Limited Time Offers

I don't think they will come back. I started playing right after Halloween and haven't seen the Duff Racer offered. Some are tie-ins to shows, like the Cool Brown House and skin and they won't be back.

But you will have new things that people who have not found the game yet will get. And, Gil will give you some sort of deal but it'll be different than previous ones.

  • If it does come back it kinda defeats the meaning of Limited offer lol But limited doesnt mean it not gonna be returned!

    Anything is possible :D
  • I think nearly all of it will return except cost money this time. As I've said in the past, limited time =\= 1 time only. And since EA is a business and likes to make money, re-selling missed content next season to a year's worth of new players who missed it would be a great way to make money. It's basically all profit with no overhead as they're already designed and implemented the characters and other items.

    So far, no limited items have been available again. I do have hope that they do something, but that hope is based on nothing. Only time will tell.


    Basically this, until we see a limited time offer come back we can only hope that there is a chance they might, but I dont think anyone knows for sure


    I'll ask the oracle to see if she know anything that may help :P lol

    As somebody said earlier halloween will be the tester to see if anything comes back for the people who dont have these limited offers


    The Architect says that this will cause to many anomalies and crash the matrix... I mean EA....


    Oh god... Matrix tapped out anyone?


    As long as EA doesn't make it lol


    EA don't have the technology to make a Matrix :lol:
  • IMO, it decreases the value of the items. I missed the Duff Racer and would love to have it - but that's the beauty of the game (amongst many flaws). Certain things are "collector's items" that are rare and one-time only - I think it's cool when I go to someone else's town and see something different; things I missed.

    As I said, I would love to have the stuff I missed (Duff Racer, Halloween stuff), but I like the idea of stuff being rare - a bonus/gift for those who are playing at the time. It's kind of a reward for the people who have been playing longer than everyone else.

    I feel exactly the same way.
  • If EA believes they will make money by bringing them back, they will be back. They do not care if people want to feel special with their limited time items. That's the bottom line. He'll, even if EA had called them one time items, they still would return if EA felt there was money to be made. Someone has to pay the bills. If they do not make enough money then this game will be finished rather quickly, so start praying that the older stuff does come back in donut form so that people will rush to their credit cards.

    Limited time offers will not return. If you take a look at character sets, everything is organized by categories (example: bullies, C list celebrities, etc). Kang is located in a section called treehouse of horror XXV or whatever it's at. So therefore Kang and a few others are definitely not coming back if they are listed like this.

    At least they can focus on new content. I definitely don't want old items coming back and having new players attain them.


    None of this post made any sense. But "cool".

    Makes perfect sense to me. Don't really care whether or not the content comes back, however I think that most of it will not.
