I've started working on the advanced village set! Here's what I have so far:

I have 1,400 comments at the moment.

Sorry, I had my terms confused. Anyways, I also plan on majoring in computer game design, so if Thrive is still around then I might help if I can. But that will be in a few years.

I've heard of Thrive, and I am very excited for it. But, like you said, unfortunately there is only one developer and progress is going very slow. Also, although I'm sure that Thrive will be very good, EA has much more resources than the Thrive project. EA has a lot of money and is able to hire professional developers to make games. I'll take my chances with Spore 2, if Thrive comes out and this petition still isn't too popular then I may just give up and move on to Thrive.

That is a very interesting idea! I honestly did not know that that existed, it could definitely work for Spore 2. I'll add that to the OP and iPetitions page, with credit to you.

Great! I'll make the necessary color changes and throw together some instructions for you.

I will add you to the list zachdog, Grox will be made after I finish the instructions for whoster.

I have not seen a thread like this. This is not your average thread about Spore 2, this is an effort to get the community together and show EA that we really want Spore 2 and that there are many others that do too.

If I were you also print it all out and even all other info of ideas and everything. It all has to be throughly explanined!

I'll explain my plan for you so that I can see if there is anything I can change.

I will wait until there is a large amount of signatures (I will shoot for 10,000 signatures if possible) before I send the first letter to EA and see what they say. The letter will include the following:
-Printed list of all signatures
-Detailed list of features (I will compile that once I have more community feedback)
-A long "essay" with the reasons why a sequel to Spore should be released and why it would be worth it
-Possibly a list of developers and other people that the community would find right for the job

Anything else you would like me to change?

That might work to make the head more pointed. The head is my least favorite part.

EDIT: How's this?

Might I ask, what program are you using to design the figures themselves?

The figures are being made in a program called LEGO Digital Designer, or LDD.

I've finished. I'm not too happy with it, so feel free to suggest any changes.

I'm working on making sure that all the parts are available in those colors and making instructions.

I plan on mailing them a list of all the signatures once we gain enough. Nearly everyone will listen if you are loud enough.

uroker2010 wrote:But the way it sounds. That spore is going nowhere. meaning no updates,patches,expansions. Like everyone else been saying EA stoped SPore and moved on with SIMs and other games!

So EA won't listen anyways!

I will admit that there is the possibility that EAxis might not care, but that doesn't mean that they for sure won't. There's no harm in trying if there is a possibility. I would rather try then listen to everyone complain that EA abandoned us.

The SPORE!

The word "Spore" in this case means the birth of something, like the seed of a plant. So, we'd add a little bit of emphasis to the name and it would be like you're saying "the BEGINNING"!

Which is why I've signed. :-)

This OP is not useless begging for more expansions/packs/mods/patches, it's a whole new beginning!

I agree that it should not be called Spore 2. I like the name The Spore, it sounds right.

In reality all it took was a forum moderator (Parkaboy) to send it to them to get their attention. I honestly don't think the number of signatures had anything to do with "getting their attention". If anything all it turned out to be was a list for show.

I don't want to just get their attention, I want to get them to actually do it. Which is why an abundace of signatures will be needed.
