HELP! I get the message that says I'm at my building limit.....
* LIBRARY AND JEWELLER ARE ROYAL BUILDINGS
* You can have 43 Royal buildings. The number of buildings you can have is limited to your total royal building count.

* TAVERN AND MARKETPLACE ARE TOWN BUILDINGS
* You can have 40 Town buildings. The number of these buildings you can have is limited to your total town building count. (Updated June 2015)

* lower levelled players can't have as many of each type as stated above.
* to get more, you may need to sell a building in the same category. Eg sell a conservatory to build another library; or sell a cottage or 3 to build a marketplace.
* it may not be an equal sell 1 buy 1. You may need to sell more than 1.

[paisdelasmaravillas]

There's a new individual and community event...

[justmine2]

Well, I wasn't expecting those!!!

[paisdelasmaravillas]

Go out the libraries!
New individual and community event

[totalwasteoftime]

Community event... and another fountain! Had to store my frozen fountain to make room for it (not ready to put away the elf army yet!)

[paisdelasmaravillas]

More pics...
The libraries give fireworks!


Timed event to obtain a fireworks case


Level 1 of glimmer fountain

[paisdelasmaravillas]

Level 2 of the new glimmer fountain

[sushi0606]

There is no option to upgrade the glimmer fountain to level 2 when you click on the glimmer fountain even though it is requested in the quest to do so

* Rebooted it's working now*

[twinkletoes12348]

Libraries, taverns, jewelers, and marketplaces.

[totalwasteoftime]

The Glimmer fountain... level 1
