Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Unfortunately, it looks like the dreaded rollback glitch is spreading…and like wildfire! We posted about the glitch here back in March. Actually a month ago today. We gave you guys the steps to contact EA to have your games rolled back, and many of you reported that the rollback from EA helped but EA also said a patch was coming.
Well….that was a month ago. To date, no patch has hit the games and the glitch is impacting more and more players each day. Not only that, y’all are posting various reports from EA customer service. Some are saying they won’t roll your game back, some are saying they will. Some of you are saying EA says a patch will be here by the end of the week (that was several weeks ago now), while others are saying EA doesn’t know when it’ll be fixed.
It’s a HUGE mess! Leaving loads of you ticked off and ready to leave a game you’ve been playing for years over it. Need more proof? Look at the app store comments for Tapped Out! Players are pissed about this and rightfully so!
It’s enough to make me break out my Angry Socks again…
EA needs to get their act together and fix it, because the worse it gets (the more players impacted) the more likely people are to stop playing TSTO. I know personally, while not currently impacted, I’ve been playing TSTO for nearly 6 years and blogging for nearly 5 years and if I get hit with the glitch I’m walking away. It’s just not worth it to me. The THOUSANDS (and I mean thousands) of dollars I’ve spent on this game are not worth it for the frustration of not being able to play. And I don’t blame anyone of you that quits over this stupid bug. It’s been long enough, it should be fixed by now.
So here’s what I want to do now. We’re going to spend a good chunk of time on Saturday’s Addicts Live talking about the Rollback Glitch and I wanted to get some feedback from y’all on your experiences with it to use on the show. So if you could take a minute to answer the series of poll questions below (if they apply to you, don’t answer if they don’t apply to you) and feel free to share more about your experience with the Glitch in the comments below….
Thanks guys! And be sure to tune into Addicts Live on Saturday April 14th at 12pm ET to participate in the conversation about the Rollback Glitch. (don’t worry we’ll be talking about Springfield Jobs too)
