Should read "4 Hour", Having 10 hours was another suggestion :)

No, I think most players have 10 hours. Do you only have 4 hour as your max? I have a sneaking suspicion that people with the 4 hour limit are located in countries outside of the U.S. Can anyone confirm?

Let's add the 10 hour deal to the list for anyone that doesn't have it. :)
 
Airports

Happy Friday to you!
I franchised your Saks 5th Ave in coins... :( and I gifted you a buck to make up for the coins :D

Also anybody know if we can get the LAX airport (LA Intl Airport) I've seen a few other small airports but not LAX specifically.

If we're looking at airports, why not offer major regional airports to the people who live in those areas? That would mean I'd have the chance to buy SFO, southwest could buy DFW, Midwest could get ORD, NY could get any of theirs, etc. They couldn also offer people the chance to buy airports from different areas at a higher price. That would make our own airports more special to us while still giving us the chance to get others we might like.

Or just offer them, period. I have an airport in Tap Town with jets flying in and out and a limo which pulls up on the tarmac to greet the plane.
 
Hey guys! I have been following the forum for a month or so since I started playing the game and want to thank everyone for all of the tips! It's really awesome that so many people help each other with tips and game cash... Dealing with people in person sometimes feels like the entire world population is heartless and rude, but it's cool so many people here help each other out!

I also want to thank Where's my Town for franchising me a few days ago. It was my first franchise and it felt like Christmas! I was so happy when I saw the $50 cash from it. I have been meaning to join this forum for weeks but I hate doing things like that on my iphone. I usually read the forum on it and decided to finally use my computer to do a proper thank you. I'm not a fan of typing on the phone... I am so old school and I'm only 30!

Anyway.... I read nearly every page and really want to thank everyone. I was originally buying businesses near where I live and was getting NO WHERE fast. It took days and days just to do anything. I moved my town to Philly because I used to live there but should have picked NYC... oh well. Right now I'm trying to stockpile coins so my town is not the nicest thing to look at.

Thanks again to every one! I tried to add people to my friends to send gifts as I see them come up in posts and would be happy to franchise with coins if anyone needs it. I don't have a lot of bucks so I can't help with that at the moment.

I'm in the US and only have up to 4 hours.... so frustrating at night when I go to sleep! I have an iPhone 4 and downloaded the game somewhere around the beginning of Jan I think.

That was fast! I just hit $400MM. After reading your post, I added 7 more SEs filling up almost every open area. I'll need to get rid of more high rise condos to open up space.:D

It took about four hours to go from $120,000 to $795M. It was far most cost-effective to sit there for an hour and do three-minute jobs. When I got tired of that, I moved it to one-hour intervals. I never had to go to an hour because by then, I was done. I also had 45 SE's. My goal wasn't to get rich; rather, it was to be able to afford the rest of the land and develop it. I did the calculations and found that no matter how much I wanted to do it without using a loophole, I'd be dead before I saved enough money - literally. I also wouldn't have the money to buy anything to put on said land.

I also went buck crazy and was building things early. Booyah finally corrected the buck glitch, but I don't have very many - 225, I think - so I'm being careful with what I buy. I got rid of the pyramid too, because Oakley just doesn't have them. This isn't Egypt or Vegas. :D. On giving it consideration, however, I should have kept it until all my wonders were in place.

I could always get another one... just for the time being...

----------

Solsville, that is pure genius. What an excellent idea to make a list like that! Thank you on behalf of everyone. :)
 
Offer still good?

anyone who wants BUCKS, send me ur Booyah ID. I'll come franchise ur most expensive business. So then you don't have to learn how to change the files on the iphone. Jailbreakin the phone doesn't actually help nemore... they patched it ever since v2 came out...

If your offer is still good, I would very much appreciated a francise. Thank you in advance!

Have a few of my own things that I have suggested in the past that I want to include on that list. Will spell out later.

For the moment, I wanted to clear up your misconception of the job timing issue. There are two sets of job times that people have:

3 mins
15 mins
1 hr
4 hrs

AND

3 mins
30 mins
2 hrs
10 hrs

I live in New York and have the 4 hour version. My own investigating (through asking about 50 or so players) seems to indicate that most players in fact have the 4 hr version, but it's a pretty close split. What version you get has NOTHING to do with where you live. My girlfriend, who I live with, has the 4 hr version, but my sister (who lives one town away) has the 10 hr version.

I must admit, these two sets of times have me baffled. It may be the only thing about this game that I have not figured out. Originally I thought it was linked to WHEN you registered, but asking around proves this not to be the case. I do think originally everybody got the 10 hr feature (as early posts from this forum dating to late Nov almost exclusively address the 10 hr version), but this changed some time ago.

It may be linked to the device you use. For instance, my brother and sister have the 10 hr version and use I-touch. My girlfriend and I have the 4 hr version and use I-phone 4S.

Hard to imagine a purposeful random assignment. IMHO, this is the worst inconsistency in the game.
 
Can we have a directory somewhere of people on this forum and their town names and ID? I want to see the horror of YarnGoddess's multiple SEs but can't find the ID anywhere. :D

that would be lovely. i can't keep track of who is who anymore. i'm really confused :)

LOL... Pekman, had I known that you wanted to see the sheer horror of my town, I would have gladly shown you. As it is, I've sold them all off. I only wanted to make enough coin to pay for land and improvements, not to see how much money I could accumulate. I only had to put up with it for four hours last night. Now I'm rebuilding.

My town is Goddess Acres, and my ID is 30099414. There's nothing to see yet, but there will be soon.

----------

Ah. New York. That explains a lot.
 
I have been lurking the forum for weeks now and I just wanted to thank you all for the helpful tips and advices. You have made the game more enjoyable to play.

Also to SvenTown and CandyLand --- thank you so much for franchising my business. You have helped me create the town that I wanted. Please let me know what I can gift to you. (I think I gifted population a few days back -- not sure if that's what you still preferred.) Sorry for the late expression of gratitude --- I just registered today, for the specific purpose of thanking you.

But while I'm at it, might as well request the big players for some assistance as well. :) Some bucks would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Friday and happy long weekend!

My bf and I live together and both use the white 32gb iPhone 4S, install the game almost the same time, he got the 10 hour option but I only have 4 hours max...so I have no clue why the difference.
 
Helipad w/ a Helicopter?

Does anyone know if a helicopter, hopefully a flying one, comes with the helipad?

btw, I really like the moving spotlights!

I sure hope they don't put everything on sale a week later, like they did with the Superbowl items. I bought the stadium full price at 65 bucks and if I had waited, I could have saved 20. That was very annoying.

Ah. New York. That explains a lot.

Hey, be nice to us New Yawkers.

Okay, so as people know, Solsville put up a Pro Boards forum to try to locate somewhere more functional. Let's be honest, it is a struggle to keep up with all these posts and the same questions are being asked time and time again.

I do my best to help the members and answer any and all questions, and I intend to continue in this capacity...however, I will be focusing after this weekend on putting the bulk of content onto the Pro Boards. I do not see the long-term utility of being stuck indefinitely in this hard-to-navigate (albeit much beloved!) single thread of a larger forum.

Show support, join, and let's try and make that our new home. I don't expect everyone to just leave the forum, but it is in our best interest to transition to a more permanent place, slowly but surely.

As a gesture of goodwill and encouragement, tonight I will be going through each page of the thread and compiling a directory of the members, which will be posted on the Pro Boards.

Stay tuned, and I will let you know when I am done. It will be after midnight, EST. That is for sure!

Haha well, I see that your land fund has got lots of busy workers employed. I've kept my SEs as I'm worried that the new update will cost lots for land expansion, and there were rumors that the stacking of SEs might not work anymore. So, I'm trying to bank as much as I can should this change come.

I've tried to keep all the SEs in one corner and they look more like electric power stations than stock exchanges LOL.

Someone asked about the new luxury apartments. They pay 360 coins and take an hour.

You weren't supposed to look yet. And yes... lots of things building. It wouldn't let me buy all the land, though. Maybe you can only build out four at a time?

Your town looks a heck of a lot better than mine. Power plants? LOLOL
 
VIP Luxury Apartments Revenue

pekman: Just a friendly note: the base revenue for each VIP Lux Apt is 300 coins every 60 minutes.
If you own the Sky Cathedral, it adds 20% which then is 360.

I'm also continuing to hoard my coins as long as the stacking of SEs is still available. It seems reasonable that the stacking of so many SEs didn't even occur to the developers.

Thanks, of course you are right! I completely forgot about that wonder.


Solsville: If I could add one more request.

When we add a Booyah ID, can it please take us straight to the town? Currently, it just adds it to the list of friends' towns. We sometimes do not know the name of the town in the first place. When it adds it to the list, we have to scroll and try and find it. Now that my list of friends is long, I am having problems knowing what town I just added to the list. If it took me directly to that town, I can then decide to add that to my friends list or not.

Thanks!
 
##### No worries :)

Happy Friday to you!
I franchised your Saks 5th Ave in coins... :( and I gifted you a buck to make up for the coins :D

Also anybody know if we can get the LAX airport (LA Intl Airport) I've seen a few other small airports but not LAX specifically.

Been there done that.. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: I'm trying to leave my premium skins on so people will get them free with the franchise but ugh..if they arent set to office they don't make the big bucks..lol! I'm gonna go right now and make all the ones I can available.. :)
*waving goodnight to everyone ...ttfn..

I'm from australia and have 10 hours.

You can only expand if the land next to it has already been expanded. Once the land has been cleared then the next piece of land will have the expand option.
 
YarnGoddess - Your Town is Looking Good!

YarnGoddess: I had to take a peek at your town. It is so interesting to look at because of the variety it contains. Did you buy at least one of everything? I'm looking forward to when you expand and arrange your town in your newly open plots of land.

I'm still counting coins. I'm now at 516MM. I'm going to see how much more of this tapping I can take. But I keep reminding myself that my businesses still need to all level upward, so I'm doing two things at once. :p:eek:
 
Wish the update would come soon. Stuck now because I went the long route without having any SEs. My town wont survive with these new prices. Once I get land Booyah is making it impossible to play without buying SEs so I think I will break down and do the SE thing, and that will probally change with update too. 20 of my business's are at level 10 and not one speck of land left to put even an oak tree on.

My mt2 life is complete. I saw the man in the top hat and monocle plus Cupid.

I'm catching up on all the entries today

1. There is the limo in the promo for the VIP so you would think one would come with on of the VIP items.
2. when I first started reading this forum back when it started and read about "stacking" I thought it meant actual placing one on top of the other so I tried it with my 2 SE and it worked!!!! But by the time my next one was built it did not work. Glitches sometimes you love them some times you hate them.
3. The time thing. I have 10 hrs but once back in dec it went to the 4 hr mod but it lasted for about 30 mins.
4. And finally I sold my ugly power plants and water treatments and put up the lux apt much nicer (plus 2 more SE)

NEED MORE LAND
