I'll need to get some petitions with specific examples if you really think there is something wrong. Thanks.

Is this glitch back or is it just me?

Possibly the moral of this story is "don't assume, scout first". I always as a precaution scout my closest herb patches - this is how I detected that something was wrong.

Were the herbs that were partly depleted during this time permanently depleted to a new level or will they respawn to their previous size? From what I've seen it seems that if you depleted a square to 1 herb during this time it won't respawn back up to its previous size. |
The herbs/grapes that were not exhausted have regenerated to their former base level.

I tend to agree with TD (that's twice now! :o) ... this sucks, for some players more than others, but sometimes things suck and you just have to deal with it. It won't be the last time things change in Illy, planned or not. But surprise glitches like this one are fairly infrequent, in my experience.
However, my earlier question "Why not?" was meant to be more substantial and less whiney than it was apparently taken. Sorry if it came across as the latter. I would like to know, if the devs don't mind telling, why they decided not to replace all the depleted patches. Presumably, there are some bugs severe enough that they would be retroactively "fixed" in some manner. Why not in this case? Is is too much work? Does the coding make it near impossible? Is there a worry that the "fix" would generate new unfairnesses? Is the bug viewed as not important enough to bother accounting for? I really am just curious---I'm not trying to be inflammatory. :)

Providing there was at least a *little* heads up ;)

I'm not interested in discussing "what if" scenarios. We deal with each situation individually and this is the resolution that we have come to for this situation.
I'm sympathetic to how frustrating this may be for you, and again, all I can say is I'm sorry.

Well if you're just the messenger then what do we care what you are interested in discussing or not? When things happen, past behavior is an indicator of future action. If things go wrong I expect the devs to fix them, if that's not happening then I have to ask myself "what if" this happens in the future. The devs are gods, and the best we can get from their prophet is 'sorry'? I'm building my sandcastles in the sandbox and the gods come by and kick them down.
I recognize that I am not the customer to the devs, never spent money, probably never will. But I am part of the product they are selling, without the community of people for the customers to play with, their product offering isn't as good. That's all part of the free to play model.
Biggest thing for me is the game suddenly became not fun, guess I either leave or wait to see if becomes fun again. That was the choice the devs made.
No reply necessary.
