A wasted opportunity?

Calling it a coincidence is very charitable of you. We're in the middle of the Halloween event and EA is obviously very well aware of that. So why make 46 tie up someone we're ALL using as often as possible? Pushing out a level during CoC made sense because so many of us had the thing wrapped up early, but nobody has finished Halloween here. Why put out a level at all? Or maybe roll it out during the extension period, when the die-hards are twiddling their thumbs.

And also I want Maggie slithering around my town on tentacles.

But if you really want a wasted opportunity, why doesn't Dr. Hibbert have a task at the Aztec Theater for "Thinking they were showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show"?

Let's not overreact here - putting Nelson on that 12 hour task as part of the Mrs. Muntz quest line loses the player out on 1 or 2 treat bags. The chances of a player failing to complete the Halloween prizes due to 1 or 2 less treat bags over the course of a month long event are virtually zero, so I appreciate the Level 46 release giving us something fresh to do. I doubt there's going to be much downtime at all between now and the New Year...plus I'm sure Level 47 is coming down the road at some point.

Agree that a playable Maggie would be fun, but I can't really fault EA for holding back a few major characters for future release - if they give us everything we want now, there's not much reason to continue playing!
