    For those of us that experienced the glitch, are we able to safely store the monorail stations?


    I wouldn't risk it as they may disappear. I just did a quick remodel of my SH to fit 2 stations in there so I didn't have to store any of them.

    EDIT: Game crashing hard every time I try to access inventory.




    I had the railyard unlocked and I am NOT getting this glitch and its bull crap because you guys are getting loads of tracks that have cost me money. Sometimes I think that they program this game out of a garage and its hard to belive a multi billion dollar company publish this app.

    you may have entered the game after the patch gone live, or maybe we had to get the 5 donuts in case you havent achieved it. or it may have been bad luck

    The glitched happened on the 8th and was patched the same day. That morning, I woke up early at 3:30 AM (I had to get up at 4:30 AM for work, so this allowed for extra tapping), and the first thing I did after I noticed the glitch was to check the forum, where people were already talking about it.

    Sorry to those who missed it.

    How has track cost you money?



    Rushing the prizes using doughnuts. Here I am rushing all the acts so I can build tons of rails and don't have to wait 1 year to have a fully built monorail in my town. And then some people get this glitch and they get duplicates of stations and free tracks while the rest of us pay money if we want those stations and tracks oh wait we will never get duplicate stations cause you can't buy them. And do you think EA would go back and removed added content? My hunch is no.

    The people who received the glitch paid a lot of money for the extra tracks. You only got the glitch if you were finished and already had the Railyard. You needed to have spent a lot of donuts to achieve this. So there was no lost to you at all. This was a beneficial glitch for those who spent a lot of donuts.
    Also they fixed the glitch days ago. So I don't know why you still thought it was available.



    And I did I have the rail yard for 2 days that means Sept 8 2015...

    I agree it can be some what frustrating, but it's no different then when someone gets extra unique items or basically any gain that comes from a glitch. That's just the breaks. Hopefully, you'll benefit from the next glitch. I still don't view it as a loss. Some people were fortunate, and some were not, what can you do. I really can't see how EA could rectify/fix this problem, because it was a glitch that some people benefited from, either they give everyone extra tracks or take away the extra tracks, if there is a way to tell how many extra tracks each person earned. From what I've gathered, not everyone received the same amount of items. Nevertheless, either way people will not be happy.

    This game is full of glitches, some are beneficial, most are not, but you cant let it get to you. Plus, since getting the Rail yard, earning tracks is easier and faster than before, plus with the Ahead of the tracks tasks, I'm gaining a lot of tracks in a short time period.



    Thanks It just ticks me off
