For us that played last year, we get a leprechaun statue or a 120 donut * bar with a * leprechaun. What Terrible update. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse. Well played EA. Nice of ya to do this to the old players that made this game as big as it is for ya.
... 120 donut wonderful cafe you mean and a weee little leprechaun. Don't forget the shamrock topiary you got to love those beauty's. And you can't get any worse that getting something, well played EA. As an old player (really an old player) thank you for giving us this little update.
While I won't say I LOVE this update, I will say that I appreciate it. All the content is new for me since compulsive tapping didn't start for me until Whacking Day event last year. Also the ability to place Valentine's items in Krustyland shows that EA is indeed listening.
I suspect the sub par updates since the beginning of the year have been do to EA trying to fix things. If such is the case, I can definitely wait around as I would very much enjoy a game that is stable with fewer bugs.

I had bought the bar last year, but didn't get the leprechaun, I sure was excited when I saw I could now get two! I absolutely love new characters and i only have about 62 days left until Brandine has her brood which will be exciting too.
Now I'm really hoping for Wacking Day again, and with more new items. I thought this was a fantastic event and I hope to have it back.
Ya, how dare EA not have a huge update for such a major holiday here in the states? I'm being sarcastic of course. There sure is a lot of entitlement issues on this forum today.
It's pretty bullsh1t that the people that alrdy had the pub an Flanagan don't really get anything new or worth it this update. Thumbs down.

Take it to the sticky for add me requests, your thinly disguised attempt to comment has been seen through... lol Seriously add me is at the very top of the page, you will be turning down people down within a very short time.
As for this minor event update, yay, I get the pub, tom o'flannigan or whatever he's called, two leprechaun's a statue, a bush and something called donuts on 17th March coool EA :thumbup:

I'm good with this update, not sure about the green water. A neighbour has their Springfield setup like Venice so no roads but plenty of rivers. I went in this evening and had to get my sunglasses out But I got two leprechauns two buildings tom o'flanders or whatever he's called a statue and a bush. What's not to like
This would have been a nice little update if it had happened last year. I'm very disappointed that those of who played last year and got the pub didn't get a new in game cash building this year. I'm glad newbies got the pub but where the hell is my new building that doesn't cost doughnuts??????? :roll:
Oy... know I will likely get flamed but I cannot keep it just in my head.
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.
I agree, just picked up some doughnuts and bought myself Leprechaun and wishing well and Leprechaun and caf?. I like these small additions, and I love the design of the caf?. I also enjoy tapping the leprechauns in my town. Well done ea, this update is pretty good. But still we need level 39, I am in KL mostly as have finished quests in main town.

I'm the same way I'm on Android as well and i can see that there is never gonna be an update that everyone likes, the same people complaining about there being no level 39 about half will be complaining about that level when it hits

Um..... I don't have everything available, but I am a long time player- update sux. Unless you are newer or a premium player. Middle ground people like me are who got left out....
And your right it IS revenue their after- that's why every update has something that costs donuts. Freemium players are not really the intended audience in that respect, premium money paying people are. And it's clear that's not the case.
All people are saying is maybe they could have thrown Something in for in game $$ that we want that wasn't from last year
I joined at the end of whacking day last year so I missed Tom O'Flanagon and his pub. I am so glad they brought it back I have wanted it for a while. And for in game money none the less. Thank you EA.

And not to argue...but there is a medium to complain about this. Go to the respective store (IOS/Android) where you downloaded the game and rate it. Rate it with your honesty and complaints. I know it's small potatoes, but if everyone did this, the game might fall to a sub par level that EA is unhappy with.
That "forum" is open to the world prior to even having it on their device. No big name company like EA wants to see a 2 star rating in the App Store. Maybe I am wrong, but it is a suggestion rather than always complaining.

Yes it's not!? Pleas tell me how you were horrified I always love a good scary story.
