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. Second, the grass seems way to green. 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. Nothing. I barely check once a day anymore. Did you know that since I began playing this game last X-Mas, for the first time ever I actually missed a day last week and had my daily bonus reset? That has never happened to me before.

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

totally agree with you. Really cheesed off with the ice god. Took me over 137,000 gift cards to get it and had it for less than 24 hrs before it melted. Have set all my characters on 24hr tasks so I don't have to visit so often because of the awful green. Will keep an eye on here for updates. As for removing the friends option from the apple devices that just sucks. How can you send people an invite now? That happened with another game I play and I just gave up on having neighbours. It was just too much effort to add or remove them.

EA is losing Josh fast. Oh the humanity! I guess fast in Josh's world is over a year considering that's how long he's been complaining. He does seem slow so that makes sense.

this is now the second post from Josh that i am in complete agreement with... what the hell is happening to me?

I got the Ice God on the evening of the 13th, so it was in my SF for a grand total of about 18 hours before it turned into a puddle.... ace.

What an original post.!you do understand that not once has josh personally attacked any member of this board. Thrown cheap shots, or made bullying comments like you have done here. As far as I'm concerned it's people like you that attack others personally are the ones that should be banned.

If this was your feeble attempt at some sort of humor, you failed miserably.
Keep trying champ.

yes I get fed up with the sniping comments about people. Everyone is entitled to their opinion without being insulted personally because of it. Attack the post not the poster.

Has EA made any guarantees with their updates? Way too much assumption leading to claims of what people are owed. You're not owed bupkiss.

The whole wheel thing smacks of greedy and ungrateful little children. If you spent donuts on it - tough. You had the choice and you made it. I spun it and got all the things I needed and didn't overstretch when it came to neighbours or leaving the Springfielders out looking for Homer and Lisa.

If I'd spun and got nothing, I'd have got on with my life because the game doesn't guarantee me anything. (And I say this as someone who goofed and didn't buy Mr Sparkle. I goofed. My bad. Not EAs.)

It's luck. That's been said time after time after time. And yet we're still seeing threads referencing this.

Personally, it's not EA making me not want to play the game, it's coming on here to get some info or tips and seeing what feels like hundreds of SEPARATE threads (seriously, does there really need to be individual threads for each sob story??) whining about a FREEMIUM game.

Get over yourselves.

Totally agree, man. Ea owe us nothing. I'm just happy to have a game that compliments the awesome TV show that I've been watching for 26 years. If I spend money on a gamble, it's just that - a gamble, it could go well or not so well. It's the same reason I don't play with much money at a casino. When you gamble, expect to lose it.. and really, that's probably a good take home message for all of us :D

considering they have made 100 million+ in revenue out of the game i would say it wouldn't hurt them to throw us a bone every once and a while..

besides the snow god melting into a useless puddle (which many people only unlocked right at the end) we've been waiting on level 38 for quite some time.

it wouldn't hurt them to release updates more regularly even if it's just questlines or skins for one character it at least gives something to the community to do..

You do know that they are two different religions right ?

Same religious symbols. Show me the Hindu Temple in this game. If you can't, then go away.

Absolutely agree. I fail to see how EA owe anyone anything. You choose to play the game, which is for all intents and purposes a freemium game. You choose to spend money on donuts. EA don't hold a gun to your head and tell you to. EA never said everyone would get every prize on the wheel of FU. It was just a silly little bonus thing for the Christmas update.

And moaning about a tiny little ice sculpture melting, well - do people have nothing better to do than complain and overinflate their sense of self entitlement?

If things bother you that much, then maybe you would feel much better if you just deleted the game?
