As usual lately, I'm doing this one because I have literally nothing else to do. I'm just wondering.... Instead of having us jump through hoops to get a few trades in for things found in the Love Shack, why not just sell the Love Shack for gems and be done with it? I imagine that would make a ton of money for S8, and it would please many players who have been asking for the Love Shack for years.
Then we wouldn't have to collect mushrooms for dismal drops. And grow even more pigs no long term player needs or wants, and no short term player can afford.
I realize it's because of Valentine's Day, but didn't we just have a wedding with Cindy and what's his name? Who are now crowding our kingdoms, apparently never to be heard from again? Before that it was Clyde and his fancy carriage to win his runaway bride. Sabina and Thurston got married and also disappeared from the game, dialog and all, they too just wander around aimlessly now.....why can't we have a story line update that gets back into the lives of our original characters, or deeper into the lives of the more recent ones?
The feeling I'm getting from the forums is that people are tired of new characters who appear for one timed event only. (and they're ALWAYS timed
) And after a tremendous amount of rocks and trees (or mushrooms) have been chopped, they leave behind a new animal.
Or maybe that's just me. Either way, at this point the thrill is gone.
One hint for growing pigs, I wish I could remember who shared it first, so I could give credit. For those who want to work ahead a bit...
I bought an extra pig and am feeding them ahead. When the first piggie grows up, I'll know the rest only need one more feeding. That way they'll be ready when I get to that part. Others have suggested equally good (and less expensive) ways.
