WHOA! hold on just a minute

i just took someone's suggestion and read the information given at the airport in the info section...
by sowing seeds in the greenhouse you can ship (via the ship) tropical fruits to obtain horseshoes, and when you get enough you can buy the horse ranch? because it says you will receive a valueable gift with which you can buy the horse ranch...

but with this 1st island we arent getting the seeds and as a player who sometimes buys gold when it is worth it, why when we use gold on the island, or even farm money to buy the happiness buildings, are ALL the island buildings resetting?

it really seems senseless that the decos are being reset when the production costs for everything are so high...when the gourmet farm was rebuilt we got back dollar per dollar all we had spent in both money and gold which was fair, but i guess because you warned us beforehand we are just supposed to throw tons of farm dollars and i guess stupidly (when i realize now what i could have done wt my gold on the other farms,) use gold in order to get at least past the 1st chapter...
because as im playing this now i realize when EVERYTHING resets there is now way in insert: "the burning forever hot place" i will ever get the 4th finished in a month

or is this going to be in 4 chapter divisions that repeat or be like the event where we can choose which chapter we want to go for? and that cant even be a possibility if we start from scratch each month.

did you developers at GGS attempt to build and finish all the chapters in 30 days before you gave it to us to try?? is it even possible not using gold?

anyway the main question or suggestion i have is that...oh pfft now i cant see why it would even work...but wouldnt keeping the happiness decos we get or buy, or even making it more unfair and even more for the gold buyers, and keeping the things bought wt gold?

personally, i think the island itself has so much potential as a new farm...i think you should scratch the whole start over idea and make it a permanent feature, maybe not erase it at all but only bring it back every few months to progress it....then it would still be an event to strive to complete but not a ridiculous cost of time and money to all the farmers who have other things to do than play it 24/7/30, like work, and have children, and a life

    I agree with you

    Its a shame we are going to lose all those nice decorations and upgrades in a few days. don't know why they just don't sell us the seashells for millions of dollars and not make us work so hard for something that wont last.

    We'll add the update to make the seeds available within the ongoing event time (at least we hope to), so you should be able to get seeds in this event already :)

    It is not just the seeds but all the hard work and dollars we are investing in the island. Probably the island is on another server separate from the regular farms we have now and they are just paying to host those farms on that extra server but if they could find a way to store the info once the month is up maybe we could go back say once every 3 months 4 whatever and be able to continue to work the farms if we have not completed them and also have new tasks for those people that did complete theirs ie another chapter. Online storage of info is really not that expensive its whether GGS has the will to make that investment in the future of the game ideas they come up with.

    I am half-heartedly playing this island farm because I know it will be gone soon, if I knew it would be back it would make a real difference. Winning a deco is not that important to me, the seeds are more important for the future of the greenhouse. I wish I knew the exchange rate on shells for seeds. That would be really good to know if someone could find out.

    My family and I were so excited about the island coming because we love the hawaiian-style theme. Now, we feel totally gypped of getting that as a "real" farm. I thought we'd finally be able to see where the truck guy's niece(?) came from but it can't be Hawaii--Hawaii isn't in another country so there is no "exchange rate". If seeds cost more than I've made with the first two or three tasks, I guess I'm out of luck because if this is temporary, I don't even want to try expanding the farm. In fact, as it is temporary and not really ours, the "brother" should have at least bought enough land and cleared it before even trying to set up shop.

    Hawaii is a foreign country for the majority of players here :) !! And it's a foreign country for GGS, the German makers of this game

    It doesn't say Hawaii anywhere either, that I can see. Just 'Tropical Island'

    But it is just a different style of event which you can choose to do or not. I doubt few will fully expand and have everything upgraded and I doubt GGS expect us too

    I'm just enjoying a change of event and wait to see how worthwhile the exotic fruits turn out to be. And I'm particularly curious what the Paddock will 'do'

    just relax and have fun and do as much or as little with the island as you want or feel able to do

    I am in total agreement..... I am figuring to only get chapter 1 done and then that is it as the tasks in Chapter 2 are even more ridiculous.... collecting 600 Summer Slushes at a cost of 20,991 $ for 70 I hope and NOT for each click on the produce icon (running at 75% happiness) and three Fruity Flips at cost of 125, 947 (for what 1?) is totally ridiculous! so thinking to take a pass on rest of event.
    Also I produced a batch of coconuts and they totally disappeared... no credit given in my farm management... so I am leery about doing another as it takes 50 fertilizer to produce one batch.... fool me once......

    "Hawaii is a foreign country for the majority of players here :) !! And it's a foreign country for GGS, the German makers of this game"

    As far as I can see it's on an American server and they are willing to use U.S. currency $ so as far as I am concerned my farm is located in the U.S.




    "It doesn't say Hawaii anywhere either, that I can see. Just 'Tropical Island'"

    Which is why I said Hawaiian-~styled~ theme not Hawaiian theme. Also why I said I'd thought we'd get to meet up with the guys niece; the guy who is in the truck sure looks like the guy who has the Hawaiian niece (Aloha?). When I saw that he was going to be a part of the event, I was excited to maybe get to visit her.

    Either way it doesn't matter; I was more interested in having a new island themed farm. I would have been very happy to spend the extra on building it up if we got to keep it; I am sorry that's not the case.
