I can understand why folks who don't have that consolation prize would be cranky.

My water is green, but I don't seem to be able to buy anything, or place valentines items in Krustyland. Who triggers this event? All I have on task is Bart, Milhouse, Moe, and Luigi.

I can understand why folks who don't have that consolation prize would be cranky. Exactly. If you already have the Pub, all this update added is the leprechaun statue and a 120 donuts building. Though this is much worse than last year's Saint Pat update (1 free building + 1 premium building) this is pretty much inline with how EA usually does updates, eg 1 free decoration + 1 premium building.

maybe not the best ever, but i love it too. very happy

What a wonderful update. I completly love it, best update ever!

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.

The older players still spend money every time new content comes out. I bought the damn cafe but why shouldn't I also get a in game cash building like yourself. A company's goal is to not only bring in new customers and their money but to also keep their old customers coming back and spending money. So your theory on them only caring about new customers is seriously flawed.

Is it really that flawed? The new players are happy and you spent donuts on new content. You just proved it right.
You did pay in game cash for the building, just a year ago with a different quest. Maybe the new people should complain that you got to do a different quest then they did.

And Victoria is right, us longtime players aren't the target market anymore.

I for one am so happy I get to have O'Flanagan's Pub due to the fact that I started playing Mid November of last year. I've enviously seen it in many of neighbors towns. Happy it wasn't for donuts.

I started playing in June, so I didn't get the pub either, but I would have been willing to pay donuts for it. I feel like the developers would have made long term players happier by giving a new item for dollars and the old items for donuts, so if somebody really wanted them they would have to pay. As it is, I probably won't be buying either of the premium items. Although I may end up getting the cafe before the time is up.

You've made more sense then anyone else on here arguing over this update. I agree the pub should of been donuts because it is from last year and the cafe should of been cash, but they aren't so I see no point in arguing over it. I'll admit I bought the pub and immediately broke down and bought the cafe.

Hi that would be nice, the new player could get the pub with ToF which cost 1,900 and pay like 120 donuts, and get the cafe with leprechaun for like 1,900. (What's the difference) Then have all the people who bought the wishing well with leprechaun for 150 donuts complain that you can get the cafe with leprechaun for cash.

I'm meh on the green water, definitely different so it grabs your attention each time you load up the game, but definitely not better! It does take away from the heart shaped island I made for the valentine update, making it look like it's in a fetid swamp:

Finished didn't get anything new. That was the end of the quest, it just ends I thought it was going to say something else. Guess we will have to wait for the 17 to see what we get.
