So... everyone who hates the updates is long time players? The same people who have already bought evert avalable premium item and you're mad you're getting nothing for free this time?
Guess what.... you're not EA's target player for this game anymore.
In the freemium system, it is all about keeping the new people happy, so they continue to play and spend. If you've already got everything and have given them all your money and have nothing new to buy, the company is really done caring about you. It's the way businesses work now. Sorry... it just is how it is.
I was not a player last year - Android girl (hey! At least all you iPad players can laud your Mapple store over me!). Like with other events since I started, I am glad to see things from previous year's events come back so I can have them too. And I am hopefully they will continue to do this so new friends who have become players since post-Halloween can also have the chance to get these things too. It keeps them happy and playing, it keeps me with good neoighborinos.
But the true aim of the people running a game like this... bring in new revenue. And that means you have to keep the new people who can still spend happy until they too have spent all they can spend and they're not what you are focusing on anymore.
Um..... I don't have everything available, but I am a long time player- update sux. Unless you are newer or a premium player. Middle ground people like me are who got left out....
And your right it IS revenue their after- that's why every update has something that costs donuts. Freemium players are not really the intended audience in that respect, premium money paying people are. And it's clear that's not the case.
All people are saying is maybe they could have thrown Something in for in game $$ that we want that wasn't from last year
Meaning besides the Leprechaun Statue which is new. We get 5 free donuts Monday maybe they will give a free gift as well. I'd feel the same if I had last years stuff I'm a premium player but Id rather that they focus on fixing the wrong town glitch then a big update atm
It would be awesome if the free gift was The Northern Irish leprechaun but I doubt will be that lucky
