Hi everyone!
In order to access this week's update, you must be level 40+ and have Thurston's Fort and Sabina's House. They seem to have something important they want to tell you, what could it be? Whatever it is, sounds like they're going to need a lot of help! Check out this week's update to find out what they have to share!
The update will go live today (2/5/15) at 12 PM PST.
THE PINK LOVECUPINE
The Wedding Alicorn and Pink Alicorn may trigger a new goal which asks you to beat up a pink Lovecupine. You get this goal as the wedding alicorn is considered a pink animal.
Note:
1. you do NOT need to make a second sword.... you already have one in your inventory.
2. the 5 lovecupines will be activated upon collection of a pink animal. It's random and rare to spawn one and this goal may take a couple of months.
3. collect as often as you can from your pink animal.
4. do not contact Support, they cannot help you as it is not a bug.

my guess. what else big news could there be between those two? and maybe possibly we need the love shack for the big news?... maybe hopefully?
Since the Love shack is not returning, my best hope is a wedding arbor/chapel/some sort of flowery handfasting area that might do the same function as the love shack did. I am hoping for a world event, six months ago for halloween was just right, I am glad there wasnt one over the holidays but this time of year there is time to complete one.
However if this is the valentine event then it seems unlikely a world event would be level 40 + players only. So my bet is this is an individual event or if its truely story related, permanent character development then its an update.
Ohhhh.. Maybe they are gonna get married!!!!
I dont agree with the 40+ level. I have been playing this game daily for half a year and am surprised that i'm being excluded from a holiday event. At level 35, i wouldn't classify myself as a low level. Probley hurts more since I prepared more-than-normal ahead of time for the update (red pedals, strawberries, chocolate, ect). Anywho, cant wait till 12 to at least read about it. Missin the love on v-day.
edit: ah, nevermind. Carry on as usual :p
Sorry for the drama.
Disappointed for my neighbors, and other players below lev 40, not being able to join the update this week either...:(
actually, none of them said it was a valentines day event update. or even timed. we just have to wait and see if it is timed or not. i doubt it is if it's involving character/story development. the only information we have about it is that it is happening today and is going to be "a very fun and surprising update" quoted from spiritwind in the weekly sneak peak thread. i really doubt they would exclude a lot of people from an event.Quote:
