We've seen quite a few people concerned about these two hairs still being listed in the stores, seeing as how they were supposed to be gone by July 1st.

We had set these to expire on this date, however the tool that we were using for this seems to have malfunctioned. We'll definitely be fixing this to prevent limited release items from being in the game longer than they're intended to be in the future.

In the meantime, our plan is to take these two items out of the store the next time we push out some fixes, so you can still purchase them for the next day or two.

Thanks for reading everyone, and have a great day!

There probably is a lot of malfunctioning code delivered to you by Zynga.

I bought a couple of extras to sell in a year or two. Is that pricejacking? :lol:

Nope, I would call that investing.

THIS ^^

I know that this game transfer was unprecedented..and the BVG team probably had some idea what was involved..but I can't imagine how much work is going into re-coding and getting the game back into top form after all Z's abuse and neglect. I am just hoping that there wasn't some sabotage going on as well...that would really be a low blow

(altho..I wouldn't be surprised either)

I got an extra Blue Ninja and a WGN to sell in like a year from now too LOL

I figure if the Jumba WGN ripoff hairs are like a mill a piece now, the real deal should be worth something somewhere down the line.

Lower the value more? lol I bet every man and his dog has purchased some of these and sitting on them waiting for to leave the store so they can profit off them. It doesn't get much lower than that. Its an obvious buy/resell item. I hope people are planning on sitting on theirs for years.

that's exactly why i didn't buy any except personal ones to wear lol

No. The entire game needs to be restarted, and we don't do that unless it's really necessary. The removal of these hairs will coincide with the next batch of game updates, as per John's post.

Thank you for providing us with an explanation as to why these items still appear in store. I hope you're able to fix this as soon as possible and have no problems with future releases. I also wish to thank all of the team over at BVG for the amount of work you appear to be putting in, in order for this game to run as smoothly as possible!
