Anyone Mad At Island Paradise’s Developers?

On September 22nd, Meteor Games launched a new update that took majority of the day to upgrade. Well before it upgraded, I manged to get into my island and everything was okay. Got to spin the wheel, grab a few coins, checked on my crops which still had 10-12 hours to finish; checked my animals, trees and etc then I logged out.

Well the following day I go back to my island, I’m missing 1.5 million in coins, all my trees were reset as if I didn’t click on them yesterday, most of my crops were gone and for some reason, ‘Meteor Mike‘ or whatever his name is ‘revived’ my crops [that didn't disappear] that didn’t need reviving.

I know what you’re going to say – why care, it’s just a flash game? I don’t exactly ‘care’ it’s just the amount of disrespect from the developers. They haven’t apologized, haven’t given anyone a response to their ‘Support Tickets’, no update on their fan page – nothing. It’s like the fell off the face of the Earth. A lot of people actually went to Target, Walmart, and online and purchased meteor credits; they’ve played this game since the game was released. I’m assuming a lot of hard work went into their islands.

Speaking of that, a lot of people over at the Island Paradise’s fan page are complaining of missing animals, islands, money, crops, trees etc. This “update” did more harm than good and its got people pissed. Their rating is slowly plummeting as more people complain about the things wrong and missing from the game. People can’t steal from other players islands any more, can’t fish because their rods disappeared or they get a reload error.

I know one thing, if this isn’t a lesson learned to those who supported this game by actually buying items with real money. The lesson to be learned here is…don’t do it. You’ll regret it later, especially if they go all Houdini on you without a simple explanation. The spin wheel is beneficial and if you’re patient, you’ll get meteor credits. Don’t spend your money on these type of games. Nothing is fool-proof but this one should be from here on out.

Well, I’m one of those players that have played since the beginning. I took a break from it for 9 months [I was pregnant with my son] and decided to reinstall the game. Sad to say but I’ll be uninstalling this game and never will I play it again. I was going to wait and see what they were going to do about their mess-ups but it’s been 5 days and no word. So goodbye Island Paradise.
