New Release -- May 5th, 2012

[Missvicki]

Why is EVERYTHING about this game focused on CASH?Isnt this a GAME?The quests arent offering any CASH yet and we have to use our own HARD EARNED MONEY to buy facilities and such to play a GAME??? Whats up with the greed?

[TerriFlynn]

IMO, this release is the worst ever. With the exception of new facilities, the rest is basically "fixes".. ok, so we need the fixes, but not in a release, just fix the stuff! C'mon SK, you can do better than this! The bored will begin to venture away....further and further......

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Yep, me too. I have always wanted ground cover down and place items on them but usually had to remove it cause it would be laid over the top of a building or something.

thanks Devs!

Yes that used to drive me nuts. I know the glitch with the paths was used to decorate (by me as well) but weighing it up I would rather have ground items behave like ground. I had long given up trying to have grass between my buildings on the tarmac and paving slabs that didnt cover the buildings in places.

So I have a choice, a dock (wharf) that sits on sand and looks stupid just plonked there or delete it and have a bare ocean. The bare ocean wins.

I know exactly what you mean - that glitch has its costs and benefits! How about having the water ground cover all over - now the paths behave as ground you can put down ground with paths and use the coasts round the edges maybe? Then you can still have docks and boats.

Why don't you just make changes to the existing facilities for once, instead of adding one we don't need?

I totally agree with this. This is getting confusing, Tea Factory, Herbal Tea Factory. Should have been combined.

Thanks for the update DEVS, nice little surprise to wake up to. Sure was glad it came this weekend instead of having to wait longer.
Do wish we could have got the alternate views for the trains and the new Freight trains. I know patients but you have teasing us with for a while now....

Where is the Train Commerce feature?

[JohnAlbertini]

More frustration - no new levels.
You add 24 new FC facilities every year not to mention new FC tools.
Yet we (advanced LOYAL players) only get 150 FC leveling up each year so we can buy only 4-5 FC facilities per year. 4-5 out of 24 just not enough.

And you offer almost nothing to advanced players who have EARNED many more levels but you force us to WAIT many months to actually get them. I have DOUBLE the XP of the top existing level but they are WORTHLESS until you dribble out new levels! I could stop playing for a YEAR and come back to get my 150 levels without playing AT ALL until then! Maybe I'll do that!
