Hello tengaged!
I just wanted to let you know that I haven't been on this website for like 5 months, and discovered so many changes throughout the various games.
The one that is hard getting used to most is the 12 hour cycle, and there are a lot of pros and cons to this smaller amount of time.
The game is a lot faster, which is great; however, a faster game means harder time to keep up with what's going on in the game!
For example, lets say you are shopping for like 3 hours, eat lunch for an hour, and take a 2 hour nap (I don't know, just thinking of random things).... anyways you loose 6 hours of 12 hours... and before you know it you're nominated and booted out of the game... lol.
