Can we please just move on, and let BVG do their job? We begged them to take over... and all that has happened since is DIVISION amongst the players, and constant complaining to BVG that everyone wants things done Zynga's way or the highway? Zynga left us out there to be run over!!!

I thought about that too. May be they don't want to use Zynga's items anymore, but on the other hand, all those unreleased & hacked items were also Zynga's. So I don't think they have a problem about previous items being designed by Zynga.

Yes, it is a bit ignoring. Basicly ignoring the wish of those who need those re-releases, willing to spend money, and granting the wish of those who want the items stay discontinued so they can make profit.

On the other hand, they might have other reasons, such as legal issues, reasons due to their business plan, etc. that they prefer not to tell us openly. Then I would understand that.

But saying that they understand importance of item rarity for players, sounds like as if they don't understand the other players which I want to think that they didn't actually mean so.

Then they probably should have phrased as some players instead of just players ... hopefully in the future they will refer to the fact that it is only some players.

Thank you for the clarification!

Yeah... it could be a million different reasons as to why they aren't. Releasing those unreleased items, is a whole different ball game. This was to even out the YoEconomy.

Just be patient... they are most definitely going to do right by us. We have to trust that!

Oh!!! I forgot to thank John for posting this!!! lol

Thank you John!!! This was long overdue

thanks for setting this straight

Thank you for posting this and making it a sticky!

This makes it abundantly clear. Thanks for the clarification.

Doubt that the discussions on this subject will cease. We can only wait and see!

love releases ty bvg

Thank you, John. Once AGAIN for clarifying this...it seems to be a particularly sore topic for many. I hope this helps to alleviate some fears.

As for the design questions, all I can say is PATIENCE!!! Gary and Greg have both posted that it was more difficult than they originally anticipated to find GOOD (repeat: GOOD) 3D designers. They have recently hired two, with more to come..they are looking out for the BEST for us..they aren't willing to settle for anything less. We all will see new furniture and decorating items VERY soon...just let them run their business and enjoy the ride.

May I also suggest, if anyone is curious at all as to how much VISION and TALENT this company possesses, try out one of their other very popular games (like FISHWORLD) ...you can see how much they care about quality and diversity.. and the design elements of that game, in particular, are spectacular.

It may help pass the time for those of you who have itchy decorating fingers...

I don't know. No matter what, even though I like this game, personally I am an unhappy customer at the moment seeing that after all those efforts trying to explain ourselves, they are saying nothing is going to change. I don't think I will ever forget this let down with the whole group of players who really wanted those releases.

As I started that huge thread, I want to say I am sorry if I caused anyone raising their hopes.

And those who are on the other side, congrats, you won. BVg is on your side. Just go celebrate and make some more profit. WTG

Those are collectibles. No re-release.

When Zynga re-released theme after theme I never said oh other side congrats now go get what you could have got earlier at store prices and celebrate, while I'm stuck with having bought what I needed at high prices. It's sour grapes. I just bought more of the things I knew I had to pay high prices for because I didn't buy enough the first time they were released.

Granted some might have expressed that, but now you are on the other side expressing it (sour grapes) yourself. Of course you are allowed to express yourself as you see fit.

Ohk Ty

I've seen a lot of discussion going on recently about bringing back older released items. I made a statement about this previously, however it was within a topic that's definitely no longer near the front page to be viewed.
I wanted to post this here so everyone can get a definitive answer on this subject.

Hey everyone!

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!

Sorry, I couldn't help myself....... You know some will read these words and think that!


Seriously though, I decorate a lot and I love to decorate avenues. Those are a challenge, because you can not change the floors. It just makes me have to be more creative and come up with a solution. I would love the grass tiles, walls and stuff like that in store, as I am sure some others would, but I don't agree with re-releasing themes at all. So I am content to wait.

I think it is clear to BVG that there are decorators playing and I think they will give us things we need. Maybe going FORWARD they can create a decorator section in the store, with "staple" items and if themes close out, those "staple" items can be moved into the decorator theme and not expire with the rest of the theme. That way, resellers don't "stock up" on things they won't be able to resell and decorators have what they need.

Anyway, I think it was clear before what BVG's plan was with old themes. Hopefully it is more clear now......RIP dead horse, you endure one heck of a beating......
