Sorry but I mean...we had the possibility to buy new land but we are "forced" to occupy it building a lot of identical and unuseful building to get the extra prices. Ok, they are fine, but I think that one for a kind should be enough! What is that speculative overbuilding?
And also many people have a lot of $$$ but they are now turned unuseful...we have new currencies and at the rate they span you are forced to play continuously for hours.
Please consider that there is also people that can play once or twice a day!

It's not a race, you don't have to build the buildings. well maybe one of each, I think Cookie makes you. Use the new currency to acquire land instead, then move SF buildings there, just a thought, but you do not have go currency crazy unless you want the prizes.

alealeale73,
You have the land you wanted! I have over 500M in REV, and to look at my SH, you would never know. IT IS ALL IN STORAGE! My regular Springfield mansions are in SH, with still the crafting buildings, because once I found out Artie Ziff's mansion paid rent, I thought, okay, go for it, maybe the billionaire acres will too.

I think everyone want to get all prizes.But i don't want also all that building like 10 times the same,EA didn't give opportunity and it's meant some people never will get prizes after the lake...like me*(

It's OKAY. The prizes for all the trouble, aren't that great. I was so glad Artie Ziff's mansion paid rent...but it is really paltry. I'm not counting on rent from billionaire acres, and even so, am not sure I can spare the land for it.

no rent for B.A.

At least more land was added. What the hey. I am having some trouble remembering to even tap my own town. But I do feel (insinctively) that like other tappers (hopefully) that it will not be completely beyond the powers of speculation to have a Monorail between the two areas very soon.

Yeah personally I'm not that into it. I'm happy that it's really not time constrained either. I'm taking my sweet time and getting things done in my real life.

The way the currencies have been timed and their interdependence was not well planned IMO. Once I max out currencies I'm reluctant to spend them because of what a flipping juggling act it is to build back up again.

Yeah this is going to be a while. And I really don't care about the leader board either. That makes more sense for an event, not a permanent expansion. Won't everyone eventually be at the #1 position?

I agree, what is the point? The prizes aren't that great. Its too time consuming for the small tasks. They don't separate the icons of those working in SF and SH which is a pain and when it's all done, what do you have, just a bunch of buildings that do nothing and none of the characters will probably use them in future tasks.

They should of spent more time on expanding the tasks of the Springfield characters so more of the buildings that are in Springfield are used. My example. When Krusty is out doing something what does Mr. Teeny do, buys a pack of cigarettes and smokes them, buys another pack and smokes them and that it is it. My Mr. Teeny now has lung cancer. Lenny and Carl just work, go to Moe's. They're alcoholics now and need to go to rehab.

They really need to rethink this one through and maybe in the next update make some drastic changes.

Thank you! I've wanted to know that. So, if I were true to what I posted, I would now stop crafting - but...I can't stop! It is very compelling to watch the REV grow and grow.

Yes, exactly, but they want you to feel like it's an event, with things to do, to sustain interest in the game.
