It might not be a popular suggestion but I know a few of us have said that we'd be happy to wait.

It's a busy time in Fairyland between now and New Year - all the Hallowe'en stuff, then the lovely Winter things, and I think it would be a shame for something new to get in the way of those things.  It's a lovely time of year in Fairyland and it would be nice to be able to enjoy it without worrying that we have to find the time and the room in our gardens to do the new thing too.

January is quieter, and having the New Thing released then might fill that gap before the spring wildlife arrives.

I know there are some people who are really impatient for the  new stuff to arrive - I was one of them too, but I'd love to be able to relax and enjoy the winter wildlife first :)

I also think this would be a good idea :)

No thanks. We've been waiting for an incredibly long time for something new to be introduced in FL. Those of us who have literally had nothing new to do for quite a while now are excited about finally having a new challenge to work on. As with all of the previous challenges and critters that have been released, you don't have to begin until after the holidays if you don't wish to.

I don't know ..A lot of my friends have disappeared I don't think the winter stuff would entice them back .

I would be happy to wait till January x but will join in whatever xx

Ohhh no... January ?
Sigh... I really hope not. I am truly ready for something new. I realize the testing and sorting out glitches takes a bit of time, but I hope it comes soon  :)
I guess we all have our resons and I respect all the thoughts expressed here, but I for one am ready. If others want to finish Halloween stuff etc first they can still do that and start the new stuff later since it is going to be a long term thingy anyway ?  :)
Hope things are going well for you Mike xxx

I really hope this doesn't happen. I mean, if it's genuinely not ready until then, that's absolutely fine of course. But I hope the usual  seasonal stuff I've done a load of times already doesn't get in the way of something new. I'd much rather be doing the new thing than yet more of the same old thing. And November doesn't have much in the way of seasonal stuff other than Peace Doves, so that would be a great time to be working on the new thing!

As someone who has also done everything there is to do & been waiting for ages for a new challenge, I totally understand the longing for the new challenge, I just personally prefer not to have everything in one go (which is why I thought the Tracey's idea a good one) then a few months done the line, nothing to do again. Either way I will be happy with whatever Mike chooses to do. :)

I support the idea to delay until January.. there are so many challenges coming up with Halloween pots then the Christmas advent calendar !! Lets take the pressure off and just all be happy when it happens !!

I don't mind waiting until the New Year as I still have lots of things to do here and it will give the NQ players a chance to finish their newest levels and seasonal stuff.
