Goodbye, cruel Springfield!

I too had the exact same problem as snake eyes at around the exact same time, and yes, it took just over the 4 week mark to get back to Springfield. All was going fine until the Easter update, two days into it, CRASH! The exact same problem, so these problems do re-occur, I can personally attest to that. As for my current situation, well, it's been since the 16th of last month and counting. So far I've all but completely missed out on the Easter update, but that should remedy itself in about 5 days. There's also been a level update, hopefully, items aren't limited in it? I too feel your frustration and have contemplated TSTO seppuku myself, but find I've invested way too much into it to simply just walk away from it. Curse this OCD! All in all, you should give it some time, like snake eyes mentioned, they are indeed two separate entities and hopefully it will mean they're putting more than just a bandaid on it. Good luck out there :)
