
    although it is bad as it is cheating, i cant think of any other way. :(

  44. Elii Says:

    how many sticker packs are you able to receive per day?

    • Elii, there’s only a limit on how many sticker packs you can send, and I don’t think there’s a limit on how many you can receive. I’ve heard that people who receive a lot of stickers should accept them one at a time because if you accept them together, a lot of stickers go missing.
