I have not heard anything in a couple of weeks regarding new Event content from the developer. It was originally discussed back in September. I have received responses to other questions in the meantime. They are alive and well and busy apparently.
Hopefully we can have a visit from the developer to give us an update as a reply to this thread. I know I for one am anxiously waiting for new event content.

There are some things from the new screens that we would like to keep, but ultimately want to try and take away the friction points and confusion. Rolling back to the old screens is still an option, but we want to see what improvements we can make first. The survey may pop up then.

Hello Factory. Any word on updates as we head into the American holiday of Thansgiving?
Kudos to your company for doing a quick Royal Idle fix for the iPhone 13 "notch" this week. Any word on new event content and/or event ticket exchange & user interface changes. We could use some red meat before turkey day.
Thank you
Todd A.

Are weekly event levels no longer changing? Data says that they are NOT changing from the last time an event was held. If true then this is a show stopper bug because it will now be trivial to accumulate scoreboard points - the same event points that we all worked and/or paid real money for .
I have just now submitted a ticket for myself to this effect.

Hi Todd,
Apologies for the late response. I've been catching up on the forums this week.
New content/changes should be coming soon. Unfortunately, development has been taking a little longer than expected.
As for weekly event levels not changing, can you provide some more details as to what you mean? Are you saying the leaderboard points haven't refreshed? Some more info would be great. Thanks!

Hello and thank you for checking in !
Ah, I see.
Nothing to do with leaderboards "not changjng".
Well if you are familiar with Royal Idle , then when I say that the Idle Frontier event town manager levels are now static like in that game you should understand.
Each event type (each uniquely named event) does not change anymore. It used to. Every week.
Now an event such as “Circus” 12/2/21 will have the same town manager levels as the Circus event that took place on October 7, 2021 and September 2, 2021.
What has been written within this reply can be verified by looking at the weekly event posts written by myself with the input of fellow players
Previous to October 2021 each event was slightly “tweaked” so that it was unpredictable from the last time that unique event name was run.
Please see “Harvest Event” from last week, the comments contain a lengthly discussion between Jeff* and myself, with a lot of detail for you to read.
Example, 3 towns used here instead of the normal 10 to keep it simple.
Event “horse”
Dec town 2: 2, 4, 3
Aug town 2: 2, 2, 4
Apr town 2: 3, 2, 2
NOW, since October it WILL look like this:
Event “horse”
Dec town 2: 2, 3, 2
Aug town 2: 2, 3, 2
Apr town 2: 2, 3, 2
See? All the same. Easily predictable from now on. It used to vary between events of the same name
You must have (?) an email somewhere internally where employees were told to stop changing the mix starting at a certain date.
The game has gone static , or stale, according to some players that I converse with weekly off-site. I refer you to the post’s unique view counts. It dropped drastically before Halloween so it is not due to the holidays IMHO.
Consequently your revenue must have dropped as well. Yes? Many of the players drop $5 or more weekly to at least Warp or other reasons. What would be the point now. Knowing for certain each of the current event’s town manager levels drops the urgency as the pace can be calculated for the time left.
Some players feel that this will provide an unfair advantage to new players rendering the real money some have paid wasted.
The peasants shall not be pleased, O' King, tread carefully.
I sincerely hope this is the information you desired.
I alteady have a support ticket submitted for this, submitted last week.
Thank you,
Todd A.

(To the tune of Oh Christmas Tree)
*Oh Factory5, oh factory5,
Why did you abandon us
Here we wait, until you post,
When you write, we read you most.
Oh Factory5, oh factory5.
We hope that you really heard us*
(etc, you get it)
...
Please write back regarding weekly event bug where the event town manager levels are stuck repeating.I have answered both requests for more information in personally submitted support tickets as well as here in this forum thread. We need to get these event manager levels tweeked again weekly, as playership will definitely decline.
*Oh else - COAL in your stocking. Yup, there I said it.*

Hello, folks.
I spoke with developer support this week and gave them some requested information and additional questions regarding the new content that they are working on. They do not have a timeframe for when things will change here but they are working on it.
They are now taking a break for the holidays. I will let you know when I have an update.

Happy New Year everyone. I will create the "New Year's Eve" Weekly Event post momentarily.
I have posted a request for the developer to provide an updated list of events for 2022. We have not had an event list update since October 2021. Also I am expecting a follow up to my support tickets regarding new event content when Kongregate returns from holiday.
