For folks like me who missed out on iconic structures, such as Springfield Falls, because the game wasn't available on our device at that time, we started playing long after the item was given, etc, will there be opportunity down the line for us to obtain these items?
As for Halloween specifically, is there plans to change how the event rewards are won each year (seems like it is a different system for every holiday), or are you simply going through various versions and will eventually settle on a single method (one that works smoothly, earns less ire from players in general, etc)?
1. Wondering about the decision to cap the number of probes you can get from neighbours... especially after **** was criticized pretty widely because of the perception that is discouraged friend visits. Is friend visiting a priority for the game developers?
2. THOH 2013 rewarded those of us who had played in 2012 by having our previous Halloween items pay out extra gremlins. The only advantage this year was the single daily pumpkin from the pumpkin house. Don't you love us old timers anymore? Seems like grounds for a paddlin'...
3. Is it just me, or do the Rigellians REALLY seem to like Bouvier DNA? Secretly gathering it to reconstitute a playable Maggie, right?

i think i can answer that: they change the formula a bit every year so people dont get annoyed at having the same stuff every time. I would have loved to have the comunity prices this year too i loved them last year. Maybe for xmas?
How do you narrow down which season or seasons of THOH content to use each year? Could Homer get a paralyzing spider bite next year and there also be a WereFlanders?
Why the glibness about anti-semitism as if it isn't real or something to concerned about? Why is a joke about anti-Semitic slurs even part of the trivia question?
1. Would you consider doing some kind of a countdown on premium items so players knew when they were leaving the store? Halloween items are very popular (and I truly appreciate that you've chosen to release items from past events!) and I actually think you guys would benefit from a countdown so we could be sure to buy what we want!
2. Also, the two cemeteries disappeared before many of us were expecting them too and many others and myself were planning to buy them so would you consider bringing them back briefly?
3. How many people worked on the Halloween event? Is it just a couple of you or more of a collaborative thing?
4. How do you guys decide on new events, or like the theme for each Halloween? Is there a vote amongst you all? Do you look at suggestions made by players on the forums?
5. Are the show's creators or licensing folks involved on what goes into the game? Do they every tell you "add this character" or is that more of a decision on the EA side of things?
6. Were you a Simpsons fan before becoming a developer for the game?
This event has been good so far, the prizes are great, just would have like some more Halloween Decorations to add to the feel of the holiday. Will there be an event inspired by TTHOH XXIV opening gag, with the drive in being added, why not also include Some classic horror movie characters., with accompanying movie clips, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Sea Creature, etc...
I would also like to know will we be getting, the Fire Dept with Skins, Burns Casino with Nessie, Ernst, Gunther and Anastasia and The Clamphitheater this year. I really enjoyed the game this year, there were a lot of great items added to the game. A lot of the things from my most wanted wish list were added this year. Love the game!!!
Any plans for Maggie being released? It's a shame we didn't get her before or during THOH-2014, it would have been perfect to include a Rigellian Skin for her.
Can Artie Ziff have another 24 hour job (alone)? Please?
Is it possible for House of Evil's shopkeeper, and the Fortuneteller to have playable character's? The fortuneteller had dialogue last year. Or is their legal reasons you cannot?
In THOH-2013 we saw the return of Maude Flanders, and my mind was blown! I'm so glad it happened! But, does that open the door for other deceased characters? Rabbi Krustofski, and Bleeding-Gums Murphy? Or a retired Character like Dr. Monroe?
Do you think Herbert Powell could make an appearance? (Wink, wink)
1)Will you please consider putting back in Count Burns, the cemeteries, and the haunted wall, with little extra walls? "Limited Time" usually means for the entire event. Can you maybe add a timer to items that are a week, or weekend only option so players know how long they really have? I myself don't have Facebook, or anything like that, only the game so there was no way to know. ( I read on a site that it was listed on the Facebook page apparently) I'm sure there are others also. I played during halloween last year, but had major game connection issues (I did report) and due to that didn't make it to Count Burns but really wanted him, I had 3 days to go before I could purchase and he was removed . I love almost all halloween items and the game play
2) How long and how many people does it take to put all of these events together? (Btw I really liked the "get a life" stuff from the **** event, lol)
3) Is it to much of a Hassle to have Halloween themed house skins? (Like Christmas) cause that would be really cool looking I think (in case you can't tell I love October, Halloween, and just about all decorations and such that come with it)
Ok I think I've asked enough. Thanks for listening. Keeping fingers crossed. Have a great day!!
Does anyone from the show have any input on what you put into the game, such as how you write the storyline or what characters should do? And if so do you have to write the game so that it is spoiler free and/or encourages players to watch the show?
This article from about a month ago might interest you:
Do you have someone comb the forums for information on what the players want/like/dislike, and does that then get taken into consideration when writing/configuring the game?
Is it me, or can you only get 1 Rigellian shrub ? These look awesome and I wanted to get a few. I think, not sure, I purchased the shrub :?: with donuts. Now on the other hand, you can get as many Tentacle Trees with donuts.

Can we spend our probes on items when we start collecting ray gun? Because that would be awesome.
2. When do you start preparing a normal Halloween update? About 2 months in advance of the release or something?
As for Halloween specifically, is there plans to change how the event rewards are won each year (seems like it is a different system for every holiday), or are you simply going through various versions and will eventually settle on a single method (one that works smoothly, earns less ire from players in general, etc)?
Thanks!
I'm saying this because I liked the darkness of Halloween last year but you changed it this year...
