Well all games start to repeat them selves at some point, smart game companies just use the aspects of games that work and implement them into there own game, pointless getting into a copying conversation because this game is similar to pokemon/monoplay lol.
Haypi seem to have left a bad taste in people's mouths after announcing there haypi monster "relaunch", I can understand why there doing it but I'm afraid that the servers that are already lacking players will take another hit and make it a ghost town.
A lot of people might dabble in both games, but if I was a newbie I wouldn't want to play the game where people already have a distinct advantage, i would prefer to take my chances with the new game.
Another attracting thing about TLT is that it looks like everything is capturable, just the gold payers will get stuff faster. Now this will blind fold most people into thinking this is an improvement, until they implement the OELs after they recieve a big enough player base.
In not having a go at haypi, I'm just stating a few things that are true and will most likely happen, I've come to terms with this because all freemium games follow the same sort of pattern, it is the best money earner for the company so I can't blame them for doing it.
P.S Thank you for all the information provided, I'd appreciate any other minor/major details you discover.
