Is EA worried about finishing the available characters?

I doubt lack of charecters is the issue. They probably just want to focus more on content for newish players since the game is starting to age. The more noobs they can flip to the premium dark side, the longer they can keep this thing going. As the RTTF folks can tell you, it'll take a heck of a long time for a newbie to even get close to level 35 for today's update, let alone make it all the way to level 60.

Ahhhh memories of playing catchup. I remember when it was level after level update and once I was finally caught up there were glorious bells ringing... It really is fun to level up. No matter what game it is.


One of my fun level up times was wow with my undead warlock.


Then ok times were in cod but too my dismay you only got a icon showing rank.. So games li,e this I enjoy more with leveling. We were all noobs once.

Lol maybe they should have a mini event noobs vs old school tappers lol...

Although there haven't been Level updates, EA has still released new characters/buildings/etc.

Not at all. 27 years (?) worth of characters. They'll never run out.

Sara Wiggum is still missing....

Considering some of the "characters" they've used so far while ignoring larger, more important ones, I doubt it. But it does seem off that they're taking so long with level updates. Wondering if it's a start of the year thing, they're building fun new stuff, and giving us little things to tide us over. Most of the "mini events" are relatively simple from a production point of view.

Although this new tree thing is... odd. But it does torpedo the "tsto is ending crowd". This latest content has ZERO donut grabbing items. This is just content for contents sake.

Get the feeling that level updates may be phased out. I think the XP colider may have a lot to answer for.

Last level update was more than 3 month ago... Are they slowing down because worried about finishing the characters? Even thoug there are a lot not yet in the game... What do you think?

I think that over the last 18 months, the structure and mechanics of the game have changed. We all need to stop expecting/assuming that level updates and events are going to operate the way they did in 2013 & 2014.

I think we've gone through all the major recurring characters. The last one released (not counting Maggie) was Helen Lovejoy.

There are some other recurring characters with more character development like Constance Harm, Gloria Jailbird, and Julio but we're scraping bottom, bottom barrel and there doesn't seem much interest on these boards for them.

The new strategy for EA is simply to release popular skins because the characters left are ones non-Simpsons diehards will not recognize.

woah woah woah, we are no where near scraping the bottom of the barrel, if anything its a popularity contest and the "popular" ones have all been released making us FEEL like they're barrel scrapping.

and thats just kids, you still need martins parents, and yes of course Julio, the point is the barrel of popular characters main or otherwise is being scrapped but the barrel of Characters All Shapes and Sizes barely has a dent in it, somtimes our minds simply see what we want to see.

Is that "Just stamp the ticket guy" with a flower coming out of his head? yeah we need him too.

Have you seen the complete characters posters? There's no way they are near the end of choices there. But they do have to create and implement bringing them back to the game - which takes time.....

They also need ways to make managing 100+ characters easier. I couldn't believe I ever had that many, but then I counted and had gone way past that.
