Who else desperately needs more land??

[ultimatechick]

Me! Pick me. Which is ridiculous - I have saved for a whopping total of three premium buildings, and still have no room. If your freemium players are out of land, Tinyco, you have a problem.

It's the museum for the 24 hour task.

Thanks. That's the other reason we could use a good wiki.

Stuff keeps changing. Which is nice.

Maybe that's why the wiki isn't out there since stuff keeps changing so often.  New tasks, weekly updates, new quests, new challenges - it's a lot to document I'd imagine.

Yeah, I could use more land for my office farm.

i wouldn't say i'm desperate. but with this month-long Halloween Event, i'd sure like a couple plots to purchase.

Addicts posted this comment from TinyCo last week, but I thought I'd quote it here, since it gives some insight as to what they're thinking.

“How much space is enough space?”

We’ve talked before about how space gets released – in particular that it’s best coupled with districts and as a between-events release, to keep the game novel. We also need to test new districts extensively to make sure having more stuff on the screen doesn’t cause more crashes.

We’re hearing more and more discussion about this, and it bears further research. For players who need more space, what are you trying to display? Is this for quest and theme buildings? Or are you trying to display everything ever purchased? Is the problem that new event content pushes our staple buildings (such as offices), or is there another desire we aren’t aware of?

To that end, from a collector’s perspective, what is the ideal rate for space to keep up with content? TQFS releases a lot of content, in large part because that is the single thing players most want and ask for. Whenever content starts drying up, we get a huge influx of tickets, comments and tweets about it. And, of course, fewer players play the game as returning traffic drops.

Because of this, we don’t expect space to keep up 1:1 with new content – doing so would lead to crashes and other tragedies. There are many different ways for players to play, and we’d like to be cognizant of collectors’ requests for space while also keeping an interesting release schedule and a stable game.

It's a different way of playing compared to TSTO, but overall, I think it's sensible. I continue to be impressed with how eager they are to put out content and appreciate them at least talking about the land problem in a public forum.

I'm fine with the response, but I think we could use a real FAQ or something informing players of usable buildings and/or decorations - whether Tinyco creates it, or some over-eager player.  That way it is known what buildings are needed and what tasks are at those buildings/decorations so that way players can either take the building/decoration out of storage to use it or something.  I like to keep all tasks selectable, since I'd rather use 20s than 24 hour tasks, or use other variations based on animations.

For a while my current playing is all max level characters are at 12 hours - unless they have an event task for items or vials/fright points.  Characters below max level utilize a 1 or 2 or 4 hour task throughout the day.

I decided to suggest this to Tinyco against my better judgment and got an awesome response!

"Thanks for the feedback! We really appreciate you taking the time to write in. We're working on improving the game at every turn, and this helps us a lot." so hopefully they will have a FAQ or building guide for us.

I also suggested having Consuela's 8 hour task at the roller rink return (so the building is used ) and got this:

"I'll suggest restoring Consuela's task to the team!"

That is the exact response i got when i messaged TinyCo about the Fragrance Building and asking if they would let us all keep it in our Quahogs as it was a really nice (although unused) building.

No really, exactly the same, word for word

Yeah it looked 'copied and pasted' I was trying to be funny and candid with the response I got from them.  I really hope they can provide something like this so players have listing of used buildings.
