The high popularity markets are as follows:

1. New York
2. Paris
3. San Francisco
4. Los Angeles
5. Berlin

I would advise that you visit either of the following two towns, as both members specialize in collecting high popularity properties:

1. Ashley! - 31796363

2. SvenTown - 32406761

Hope that helps!

Thanks Barracuda! You're on my gift list again, but owe a lot... When I asked for a "market", I meant like a real market category business (not a changed one) :) But I'll check out those towns to see if they have any. Also looking for a real "Entertainment" category business that is really popular, and more real "offices" :)

I'll point you in the right direction. This obviously is NOT all inclusive, but here's some popular "real" entertainment and offices. I am not gonna bother posting popularities as you can do your own homework, but they are all over 40k:

Entertainment:

Radio City Music Hall - NY
Nintendo World - NY
Disneyland - LA
Universal Studios - LA
Modern Dance Studio - NY
Yankee Stadium - NY
Caesar's Palace - Las Vegas

Offices:

Long Island Beef Co - NY
Google - SF
Booyah - SF
Facebook - SF
Apple Computers - SF

Ill franchise you

Hello everyone! I've been looking forever to find a forum that is discussing MT2, finally found this one! wonderful ^_^.

I've fallen in love with this game, really enjoying it. I keep reading posts about people getting tons of bucks and stuff, and I see peoples towns with things that would require... Thousands of bucks, I'm afraid I don't quite see how this is even possible. The only way I've found to get bucks is from leveling up, random tips from helping people, daily lottery and gifts from people if you have a level 10 building (I don't yet). am I missing something, or just failing hard!

If anyone wants to check out my town feel free :) (population gifts are always welcome <3)

also if anyone has a Mega Club that I can franchise for coins let me know :D!!

Hey i always want to help out the people starting i can franchise you if you want!
Thank's!

All Offices vs. Actual Business Type

I remodeled my businesses into what they should be and the revenue reduction is huge. It's no wonder people are taking advantage of buying multiple Stock Exchanges. I'll bet that ability will be greatly altered in the next update.

When they were all offices:
345,956 - 1,395,259 - 3,264,834 - 7,004,613

Now:
47,526 - 191,361 - 447,915 - 961,009

They may all become offices once again, just for overnight jobs.

Yay!

After having the Cupid fountains since they came out (I have 2) I finally saw a flying Cupid in my town just now! Lol I'm more excited than I should be. ;)

also, as a side note, to add to the vehicle topic you had been discussing, I have one mansion, and four red convertibles in my town....? Not sure how that worked out. I also have the villas, I thought that's what they were linked to, but as I'm sure you all are noticing, I've been wrong many a time. :D
 
Location(s)?

I've learned alot from reading this forum. But I still don't know how to change my location. I've turned off location services, but what I've read is that you 'manually choose your location.' Where do you type in a new location? I understand you can only do it once, and possibly have 2 locations..? I started with my current location which is Owasso, OK. But I need some of the big honchos like NY cuz Tulsa and OKC just aren't cutting it. It'd be cool if Booyah made some changes, like the list of friends layout, and maybe a message bar to leave a question or comment on another's town, being able to send houses/community buildings, more than 5 gifts a day (hello!?), WAREHOUSE, they need to fix those gosh darn corner hedges, I need symmetry! Currently, I am really diggin the 3x gifts since I recently got my Walmart skyscraper to level 10. I need to get more bucks, pretty please someone/anyone franchise my businesses or gift me bucks on my Walmart. I'm an excellent 'gifter-backer', when I get a gift from a new town I add to my friends right away so I won't forget you!

Missing Residents and Vehicles

YarnGoddess: How did you make the ice cream truck finally appear?
And now you also have a floating cupid too! Okay, I'm jealous!
But no purple bus...fooey.

ashbyyokosuka: Sorry to hear about so many missing vehicles in your town.
I do think part of the requirement is to have X number of roads. I was missing the taxi so when I increased roads, the taxis finally appeared. Another thing I noticed, at least for the taxi stand--must be next to a road. I had my taxi stands isolated and no taxis. My gingerbread houses aren't next to any roads, so no elves. My elves are red with green hats. I don't remember seeing yellow ones.

Aw5678: Yay! You have cupids now too! No, I don't think you were mistaken. After us comparing notes, it sure seems now that we can get "X" by different ways.

I added a request to Solsville MT2 page to ask Booyah to address the problem of missing items. Hopefully the next update we'll all have our people, critters and vehicles. I want my own cupid!!! LOL!

Fine. So I got my ice cream truck. Then I bought the Cupid fountain and got a little floating Cupid (think there will be a population boom now?). ;)

Then I got a wild hair and bought the fashion museum. Do you think I got the purple bus? Nooooooo.

ARGH!

I just realized I'm missing a school bus, ambulance, fire engine (& yes, I've got the station) & I have a "million" taxi stands with no taxi's on the road, just bought 2 trailer parks & no pick up trucks... three fountains & no Cupid. & no purple car either. I e had the fashion store for quite some time...

HMMM!
wonder if I'll get the convertible, just bought the mansion.

with the cars I wonder if it is the amount of roads one has?? I don't have a lot, but once I full expand, hope to put more back in...

WHAT GIVES??:mad::mad::eek:

do u people have a ton of "Eli's" walking around?? (yellow pants & elf outfit)

#####Thank you so much..

I franchised a business from you, tell me please if you got bucks or coins ;)

I'm super sorry I didn't respond to this right away..my Grannie passed away last night so I haven't been on alot.. I did notice that it came across in bucks though..that's Alllllllways a welcome sight for sore eyes..lol! I have been able to accumulate quite a few coins and have been trying to help others get their land :) I remember how it just feels like you can't get anything done without enough coins (or in my case bucks) so thank you so very,very much! :):):) Hope everyone is having a great Monday..think I'm going to go get one of those cute little cupids everyone's talking about..ttfn #####GraceGirl 31405501

so much i want to respond to since last night. Licat, thank you for the resounding endorsement...i am a pretty good source of mt2 knowledge, as i am constantly studying the numbers and changes and latest strategies. Anyone who wants to pm me to ask something is more than welcome to do so...i don't know everything of course but i probably know the answer.

Feel free to friend me and look over my town...pretty nice place, lots of good properties to franchise. Sadly, i am currently capped at 36 businesses, so i can't franchise from anybody, but i am still a good source of tips and gifts!

Bucks, ah, bucks. The reason why people have thousands comes from 3 things: 1) jailbroken phones, involving hacking the source code of the game to manipulate your buck count - this was patched by booyah; 2) the "lock-screen glitch," which can be found on you tube - this was also patched up; 3) people franchising from you in bucks, for which you got 10% of the purchase price...so if someone spent 18000 bucks on your property, you got 1800 of them...with a lot of premium buildings and players re-franchising, you could be getting quite a lot of money - booyah caught on and patched this up as well, capping the buck franchises at a max of 50 bucks recently.

So...how do you go about getting bucks? I have found 9 ways:

1. Daily lottery (1 per day as long as you log in without missing a day)

2. Leveling up (1 each level, but stops at lvl 50)

3. Random errands for townspeople (about 1 buck for every 20-30 errands you complete)

4. Others franchising from you in bucks (capped at 50 bucks)

5. Booyah "share" (3 bucks for sharing the game via twitter, facebook, e-mail or text, but can only be done once on each - find this under booyah tab, click on share)

6. Booyah sponsorship offers (complete offers involving registering to websites and signing up for promotions - gives anywhere from 2 bucks to like 175)

7. Gifting bucks (when you have a lvl 10 property people can click on it and choose to give you 1 buck; under current vd promotion, it's 3 bucks)

8. Buy them with real money (very expensive - $10 usd gives you 100 game bucks; when you see how much out of area popular properties are priced at, it gets almost silly)

9. Random gift from booyah (ultra rare, instead of daily lottery buck you get a "jackpot" that can be any amount of bucks - but, some users have gotten coins instead...something like 70 - 500 game bucks seems to be the typical amount.

That covers today's lesson on green bucks 101. :)
:d

oops my bad :) still better than mine though. 762 being the highest, i got 18 businesses :)
 
cankiss :D

cankiss: Can you imagine if we got that kind of revenue for EACH of our businesses? People wouldn't have to buy a jillion Stock Exchanges or jailbreak their cell! LOL!!!
 
Ice Cteam Truck - Licat

Licat, it's the playground - the least expensive one under Community.

One thing I've noticed is that as soon as a property is finished building, any associated vehicles/goodies appear immediately. You don't have to wait for them. If you do want to see what came from where (at least with some of them), hit "Edit" and look at whatever property you're interested in. When you return to the game, you'll see whatever belongs to it appear (such as Cupid floating from the fountain). In the case of Cupid, he's small and easily missed.
 
YarnGoddess - Thanks for Info

YarnGoddess: I'm going to sit and watch my town. The denizens must be playing hide and seek with me...;)

Using edit works on our own towns; unfortunately not on Friends' towns. I keep going in and out to try and catch the critter.

...still can't find Cupid in my town...:(

omigosh! Another character! A man wearing a tophat and a monocle! Now to try and find where he comes from...

Sorry to hear about your Grannie. Take care!

By the way, Just wondering if you get my gifts to your town ok? I've sent bucks in the last three days to you. Just want to make sure u got them.

In the meantime I build two more Cupid fountains...let see if the Cupid shows up.

I have two purple buses but I thought they are from the NYE decorations. I have two NYE party decorations and saw the buses leave in front if the two parties when I return to the game from edit..
