    The list is starting to even out

    Free stuff still outweighs the premium stuff

    Daily player since Oct.2013.
    Wait until you see my town.
    Not only will you get ideas for your own, but it will be one of the best, most creative and organized towns you've EVER seen! That I promise.
    Now I may not be able to add you immediately as I have max friends, but if you are willing to wait for the add, you will be happy you did. This I also promise. I do have some friends who have stopped playing, so I will be adding friends on a first come first serve basis right now.
    Just know that I remove friends as soon as they stop playing and add one from the pending list so that my entire friends list remains active.
    Happy Tapping Tappers!

    I've just learned that on the 14th of February we were given a free some-kind-of teddy bear. I missed it because I didn't log in that day. Any chance it will come back? Since I'm a completionist I hoped it would have been made purchasable with donuts, but with the Superhero update I lost my hopes. This is the only item which I currently haven't got, beside the two Easter baskets which disappeared after last year's event but will sure come back this year.

    There's currently no way of obtaining the Sir Love-A-Lot decoration now that the Valentine's event has ended. It may return next year for the 2016 Valentines event.

    The only thing that bugs me about the premium content is that some of them should not be in the premium content at all, such as the burning bush, white fence, flower pot, apple tree, etc. that is so stupid to make people spend more money on those little things that should have been in the free "pay with game cash" area

    AMEN

    Funny, I was just discussing this with SO tonight and how people always say EA is evil. I think what they are doing is quite genius really. I mean they have this cool free game to offer with the option to spend real money to buy premium items, let's face it the majority is gonna want those items and spend the money. I bet a large percent of people who have bought donuts even said the first time "just once" then it turned into two, three, four times and so on..... EA knows this and they are smart, they know how to sell a "free" game. I don't regret spending money on the game, I enjoy it and if I feel an item isn't worth the money/donuts I just don't buy that item. Anyways happy tapping!

    I would GLADLY pay a dollar for all of the premium items I wanted (and I want most all of them) than $10-$20+ EACH. Wouldn't they make more money charging less for each item? They certainly would off me anyway.

    They would actually make less. A LOT less
