I'm asking---And so are lots of folk, but there still have not been very clear answers. What is the plan and timeframe please?

Stoot said no one asks, so I"m asking-----when will the street projects be restarted?
When should we expect the new housing system to be implemented?
What else should we be expecting?

Hugs in this Giant Imagination Land. And yes, meditation comes in handy right now. :)

    @1padme , are you aware you're spamming? You may want to check your computer for spyware or virii.

  • She is probably very unaware that it is the wrong link. She would not spam...I am sure she will correct it as soon as she is back in the forums. Understand what you are saying pad...so yes, asking right there with you.

  • Ok that is weird - this post didn't have those links when it first went up, I'm fairly sure.

    Also, I think stoot was making a perhaps slightly thoughtless joke there, because it's not like we haven't been asking loads of questions... Just sayin'...

  • Nope, 1pad is not a spammer and I'm with y'all, 1pad and im4 - add my voice to those questions, as well :)

  • Did think last night that it was strange that there wasn't a post by staff giving a link to the article about the new ideas, that we had to read it in a link posted by a player. Reminded me a bit of being a child and the grown ups were discussing me in another room (silly, I know.)

    Yes, it's "just a game" but a lot of us spend many hours here and it was a shame to find out second-hand, so to speak. I guess why we weren't asking direct questions (and just musing and guessing in the forums) is that we didn't want to bother staff. We trusted that when there was news or hints of what was to come then we would be informed.

    Oh, and I thought the spam links might have been added by Stoot as a joke, meditate to find the answers you seek! All this must be driving them crazy!

    Anyway, back to my piggies :)

  • we have waited. I keep thinking we're being itchy and expecting too much, but even a weekly/monthly regular update with how things are going and what to sort of expect is good basic business sense in any situation. Keeping people informed and understanding a situation can stop a whole lot of griping.

    edit: POOF and the spam is gone

    Breathlessly awaiting updates and plans!

    Hugs.

  • Oh Goodness.. Stoot, my questions are:
    1.  Will we be seeing some changes prior to "Spring" - and if so, what???
    2.  Are the subscribers going to be able to "vote" on some of the new up-coming items?
    3.  Will there be new trophies to start filling up all those empty slots in my case?
    4.  Do donkeys really fly?

    Thanks

  • when we are forced to move, will we have to have friends help us move? I've heard of some kind of moving boxes- will those be bottomless, or will we have to cut down on some of our stuff?

    Will we have furniture and other things that we can move around?

    With imagination coming, will we have to be reset in order to fully experience it?

  • I'd like to add my support to this as well. I miss regular updates & I think we especially need them now as we've returned to beta. Just something about what you're doing, what the next big is hopefully going to be (with regular disclaimers), include recent changes (from the tweeter) - in case we haven't noticed it in-game, etc. Something, anything about what's going on. :)

  • stoot has already said we will get moving boxes right before the new houses are introduced.
    Posted 11 months ago by Innie✿, Obviously Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, we were told that there'd be moving boxes but ...
    Will we only need one no matter how much stuff we have or will they only hold so much (like our bags)?
    And will we have to find a way to move them, ourselves (which would suck), or will they be like our trophies and automatically move with us (which would be awesome!)?

  • Add me to the list of players that would definitely like more information. 

    @1padme meditation works but I think I need something stronger....like medication!

  • Add me to the asking group -pretty much any/all of the above would be included on my questions list.
    ALSO - I agree- info from the devs would be helpful. Regularly ,with love and transparency.
    Please note---- I am asking also for those communications to please NOT just be twittered , tweeted , kakow-ed or what have you . *Gasp!* - horror of horrors but not all of us use those sites.
    I'm not sure how I feel about the inference in stoot's comment the gist I get is " well , all you had to do was ask " ....
    -- I kinda feel like that was a dis-service to all us who post ideas,comments on ideas, and such.
    Plus, aren't REQUESTS for changes considered an "asking" (see mutiple threads both here and in Ideas forum asking for changes to be made or proposing ideas for changes to be made/added/fixed , etc) ???
    ... I think I might be a bit insulted about "all you had to do was ask " --when I kinda thought many of us ALREADY were doing that in those threads .
    I would hope that TS would jump back on that transparancy band wagon -especially when I think, as stoot noted, that a high percentage of players have stated/chosen to stay loyal with their money and time and see what TS does.
    Players that feel like they are the LAST to know something and "all you had to do was ask " type comments may not lead to continued HIGH percentage level loyalty.
    Maybe not from this player anyway .

  • PS - Stoot, What is this : " The Kid's Room " ?

  • Formspring has a nice Q&A type feel to it.  People submit questions (that only the answerer sees), the formspringer answers whichever ones they want.

  • Seriously? People don't ask??

    I hear people asking when there when the new housing is coming out and what its going to be like everyday, ditto for new street projects. There's no way they could have avoided hearing people asking unless the staff are completely ignoring the forums and chat.

    My opinion of TS has been nothing but high up until this point, but saying "oh we didn't tell you because you didn't ask", when these things have been the major topics of conversation is ridiculous.

  • Plenty of threads and things to answer now it seems.

    I have already posted my questions about the group halls and houses in the other thread...but I'm glad to see folks asking about the street projects too...been so boring with few projects and only one new region to explore (which was just like regions we already had). 

    Also, have to agree, regular updates would be nice - even if it is a we're still working on it update. 

    Finally, at one time, quite a while ago, there was mention that game updates would occur predominately on Tues and Fri.  Since we went back to beta (really gamma) they seem to be more random...like just about any time during the work week.  Is there a plan to go back to set days for game updates, or are they going to remain random for the foreseeable future?  I'm kind of tired checking in daily to see if there was anything updated to the game, and would love it if it were more regular due to RL issues.

  • Yes Jessenya you are definitely going to lose your cottage, but you'll be able to build another one and make it unique to you.
