Long time players, how long will you stick around with no new stuff??

I started a new town to counterattack the dissatisfaction I felt for the new mini-non-event format. I haven't abandoned my old town by no means, but the lack of events had robbed me somewhat from the enthusiasm I had when there were new items to get and things to strive for. Playing the game anew gave me back a lot of the enjoyment I've always had with TSTO. The town building has always been a major part of the appeal, and now I have two towns to design! Double the fun :D
I will be very disappointed if there will no longer be new content or events, but I doubt I'll stop playing any time soon.

@kromkromkrom has a great solution. Starting a new town opens the possibility of creating a new town (perhaps challenge yourself to purposely avoid - insofar as possible - any resemblance to your first town).

Starting a new town might also surprise you to realise just how hard it is to have no land and no money to purchase the building needed to progress through the next level.

At least, that's what I've been told. I've never had a second town, so I'm not what you could call an expert on this. .

I accidentally started a new game in anonymous mode a while back. I thought I’d logged into my account game and the new event was a re-nuking of Springfield. It took a moment for me to figure out what was going on and why I was looking at the Simpson house, Homer, and nothing else. I aged years in that moment.

ROFL. If I'd have thought that was a new event, my heart would have stopped. Then I'd have checked storage (assuming the icon was there at the very start of the game). Yikes. You just gave me a world-class shock. :o

So the dialog isn't "new content" for you? Seems new to me. I think of this game as an interactive comic strip. I read all the dialog and enjoy it. The items offered are also limited releases. So their return is welcome by people who have none to spare, and enjoy designing.

Collection of new items is just one facet of this game. Those fixated on it are obviously missing out on a lot of fun, at least judging from the excessive whine spilled lately

I'll idly stand by for new content until it ends

I have been playing since nearly the beginning and will keep playing until the game ends. I am changing all my roads to rainbows using the crosswalks so that will keep me busy for years.

They do this dumping of old items JUST before they drop a huge event. I predict a HUGE event is coming very soon.

When the MASSIVE event drops tappers will rejoice that the game is not dying any time soon after all.

And as soon as it’s finished and two weeks pass with no event, tappers will despair that the game is surely nearing its end.

I usually don’t even like the new stuff. All I want is to collect all the ol school characters that I actually remember from the show.
