I'm all for that, I would like to see them really concentrate on making a theme to stay forever with items for decorators. It would be great if we could suggest even design items for that theme.

Just kidding John, thanks again!

That's exactly what I want Myrt! A signed document on camera proving no rereleases. Lol jk jk

All I wanted was for them to reevaluate the situation after hearing more people speak up that were pro re release. Now that they have seen it. I will move forward and just wait for new stuff to be released which I was waiting for anyway. I did however like ruffling a few feathers and pretty much the whole time I was laughing. Hopefully no one took me too personal. I literally could argue with a brick wall and it doesn't matter if I am for it or against it.

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.

My wish is that they would re-release some items as I have changed my mind on the subject after undergoing previous re-releases. It was fun! I'm basically bored now.

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......

Now I'd like to see how grass tiles and wall pieces are justified as being lumped in with "rares". Items like those being "rare" (hence, price jacked) do a major disservice to the designers in the game. Not everyone "collects" or plays for "pixel worth".

I have to honestly say that I'm getting bored with the design aspect of the game. I know I'm not alone.

Releasing the Wild West grass and NYC walls, which should have never been taken out as they are design staples, would in no way impact collectors or the pixel rich.

Please realize that you have more than one group of spenders to cater to.
