Kozzi says goodbye
Greetings, fellow Tappers. This is just to let any current and former Neighbours here know that I’m tapping out. I’ve been playing since late 2013 — I arrived at the tail end of the Thanksgiving event that year — and for the most part it’s been an absolute blast. I’ve loved spending time on the old Forum and have had the privilege of chatting to some wonderful people (especially on The Good Morning Thread waaay back in the day), and visiting your towns was a constant source of inspiration for my own meagre efforts.
But the end signs have been apparent for a while — incomprehensible changes to the inventory that made redesigning a nightmare; the increasing frequency of crashes; events that merely copy a template that is well past its use-by date; and, by far the most frustrating of all, the inability to tap your towns each day. There was once a time when you could report a bug like that and it got fixed; now it seems EA just doesn’t care.
Black History Month is the first event in these six-and-a-bit years that I’ve been unable to complete without using donuts — and I’ve played them all — so I figure that’s as good a sign as any that it’s time to call it a day.
So to all my Neighbours past and present and to everyone I’ve ever had the pleasure of chatting to, thank you all so much for a wonderful ride. Take care of yourselves, OK?
