8:45?!

How do we know there will even be an update?.....we know the xmas coins are finishing on the 10th, does that mean there will be an update?

Dont get me wrong i certainly hope there is specially with some bug fixes that would be nice :) Miss decorating my town :(

I hope so cuz I'm all out of (nonpremium) buildings and quests which too badly hammers down the fun and interest.
Such a great game tho :!:

Junk the Christmas stuff (people can choose to keep the lights, but the coins go) but I'm really hoping that the snow stays for at least another month. No sense in EA having put all that work in for such a short period of time.

My ideal update would be:
- level 25 (duh....)
- ditch the coins
- remove the limited time premium purchases
- keep the snow
- add Mr. Plow and Plow King storyline
- add Gil full time (he could be the one to sell Homer the plow)
- add one other character (not Ralph -- see below) and a building or two

Why not Ralph? I'm glad you asked. The timing of the update is too soon to really capitalize on Ralph's inclusion. He would be better introduced in the February update, which should come between February 5-10 (most updates have come on the 5, but it may slide given the lateness of January's).

If Ralph comes in February, its the perfect tie in to Valentine's Day. You can have a short story with that, since Valentine's Day really (really, really, really) does not need a full Halloween/Christmas remaking of the game.

Of course, much of this is predicated on EA doing things logically. They could well chuck all the work they put into the snow to bring back all the greenery, bring in Ralphie and skip Valentine's Day altogether....

Lol...I was just quoting stupid sexy Flanders yesterday...you guys and your one track minds!

It will be between 9-930 gmt like always!

That's because you don't live in Winterland (a.k.a. Canada). If you did, you would know that winter lasts from October to April. Unless you live in Vancouver or Toronto of course.

As someone who really dislikes the rain, I'll gladly stay here in Winterland before joining you in the Jolly Ol'.

Although I did visit England with the family back in 86. If I could find the minitape VHS converter (and a working VHS machine, of course), I could re-watch the fascinating video of us in a roundabout with my dad in the background saying "There's Big Ben. And there's Big Ben again. Hey, look, there's it is again...."

Sadly, no.

I don't think Chevy wore shorts that short....

Who wears short shorts?

I say lose the snow... I have enough of it in my yard and have taken to salting my lawn to melt it... :shock:
