I can see over 300 collectibles in the furniture store. And around 80 in the clothing store.

Oh come on myrt. No one here is talking about re releasing collectibles. That was the biggest thing that the pro rerelease of non holiday themes are saying. No rerelease of collectibles. That has been made clear that would seriously destroy this game.

I didn't say anyone was talking about re-releasing collectibles but saying they should re-release these themes just because we can see them is crazy.

The game need to make a drastic change. BVG has done an awesome job making huge changes that is in turn keeping the faith of the costumers. They are making it a safer game. However, in order get the game moving even further in the right direction, Greg may need to look back at what made the game so successful during its peak time. I am sure he has and is working on it, because he has already made this game 100's of times better that what it was. I am seriously thinking about putting together all of these threads, and asking him to keep and open mind while reading them. Then make a final decision now that there is actually a defense for why the themes should be reopened. If he decides to stay with his previous statement, then at lease remove the pictures from the store, so people don't have to look at them anymore.

I agree with you 100% ~
I would buy more of old things bc I love it all, doesn't matter to me if they're released and if you think about it, older players such as myself only had four or five themes to catch up on, but newer players, that's crazy. IDK how in the world they're going to catch up not only bc of the economy, but there's tons they don't have. I don't see issue with reopening themes until BVG finally gets the staff they desire and it'll help them pay the bills too xD I bought themes when they were re-released, .... I decorate with a lot of mixed themes and it's so much fun, just like I do with clothes, mix em up and they come out so nice xD

Thank you! I'm starting to notice that pro no rerelease are just holding on to then saying they wouldnt. Not realizing there very well could be a loop hole in the statement and that it only is helping a select few. The ones that play the game just have a bunch of money. If you are a true collector you would be happy to have something in this game if it became available again. As far as willows comment about just because I can't afford something comment. I assure you hun, I can pretty much get anything in this game of high value but I choose not to because it's not about just owning high priced items that a bunch of people want or price jacked. It is about being able to use stuff to decorate.

You would think if this thread was truly only in the "best interest of supporting BVG", like it's paraded to be; that there wouldn't be instead, such a relentless vibe of defense, and personal leisure preference, overshadowing it, stronger than anything.

Well if I misunderstood you I apologize but it was a reference to seeing collectibles. It's not just about seeing them though as it is about they should have never been remove. Which in turn should be opened up again permanently.

Wasn't there a statement that wasn't as clear as how u just presented it? I could've sworn there was something said that some people were not very pleased about bc they felt it was a way for BVG to skirt around "not releasing" past items.

Why shouldn't have themes ever been removed though? Where is that a rule? The themes being discontinued was not only to generate and inspire an influx of YC sales/buying (business strategy) But it also adds lore and history to the game, as well as value to items. Everybody has and had the opportunity to stick around, shop and pay attention to any of the past themes that came and went. That has been a part of the game since nearly forever.

I'm pretty sure that the point of this thread has been made clear. My argument along with those who have the same view is only to help decorators, bring back the original intent of this game, and allow the collectible theme and holiday themes to remain the only type of collectibles, and bring in some money to bvg.

What themes do you want re-released then?

When zynga started removing themes it was because they needed room in game to add new themes. That was their statement. It was because of a bandwidth or capacity that the game could hold. Eventually it wasn't about that and they continued to be able to put more in stores. Then changed to just trying to make fast cash.

I think there should be a compromise bc bringing some OLD themes back would create big money for BVG and I do not believe for a minute that people will leave,...that's my belief/opinion. whatever you wanna call it and yeah, I know we all have one..etc lol... People said that they were gonna leave when Mafia/Police was released and I know more players that returned from IMVU just to buy that theme! It was such a great time to have that back again.. so, I think there's something financially beneficial for BVG here and we as players SHOULD realize they need some cash too. xD

No worries Amber. I was just saying that the reasoning 'it's there so just open it' was a silly reason for wanting it opened.

Anyways, I'll exit this thread now.

Edit to say I apologize and meant no harm.

and Zynga was also notorious for telling lies and doing anything they could to generate sales with out rhyme or reason (don't get me wrong some of their features were cool, like the beginning of VIP) Most of the time they didn't even care to even give us an honest explanation or reason. Re-releases was basically free money to them, cashing in on old material because they were failing as a business to this game. They could not be trusted as a company, and re-releases are one example of that seeing as it was a huge betrayal to so many people at the time. I'll be happy to see BVG stick to their word and not follow in the same foot steps unless they make it known they truly have to, for the sake of generating desperate income. BVG knows what is best for their own company though, as it seems. I feel like this isn't even a possibility since it isn't happening.

Gooood luck with that. I personally would not want to see the outrageous fuss that would most definitely cause, just for decorators to get whats already in the game anyways. YIKES. But if BVG thinks thats the best move I'd wait the phase out. However they don't seem to want togo in that direction as it is, so they must not be that hard-up. It seems like they'd rather stand on their own feat and be successful on their own, rather than re-hash zynga items that already had an official release. I wonder if they even can re-release themes that were put out under zynga. Unreleased Items I can understand getting the right to re-release. But for some reason i doubt they can even legally re-release zyngas items that already had their round. That seems like it may not even be legal to do. But if I could be officially corrected on that I'd love to be.

Yes, they do, but I would very happy for them bc it would generate a lot of money for them and I would rather have the game itself than worry about my "rares' becoming common again. Just sayin xD BTW ~ it wasn't too long ago some of the items were released in game and they're already shot up back in value in spades...it's bc of their popularity not bc of the economy either. IE Cupid Wings, Bolt, Red Carpet hairs, etc...many of items are making a huge comeback xD

I thought re releasing was to combat the hackers and jackers... did everyone forget about hackers.. youtube poornoob richest yovillian, just one example ...... in case you forgot.. they hacked, made items, sold those items, storing them currently ...

hackers bring out items.. people buy from hackers.. they actually bought coins illegally to get those items.. that's why releases were done.. not to make fast cash.. or they would have released more than just 6 costumes.. come on now... the hackers destroyed the game.. and those hackers associated with some very popular clubs.. and the people in the clubs .. acting like they didn't know anything.. yes, they are All innocent

I remember the firwoman costume was cloned and sold.. was selling for 1 million coins... could buy them in bulk, 20 costumes 20million... and those players are allowed to keep them now.. cause they claimed they didn't know better.. yet they be the first to give tips on how to avoid getting ripped off..0.o
