In Search of Atlantis - Timed Quest

This Timed Quest was Released on 8-10-13. It was a Previously Released Timed Quest Allowing Players New and Old to Finish Restoring Atlantis. It will be difficult for a low neighbor count Player to complete. To get more Neighbors visit the Megapolis Add Me Group on Facebook!

This Timed Quest Involves completing Buildings to Recover the lost city of Atlantis.

I have noticed a shorter than normal time limit of 72 hours! (This Was Corrected when SQ added an Extra 48 Hours a Few Days Later.

For those of you who are new, or missed this Quest originally it was a previously released Timed Quest. I expect that the shortened time limit is because it was intended for people who had begun the original release and did not finish. I would not suggest this if you have not started it yet. The time limit is far to short to complete without Megabucks or a lot of neighbors!

Quest Complete!

This Timed Quest will prove to be very difficult and I anticipate having to use Megabucks to complete some Buildings or extend the Quest. I also noticed that all the "Core" Buildings for this Timed Quest the Main Lab, Radar, and Helipad can all Upgrade, However it does not seem to be necessary to upgrade the base Buildings to complete the Quest.
