Nope, not really. They could have easily specifically named it as an item either way, and it wasn't.

Honestly all this angst over a protecting the pixel wealth of a religious icon is a bit disturbing.

Its like what the item actually is and symbolizes, has been lost in the rush to protect its elite status or how much someone can get for its sale. Its all very Indiana Jones, lol. Except with the holy grail or ark of the covenant. Interesting.

Lump of coal is more like it! However, that can be construed as a Christmas item so I better not say that.

As it's been stated a few times in this thread quoting Gary's interview with YoRehab, if any item has officially been released by Zynga in the past we will not be putting it back into the game. Accidental releases such as the Menorah Hat are different, as they weren't an official release.

All of your 08 and 09 costumes, retro specks, and all the other valuable items that have been released before are not going to be re-released. As Gary mentioned, we understand the value of rare items and want to keep it that way.

If you see people posting 'rumor' threads about releases coming tomorrow or next week, if it's not a post from one of us then it's exactly that, a rumor!

I hope this helps clear things up for everyone!

Oh great, now i am seeing certain forummers with their pixels falling into huge cracks because they wouldnt let go, even though it meant losing their avatars life.... i wish I could make videos out of my brain waves! Indiana Jones and the last Crusade meets Yoworld...

Adeline (113719515) wrote:Everyday we have several threads created on here demanding, begging, whining or complaining that the authors want 08's and other rare items to be re-released. These people have lengthy explanations as to why it would be good for the economy or they point out how it would be "fair." We also have speculative threads - threads like was the Celtic Cross ever released or will Pink rets come back.
Some of us are sick of having rumors started and having the forum clogged up with this stuff. It invariably leads to arguments and insults and misunderstandings. Many of us lived through the re-release phase by Zynga and even they did not re-release collectibles and 08 costumes and other rares.

Could you please state exactly what Big V's position is regarding the re-release of 08 costumes, pink rets, cupids bow and other rare or collectible items.
Thank you.

Keeps it objective and encourages conversation IMO.

To be honest, sometimes I wonder if my terminology like plutocrats and the whole rich vs poor thing could be construed as too harsh by the opposing side. I hope that they realize it's a gross generalization and not personal commentary.

Are you speaking of the VIP program or something related to the Celtic Cross? If this is about the VIP program, no that is different than intentional releases Adeline. Many of us were VIP from the first days to the end. The items were pulled without notice and there are lots of them. I have most, but it sure would be nice to have a list of all that came out because it doesn't exist here, on yorehab, or yopriceville.
