    Over the night, Dengeki Representative, YK3, collected 55 more cards and reached their goal total of exchanging 200 cards with players at roughly 11:40 JP time. Check their daily journal to see what was exchanged. This means that we'll get more quests on the way! Akiyama apologizes for not being able to promptly log in at the card exchange time. Akiyama of ST, however, did not reach his goal of 200. This should make for an interesting match between the two representatives. Discuss this news in our forums.

    You can only exchange one card per person and you cannot exchange guild cards or battle with them as they're specifically there only to swap cards. Hope you guys enjoy the new events!
