		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;To say the least, I don&#039;t like the widget factory at all. I have been playing yoville for less than a year now but I never got to see the sweet factory that everyone keeps talking about. Its sounds like it was way better than this stupid widget thing. Again, I do NOT like the widget machine at all and hope it goes away soon.!!!&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Hanging out in front of the apartment is stupid and causes lagging. It is annoying to the yovillians who need to get into and out of their apartments. If you people need to hang out go do it at the beach if not at the club, or how about the coffee shop or even Vinny&#039;s, geez how hard is that. I mean what is it with hanging out in front of the apartment anyway???????????????&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

I cant do one thing without it asking me to get more neighbors, I am not playing the game to market for them!! Then i bought something and confirmed it and they took out the coins and then it disappeared and I never saw it again not in the inventory nothing. I think I will stick with farmtown!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Waldron’s advice? “Be sure to listen to your users. You get a ton of useful feedback on social networks.”

Waldron needs to take his own advice. He&#039;s not listening to his users anymore. 99% of his Facebook users are unhappy about the new sweets factory and want the widget factory back. I won&#039;t waste your time reiterating why the users hate it. He knows why. He&#039;s a smart man. Now he just needs to be a honorable man and keep his word.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a user of the application, I would have to say they need some serious help. The application is run a muck with hackers using the popular program WPE Pro. Not only that, but it’s costumer support is practically non existent. The company also has an ‘F’ rating from the BBB, and it’s sad that such a great opportunity is going to squandered. I hope for their sake,and that of their players, they head the advice, and lite to user feedback. If they don’t change they way they conduct business, I positive they will see the fall of yoville just as quickly if not faster as they rose.

Travis — 1:07 AM on April 2, 2009


Agreed Travis!

Recently they came out with a new idea to intergrate a new way for their players to make an income, obviously to help generate more income for the Z game itself. Yet in doing so they figured they would cut and make earning the coin (players income) harder to obtain. They have just ramdonly picked players to test this new income maker. In everyday terms all hell has broke lose.  Inspite of the 95% of players rebuke of this new income making idea which is called the Sweets Factory, they are adding more testers as we speak, without any choice of this testing I may add.  I would think that with a game that gained such popularity in such a short time inspite of the hackers, and lagging, and gliches, they would listen to their source of income the players!  If they want more generated income add the items players are screaming for, instead of adding some activities to the game to make it like their ever growing popular game Farmville (copy of FarmTown). Congrats to the devs for their sucess on Farmville, but why make an obviously unqiue game as YoVille all on its own into a something the mass majority of players don&#039;t want it to be? Im just blabbing now im sure but the bottom line is Wal&#039;s advice was to listen to your players. As Wal&#039;s post indicated listen to your players input, well maybe they should readdress what he said because based on the YoVille.com forums and many other Yo fan sites they are about to lose alot of their players (income) if they proceed or don&#039;t re address this new concept they are trying to push on their customers.]]></description>
