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!

Thanks for the reply.
I fear this won't end the incessant questions though.
People will poke holes in anything they can

Not everyone that's against re-releases buys into rich vs poor, or mocks the poor. In fact, I'd bet that the players you're referencing are the few in compared to ALL yoworld players. As in most cases you only hear the negative aspects and not the positive ones. You'll never see players standing at Altons claiming to be nice and sweet. LOL

Wasn't the celtic cross officially released and then because it represented certain religions they decided to remove it? So, it was officially released and then removed for a specific reason so i wouldn't expect them to put it back. Thats my thoughts on it anyway.

As far as " How are us as players supposed to know which item falls into which category?" Why are you supposed to know. What gets released gets released.

celtic cross was not an anniversary release.. nu uh
.. tiger rug was not as well.. accidental or short term releases.. do not quality as being available to everyone...

If it was released for a short time, it was still released. If it was released for five seconds and pulled, it was obviously accidental. That is covered. It is all covered.

I have put up with a lot of insults and name calling over this issue. I post and read here too and I have every right to tell you all what I think whether you like it or agree with it. I will not stop doing that until Big V tells me to. So save your insults. Many better at it than any of you have tried to put me down and it has not worked.
I asked for clarification. They gave it. Figure it out if you don't understand it.

Thank you Viking John. Looking good btw!!

I agree. The cross was released for about an hour and then removed, thus not allowing a fair chance for most people to buy it. Any other three day or one day themes were official releases for specific holidays. We won't see them re-released as we were all aware these themes were coming into Yo as Zynga did give notice beforehand. That notice constitutes a 'fair chance' for players who played Yo at the said time.

Total baloney! I am not rich. I have never been rich and never will be. I don't sell except for the occasional yocash item someone asks me to get for them.

This is how it reads to me as well. Though this is exactly what I thought Gary conveyed in his YoRehab interview also.

*giggle*

This thread is a hoot. SPECULATION is profitable for both players and BVG. When statements get made, all they do is incite further rants and more giggles from me. And now I see calls being made for LISTS of items that will be in one pile or the other. Are you not entertained? Do you not see the humor in these requests?

Some of my play is to trade. I win some bets and I lose some bets. Either way, I am having fun. If the put it all back in Yo, bring it on. If they don't, fine.

PS - NOTE TO BVG - You think the whining about old stuff is loud? Wait until you start adding content! LOL

Yeah I think the same thing. Unlike many that said the Menorah wasn't officially released. I really think short time release and accidental release are two different things. So I'm with you on this but now that we got a word from one of the vikings i'm happy

You got it. And if they did decide to release it to be fair to the ones that missed out on it. As someone said it should only be fair to the people who played when it was released. 3. Not everyone should get it.

1. But what about the people that were sleeping around the world at that time? Not everyone is in the same time-zone, some people might have been working.

2. How could that possible be considered fair? You are comparing an item that was only in stores for what some claim to be only a few seconds, to other items that could have lasted in stores for a few days.

3. If it's released, I highly doubt it will be released for that certain group of people. Then everyone will argue about how that's not fair. Why ever release it when its only for a small group of people?

Well actually Ant. Bvg is talking about having their own exclusive number items. I mean it's really no different then the gary pants. I'm not really sure why people seem to think things are so unfair. I think it keeps the game interesting when they have exclusive items. The thing is if they do release it again. It should only be for the ones that played the game back then. I mean that's the argument in the first place that the ones that played back then didn't get the chance to get it. Well those should be the only ones that get the chance to get it then. And the same with any short time releases if they'd happen to release them. Only people that missed out while playing the game should get those items.

I know about the limited item releases, they are a smart idea, and i have seen them done before on other games. The difference is, that everyone gets a chance to buy at least one of the limited number items.

Also, the Menorah, was apparently an accidental release, yet everyone has the chance to buy it today.

Yes, I read it the same way too...I was just going to type the same thing! lol

Sticky the Viking reply. Copy paste.

Gary Shiny Pants were released and then pulled without warning, BVG has said these are "accidental release", so I'm guessing anything that was pulled without warning is accidental release.

Actually Rod, I consider it sad. It indicates a lack of intelligence among the masses that I hoped was not true.

Oh yeah, Big V is going to enjoy the ride. Looking at pictures of Greg, tells me, he may not put up with too much of it, however.

Accidental releases BVG does not deem as official release.
