Why can’t we trade all Gold stickers during Golden Blitz?

Monopoly Go players expressed frustration about being “gold-locked” during Golden Blitz events, unable to trade for new stickers. The developers explained that limiting the event to two gold stickers at a time elevates their importance, encouraging more participation in live events.

They acknowledged the issue of missing gold stickers and assured players that more Golden Blitz events featuring 5-star gold stickers will be available in the Monopoly Games Album soon.

In response to this Monopoly Go question, the developer explained that the naming process begins early in the creative development phase. However, names can change throughout the process before being finalized.

The team brainstorms themes based on real-life locations, such as Sydney or Hong Kong, or explores in-game stories like Mr. M’s Mansion or the Dice Factory. They also venture into imaginative settings, like the Fairy Village or Unicorn Land. The main priority is ensuring the names are fun and engaging for players.

Once a working title is proposed, it is shared with the entire team for feedback, especially from the artists, who design the boards, and the legal team, who ensure cultural sensitivity. The final name is locked during localization when the title is translated for a global audience.
