Amen to that. They got 25 years of show to work with

there's still a lot of characters/buildings that could be released.. lionel hutz and the other lawyer the courthouse with the judge, the mob godfather, itchy and scratchy building with the creator, the bum that sued him (golden house and rocket car), the college with 3 nerds and the dean, apus brother, kent brockmans house and krustys clown college and house and literally heaps more that i can't be bothered listing. possibly even introduce shelbyville when they run out of ideas or have tie ins with Futurama and more expensive buildings like the giant toilet.

I somewhat agree with you, OP. I do think they still will be able to get new players, because going through the game from the beginning there is a lot of content avaliable to enjoy.It's only once you hit the highest level and have bought and decorated all the land that you start to get bored with it and speculate about which unimportant character will be released with the next level...Probably, a lot of long time players will drop the game once it get's a bit stale, but new players will still be coming in, allowing EA to re-release old content for events and maybe even bring back those sought-after episode tie ins, and that will keep the game interesting for new players while requiring minimal effort from EA.

I think I have read these kind of threads many times over on this forum. (I even believe the OP of this thread has started some of the others too). So I wonder, what is your point of making such a thread? (again?) Are you tired of this game? Do you WANT it to end? Is that why you want to spread bad vibes about the future? If anything, I think the writers of this game has shown that they can be quite creative. There is absolutely NO reason to believe this game will end anytime soon. People still buy loads of donuts, and the playerbase of this game is still very solid. So far, that is what counts. And people will continue to spend money on this game as long as EA releases new content. If EA keeps up with being creative in the way they are as of now, by making the items you can get, be something you have to work towards, people will keep their interest. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it is something new. Besides, we don't need new characters from the show with every update they make either. I like skins, and I can't see why releasing skins to the existing characters would be bad level updates. I'd even like a level update without characters, as long as it had some new decor, and some interesting quest dialogues. I'm more in this game for the humour than anything else. Though every event so far has been great fun, and is something I always look forward too! I think many people are with me in this, though I'm sure the OP has someone on his side too. Though, this game will continue for a good while, as long as EA keeps being inventive and creative. Because I think people in general loves the Simpsons, and will play this game as long as there is something in it to keep their interest. (And as long as the show still aires on television).

I'm so glad there still seems to be people giving out heat for no reason in these forums. Nice when people don't have any opinions, and the only thing that gives them any satisfaction is to try to walk all over other forumists. Please grow up! @HillyBillyOli: Nice list. I actually consider quite alot of those for being popular and well liked.

Honest Opinion on Longevity left in Game.

I started playing it because I liked building city games and working with the characters I already have.

I don't need 150 characters! And I don't need to constantly be recharged for an update to be interested in this game.

They are on the " new content=more paying customers" corporate scheme, so yea they may end it when its not as profitable rather than keep the game running for those of us who like to play it for game's sake.

I agree with you. Citybuilding games are fun. And I would like level ups that didn't do anything else than include some decorations, and perhaps a questdialogue involving the characters we already have.

Getting 150-200 characters seems a bit much, but with the character locater, it could still work out. Though I'm at a state where I actually would like more skins from now on, so that it won't be too many characters. It would also be fun if they incorporated some of the latest characters in some quests too, and not only the characters you unlock in the first 15-20 levels.

But releasing more decorations in the game should be something EA do. After all, isn't is all about making a nice and unique Springfield?

@maciesdad: I also agree with you.

I don't want it to end but at some point it will. I would like them to do actual episode dialogues and tasks, that would be cool. Like the simpsons get a pool or buy a motorhome for eg.

I don't know, I think it's more likely you get bored and stop playing before they stop making the game. The fact they put in the new features in this update only shows they are commuted to continue this game. I think the originality they come up with is fresh, and like I said this game is a cash cow and one of the top apps and has been since the beginning. We as game players may have some good ideas, but I can garunteenthey have notebooks full of ideas they are waiting to spring on us.
You don't have a profitable game like this by having stupid people build it. The character finder and the quick jump from town to town are 2 reasons why I think this game will be here for years. And they have barely scratched the surface of Krustyland. I say buckle in , we will be on this ride for awhiler
I hope so.

I recognise that they might have released most of the "main" characters but this really doesn't worry me, to be honest I prefer it when they release obscure characters (Yes Guy and Mr. Costington spring to mind). The more they scrape the barrel character-wise, the better the game is for me: there's so many one-shot characters I'd love to see (still no Don Brodka! Maybe next Christmas...)

As for buildings... I think we're safe for quite a while

As long as they take it slow and don't add too much characters at once it can keep going for a while (hopefully) and who knows what they could do when They are running out of characters and buildings, merge Futurama? :lol: probably not but that'd be cool

You'll never stop the simpson we've got stories for years coming out ofour ears. We're sorry for the clip show.

The game will go on forever, just keep buying donuts.

You know what else they could do? Release skins as how the Simpsons used to look in the first episodes! That would be awesome.

That's actually a great idea! Hope they do this!

They really need to incorporate more landscape though, like hills, different roads/paths,trees,houses. Just a bit bland as of late.

Who's to say they can't make NEW characters and NEW buildings and NEW scenarios... and the game can take on a life of it's own.
