Will they ever add "special characters"

In the family guy game they've added a bunch of characters of real celebrities, one of my favorite being Stan Lee.

I wonder if this game will ever get celebrity characters too. I think it would be an awesome addition to the game in my opinion.

Yeah, they're all pretty cool. Stan Lee, Patrick Stewart, George Takei, Nathan Fillion, Felicia Day, Ron Perlman, and Bryan Cranston are all pretty awesome additions to the game.

I don't play that game. Why do they do that? Is there a purpose for it in the game?

The FG game is running a month and a half long Comic Con event, hence all the celebrities. It's similar in approach to the TSTO events, where you collect stuff and once you hit set milestones are awarded items, characters, and buildings. It's pretty cool. I still preferred the Stonecutter event since I'm a bigger fan of the Simpsons, but Tinyco (the makers of the FG game) are knocking it out of the park with their updates.

For one, they update far more often than EA updates TSTO. The only downside to the FG game is that they release a huge amount of premium currency only items, and most characters/alternate costumes require you to collect various items before you can unlock them. In theory it's a good idea, but in practice it can be annoying, especially since many of the items are Rare or Extremely Rare and only drop after 4, 6, 8, 12, 20, or 24 hour long tasks, which drags out those tasks and often results in frustration for a lot of players.

Still, pretty cool game. But TSTO is still my favorite, even with the lack of decent updates.

That'd be brilliant! Both due to the episode and them being one of my all time favorite bands.

The updates suck. A bunch. The game focusses on clam buying players far more than Tapped Out does on Premium gamers. Goals in the other game unrealisticly high, 80% of the content has never appeared in the series, drop rates fir characters are horrible. Overall it is a really bad game.
