Last week, we examined the reasoning behind earning limited Ribbons as opposed to Mastery Stars in ChefVille, when it comes to limited edition themed events like the County Fair and Halloween Ball. Now that we've made our way into November, the amount of holiday content spread across our favorite Facebook games is going to explode beyond belief, which leaves us to speculate as to the future of ChefVille until the end of the year. Will ChefVille throw a Thanksgiving Feast event, and if so, should you actually try to complete it?
The American Thanksgiving holiday is only two weeks from today, so if Zynga were to release themed Thanksgiving content, it would need to do so as quickly as possible in order to give players enough time to finish what would likely be difficult quests, while also not having the event stick around well after Thanksgiving has passed (when interest may have also vanished or simply moved to Christmas). If there's ever been a Thanksgiving event that would make sense in a Facebook game, it's definitely ChefVille (since both the holiday and game are about cooking a ton of food), but if a Thanksgiving event saw us earning something like "Harvest Ribbons" rather than Mastery Stars, would players really have the incentive to participate?
As we draw closer to Christmas, real world lives become more hectic with family and friend gatherings, and time for Facebook games might fade. Would a limited edition event that only rewards players with a non-functional decoration or cooking appliances that will never be touched after said event is over really be worth the stress of completing it, especially now that there are so many other non-limited quests to complete to just advance ChefVille's storyline? Personally, I'm not so sure it's worth it.
While these limited edition events are always available to complete voluntarily, and we're not "forced" to do anything, it does bring about a valid question as to whether or not a Thanksgiving event should even happen. Would you play through such an event and try to earn all of the "Ribbons" available, or would you only invest your time and ingredients if you knew Mastery Stars were available on the other side?
