No Spawn and possibly a confused account?

OK, I did not think to make an issue out of it, but after posting in the developer's letter thread, and reading some of the responses, I start getting worried.

Did not get any spawn at all since the re-work. I was away for a few days around this time, and so suspect that the system stopped spawn after two days but did not recognize that I was back playing.

But what got me really worried was this reply by PirateLee (and again, thanks for taking a look):
"Could this be because this is a level 1 account that you have only accessed twice and you have not yet done anything with the city. Also your game field is almost filled with trees and rocks maybe you should take a look."

As I have a level 38 account, and no rocks in sight (and all the trees are where they *should* stay, thank you very much) I was wondering if my account got somehow confused? I started a new city a (long) while ago, could not log into my old city, panicked, logged out and cleaned cache, got back to the old city, and did not dare starting any "suburbs" since. Is it possible this deserted city is still lurking there trying to erase my beloved city and take over my game?

Oh, nearly forgot. ID number is 3783813. In game (ridiculous) name is Tamtam70.

 

Thanks a lot for the info I only had your name to go by as you did not post your ID and that was a level 1 account.
Just another reason we always need ID accounts as you are aware by your comments above.

I logged onto your top end account at random and see this :-

All of these are well after the reset but it may be we have another issue.
Can you confirm they stopped on Saturday. I cannot tell if you have been offline or just not collected since that time so any information would be helpful.

Regards Pirate.

 

PS

I double checked and exactly as you thought the "Tamy" account is just in limbo and not really active so the system will delete it very shortly.

 

A further update, I logged on as you and I hope you dont mind I removed some of your spawn items of which you have many here are the logs:-

The trees you are using in your parks and other areas are actually spawn items not decorations so if you leave them in place the system sees then as not collected.

At some point the system may indeed find a spot that is not yet filled but until you remove the majority it looks like you still have lots to collect.

I hope that makes sense?.

 

First thing first: thanks for all your efforts. Looking at the logs I realize you are not precisely having fun solving these issues, and I really appreciate your work.

To the point: Aha! So if I leave my forest in place, the system will assume I do not bother to clear spawn, and as a result there will be no drift wood washing up my shores and no more trees growing on land?

I guess I can live with this. As long as I know nothing is bugged, I would rather keep the forest, and give up the bonuses from clearing barrels/driftwood. (And with three kids, I have enough cleaning chores as it is ).

Thanks again. Please feel free to close this thread.

 

Having given my answer I have also posted this as a question to the dev team and if I get anymore information I will post it for you either direct via email or on the forum.

Best Regards Pirate.

 

Sorry I logged on during transit via Airphone and the system did not like it so it looks as though an imposter posted above...it was me.

 

Thanks again, Lee. I suggest if and when you will get an answer, to post it here, in case someone else ran into the same difficulty.

 

I will close this for now as many posts are getting hijacked with unrelated issues and reopen if needed.
