Been playing for almost 2 years... And now....

Lots of great comments in this thread. Good idea, OP!

I started in September 2012. Found this forum and added a couple friends to make it through the Halloween 2012 event. Yeah, 300 donuts went a lot farther then, and I remember not believing I was spending real money on this game!

I joined the forum to ask how to build the bridges I was seeing in my neighborino's towns. I thought they were a special item you had to buy or level up to get. I didn know you just had to run road alongside water :shock:

I grew up on asteroids, missile command, moon walker, pacman, and have been a gamer my entire life. I remember Battle Chess too! Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizzards was my first PC game running HGA graphics on an amber monitor. I'm primarily an xbox console gamer now, I've been playing Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) pretty religiously since it was released in November 2009, so coming up on five years - great replay value there! :shock:

I think TSTO has the same longevity for me as L4D2. Since starting TSTO, I've purchased far fewer $60 console games than I would have. So even though I've spent an embarrassing amount of money on TSTO, it's still less than a couple years of monthly $60 console games. If my town went poof tomorrow, I would start over from scratch. I love the Simpsons, there's always something different going on in my town, great new content and events (excluding Easter 2014 and CoC), great forum communities (though we have had our ups and downs), and great neighborinos who have some fantastic towns.

All in all, I don't think I would abandon TSTO for another game and I don't plan on quitting in the foreseeable future.

Started playing right before Halloween 2012. Pretty much a daily player except for the "Harp of Death". I have every intention of continuing to play for as long as I can. Overall I have had very little issues.

Been playing since about April 2013...I have a lot of fun designing my town

Started playing at Christmas 2012. When I lost all my Christmas coins (event ended), I found this forum so I could learn how to play this life-ruiningly game. :)

Loved SIM City and that's what attracted me to this game- creating towns.

I was playing my son's game in Sept 2012 and started my own game October 2012. I remember a mad rush to get to Marge before the Halloween event ended, cause I wanted Witch Marge. The completionist in me started early.

I've been playing since shortly after the launch on kindle (which was later than the launch on any other devices because amazon has to have its own stupid app store, consarnit!) and I've logged in at least once a day since, though I haven't always been able to log in for long. At first I was doing it for the misery boxes, but at this point I know those are terrible and it's mostly habit.

You know what's the stupidest thing ever is on Kindle???
the android apps WORKS ON KINDLE!
If you install an apk from Android THEY WORK!
They 're the same!!!

I started playing in January 2014.

I started October 2013 so I was not advanced enough to get Witch Marge or any Halloween things. I am now level 45 and looking forward to Halloween!

Started playing the end of Halloween last year...so almost at my year mark! Really bummed that I didn't start playing sooner..I missed out on a lot of great decorations and characters :(

HAHa guys. We should all team up and become neighbors:D
Anyone? :)
