    Oh yeah, I agree that's not an epic saga like Sims 1 to 3 who's unfolding before us :(

    You know why I'm staying here when I absolutely don't like Sims 4 and could have left the forums ? Because I have a lot of fun reading and answering in the various threads and talking with great peoples :D

    And I'm curious to see what's going to happen to the game XD

    Aye that to is the reason I stay
    but alas I do feel that with each passing day
    my End is a step closer than the last..
    'Tis fear itself.
    But I stay;
    For I have much to bare witness
    I have much to document and wonder...

    I can just picture Munchie reading Dariu's poem like this:

    I think it's the same for a lot of us, @Dariu ;)

    Not bad, @Crunchie885 ^^

    *thread goes quiet as suddenly the background begins to play a befitting BGM from the LoTR/Hobbit OST*

    Back on Topic though. Yes there are many things the team didnt took into consideration
    before going "HEY LETS GIVE OUT A FREE TRIAL"
    :<

    Repeating the same mistakes (in regards to how strong their servers are)
    which is weird though.
    with better technology in this day and age
    you'd think they would fix and better up their servers.

    Oh my...
    *Look being her back*
    Ok, for now, there's nothing XD
    *Sigh of relief*

    Yeah, let's not turn that thread into an RPG one XD

    You're right @Dariu, they repeated again the same mistakes :o

    I wonder how many people will use the trial and will go "Whoa I am so going to buy this, it's a shame they didn't put toddlers and open world in this trial" and then they buy the game and go: "WHAT!!! I paid $50.00 for this - WHERE IS EVERYTHING!"
    That's pretty much what I said when I first played it

    Oh my XD
    If you reacted like that, @SomeoneFromLongAgo, then it's probably going to be the reaction of some who will try the game XD

    @linesa: Ha, ha, ha sadly you are probably right. If anything EA are probably discouraging people from buying their game :)

    their marketing team
    and promotional team
    ...

    how the hell do those people get their degrees from university?

    Lol, they probably didn't, EA probably cut corners.

    This reminds me of the joke:

    Q: What do you call someone who graduates at the very bottom of their medical school class?
    A: Doctor.

    ...more specifically MY doctor :s

    I don't know if this is a good idea, but I hope that it will work. However, I feel like Maxis should do more surveys on what the players want from The Sims 4 in the future, like what kind of family features we'd like to have, gameplay features, small improvements etc. if they did that and actually put some ideas from those in production, I would think they listened to us a lot more. Just some comments by SimGurus on the forum threads like "we read Ideas and Feedback sections every day" and "we hear you" doesn't feel enough to me to be honest.

    It's probably true @SomeoneFromLongAgo ^^

    And what's incredible, it's that Sims 2 got a revival almost no one believed in even if a community was still here XD
    And in my opinion, it's not doing Sims 4 any favor that his old big brother is back and kicking :#

    Even Sims 3 who was disliked by some got some new love XD

    Poor Sims 4, he's really unlucky XD

    You know @ULIBABA66, I think they don't really need to to survey when they have a forum full of players' wants /wishes and ideas ;)

    @linesa Yeah I know what you mean. If The Sims 4 has emotions is must be a mess at the moment... poor thing :D

    I'm surprised we aren't seeing a whole lot of new names on the forum... is Origin still a mess or did people just ignore grant's request? :o

    You're right @SomeoneFromLongAgo, poor game XD
    I feel a bit sad because he had a lot of potential, and it got wasted :(

    But I'm still curious to see what he'll become ^^

    Maybe some peoples are trying and will come later to tell what they think of the game, @blueasbutterfly ? ^^

    @linesa I am also curious to see how The Sims 4 turns out. For me its the best Sims game I have ever played and yet I still think it is badly made. I have played The Sims 3, though I didn't play it for long so that's probably why I prefer The Sims 4. Either way, for me to keep playing The Sims 4 EA need to improve it on a massive scale!!

    Has anyone pointed out that Origin often do free trials of their new games. I think they've had Fifa and Titanfall on there too. And since Fifa has been the top selling PC game on most charts for a while, I think it's fair to say that it is a marketing technique that works for them.

    I have noticed this as well @Cinderellimouse It does seem to work for them.

    But FIFA is Glitchy and there are people who hack in it.
    and then there are the super FIFA freaks
    who memorized every button and combo
    and gets ultra mad if you tackle them

    Yeah, like there's no way to bypass that forced online :\

    I absolutely hate when a supposed solo game have a forced online :angry:
    Online is only good for multiplayers in my opinion :\

    I don't buy that anti-piracy thing with the forced online : it's just to see what we're doing with the games in my opinion...
    EA's method seems to have been quite efficient. See http://pc.mmgn.com/News/oh-you-pirated-the-sims-4-good-luck-with :)

    alot of people are dumping the sims 4
    and moving to something simple and fun
    like..

    I have a doubt, no only with Game Time

    When you download and install a game from Origin, it comes with all patches up-to-date or you must check for updates?
