what year did you start playing tapped out?

July 2013. Haven’t missed an event since and have failed to complete only 2 - the event that shall not be named (never found that stupid faberge egg) and Halloween about 3-4 years ago (out of the country for one week, but I got everything but the tentacle HQ building anyway). Total spent ~$25. Not bad for over 5+ years of ad free entertainment.
