The Second Time Around?!

This time next year there will be a new ipad and new games.

I think this game might be around for a while. As long as they keep things fresh I plan to keep on playing.

GAH!

Took me forever to find this thread, I think it needs a different subject line because it's a good topic.

I also am curious what they plan for the next major holidays. As long as they continue updating, I plan on keeping going. I probably won't be as obsessive due to real life but I will definitely continue to be a daily player (barrng issues with the game or no more updates).

My son made me buy him all the Treehouse of Horrors on iTunes so I think there is still a ton of content available for Halloween. The one where they mocked Nightmare on Elm Street and made Willie into Freddie and the Lard Lad and all the advertisement coming to life and terrorizing the town come to mind. There is plenty of content.

I think Christmas may be a bit harder to make fresh and new.

I don't think they will remove what we already have but I have no idea how they would do Christmas different.

Mr plow. Send snowballs on neighbors. Yellow snow on neighbors :lol:. A theme involving a christmas calendar (each day something new). IceSkating. Snowstorm. Theres a lot of stuff to go around.

i was thinking about Mr. Plow too. I think snowballs would be fun. Instead of vandalizing neighbors, we could snowball their houses, that's a great idea.

LOL I think somebody monitors our posts. Not because I think we are all that but because if enough of us complain about something, it seems to be corrected in the next update. Yeah....I know....I'm just dreaming but hey we know there is a shadow moderator so it could happen.

What about the people who don't start playing until next year will they not get to have Christmas lights next Christmas? It will be interesting to find out what they will do.

I bet they recycle some old with some new.

That's a really good point. I think must of us just look at it from the POV of those who have been playing the whole time.

I'm all for recycling of old things! I missed out on the Duff car and want it. They need to give us the chance to get it (even if we have to earn it or buy it).

TBH I'm not sure the game will be that popular this time next year. Most games only have a limited lifespan before they're forgotten and everyone has moved on to the new best thing. I'm still enjoying it for now, but at max level it can be boring doing essentially nothing and there's only so many times you can redesign, not to mention it can be incredibly tedious.

Nonetheless there's still plenty they can do. I doubt they'd take away anything we've got so far. They introduced Kang on his own so they could easily introduce Kodos on her own next Halloween, and those of us who got Kang (not me, which I regret!) will have the pair. There could be an Ultrahouse 3000 facade for the simpsons house. A Rigelian (Kang and Kodos species) costume for Bart from when the parodied Avatar. As for taskless, npc characters/creatures they could give us Snake's toupee that makes Homer crazy in one of the Treehouse of Horror episodes. Other ideas include a Jack-in-the-box Homer, a donut-head Homer, Bart-fly, teleport machines, Bart's twin Hugo, a facade for Lard Lads.

Basically there is plenty they can add in without taking away anything from us. just like all the other limited time items, those who came late to the game just won't be able to get them.

Would be nice to see some incremental advantage. Like, if you have the Christmas decorations or Halloween graveyards from this year, next year they will produce more coins/zombies/whatever. Assuming we're all still playing that far from now :)
