Keep Joburg Open!

Share:

Once Zynga pulls the trigger and starts the South Africa shutdown event, it would be very nice for the players if they would open up the Bonus District and leave it open. Many are still working on the achievements and 15 minutes of Joburg isn’t enough [1], [2]. Once again we are experiencing an increased number of white page loads and it sometimes takes 15 minutes just to get the game up and running. This excellent idea came from an anonymous comment on one of the South Africa shutdown posts.

  1. Loading issues can be used to a lot of things... not sure how loading issues can be a problem for Joburg? As Joburg has been around for what? A year? A year and a half? But suddenly special help should be granted due to loading issues? Hmm... why not just give everyone everything for free... that way nobody would have to do anything ever again... :D :D Give everyone all the achievements for free and blame it on loading issues and/or script abuse, lol :P

    1. If you finished it all what does it hurt if players who haven't get the chance to do it. Nobody knew SA was going to close. Maybe players wanted to work on Mexico instead. Loading issues do affect this. You have 15 minutes once it opens. Say you get a session time out for clicking on something that triggers it (it doesn't only happen when you are idle) and then it takes you 5 minutes to get your game re-loaded. Now you only have 10 minutes.

    2. Well, everything in this game shuts down at one point. And after 1½ years in the game, those who wanted to finish it did...and those who didn't probably didn't care... so why give them even more help? A shut down event usually offers a +20-30% in mastery, which should make it even easier in its own... so making Joburg open 24-7 would just make it another district...and nothing special or something to desire... not to mention a mockery to those who actually spent countless of hours completing it the way it is now.

    3. And since the shut-down event hasn't even been announced yet, people have been given a fair warning and should be doing Joburg now. It's been close to a week since it was announced here... a week is a long time in Joburg. EVEN with a white screen here and there. Besides, what are the odds of getting white screens JUST as you open up Joburg? I just think it would be fair to all the others who completed it fairly, to just have it be open for business 24-7.

    4. I don't know about you but I don't want more people to quit. You can live happily knowing you have the South Africa achievements when the whole game shutsdown due to lack of players. Many play this game because they like to help others, some play this with a me, me, me, screw the others attitude and soon that's all that will be left.

    5. Well, that's how I feel about every single script player in the game... to me they all have a "Me, me, me, me and screw YOU" attitude... they don't care about who they hurt, as long as THEY get what THEY need... so, I think it's safe to say that we are already there.

      And I am certain more people have and will quit this game due to script abuse and event overflood, than we will see quitting due to SA being shut down (if those who haven't finished Joburg gets their way like you are suggesting)

      But once again... reasoning with a script abuser is totally futile... so, go ahead and suggest this to Zynga... I hope they listen to you... and then maybe someone can make a script to auto-complete Joburg, so no.one actually has to go there... I mean, come on... it would be a complete waste of time, right? And if a script can finish it for you, why not do that? Use those excellent MW skills, that script users have developed over time... suing scripts :) lol

      Yeah, when I quit it will be due to scripts ruining everything and/or Zynga for drowning the game with events. But NEVER because a limited/special district isn't open 24-7, lol... it's part of the game... Joburg is supposed to be a challenge... but yeah, I see how it can be affected by a random white page ;)

      I like most of your suggestions... but I gotta be honest... sometimes you're so far off base it's unbelievable... and this is one of those times, sorry (mean no offense)

  2. because of "Family Business" and other stuff, i have family members that didn't finish SA yet - MW used to be about helping each other and i would like that to come back...
    Just my 2 cents ;)

    1. It will NEVER come back to that... it's a nice thought, and I am sure many would... but those days are long gone. the social part of the game extends to people asking "Do we have a script to do that?"

      The social part of the game died along with the flooding of fake accounts and massive script abuse... I'm not saying it's 100% dead, as there are still some people who try to be social out there, but scripts have taken over the most part of what was to be considered "being social" in the past... with auto.posting and what not. Most people just stick to themselves and stare while their scripts play for them and brag about it afterwards... but bragging isn't really being social :P

      The game as we once knew is dead... and it will NEVER be revived

  3. Who really cares about SA shutting down or what district should remain open. When it's gone it's gone. Should have completed it along time ago and beside SA only benefits serial levelers to begin with.So who really cares
