I got too excited about the update, and jumped into it without coming here to the forum first. That was stupid, and completely my fault. I nuked Krustyland without using up any of my remaining tickets to buy new land - when the game said "nuke" I assumed it was just a traditional nuke, as I've done to Springfield a couple of times already. I had no idea it would be permanent!I never really worked much on KL, and that's also my fault. I thought it was boring and gave up on it not long after the story stopped pushing me to do so. As a result, I only got like 30 land tokens when I converted KL. Did I just lose out on a massive trove of the only real IMPORTANT currency that is left in the game?I've learned how to KEM farm, so doughnuts are not a major obstacle (and I still throw EA some cash every now and again). I've built a (smallish) house farm, so money is not a real obstacle either. I'm patient, I understand how this game works. Land tokens are the only thing remaining that there is no way to grind out, so far as I know. Each new event seems to want to add LARGE buildings, and space is at a premium.So what I want to know is this - am I screwed? Missing out on 70 land tokens from not optimizing KL is a HUGE penalty. Is there going to be a way to grind out the remaining land tokens I missed out on, or did I just give myself a massive and permanent handicap in this game?

Yeah you loss out on a lot of land.

I only got 30 tiles myself (9 filled automatically on cash land tiles) and 21 land tokens. It's no big deal, but it seems like a pretty fundamental piece of information that EA decided not to make known.

It's the spoiler that would have been worth knowing

I did the same thing...I avoid spoilers and so missed this tip. I could have easily bought all of the land, because I had a huge number of tickets saved up. I wish this tip hadn't been buried in posts labeled as spoiler posts....it wouldn't have been a spoiler (at least in my mind) and I lost out big on this one. (It didn't help that the event started on a day when I was feeling very sick, so I was acting more rashly than usual.)I hate being forced to lose Krustyland and shove this stuff into precious Springfield land. I already have enough amusement areas in my Springfield. And we're back to forced crafting of stuff we might not want to get to stuff we might want (and to get the necessary bonus bumps). Also, why are my Krustyland buildings and tourists still earning Krustyland tickets? What good are those now??There have been events I've not been too crazy about before, but this is the first one I dislike to the point of being willing to say that I hate it.

Did I just screw myself out of dozens of land tokens?

You are earning Krustyland tickets because you can still purchase Krustyland items. In your purchase menu there is a group for Krustyland. When you go to it you see how many tickets you have and what you can buy, which includes the parking lots that have proper sixed cars in them when you tap them. You can click on the Krustyland entrance to check you bonus for grub etc.

Sorry you hate this, really I am, because its a radical permanent change. Personally it has kept me playing as boredom with same old same old had hit and I was drifting away. I see this as hands down the best event since I started playing. ( pre Clash of Clones ) and I see months of organizing and merging areas.

I do feel sorry newer players. They will always be many land tokens behind, with no way to catch up.

By the time they catch up there might more ways to earn tokens. It's the players that had already bought all land and are short on space I feel for.

If you bought all of the KL land then you got an equivalent amount of land tokens. Mind you, if you were close to the item limit then you might not be able to move everything anyway.

You are right that there may be ways to earn more tokens in the future. I would hope so. When we built KL you could go pretty much as fast as you were willing to grind. Now you have wait until EA doles out tokens, one by one, with potentially days or weeks in between. I think that would frustrate the heck out of me.

Yes it's been ridiculously slow with the tokens, six per big event is pretty pathetic.
I was pretty lucky I had all the land before I nuked. I can thank my inability to look at unfinished tasks for long lol. I still have room to play with, but I'd prefer if I could've just bought all the land, now it's all uneven.

I wonder how many people asked for a rollback just to get back in KL and work on more tokens?

I feel this was a failure of the NDA that EA had various community leaders sign in exchange for advanced information about this event. This is exactly the kind of thing that people should have been warned about in some fashion but in the end I don’t think we really got any useful help out of it. Maybe we did and I just missed it.

advanced information.... man, what a joke. we didn't learn anything ea couldn't have told us in a facebook teaser. doesn't even seem like the people who signed it are in agreement as to what is allowed to be shared.

I don’t say this to sound mean-spirited, but, speaking just for myself, if the advanced notice of an event isn’t going to be accompanied by any useful info on how to prepare for it, then I’d prefer not to see the teaser at all and just be surprised when the event drops.
