Yeah, definitely don't send them home. I have well over 100 characters and 26million magic, so home works well in my game. I'm not a big spender in this game, but I have "donated" a bit here and there. Mostly I try to earn gems by leveling up my characters, watching the ads, and doing well on the challenges. Then I save it all up and use it for new characters. I've never spent gems on a chest, a costume, to speed up an action, or an item (like a concession or a decoration) other than a few floats and attractions here and there. We all play differently here, and it's all good.
