Very interesting. But I'm a little confused about your bio. Do you still currently work for Maxis(EA), more importantly TSO?

*cough cough*... sorry, gotta take back my comment because when Parizad rolls her eyes she KNOWS something is up.
....Gosh darnit.. now I have to redo my whole dang post because Parizad is messing with my head.. One minute you arent you and the next you are LOL.... Anywho, I think its great that we now have an "insider" so to speak. Its also wonderful that you play int he game and are willing to speak directly with the players. We may acutally all be able to collectively make a change. You can also help us with the techniquel aspects such as updates that may or may not be comming. Please give us you ideas and share your knowledge, we are all eager to know.

He doesn't sound like he knows the fanbase very well. No one is interested in the economical standings of objects or finances. People want new content period. If you are attempting to take the bull by the horns.. go that route.

So far he has managed to confuse an entire thread of people. TSO : 0 EA : -1

I agree with Corp here.

The reason why you have a bunch of goal less rich sims is because they got tired of doing things the slow way.

Give them goals, give them objects... you'll be amazed at what new content would do for this community.

Enjoy your soak.

To be perfectly blunt whether you are real or not.. this sounds like something comical to you. Which is fine. I don't object to joking.

Why would an employee of EA want clients to post their opinions on a personal blog instead of the official game forum?

Started that in 1997 when we wanted to change what SimCity 3000 was back then. Did the sma eagain when we launched the Sims many month before we shipped. It is easier to manage than through the "official" web site.

Would you actually take the time to improve anything at all.. or is this yet another thing we are told just to keep us hanging on to hopes and dreams that are rarely fufilled....Also, can you answer the bruning question of wether we will or will not recieve our fourth year gift.. or is that off limits to you?

Well, I am doing research now. I'll give an update almost everyday on the blog.
(more on the blog than the forum). But I will be coming here too.

Whatever we do will probably be in a new city though

Awesome.. Many players think TSO is a dying game; in part because of the exploit. Maybe you can help revive it. If you are looking for more opinions the forums has billions dating back the last few years. In case you didn't know, it has been about 2 years since we had a real update. (Not including the anniversary gift.)

Bottom line: HELP US! WE LOVE THE SIMS ONLINE AND DON'T WANT TO SEE IT DIE!

Good luck!

well, howdy Luc...
Just hope this new city doesnt fall apart like DC did. I truly loved playing tso til the botters and scammers took over. You want to know about the economy... ok, heheheh... there is no economy! Its so lopsided by cheaters... everything from what I hear is too expensive to even think about buying. I gave up 1 1/2 yrs ago on TSO. I'd love to come back one day.... what are you all planning to bring people back? There are more of us that have left than are in game now. Sad.. but true.
