We did it, ladies and gentlemen! We reached 5000 signatures!Zero's video: https://youtu.be/dFACXan0d-ERedhead's video and live stream: https://youtu.be/mgzT-GwJK0I and https://youtu.be/LDaqTa4uo5IMy ideal wishlist of what I'd like to see added into BfN before it would be cut off of its development:• Damage Fall-off• Improved AI Backfill• Returning Battle Arena to Ranked• Ability to buy Rux items with coins and/or prize bulbs • Two new plant characters (Iceberg Lettuce and Super Bean)• Two new zombie characters (Robo-Zombie and Mini Garg)• Ops Phase 3• New game mode(s) (Taco Bandits and/or Gnome Tag)Now I know that most of this stuff is just not going to happen if we're thinking level-headedly. So at the very, very least I would be fine with:• Damage Fall-off• Iceberg Lettuce • Ops Phase 3Big thanks to all of you. Be sure to sign the petition, share it with others, and spread the word. Discuss, make videos, make art, whatever you can. Let's keep going with the good fight! https://www.change.org/p/ea-games-keep-development-going-for-plants-vs-zombies-battle-for-neighborville

Post pinned for visibility Hi folks, You may notice you're posts have moved here. We've gathered threads for raising awareness/sharing the same petition (as detailed in the opening post) and brought them together into one space - here! It's best to keep information on the same subject in the same space and it means people only need to check out one thread to get up to speed with things. To add, it also helps to limit spamming the boards with threads on the same topic. I hope that makes sense. Please feel free to continue to use this thread for updates and chatting 🙂 Have a great day, EA_Lanna

Hello there all,Updating this post as we've hit another milestone: 3000 signatures!We're now 2000 signatures away from reaching 5000, which if we do then that has to show EA and/or Popcap something significant, possibly enough to warrant something, but I'll keep things realistic as to not try to get any hopes too high.Just want to thank you guys again for the support you've given this.As always, remember to share this petition with friends and keep on spreading the message about this fight to save BfN.-DoctorDap

@DoctorDap Thank you for the update! I noticed the growth of the petition in just a few hours was crazy! I wouldn’t get my hopes up too much, but I’ll continue to share it where I can. Maybe we can get Iceburg Lettuce to be released. I supported the petition by donating 10 Euros. Just to have a tiny chance of the character to be released. To me, that is worth it.I’m also really angry at some of the people in the reddit community. They are making memes about and insulting the people who sign the petition. Because they are convinced it doesn’t help. To them I say: “How did you help? By refusing to sign a petition because it takes 30 seconds? By pushing for the game to be cancelled, even though the devs mainly listened to your complaints and not the ones of their own forum? By getting it to be cancelled because by the so called voting with your wallet you would get a gw3 to be made, even though you just told EA that PvZ shouldn’t get new games?”thank you for all of you support! Have a nice day 😇!

SAVE BFN: http://chng.it/RQ4mPGY664Hello everybody.I want to make this clear from the start: please don't let this thread get your hopes up too much.This post is meant to take a look at everything we know about the announcement that content updates for BfN would be cancelled and why, eve though things aren't looking good, we still should at least try to get this announcement to change.The big bangOn September 1st (Whyyyy on this date?), EA made a blog post about the newest festival and prize map. It starts out very clam and towards the end, one sentence shifted the tone of the blog post dramatically. It communicates the discontinuation of content updates:"As the leaves start to change, September’s Fall Festival will be our last Festival and our final game and gameplay update will be at the end of the month."What does that mean?The game will still receive balancing and bug fix updates, but no new content, even though a lot of nearly finished content has been found in the game's files. Please keep in mind this info isn't official. The unreleased content has been found by data miners, who take a look at content hiding in the game. Could we change something about this?Many think it is impossible for the community to do something about the announcement, but the blog post indicates otherwise in the last paragraph: "This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible. For more information, please refer to EA’s Online Service Updates at https://www.ea.com/service-updates."What is so weird about this? 11 months of content updates is good, isn't it?Usually if such an announcement happens, it doesn't say "we could change our plans based on your feedback". Some people think it is just there to soften the shock. The team working on BfN has a website. This website says that the team is working on a new game of a past game series from EA. This doesn't have to mean there couldn't be more content updates to BfN if we demand them and give positive feedback though. We could at least get the nearly finished content that lese would be scrapped to be released.Factors why the "This announcement could change based on our community's feedback could be accurate:This part is included in every translation of the blog post and even more promising in languages other than EnglishThere is a bunch of unreleased and nearly finished content in the game's filesWhy would they lie about it? It would only upset people more.There aren't any truly active PvZ games on the market. PvZ Garden Warfare 1/2 still have functioning servers, but no new content. PvZ 2 hasn't seen a content update in years. PvZ 3 has only been released in a few countries. PvZ Heros hasn't been updates in ages as well. BfN, until the announcement, was the only PvZ game with active content support.Content updates could be brought to us by a different dev team, even if it seems unlikely.PvZ: BfN is one of the only child friendly shooters on the marketFactors why it could not mean anything and be over:The studio behind BfN has publicly announced on their website that they are working on a new game unrelated to PvZIf the game really performed poorly, EA wouldn't be interested in saving it. To them, money is the most important factor. On this note we should remember EA changed their policy in regards to Star Wars due to fan backlash, though. To be fair, however, the Star Wars franchise is quite a bit bigger than PvZ.What can you do? Make posts on social media directed at EA and PopCap and say how much you want BfN to receive further content updatesSign every petition you can find on it, it only takes a few secondsSupport threads on here Please sign: http://chng.it/RQ4mPGY664

We need this everywhere. Reddit, Discord, Twitter, Youtube. Share it with content creators, even Wolfy Playz' Discord, the unofficial subreddits for the franchise, ZackScott, Zero and anyway else you can get people to sign this petition. I've already tried but it keeps on getting buried in comments which is why we need y'all to push this out there and tell people to write letters to show EA that we still wanna support this game for longer than a year!

Can we add a sixth stage somewhere in the five stages of grief ... pessimism?

@DoctorDap Please use the search bar. There is already a petition going. Signing one petition instead of multiple will have a greater impact. @TheSprinter85 A lot of these threads can be compacted into one instead of multiple post on the same topic. As the active champion you should look into it. I know I’m being blunt, but things are getting a little out of hand here on the forum. You can scroll for days on here seeing the same topic multiple times. Repetitiveness will deter people. Not trying to be mean , I’m really not. I’ve just seen it too many times. There are zero active hero’s here anymore that can combine them. Might have to go to slack.

@dwooten77 I have been seeing multiple similar posts lately upon this topic, and I do find it confusing. I will see if I can get some of the topic merged. Thank you for the tip!

@Fork_x_Spoon I think the same, I am from Mexico and many sagas like PVZ have been our childhood and that is why the love of PVZ. In general, that's why I also support BFN, it's not a bad game and it has the potential to improve. And I would like to see that like many people

@getter87 Glad to see PvZ have such a positive impact. Sad to see it’s death will cause depression.
Thank you for supporting PvZ where you can.

@dwooten77 Hello again, As far as I can tell, the petition @DoctorDap shared is the most popular one, so everyone should focus on that one. I updated my old thread to include this one instead a couple of days ago.
I guess you’re right that too many posts will deter people. Thank you for suggesting it to @TheSprinter85 .
The pessimist in me tells me it won’t matter anyway. I have seen messages from some members sayin the announcement made them stay away from the forum or made them less active. Many still go and give these posts xp, but without commenting on them like they would have in the past.
At least people will know the PvZ community did their best when looking at these posts.(I Hope)
I hope you all have a great day, despite the bad mood caused by the announcement.
Happy birthday, BfN 🙁

It's hard decision to sign because do I really want save this game? They could be potential for new one where they don't mess up. I'm a OG but there's a time to let go and a time to wait for a better future. Good luck.
