New Community Prizes LANDMARKS
Cool. Guess EA thought the bar was set too high. I still think it will be a challange, though.

I am kinda creeped out by how close this may turn out to be.
I am kinda creeped out by the thought that there's someone out there who has more obsession with this game than I do.
(Awesome data, though. Thanks!) :)- Great news! :D So is there a chance now for candy cane cooling towers!?

So instead of making an unlikely goal EA lowered the requirements?
So Josh and Herd who thought they were going to charge us donuts for the final prizes we failed to get are wrong.
That also disproves the notion of a fake counter. If the counter is fake and they want to give us the prizes, why change the milestones?
I love this post it does many wonderful things. Thanks spanser.
^^^^^^^^ Has a HUGE man crush on Josh. Just admit it buddy. It's almost 2014, we won't judge :wink:- Come on spAnser, admit it: Those were the landmarks right from the start, and you only published different numbers on your website originally to see this forum go stark raving mad.

Nope, I stand by my original theory, that the counter is fake. Didn't you notice how the community total suddenly, mysteriously lurched forward to the tune of about 100 mill just at the time the totals to reach each community prize were changed?
I've also noticed that no matter what time of day or night I happen to log in, that community counter keeps ticking upward at exactly the same rate. Like something that's totally automated, and has nothing to do with players' actual behavior.
But whether I'm right or wrong about that, this much seems like a pretty safe bet: we will be getting all of the community prizes. :mrgreen:Excruciator69 wrote:

Even if it doesn't outright disprove it it is a huge argument against it's existence.
Your observations could be explained by a lot of different things. What we actually know says an awful lot.
Answer this, please: If EA is using a fake counter, why bother changing the milestones since they could just manipulate the rate of the fake counter to match them?LPNintendoITA wrote:

I agree. I don't think we all suddenly started dropping gifts at a much higher rate.fastdan1 wrote:
