UPDATE!! [8/6]
Mayors,
We have identified a specific issue that causes crashing in Trade
Nations and have included a fix for this in our next update. As crashing
can be due to many different behaviors, this may not fully resolve the
crashing some players experience. However we are confident that this
should alleviate at least some of the issues you are facing with
crashing. We will update you with more information as 5.2 is finalized.
Hopefully we'll have a release date soon. Anyone heard if it's a just a stability rev (that'd make me plenty happy :-) or if they're throwing some new goodies in too?

I am hoping that we will get a venue that seats more than twenty neighbours. Hopefully then more of my neighbours will get to join my party's... Pretty Please with a Cherry On top
The best place to play an accordian is in a sound-proofed room so no one else needs to hear it! LOL Just kidding (mostly). ;) I hope we get some new venues too...
I'm hoping we can build more shops in Frontier. I can barely keep up running my parties back to back. Have to depend on speeding up parties at times.
Definitely need more shops and more items to purchase with Fame points, especially in the Frontier.
+1,000 Nini. We definitely need an increase in the number of shops we can have in Frontier.

Hey, I play the accordion! I can do a mean Rick Astley cover on it too :)
I hope they give us a Discotheque venue!!!

No offense meant. ;) It's kind of like the bagpipes - very unique and distinct instrument, not so commonly used or seen here in the US, and therefore kind of an acquired taste.
Can you imagine 15 accordionists and two pipers in the same room?
Wow.
I see there are at least 2 new decorations: a troll under a bridge for 500 mb and there's a talking tree (I saw it in a neighboring town), but I can't seem to find it in the decorations menu. Anyone know where it is?
The Tree of Wisdom was a limited time Item of the Day the weekend before last, it was 200MB for 18% bonus.
The troll under the bridge is in the deco. Menu between the golden sundial - ancient column. 500 MBs 46.4% Maurice
Thought it was available in Frontier but can't find it now. Sorry.
5.2? New Crash?
Hope all crashes will be removed! 
I would love to see new flowers in classic!!! I remember many of us were begging for this last year, but there has still never been any new additions other than those in frontier village.
Will we get a new splash screen?. I've had the travelling salesman/mayor in frontier forever..... Or am I supposed to do something to change it???
I really hope they increase the shop limit in the frontier. That's really my only gripe right now... maybe some more house options in the frontier also.
Fix the crashing .... That's all ...... Any new content is likely to cause more crashing. Fix what's there before confusing the matter with more complexity.
Indeed, in fact this is the only thing we want. This is my opinion too.
No response from TN anywhere about anything. See tweeter, their dead website, nothing in FB.
Any update? Fixing of crashes? Get the crystal ball out.... And wait & wait & wait, wasting XP and Fame Points. Is it really worth? I wonder.
First thing:
the crashing must be fixed. During the collection I crash about every 4 collections. I have about 80 collections to make every (average) 4 hrs, it takes me about 20 min. to do the collection.
Second:
I would like to have better parties in Frontier and the possibility to make the Frontier parties Epic too. In Classic we have the artshow, the opera and the masquerade, all good parties. It should be more attractive to join the parties in Frontier. Although the parties in Frontier require higher levels, they are not as good as the ones in Classic. Artshow is better than Cabaret, Opera is better than Variety show, Masq is better than Jamb. Frontier however is back in every way, less shops, less houses to build. TN is called Trade Nations Frontier, but Frontier becomes second in everything.
Third:
I would also like to have more equal parties. Parties in different venues which can compete with eachother. Now we only have 1 that is best. We do not need more venues, better parties in existing venues is an option too.
Fourth:
Wouldn't it be great if we would not have to give up our lives for the game, but it could be played BESIDE our jobs, sports, caretaking tasks, social contacts and so on and not DURING.
Ofcourse, it is your own choice to play intensively, but if you don't you loose famestatus, medals and/or you rob your neighbors from EPIC games. I would like the game less demanding. More like trading the shops. How peaceful and quit that was compared to what it is now!
I really hope we have an update soon.
+1000 cliffe. I am in agreement with EVERY one of your points. I couldn't have put it better. Did you already put this on their official forum? If not, I'd make the suggestions for you.
I feel like 5.2 will fix some of the crashing but for sure not all of it. Even when I had no parties going, which many think are the problem, it would crash. I expect they'll add a party venue to each land and yippiiiieeee MORE OVERPRICED MB CONTENT. O well, I'll still play it everyday :)
I'm kind of annoyed with Z2 for posting this to give hope for 5.2, yet clearly doing so before they've even finished making the new version.
It's no surprise I stroll my neighborhood and see half-empty art shows with 12 hours left at some of my better neighbors with all the people burnt out on the same old same old with 5.0/5.1.
I've been taking my time getting to 80/20, but for all the people who blazed through the 5.0 content, Z2 has given little reason for contiued playability. I would hope 5.2 addresses some of this...
i think there were daily special items offered only at a certain times...maybe they would come back on sale later.
@Cliffie1 - I totally agree as well. Especially point #2. I think a lot of us have voiced that we feel that way... I suspect they'd only make bigger changes like that in a non-bug-crushing releasing, but we can hope, right? :D
Add a button for collecting all of party one times.
@Yawo
I've been saying that they need the 'collect all' button for a year and a half and it's still not offered but even if they do in the future don't hold your breath about it being offered without it costing an absorbent amount of beans! Z2 always good for that! For people like me that have a lot of nations it would be way to costly.
Z2 wants you playing the game as much as possible and they found the perfect way with the party system. Having to check in to each party keeps you playing, the more you play the more likely you are to buy beans. I would love a "check all" button too but I very much doubt we'll ever see one.








I'm hoping 5.2 will have the new venues for the accordians, music boxes and first aid kits we've been accumulating. I have over 80 accordians and no place to play them :-)
