I've figured out what "unsolved murder" means

They're talking about how EA has murdered my interest in the game. And guess what, I solved the mystery. It was through another terrible update.

First off, they melted the Ice God. It was predictable that the new snowmen would melt as the others did, but at least their heads are recognizable. The ice god is just a puddle now. He takes up space and cannot compliment my Buddhist Temple anymore.

Of course anyone's free to build his or her SF as they see fit, but the ice god never was a complement to the Buddhist temple because it's a Hindu god. Also, the puddle version is a perfect fit next to the ice rink or parked in front of Barney's Snow Plow.

Second, the grass seems way to green.

Totally a matter of opinion, doesn't bother me, and IMO doesn't equate to EA "murdering" the game.

And most important, after months without a level update, we finally end this wretched X-Mas update which seemed to drag on forever, and we got nothing from it. No new land/characters/buildings/decorations.

So you didn't collect ANY of the individual or community prizes? You didn't get anything from the wheel? You didn't get the Yes Man, you didn't get the Elf House (which still generates $$ and XP), you didn't get the Christmas tree, the reindeer...need I go on? We actually got a LOT from the update, even if you remove the wheel from the equation.

EA, you're losing me fast. Very fast.

Is that a threat, or a promise?

You'll never stop playing because you clearly find great satisfaction in being dissatisfied with the game and then posting dissatisfied rants here. You are most definitely getting something you like and value from this game: a bottomless spit n' vinegar refill. :roll:

Referring to the quote in red. Josh is not talking at all about the Christmas update. He's writing about the update we got yesterday. He clearly explained that but for a few people, they've confused the issue.

Why be so nasty about what he wrote? Are you happy with no level up to 38? The last time we got a level up was in October during Halloween. I too am losing interest in the game because of this. I know there are a parade of people in the forums who dislike me, I'm not trying to win a popularity contest. I'm just amazed at how people stick up for EA. The fact that it's the PREMIUM players who make it possible for this games success, we have every damned right to hold EA's feet to the fire.

(By nasty, I mean the overall tone of your post. It's really obvious that you didn't understand one, single thing he wrote because you couldn't possibly think that he was wrong on every one of his points and the dig at the end... Nasty.)
