Relplying to Deo0003:

Considering having played for over a decade, spending money on micro-transacrtions every year, I have more than paid enough for the game to be ad free for me. Maybe for new players and with the ability to purchase a non-ad version.

As with all freemium games, there has been a small percentage of players that have spent a lot of money in game, more than enough to support those that have never paid at all. Early on, I spent a fair bit (I actually don't want to think about how much I've probably paid in total) but I'm now at a level where I rarely (though still have) need to spend anything on it and can still get the premium features. I feel, though, that I have earned those premium features now for the amount of time and money I have already put into the game.

So, short answer for you, no. 12 donuts (in game currency) cost £1.99. A premium character/building is normally 150 to 200 donuts. There are A LOT of premium characters/buildings. Do the maths and I think it's fair to keep the game ad free.

According to the dialogue from the in game event they've given us as the final one (it's a quick one, with short tasks and donut making rewards) they've said that people's towns have got too big for the servers, that events are taking too long to produce and updates are too slow and big for them to cope with.

What's odd is that prior to this cancellation event, they gave players more land and higher object limits so that they could expand their towns. Seems odd to then tell us the towns are too big... Plus, the last event would have seen more people making micro transactions for characters and buildings only to then find that the entire game is going to be removed.

I'd be happy if they at least let us download our towns and play offline instead. 12 years of playing (and spending) to build a town and then to lose it all just doesn't seem fair.
