I'm on Level 939. But I was locked out too. On Level 219.
After a call and a Live Chat with the EA Support, I got in my town after one hour later.
But I don't know what they have done.
I'm about to take one for the team: I'll click on the finished GOOGOLPLEX and see what happens.
EDIT: Completed the building, leveled up (twice), went to KL and back. Laggy, but otherwise ok. I have had the XP Collider running since right after I got the level update and was playing pretty much as normal. After the first rat trap truck placement nearly froze my game (I had dropped probably 50 trucks thinking that it would take that many to earn back the 5 donuts I invested!), I cut back on the XP grubbing to check the forums. Then went back to XP grinding until I had to go back to work in the real world. I am at level 939.
I did not send Marge on her first Level 60 task because she's been busy overreacting at the Saloon, and so the Wise Guy quest line hasn't triggered.
I had a similar experience as graywolfii, but at about 600 levels less. The XP Collider was running before I knew of the glitch and is set to run out in an hour or so. However, The Googleplex was started prior to activating the collider, or even taking it out of storage for that matter.. The Googleplex just finished, and I was able to complete it without issue. Knock on wood... (Even with the increased XP requirements I still went up another 2 levels.) I was able to login afterward on both my iPad and iPhone, visit friends and return, etc... I also did not sent Marge on her task for Hard Candy pt 1. Im going to hold off on that, especially since she is being used in the event anyway.
Has anyone finished the googolplex and not get locked out?
I started my collider and rushed the googolplex yesterday first thing and leveled up to 939 and still havent gotten locked out. Im on quest 3 or 4 now for the googolplex, whichever one sends homer on 12 hour task to blah blah blah. Think ill stop after that got a hunch that its hitting quest 8 where you start placing mountain heads might start messing things up if your already to level 939 and havent placed one head yet and try placing all at once
I feel like I am the only one (at least on the forums) that didn't use the collider, didn't buy anything, and have a 1M XP to go to level 61!
I haven't been locked out and I have 2 hours til the googoplex completes.
:shock: eats popcorn, watches the Tapped Out Forum Tennis Match of May 2016 :shock:
There's a few of us here who took the more cautious approach, and not sure it's all clear even now. One speculation was that advancing too far in levels before completing certain level questlines was the problem, but it could be something else entirely.
I sold my part-built googolplex and am happy to continue with Wild West quests and designing. The levels will wait until we have a definite that it's debugged.
I'm at level 939. I won't touch the Googleplex or visit neighbors until there is a patch. I have the XP collider running for three more days because I wanted to see if I could buy a 3-day one and store it in the consumables.
I built my G-plex, it completed ok and i assigned the wise guy to do his 24hr mission.
I haven't completed the first quest because Marge will be busy with the western event for a while.
The theatre lists movies to play, but they require leveling up beyond 60.
How do i get 6000 donuts?
It was possible yesterday (I presume) only because the XP meter stayed at 40,000 ... with $25 million ingame cash, a high multiplier, plus the XP Collider, it probably doesn't take much to get to 939, at 1 donut per Level-Up. After THAT, it was "bonus donuts" (which I assume means a chance for 3 donuts per bonus level) ... and at 40,000 XP per bonus level, it was probably not too hard to blow through some sort of ceiling.
Though I haven't done the math to figure out how MUCH cash would have taken to get to 6,000 ...
But the patch 'fixed' it so that it takes a lot more than $40,000 per level. NOW it looks like, at level 100, it increases to 500,000 XP and then at Level 939, it's $1,000,000 XP for each "bonus" level up.
Ok, so i risked it and thought i'd try this out, googleplex is not yet finished building, and i'm not going to rush it. Turned on my xp collider and started buying blood mobiles. I can't remember which level it started at, but i'm at 105 now and it's costing 500,000 xp to level up, so the progress is much slower I won't have enough $ to get to level 900+ at this rate.
I was locked out all night but just got in right now. Used the Extra XP/Bloodmobile trick yesterday and got to level 363. Completed Googleplex after logging in and advanced about another 3 levels after cleaning out my town. Still playing as of now.

same here.. only used the collider the initial time it came with the power... now it's just a decoration in the rocket launch/space area.

Ditto - I finished the googleplex a couple of hours ago and nothing happened!

Will it start again? What should I do or not do.

I have also visited friends and KrustyLand without any problems.
There was a rumour that this Glitch tended to impact on games that were 3 years old (but do not know if that was true or not)!
