Island destroyed after 2 days! (2)

Had my island for two days before getting the message about a "storm" which took my island away. Is the "30 days" by calendar for everyone or 30 days after you obtain your island? Took forever to understand why it disappeared. And when I get it back (will I?) will the buildings, etc., be there?

    GGS is behaving in very funny manner.

    my island is a blue grid and other farms are not properly visible for the last 12 days. have sent a note but no one seems to be bothered.

    the island is available for 30 days from when it firsts appears. not from when you click into it.
    in other words if you have not been online when it firsts appear i would go to the airport to see how long you have. and will come back eventually but you have to start again. hope that all makes sense.

    Like all other events: When the Island event start, it start for all players at the same time, whatever they have the required level or not.
    So if a player raised to level 30 when the Island have run in several days, that player have loos the days which was gone before that player have raised to level 30.

    Players who not before have try playing the Island, carefully notice this: The Island is a very expensive event! - it cost millions of dollars each day to run the Island, if you want to go for complete all task and get the top reward!

    I agree it cost me a lot just to get to where i did, second chapter but had to stop after i did the first part just got the 750,000 shells but couldnt make the drink for stage 2, I was however very dissapointed with the shells to dollar return when the island closed i dont reccommend putting loads of dollars in the bank to leave them to change to shells at the end, i came i think 145th did quite a lot and had just over 1,000,000 dollars left in my bank and ALL i got was 14,000 shells i feel totally ripped off, would i play the island again not a chance

    Thanks All! Answered a lot of ?? I wondered if it was worth my time/effort/$ so if you can't see the real benefit I guess I wasn't far off.

    Wendy, my advise is, until you have raised to level 80, only produce oranges and orange drink on the island, and maybe go for doing the first book.
    When you are level 100 or higher, you should have a fair chance to complete all books on the Island.

    Yes, keep in mind, the prize for the first chapter (aside from shells you can use to get extra horseshoes and stuff), is better than an Event Decoration on Hardest! And you get a month to complete it. :)

    But yes, its a money sink, and the temptation to go farther than you should try, has bankrupt a LOT of players.

    EDIT:
    I second what Brian said here above - and, if I may add: not only wait until you have reached level 80, but be sure of sitting on a reasonable amount of spare millions of Farm Dollars !! So: make sure you can throw some millions away without jeopardizing your main 3 farms!!

    (f.i.: I had $ 200 mio at level 100, but 1 of my coop-members only had $ 15 mio at that same level!)

    Of course you may, and thank you doing it. :)
    On the just ended Island: When the Island start, I on my skn farm have around 320 million dollars on my account, now I have 262 millions dollars... And that farm daily earns several millons dollars. (at least 3, I thing more) - and this time I did not completed the 3'rd book, because of the shortened time (28 days) + we lost around a ½ day on server downtime few days before the Island end.

    The islands are all temporary farms. They disappear after the set date it has been assigned.
    The island will come back some other time again, but you will have to start over again from scratch. Everything you built won't stay! All the Island money you had won't stay! All the goods you produced and didn't sell won't stay!
    The are just like event tasks you have on the main farm. These you have to accomplish too in a set amount of time in order to win the achievement.
    Islands are just like these events. If you finish a chapter you win a prize.
    Except like people above said before this is a real costly business to achieve. (Think in millions.)
    It's better to not deal with the Islands until you have played for a while and earn quite a bit daily with your permanent farms.

    I started the 1st island stupidly, I'm no were near level 80. I'm sorry I started these silly island events people should not be able to start or do these events until they reach a high level. I started the Viking 1 by mistake, jumped it clicking thinking it was something else, only to find it was another farm. Now my ship won't let me put any goods on until I open the island farm. I think we should be allowed oppt out if we feel we can't afford it.
    I thought the ship blocking me might be a glitch but I cant find anything on the forum. either way I'm not doing any islands there a rip-off.
