While they may be correct this time, "chat tech support said.." and "EA says..." are not the same thing.

I saw the same thing. then I didn't.

maybe they're going to change it because of the bug or may be tech sup was bs-ing.

but I can hope

Yeah, I put very little stock in what EA customer support says. From what I've seen here on the boards, and my personal dealings with them, they seem to have very little idea what is going on with the current game, let alone the future of it.

The wiki listed the Gil deal as early access to give everyone (no matter their level) a chance at the deal before it becomes a leveled purchase.

Went online chat tech support, and they gave this response when I asked where's Gil?

The Gil promotion is permanently available to players who are level 60+ and have completed “Card Handy Pt. 8.” A player who purchases the promotion during the early access period will not see the promotion re-appear once they hit level 60.



So hopefully that's the ticket

I'm level 104 and have completed card handy pt 8 but still cannot buy Duff Gardens.

well that sucks. who'd ever thunk tech sup would get something wrong.... :P
oh well, i'm sure it'll turn up one way or another, sooner or later, if enough people complain

I hope it does return. I need those gnomes in my life!

I'm currently level 64 and I haven't been able to see it since it first appeared.

The "early access period" as I understand it, is that when new (premium) items are introduced, usually with a level required to "unlock," that level requirement is waived during the early access period (usually a couple of weeks) so players at lower levels can purchase new premium content. (Clearly, EA intends to negate this in the future, thus the move away from levels unlocking content.)

The Gil promotion being available permanently does NOT mean that it's just going to be in the store forever for everyone. It just means that it will normally be a Level 60 unlock with 7 days of availability once a player reaches level 60 (or possibly once they finish the level 60 questline, if the references to Card Handy Pt. 8 mean anything.) We are in the Duff Gardens early access period right now, which is why people who have not reached level 60 can purchase.

So. Probably SOL on this, which is a bummer because I definitely would like those creepy gnomes.
