Why all the item prices doubled?

[melby29]

Thanks to everyone for the feedback on the current coin prices changes for Bakery Story! Unfortunately, we are not able to revert the prices back to their original amounts at this time. Please note that price changes may occur as you continue to play the game and adjustments may be made to the economy to ensure the balance, quality, and longevity of the game for existing and new users.

Please continue to share your constructive feedback regarding these changes and we will continue to pass the feedback on to the team so they know how you feel about these changes.

Changes to the "economy" of the game?

No successful ECONOMY in the world has ever had 100% inflation overnight and survived.

Like the real economy, this ridiculous, pointless, unfair price hike will just result in everyone going out of business.

Well done, TL.

(I guess the Mods will be busy editing posts today)

"balance, quality, and longevity of the game for existing and new users." I'm not a stupid person, but I really don't understand what this is supposed to mean. Can you please explain WHAT this means?

There is no balance, quality, or longevity for new players. Have you or any other TL employee started a game from scratch? Or even played from around level 20? There is no way to make the money needed to even purchase the newer appliances, let alone any of the decorations. There is no way for even a level 96-100 player that hasn't been able to get the coins to expand fully to even expand at these prices, let alone new players. If they can't expand, then they can't purchase things to put in their bakeries, even if they could afford these new prices.

All TL is doing is forcing players to purchase gems with real money, and if you guys haven't figured it out yet, most players ARE NOT going to do that because of your gem traps and poor customer service. Wake up.

TL is going to lose new players, players that haven't downloaded are not going to due to comments on the forum and in the App Stores, and old LOYAL players are fed up and are going to leave (because they are sick of this happening constantly or because they are losing neighbors and don't want to get new ones).

Is TL trying to phase out these old games and feel the only way to do that is to get people to quit? The "team" is making really bad business decisions and like all other BUGS and COMMENTS, I won't be surprised if these aren't listened to either. There are still bugs in many of the games that are not getting fixed, but they keep adding more games or updating the existing ones in a way that makes the players want to leave TL.

Kudos for these changes, as you've just lost more players. I'm sure you're proud and I'm giving you a standing ovation. Woot Woot, go TL go.

Well said!!

I have an idea.

Just logon to itunes/ samsungstore and give 1 in rating for the game.

Maybe rhat make TL wake up...

This^ ...is exactly why I quit RS recently (that, and the very poor interior design choices - no offence to the graphic designer(s))

(Back on topic...)

I wonder what kind of feedback TL was expecting... they can't seriously think in a few days time when all this dies down that people will just roll over and get on with it. Such a shame, BS was a great game and I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it!

Ain't nothing like digging a hole for oneself, but this price increase will turn that hole into a grave and nobody want's to see BS in the ground

Good idea. I will do that now.

I just rearranged my backery, blocked to door and said good bye to my neighbors.

I use to only accept parts.. Now I'll accept only food. Hopefully I can still get 50 cappuccinos from my neighbors.

Eh?! Super Fail! Hello "Edit"?! Tut <_< a forum, minus an Edit feature is so not cool *sigh*

Ignore above post (my apologies for double post)

I would love to see that. I take that back... I would pay to see that. Considering the already ridiculous plates-per-batch-cooked rates (275 plates for an 8-hour recipe? Seriously?) and the fact that those recipes sell for a meager $4 coins per plate, I foresee a riot starting in the RS threads if they double the prices of everything.

One of my favorite items on RS is the black Lounge Chair (retails for $19,000). After playing RS for almost three months, I've only been able to purchase one. ONE.

My restaurant looks a mess because:

1. I never have enough coins to decorate properly.
2. I never have enough coins because my restaurant is almost always closed.
3. My restaurant is closed because my counters are frequently empty.
4. My counters are empty because I sell out of food constantly.
5. I sell out of food constantly, despite cooking ALL THE TIME, because of the low yield per recipe.
6. The low yield per recipe generates low revenue and low profits.
7. Low revenue and low profits = not enough coins.

This is starting to sound like a modern-day Greek tragedy.
