why can’t I chose where land becomes available

It would be a nice feature to pick but I don’t care. Free land is free land.

How about just open the land for free, just like that! Money used to be fun, working real hours ("psychological mind-brain game reward system") to spend small cash for cheap lands in order to feel satisfied that your real time was not wasted, but worthy. In the end, when it grew up to the cost of millions I simply began to lose interest to see myself going through such concept. Spending millions just to open a square of land, was not pleasing reward, while new players were very affected by it (I used to be one of them) in many forms and ways. Instead of using my cash for my own choices like town design purpose or keep the money for any emergencies, I was forced to buy that land with all the money I collected from the past days, weeks. If I wasn't buying the land, my town was too crowed, I couldn't advanced with the major events that required space.

Sure. Now we got rid of the land-cash system and we have the tokens, but in 2018 closing in to 2019 I really don't see why I should need any kind of options. Yes, of course, it was a little fun, you had something to do, to calculate, analyze what to do with your money, but things are moving forward and all I want now from EA to give free land every time when a mini or major event is being started. Now this, is the next option.

I'm not sure why EA is limiting our free land with tokens, when the land itself is not effected by the number of items, there is no way to fill that land with something new other than what you current hold until the next event starts, if the item limit is always present. The land is not effecting the game, if the land is already available in the game but only locked.

I want that free space that is locked right now, because when I want to design something, I need space and I usually have to move around a hunk of items to another place in order to have enough space for my design. If I don't have space to move them, I need to store them, but even that I can't do if most of them are with % or buildings who are related to characters,

No the map is good. Where people get their land is tied to how much they have already unlocked along the mountains.People that got it to the north of the zoo land probably had not bought all the land along the mountains.

The map i see with six vertical E x three horizontal E, is correct.

The old way was to unlock a strip along either the side or back. We built up to the edge, we anticipated future growth and could plan our designs. Then we chose which squares of the strip to unlock.

This new token method would have been fine if they didn't shove KL down our throats. The primary flaw was not giving us a 10x10 square of land the exact size of our KL. That forced all of us with a full KL to redesign and shoehorn in all the stuff we had, or abandon it completely, as i did. Now I'm just waiting for a piece of land big enough to rebuild. But with one token a month dropping, I've given up. It's very depressing as i loved my KL.

Meanwhile, since they now seem to like this "bonus zone" mechanism, they're forcing us to produce event zones (which i don't like) AND forcing almost everyone to put it in the exact same place on the grid. I didn't want my zoo by the mountains, did you? And before that, i didn't want KL or I&S stuff way back there either, which is why all I&S stuff is now in storage and KL stuff is scattered everywhere. And now that the zoo IS there, i don't want this haunted area we're supposed to build now, right outside the front gate of the zoo. I planned to build a parking lot there. This is stupid. My town used to be well organized and now it's a soup sandwich. =(

The bottom line is this method of land control SUCKS. Whoever is managing it needs to recognize how badly they've botched it, and just give us the rest of the land, or give at least a chance to acquire it with IGC again. It doesn't have to keep rising in price, it doesn't have to be expensive at all, but a cool $1M per sq is fair i guess. The item count limit controls the data base capacity anyway. So let it go already. Stop being control freak asshats. LET US DESIGN OUR TOWNS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

I would make all the land needed to square off the map available for IGC. Then I'd release a new section of land with each event. That section, would be our choice, a box that we could place anywhere on either side. The box would contain the same number of land squares, likely 9 at a time so 3x3 which i think they just gave us. This time it fits the bonus zone perfectly. Last time the zone was too big, remember?

Then WE choose where those 9 squares go. We choose where our new event area goes, if we even want one. (I rarely do) And tokens can still be earned and redeemed for individual squares instead of paying IGC. It doesn't have to be difficult. But that's hope they like to do things, because they're sadistic @#$&+!

mine ended up being south a ways for some reason.

My land is right next to the plot they have me last time. I'll live with it.

Mine too - at the very far right of my SF underneath the block of free land we got for the zoo event. The new THOH items would look great next to my existing spooky area, so I'll have to wait until I've got everything and then do a major shuffle around so I can place everything together.

updated

My new land did not follow the chart. My new 9 tiles were placed underneath the 9 tiles given during the Zoo update. The new Halloween tiles were placed in rows 4, 5 and 6 in columns 30, 31 and 32.

Mine was placed rows 7/8/9 and columns 30/31/32

Ya ok I tried to go by initial reports. I didn't get any of that my self actually

I'm in rows 2/3/4 in columns 23/24/25

I didn't notice at first.
