Get ready for massive rewards and some big surprises in the next update!

I didn't want to get my hopes up too high because I feared this would happen, but there we go. It's fantastic that Gargamel comes to the game, but the circumstances are unfortunate.
He is such an essential character that I think everybody should have the chance to get him through game-play alone. Be it quests or smurfberries or both. But selling him and then at a very high price? That's not cool, Beeline. I think even people who don't really know the smurfs - beyond their existence - are aware of him. Smurfs as such, Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Gargamel. I'd also say Azrael, but I think more people are consciously aware of Gargamel than of his cat (or know it just as cat). I'm glad that we can get Azrael in the Mystery Boxes. Difficult, but eventually he'll come. I wouldn't mind more versions of him! But it's great already that we have him at all But not being able to receive Gargamel without spending a lot of money is sad.

I wonder how many people are going to buy him. He is so special that surely some people will splurge even though they usually wouldn't be willing to pay that much, but I wonder if that number is higher than the number of people who would buy him for $10. But again, if Beeline is striving to only made unnecessary additions EOs, then really, Gargamel should be 'free' (obtainable through game tasks/currency).

Hacks, cheats and exploits? Are you talking about the bugs Beeline put in the game because they didn't test their updates properly (and probably didn't play the game themselves)? Are you talking about the bugs that for once aren't hurting the game, but give the players something instead of making the gameplay more complicated or even causing the loss of villages? Is Beeline seriously blaming players for ... you know, playing the game? Like the most recent dye bug? Nobody did anything to get that. You simply played the game as you always would. If Beeline complains about that, they have to take a long and hard look at themselves. And even the smurfberry bug for which you had to do something: It was Beeline's fault. Not the players'. If Beeline puts something out that players benefit from, they can't blame the players.

''Beeline strives to ensure that all the items that are made available for real currency are non-necessary additions to the game.'' A kiwi or bobcat family is unnecessary. Adorable and I love them, but not 'necessary' to a Smurfs game. But Gargamel? Really? If there's ONE character that is essential, it's Gargamel. There's a lot of smurfs that have less importance than Gargamel. I think Gargamel (and Azrael) are necessary additions. They are special, yes. Beeline doesn't have to put them in a gift box they place in everybody's village. But at least make him (/them) available to everybody through game-play. Be it a large number of long/difficult quests or a large number of smurfberries. If they want to charge money, at least make it the usual $25-10, but if they are '[striving]' to only make 'non-necessary additions' EOs, then they shouldn't charge any real money for Gargamel.

''In fact Exclusive Offers and the higher priced Elite VIP Exclusive Offers eventually all do see their prices decrease. Items are added to the Rarity Shop, or the Game Master's Mystery Box.'' Are you saying that somewhen in the far future Gargamel (and other EOs/VIP EOs) will come to the Rarity Shop or be in a Mystery Box?

Spelling Bee, this is nothing against you. It's not your fault. You are, unfortunately, the one taking the brunt here. Thank you for providing teasers and information.

To my knowledge, I don't think there are any land expansions in this update.

CHances are he'll show up eventually. Especially with gargamel coming.

[ern57]

Do y'all think they will put him on sale again before the new update? Missed him when he was 9.99$

[Astro King]

Wow you still have so much space! I agree Grumper fits the grove..

[GoodBadandtheSmurfy]

Always be prepared, 'res' stands for reserved.

[Y3nzid_Raxip]

Where to put Grumper? Where to put Gargarmel? Decisions decisions ????????

[Moontje]

You are so right. I might have bought the castles as normal EO's, although I have already spent like 400 euro on this game. This game is just way to expensive. Gargamel should be available for everybody and I definitely won't buy.

[yosinori saitou]

yes, Sassette will be excited so much, but maybe not as much as you????

[GoodBadandtheSmurfy]

The smurf version of Magnolia.

[Astro King]

Good, thanks for sharing the quotes, the reason behind the characters! I appreciate the cartoon even more now.
