Sending Multiple Items From The Wishlist

Ok as we all know there are always game glitches in video games. mostly the online variety. Take advantage of this one while you can before it is fixed.

This is all about sending gifts from your neighbors wishlist. When you are looking at your neighbors wishlist it will have the icon of what they need. Under that icon it says "Send". Right click you mouse and choose "open in new tab". Do that as many times as needed and as fast as you can. You will notice each new tab takes you to the start page of the game. You will see it on each tab that the item was sent and your neighbor will have that many in their inventory.

Who knows how long this will last so take advantage, lord know they have done that to us...

Understanding "Beta"


When you first log into CityVille you will see the logo “CITYVILLE” in big letters and then in very tiny print next to it “Beta”.  This is what developers call new software before its official release. During this phase there can be many problems such as the ones we are facing. It frustrates everyone who plays but if you know it is going on, maybe we can understand and chill out a little.

During the beta phase developers are always changing things around to see what works best. This is the time to get rid of all the bugs in the game. Such as, game freezes, not getting in, visiting neighbors and my favorite of all, work for 30 minutes just so it can tell you “oops we cannot save, please refresh”. All of your work is gone.

Remember we are all test users of this game right now, so we are all the guinea pigs. Once the game is in official release, these issues will be resolved, they will have new servers to handle all of the play and we should have no more problems. Keyword is “should”.

I know some of you will still not be happy with this but at the very least you now have an understanding as to why we are having issues.

Hope this helps…
