Maybe they are trying to fix the server problems many people experience. They might be low on staff and focusing all their time in fixing the problem. Could have at least give us an update though..
Look, I'm really sorry to tell you that server stability isn't rocket science. The only reason the servers aren't stable for our connections is that EA won't spend the money for the infrastructure, and maybe has even cut back their spending and capacity for the game. If they were doing all that work on it, from a marketing standpoint, it would behoove them to promote that, but they haven't, because they aren't.
After the last update takedown, the App Store description mentions a harvest holiday (or a sinister showdown) for what’s next. I’m incredibly disappointed about no Halloween, but my best guess is they are just going to do some type of Fall update that will probably include thanksgiving and possibly some sort of nod to Halloween? Either way, it would be nice to get some type of official word about what’s happening.

Has EA *ever* put out "official word" of *any* TSTO event before it hits the server?
Seriously, I don't follow EA (or any company for that matter) on any form of social media, so if it doesn't show up in the play store description or on this forum, I'd never see or hear of it.

They use to on Facebook but its been a while since they've announced everything on there.
Does anyone remember the episode tie-ins that were launched on a weekend? There was one with guinea pigs and one with Homer graves. I hope they're holding off to do one of those before launching a shorter Halloween event. Not giving up hope.
I hope we can get a Halloween update.
I have a lot of land that I would like to fill in, I have Golden Goose Records which allowed me to get land tokens.
I've been checking my app store for new updates every hour.
Still nothing, huh? This is like waiting in the ER at 3am on a early Sunday morning.
The circumstances are leading me to wonder:
- is the suspense intentional to make us extra anxious? They haven't commented on FB in weeks.
- is it tied to the episode and therefore waiting for the premier to air, to provide context and not reveal ep. spoilers?
- is it partially a Thanksgiving themed event? which would probably be confusing for ROW players, but certainly not out of character for TSTO
- are they waiting for leaves to turn color IRL?
- is it related to daylight savings time?
- why is the sky blue? Why is Marge's hair blue?
No TSTO and no beer make tappers something something!
Seriously though I'm hoping it's tied to the show. It is a milestone.
The sky is blue due the the water droplets in the air that act as prisms separating the spectrum so that we get the blue color.
Marge seems to have suffered a nasty henna rinse accident when she was a baby, like Greg in the final episode of the "Brady Bunch" or Dean Stockwell in "The Boy with the Green Hair".
I just realized that maybe we are all overreacting.. the 2019 treehouse episode is slated to air on the 20th of October so I think the update will come after that. I mean if they want to include elements of the episode in to the update that they cant release it before the actual episode, right??
False.
Anytime TSTO released items from a current episode, it was BEFORE said episode airs, that way when you complete the quests a message would show plugging the upcoming episode. Sorry but that's how they always done it.
Obviously not this time. They are obviously not releasing anything this week.
idk.....maybe this entire time they've been rebuilding the entire UI of the game again? Maybe editing the storage etc? Adding new elements.....maybe thats why its taking a lifetime to get it out?

🤔
What if the Cthulhu event was the Halloween event and we didn't even realize it?!?
Then everyone would cry because it was not a major event.
