Lexington Room Keys pulled

Last night, around the same time that the third Don's Gift item, Hunter Boots, was released, we also found Lexington Room Keys on our free gift page. Now this morning I find that when trying to send these items, they load and send as boring blue mystery bags. So apparently Zynga made another OOPS, and instead of just riding it, decided to pull it altogether. Kind of stoopid.

This has happened before, you would think Zynga would learn from their mistakes. A few weeks ago, they released Antivenom on the free gift page, and then pulled it again the same night. The Antivenom was for the previous secret district which just ended, Snake Island. In that case, we wouldn't see Snake Island for several more days yet, so it was more understandable to pull the item after its inadvertent release. This time it seems kind of stupid. A., that they'd turn around and make the same stupid mistake and then pull it, and B., the Lexington Hotel secret district will be out any day now.

At any rate, check for it again in a day or three and you should be able to send it again. For now you can still accept those which were sent to you last night.

  1. Learn? No way. The disappointing thing to me is, not only did they: 1)do the key release then yank it, 2)have issues with entire families being able to issue battle challenges, and 3)put that nifty message up on the top of the game admitting they know there are issues - they are not making it up to the players in any form. Not even the gold mystery bags. That's a few too many issues in a 24-48 hour period to not do something to make it up to us all.

  2. The person in charge of pulling the trigger to release new content must be a Gemini. One half of said person wants Lexington keys to be available, while the other doesn't. Multiply this decision many times over and you get this waffling effect which is sadly becoming the standard modus operandi.
