That quote was from the update today for TC3. Like Milton said, I'm sure they need to make sure all the things on the current update work before issuing out the gift.
The fact that it is done and ready to go is exciting!!! I can't wait to see all those that get one!!

The 4th gift was meant to be uploaded [to the EA store catalogue for testing] Yesterday but something happened and it never was brought into game.

Gift box? Hmm....wonder what's in that?
Milton.....could you use your staple remover and take a peek for us?
**Sure hope it coincides with the opening of EAland. Would be nice to replace a few of those slots that were moved to TC3. In fact, I have only 1 'production city' sim on one of my 'old' accounts since those sims are in TC3 now, so I'll be short on my anniversary gifts.

I'm with you on that.
I hope they allow us to make a sim in our [old production city] slots used for TC3 creation to recieve our 4th and 5th year Achievement awards. Otherwise many of us who created in TC3 to get the place started will be screwed for our efforts.

I do not understand how you would get screwed. I "think" gifts go by entitlement days now so you would get them in any case. Now that gifts will be handed out in TC3, what is preventing the other gifts from being delivered to those that are owed gifts there?

Well, EAland should be open soon from the sound of it and we have been told that we probably will be able to use our spare slot on EAland. I don't know about anyone else in my position, but I do plan on making that spare in EAland when it opens especially since they are going to be closing sim creation in the production cities in the next few weeks. So it would make sense to distribute at that time.
I wonder also if the 'amnesty' is still in the works?
Should be interesting to see what their timetable is on some of these things.

I don't really wish to sacrifice another old sim either. So I'll cross my fingers they'll have that slot ready to go for us.

It shouldn't be an issue. They have said TC3 and EALand will be on different clients so there will be no patching necessary. So that should eliminate any possibility of a rerun.

I dunno. It took months for people to get to TC3 if they didn't delete a old sim to go to TC3. Remember we were suppose to get a button so all could play there. It took a long time before it was made so EVERYONE could get there without deleting a sim. Hope that makes it easier to understand the point I was referrring to about a rerun.

I wasn't around for the button to TC3. My understanding of the two clients should work as such: You have 1 icon for TC3 that is its own entity completely separate of EALand. Same for EALand, 1 icon for it that is totally separate from TC3. Essentially, it would be two different games, not linked in any way. Kinda like 2 different servers. So there is no patching involved and all information for the database is kept separate.

I know about the extra slot. I'm just saying having TC3 sims in the way shouldn't be a problem simply because they will be on their own client server. Which for those that had 2 production city sims, this will free up one slot. As far as the extra slot that you are referring too, I don't this current dev team will make the same mistake twice.

If you had you would know you must have all slots filled (all sims created) at the time of distribution or you miss out on getting them on what would have been that sim (slot). They are not added later as you create sims on empty slots.

Okay, so here's the skinny:
Let us think of yesterday's update as a 7 freakin' hour long dress rehearsal.A lot of the stuff we wanted to get in there (<u>such as 4th year anniversary</u>) did not make it, and the ATMs were bugged.
So today, we're going to try again. I will update the title of this thread when I know what time we'll take the server down. Downtime won't be nearly as long as yesterday. At most, it will be 90 mins.

I don't think Ronin missed the point at all. I think you are trying to turn this thread into your very own....'Poke Ronin' thread.
The point is.....we are missing sims in the production city because of tc3. Meaning we will also miss out on Anniversary Gifts. Personally, I have an account due campfires this week and I will only receive 1 because my other 2 are in tc3.
Now Ronin said that Parizad had mentioned that TC3 and EAland would have different icons meaning the EALand slots and TC3 slots would be separate, meaning we would finally have access to that missing 'production' city slot.
I totally get it. Thanks for reminding me of the convo at the pub Ronin. I had forgotten it.

Maybe I should just not worry about the anniversary gift at all and just move along to a game where other players would truly would appreciate my time and effort? ALL of my old friends are gone from TSO anyway, if not for the very few new good friends, there'd be nothing at TSO for me at all.

And as for my stuff, don't ask? It would all get deleted.
We should ask the devs to make it like "king of the hill". They could just make 1 great big gift and what ever subscriber is left at the very end would get it?
