Another advantage to such an idea would be that it would bring back a high level of players during the weekends when such sales were held and keep players logging in to see what the flash theme was going on.

I don't know. I really don't. I'm just now alot more sensitive to the plight of those whose main purpose is to decorate in game. My focus has always been the fashion and hairs so I decorate when and if the mood takes me.

Just saying too

But there are people who dont talk much and just act on it.

Yeah and there's people that just talk too but i'm not going to argue. Bvg said no re-releases and that's good enough for me. I just figured with them stating that in black and white that maybe we wouldn't see these kind of post anymore but I guess I was wrong lol

It will be ok

That's how it always happens. I myself am happy they won't re-release. And Bvg has their own 3d designer starting next week. So hopefully soon we'll see how that turns out.

The true decorators in the game don't care about the old things unless they are items like: doors, windows, tiles, rocks, plants.....etc Those are things we use so many time to create rooms. I am not interested in anyone's old precious "rares" but yeah, grass tiles would be nice.

I am really hoping that BVG will eventually create a "decorator theme" that will never expire. I know it would offend some, like the person who was charging 300k for a Hollywood graveyard dirt tile at a sale I went to last week, but I think for the most part no one would complain if they knew up front this stuff wouldn't expire.

And maybe therein lies a solution. But would that mean that there would be parts of a theme( decoraters items) that would never expire even if the main theme does?? That could bring about a plethora of issues.

I'm just happy I aint BVG who have to balance the needs of different players. Its a hard one to deal with for sure.

Autumn Glory (105171200) wrote:Well they are very good about listening. Perhaps if a theme has many decorator items in it, they would be willing to listen to what people want to keep and only put timers on the other things......I don't know. It is a lot to consider but I really don't think keeping some items around forever will hurt the Yo economy.

I know. I can see the floodgates open with any re-release.And that is probably the biggest problem. Nonetheless I do think we need do address this issue.
