I think we need to help these two fine people get to acceptance about bfn and the only way to do that is get me to top xp on the leaderboard...so go ahead and give me xp until your fingers bleed. Show them that pessimism and sarcasm always wins.

@Gormey 😱😂🤣 Watch out, you'll be using smilies next! 😁

@Gormey Ohhhh, Gormey, I've missed you! 😂 Your avatar so suits your style!While I'm generally the polar opposite in that I like to think positively & would try to soften anything I say so I don't hurt people's feelings, I think it would be better to face facts.Regardless of whatever mysterious happenings have been going on at PopCap, EA will have been collecting data on player numbers, game sales & micro-transactions for many, many months before taking this decision.They will have weighed up the investment already put into the game & the amount needed to continue bringing out new content plus all the related admin costs to work out if it's financially viable to carry on.I hate seeing all the upset & sad reactions but I actually think this is the best & most honest communication on the game the community has had in a long, long time.The most important thing is that the bugs & balance are addressed to put the game in the best possible state and remember, the servers aren't going down so everyone will be able to continue playing if they want to.Good luck with the xp, Gormey! 😜🤣

@Gormey I’ll help you by granting you Xp.I can’t believe you won the battle for Neighborville, Dr. Zomboss.I know I have done everything I could now. I will wait for the promised further updates on the matter and share the popular petition.You could start a petition to get me to accept the defeat, but these things never work anyway 🙂.Maybe I’ll play PvZ 3 when it launches in my country and join the forum there. It looks terrible, in my opinion, but it seems like it will be the last PvZ game we get.i still hope Iceburg Lettuce could come, but I don’t expect it, I mean it would be in EA’s interest, The team work on it for half a year and it’s nearly done. By releasing it EA would see some profit from it, else it would be lost.So yeah, as @TheSprinter85 said, were in this 6th stage of grief that we, as professional psychologists, added to the existing stages,I actually thought to myself that someone might start a riot against me on the forum if I continue to try, and sure enough it was there 😂.I love your humor, thanks for sharing it with us,

As I said in a different post:TheSprinter85 said:"I'm really hoping that this game gets saved, but I am going to be fairly pessimistic as well this time around (Also, we don't want to lose our lovely community)." I am going to be pessimistic. 🙂

@benn1nat0r It's not against you. For my part, I've only commented because I worry people could end up hurting more in the long run by hoping in vain - there's been enough of that already 😔A lot people have or will post things you disagree with, whether sadly or angrily but don't let yourself be affected by other people's opinions or venting.For me, I took part in Picnic & had my eyes wide open as to the fundamental differences between the GW games & BFN, and though I prefer the GW style, I was impressed by the creativity & hoped it would be a game I would enjoy AS WELL as the GWs. I like the new characters, loved completing the PvE regions & enjoyed PvP in the early days & because of that I don't regret buying the game at all.I've met great people in the forum & made friends & that's something that has made it feel worthwhile.There'll be people who carry on playing beyond the last Festival for the love of the game or to obtain items they didn't get from Rux or previous Festivals, so just enjoy the last prize map & play for as long as you have fun (I'm sure Gormey will keep amusing people for some time to come! 😂🤣)

Please help ben and sprinter get to final stage of grief for bfn

@Gormey I signed the petitions but only supporting the completion of remaining content. BFN can die in the next year for all I care, and PvZ shooters are over. As sad as it is, this is how I felt when Toys'R'Us closed; sad, but reasonable.
(Besides, they came back eventually. They've been opening some small stores here and just kinda stayed that way. I'd expect the franchise to be the same, just come back but smaller.)

Regardless of whatever mysterious happenings have been going on at PopCap, EA will have been collecting data on player numbers, game sales & micro-transactions for many, many months before taking this decision.
They will have weighed up the investment already put into the game & the amount needed to continue bringing out new content plus all the related admin costs to work out if it's financially viable to carry on.

I hate seeing all the upset & sad reactions but I actually think this is the best & most honest communication on the game the community has had in a long, long time.

The most important thing is that the bugs & balance are addressed to put the game in the best possible state and remember, the servers aren't going down so everyone will be able to continue playing if they want to.

Good luck with the xp, Gormey! 😜🤣

Hooray! I got through the five stages of grief and got to a newly made sixth stage: pessimism.

Just to be clear I love all 3 games and will continue to play bfn until the hackers take over...I'm seriously considering cosmetic surgery to look like the Allstar.
Unfortunately my horrible OCD won't let me quit until I have all costumes, etc and I hit the new max rank.
So fear not everyone I'll be dishing out savage beatings in team vanquish on pc with my trusty xbox one controller for quite a while longer.

@Gormeywe think alike even if I tend to post more optimistic things here as over the years I've found people get upset if you keep pointing out that we're all doomed.
Like you, I enjoy all three games and will be getting max rank on all the characters in BfN assuming the servers stay open long enough as I'm just hitting GM3 on my characters now.
I guess I can feel free to spend the coins I've been hoarding on the XP machine now, bleah.
One thing I really enjoy about BfN is the anti-cheat seems to be working and I've yet to see people playing as the gnome king or summoning gargantuars from dirt piles.
For me, the fact that BfN is no longer receiving updates is that we don't have any idea if we're getting a new PvZ shooter or not. When GW1 slowed down, I didn't know there was a GW2 but I had heard rumors and eventually pre-ordered it and played on day one. When GW2 stopped getting new content, but then got little trickles again later on, we all knew a new game was coming, so I wasn't concerned and grabbed Founders immediately. I'd love to see a GW3 or something along those lines, but it's hard to say what they'll do as EA is well known to just cut things down they feel aren't performing that well, and BfN certainly shuddered to a halt.

@Iron_Guard8 Agreed, another shooter is doubtful which sucks. But I'm trying to be more positive so my estimate isn't it's 99% doubtful...it's 1% possible! Yay me, I'm a care bear now...ha ha.
