Land tokens return control of the rate of expansion, to EA. Growth is limited, it always has been.

I hate it, but i understand why. It is what it is. Keep calm and tap on.

it's funny you claim the bolded, even though you yourself sought clarification on another site... and received explicit instructions on what to do, directly from someone who signed the nda, despite lpa saying that was "really the only thing we couldn't absolutely reveal".

It's all been badly handled

I didn't neglect Krustyland at all and only received 26 tokens. I only joined last year and had all the free rides, maybe my poor decision not to spend donuts to get the other rides but I don't have an abundance on donuts and wanted to use them in Springfield. I had maxed out my percentage with all of the extras and after all that I didn't need anymore land - there was nothing else to add. I needed money in Springfield so used my tickets there, didn't see the point in using the tickets to buy land that would sit empty. Went to Krustyland several times a day, collected my tickets, exchanged for cash, built up Springfield.

Did you mean that you joined the forum last year or did you mean started playing TSTO last year? If you meant the latter, you should still have plenty of land available for IGC. Do not use the free land tokens to acquire new land. Save them for the future when IGC is not an option!

I dunno. I have been playing for 4 years now, and have had a pretty tight SF, not an abundance of wasted space. If anyone wants to add me and give me suggestions acornthw859, I’m up for it. But I have a very tightly manicured town and would have loved the ability to get 100 free tiles from Krustyland and not just 20. Just saying EA, that’s not really fair.

So the people who worked their butts off opening up KL should get the same amount as someone who never bothered with it? Thats supposed to be "fair"?

Honestly, there probably isn't a "fair" way to do it, but I think what they did was reasonable. You got exactly what you had. Seems pretty "fair" to me

Well I think they should have said, he guys Krustyland is going to be gone. For every square of land you have, you will get a land token in SF. People would have got on it and bought land. To not tell anyone that this was the case until it’s too late is yes, not fair. I didn’t completely open up KL because I got all the items and didn’t need to bother. But if I had known we would get free land, of course I would have opened it up. I’m just saying if I had been given the choice to buy land I would have bought it, but I was NOT given the choice to know I needed to do this to get free land tokens.

My story is similar to yours except I managed to get the 100 tiles. I was desperate for more land also. I almost stored some of my painstakingly designed areas in order to free up some land. Luckily for me, I read this forum regularly and was tipped off about needing to acquire all of the KL land squares before nuking. I wouldn't have got anywhere near 100 otherwise.
I really feel for ya. I would feel the same way. They really should have warned people. I can picture them having a good laugh over it while knowing full well how desperate we are for land with the recent miserly distribution of land tokens.

You didn't purchase all the land- a neglect of krustyland- and only got 26 tokens due to this. All land purchased there = tokens when it was imploded

I'm actually doing alright on land tokens. I have been playing pretty much since the beginning and had all of the krusty land land. Before the KL land, the land was hard to come by. I had to keep my event areas somewhat compact. Now after spending a bunch of tokens for my SF KL, I have 96 tokens left. I feel like a king, I don't know what to do with all them tokens :D

They're only good for one thing.

Not happy. I only got 20 land tokens. Wish I got 100.
