[Android] Springfield disappeared (goodbye)

Well, it's been Fun, EA. You didn't manage to take TOO much of my money away (only about 80 bucks or so). Was just about to build my church. Fell asleep with game running on my phone, woke up to "Retry connect to server" window, and now my Springfield is gone.

Thanks for managing to give Android users a sub-par game compared to the iOS version (why isn't login/sync available on Android?)

Just a word of warning to those of you playing on the Android version. I will be uninstalling and trying to get a refund for my in-app purchases (which probably won't happen). I'll think twice before sinking money into another EA game.


I definitely don't want to minimize your experience. I'm just trying to understand what happened. Are you saying that your town was gone once you managed to reconnect or that you haven't yet been successful in reconnecting?

    Was just browsing through the most recent reviews for this game on the Google Play Store:

    Seems to be a fairly common issue today.


    Sorry about that. Just took a quick scan of the forum and saw it at the top and I assumed it must have been from today. It is removed now though, which is strange. Unless year old posts are autoremoved.

    It was gone after reconnected (it showed the intro video and started the tutorial with the empty Springfield)


    Ouch. That musta hurt. :-(

    On the off chance you don't already know this, if you're going to seek a refund, don't waste your time approaching EA. Instead, contact Apple.
    I think you mean Android.


    Um, yeah. Fingers were working faster than my brain. :oops:
