Mini Events
There has been plenty of speculation over the game ending over the years. In the old days, we would hold our breath between level updates (sometimes taking months for an update), and recently waiting...
Forum Discussion
I think the "demise of the game" exists only in the minds of people who keep saying it's dying/dead. I'm just rolling along business as usual, enjoying the game as much as ever, possibly even more than ever.
Why? How am i so satisfied? I'm always surprised when people want to bash me, rather than join me in trying to maintain optimism. But I'm earning money fine, earning more donuts than ever, getting plenty of new content, will certainly not be crying for more land anytime soon, and just need to deal with the item limit which has ALWAYS been the same little nuisance. I'm over the KL migration, now that I've rebuilt a new KL I'm happy with, and i expect to keep taking whatever they dish out.
So far it seems like they've been trying to deliver whatever we want.
We wanted a "collect all"...
We wanted an "area select"...
We wanted a "task all"...
We wanted less repetitive crafting...
We wanted less random prize awards...
We wanted more land...
We wanted a greater zoom out...
We got all those things, in some form or another. I think the only thing we haven't got, that we've asked for as long as i can remember, is the Just Stamp The Ticket Guy. I'll wait patiently for that too.
As far as the "demise" of this forum, well that's on US. I start new threads to encourage group participation very frequently. Participation by others just isn't what it used to be. The last thread i started was simply to ask others to express their dreams for their town. It got quite a few views, but less than 20 replies and only 4 likes.
The last two times i tried to host a contest they flopped because <5 cared to participate. The last time i even asked about a contest, no one answered. I try to get people to share designs in the Showcase. I try to get people to share their KLs. I've tried starting games and conversations in OT. And I'm always trying to get people to share optimism for the game, but i get shut down. So yeah, I've decreased my participation significantly, because i feel pretty unwelcome here. I'd love to see a resurgence of community enthusiasm. But it seems like everyone here is standing around with their hand out, waiting for EA to provide some miracle that will hit them like a dose of X. I think expectations are far too high, but heaven forbid i ever say THAT to anyone directly, or even indirectly.
Idk how to make things better for the community. I wish I could. My efforts have failed.
