    I just went to level my tusker before releasing, and I can't.


    I just did the amber goal and it seems to be working fine.


    Maybe only some instances are broken....not the goal itself, but the stump that makes the compound.


    Aha! Only quick build mode is broken...

    You can no longer just drag and drop the amber onto the stump. You have to open the stump first, otherwise, it says it only took 1 even though the amount left in inventory says there should be 10 in there.

    Also for non-paying members.. You only can buy two things with lux. Means FS is going to be more greedy with Real Wold money and turn it into a site that people have to pay with their wallets for every new release. Not cool.

    Love the new stuff, but it is way too expensive for most people, especially when added to the price of the game.
    This is not making for good relationships with customers. This message was edited 1 time. Last update was at 01/27/2010 12:19:39

    I did buy this background, even though it was double the price of the other backgrounds. Why is that?

    Its too bad you cannot zap for water blocks. At least that would give people options who don't have BUX or don't want to spend a small fortune. I did the estimation to redo my better half's waterfalls and stream at about 38,000 BUX. Which on our silver account would cost us $130.00 in real money to buy all the blocks right now.

    They should really consider adding the ability to zap these blocks.

    Can a mod please address the BUX concerns so many of us have?

    We see the same (understandable) concerns everytime, yet a FS team member has never addressed them. In fact, it is getting even more expensive with every update.

    Thank you.

    yes I was getting kicked off every 5 min's it seemed silent server but I closed browser out and opened everything back up and so far so good at least haven't noticed getting booted off but everytime I flip over there I'm logged on. but if it continues to happen I'll notify cs cause I have never really had this issue.

    I was a beta tester and I don't like to chat much or post in forums much. I will volunteer for the next phase of testing when you go looking for new ones tyvm

    I'm really upset that you cant zap for water blocks. I understand money needs to be made here thats why the different levels of membership. Blocks are something we zap for and water blocks should be no different.If special water blocks like the waterfall ones were for sale but you could still zap and get water blocks I think that would be more reasonable. If this trend to charge bux for what I would consider basic items continues I will,sadly, be leaving. I left the last game I played after 6 years because of the same thing and I thought I'd found something different here.

    Smallhaven wrote:Ya know, we're not charged for world blocks so why the exorbitant bux cost for water blocks? I don't need animated water blocks, if that's the reasoning. Just give me plain blue blocks.


    Its probably just about making money. Bigfish games is in business to make money. Obviously someone thought it would be a huge money maker to bring in the water blocks and they know people are going to buy them because people have wanted them for a while so why not charge big bux (pardon the pun) for them. Its like with anything that first comes out like the iphone, people stood in line for hours and paid $600.00 for a phone, now they are cheaper.

    Maybe the same thing will happen with the blocks and they will either make them cheaper in a few months or make them zappable or just sell them for lux and bux.

    Making them animated shouldn't add to the cost all the animated blocks contain are a few extra lines of code replicating itself giving that animated look.

    I came
    I saw
    I was unimpressed.

    Block trade requests: yay!
    Search for a friend: yay!
    Larger test in chat list: yay!
    Moving Away, etc buttons: boo! (what's the point?)
    Waterblocks: yay!
    They cost bux (and lots of them!): boo!
    Cool heart stuff: yay!
    They cost bux too: boo!
    Watering hole: **** hum

    The only reason I can think of that the blocks cost bux is that "they" knew how much of a desire there was and saw $$$$ rolling in. Ergo... bux for neat stuff.
    Oh well. I don't need water.

    Because I bought the background I've already spent almost 5000 bux, just on Valentines stuff. Won't be buying the water blocks. It will be wayyyyyy to much money. I'm already a frequent buyer of through the download games and 2 FS accounts.

    I hope the cost of things are reconsidered as well as some kind of account perks that were discussed under the suggestion thread.

    Blocks for befriend and trade...at last!
    Like Suz, I don't really get the notify friends you are Busy/Away...does this actually stop people IMing you or hopping on you when you least expect it? If so, if not,

    Watering hole..yes sorry another hmmm

    Valentines stuff, not really my bag. Not that I am not romantic , just only see the point if you want someone else in the game to be your Valentine!

    I noticed an issue with the trade request thing. I am still able to trade with my mule account to my main account and vice versa. I am assuming if the person is in your friends list it won't block a trade request.

    I also noticed that the even though myself and my mule were both logged in and in world it didn't show either of us being online on both sides. I even went to the same place as my mule (mire knoll) in the same instance and it still didn't see either of us online. So basically I couldn't jump to my other account even though we were standing next to each other.

    Weird?
