Once Upon A Time...

We had spectacular events. We joined together as a community to earn special prizes. We all freaked out that they were unachievable and EA always gave us a somewhat last minute update so we could win each and every awesome prize.

Once upon a time we had great fun visiting our neighbors and helping them with each event. Leaving eggs, presents, protecting them from super villains.

Once upon a time the events were so big and filled with so many layers. Remember the Terwilliger’s? We couldn’t get through an event without the help of many on the forum.

I never thought I would say this, but I miss crafting. I miss the in-depth forum conversations and strategy talk. I think the xp collider was a mistake. I think EA should have done more to shutdown the reddit people. I think this is our fault. How many actually buy donuts. Is it all KEM farming? I still buy donuts each event because I want the game to continue. I used to play everyday. Even when I was in the hospital. I loved it that much. I couldn’t wait for LPN to post what buildings/decorations were coming so I could start planning my designs. But now? I haven’t designed in over a year. I haven’t opened my game in 7 days. I’m sad. I began abandoning my town because life got busy. But there’s been nothing exciting to bring me back. I’ll continue playing until the end. Hopefully something exciting will happen to spark my creativity and begin designing again.
  • This game is getting so boring not sure how much longer I can put up with it. I’m just collecting the prizes and dumping them as there is nothing new to decorate with. In the past we had lots of new decorations specific to the event to earn and use but even that has gone.
  • Agreed
    If crafting is no longer available at least expand the store and sell us old craftables.
    I wouldn't mind if it was for igc or doughnuts.
    Could even add them to the vault rotation.

    I think its not that there's less excitement, there's probably a similar amount, its just that less people are using forums nowadays for one main reason, that is to say, toxicity. People are still excited, they just don't show it in the same ways anymore.


    How do you know that people are still excited?
  • Once in a while, i purge neighbours who are inactive for >1 month. I'm down to 20 active neighbour, and there is 1 who still occasionally visits me. And there are many neighbours whom have ZERO buildings for me to tap on even though i have 3/3 Actions available to perform. I dunno how this happens...

    What was this drama about?

  • @woyaodabian visiting neighbors is glitched. Here is just one thread about it.

    They might not be visiting because they have nothing to tap in your town

    Most likely Reddit's *Free Donuts* from a few years ago, although @happyone2323 may be referring to something else? @woyaodabian

    Hi, I'm personally suffering from the nothing to tap bug as my wife, and eldest both play the game and when they visit they see nothing available to tap even though I have hundreds of buildings that are tappable the only thing they can tap is the graffiti buildings, when I visit my wife everything is fine but visiting my eldest I too can see nothing in their Springfield tappable, hopefully they will eventually fix the issue but suspect that it isn't a priority ( as in don't expect anything soon ) because they don't seem to be either able to or know how to fix a rather nasty glitch that has been around over 2 years and breaks multiple parts of the game. :( :(
