another update that does little to address the main issues most people are complaining about like zone refresh . Very little of this will have a direct improvement for many.
you had 18 months notice of Flash going and you have had at least another year after it has gone to make the game stable. Is this a Programmer capability issue or a Platform incompatibility issue or a combo of both. It is clear after 2 and a half years that something is not up to the job.

i like that the devs are working on it.
the title with the changes of the update is "CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS"

another update that does little to address the main issues most people are complaining about like zone refresh .
In the past, we have implemented updates that focused on the "Zone-Refresh" issue, and their frequency has been reduced. Recently, we are seeing more reports of (again) high frequency of this issue, and this has been communicated to our development team. We are aware of this problem, and the team is working on it.
no event info?.. again!
Dev Diary will be published before the event.
and no fix for the "you have been outbidden(?) mail" as well :O
The "outbid" mails are official system messages and system messages from the "Blue Byte" team generally cannot be deleted. The development team has already received feedback and is currently looking into the possibility of making adjustments.

I made a mistake and corrected it today. Thank you for noticing it, I will make sure it doesn't happen again.
20th July 2021: TSO died with Unity. RIP.
And yet here you are, still moaning about a free game.
i am one of the "more mature" gamers and i am fully aware my memory is not what it once was, but i'm sure we used to get event info a week or so before event start, if not more going way back...
anyone who has been playing a year will know what to expect but even so, seeing the info builds eagerness (i won;t say excitement in the current climate) and helps us prepare if necessary. Why is bb recently leaving this info until the last minute? surely not even u can be so unorganised that ur not sure whats going on until 2 days b4 launch?
event info -1

It appears that this update has broken the "zone refresh" popup.
They're still occurring more frequently in the last couple of weeks (and visiting certain friends' islands just freezes up the game and locks up browser and Windoze, brilliant timing just before an event that demands lots of visits and cross-buffing), but the actual "zone refresh" notification no longer appears. Is this how they are "dealing with" the issue, just remove the popup and hope we're dumb enough not to notice the game freezing and time-warping?
It seems like time for events between testserver and liveserver is going down.
For the last couple of events dev diary is always placed on friday before start of event.
This does not give testers time to do proper tests and bb no time to repair any small/major bugs which might appear.
On Monday the Valentine event will start. BB drops and keeps his fingers crossed that they will survive this event without major issues so a hotfix might be needed.
Give testers more time to test and listen to their comments.
Guess zone refresh is not checked when placing event on testserver.
Centering the Togetherness Memorial was nice.
Can you also fix the Spa, Toy Factory, Candy Factory and Pumkin Mansion?
Also, while the Haunted Mansion and Advanced Toolmaker look OK, they 're too big and occupy the front street. Can the be moved slightly backwards?
Carnival grounds, another off-center building...
