Evidently only some servers are affected. More than one of my neighbors have told me that they like the changes. My only reasoning for this is that some were affected in a positive way, while us unfortunate ones try to explain to them about servers....as we plod along.....

I'm beginning to wonder if it is specific servers - yesterday while I was playing, I was switched around to several different servers, right in the middle of playing. I was lucky, I was working with a very nice farmer who even came to look for me after I was thrown off the game (my farm just suddenly started loading). We had both issued and accepted buddy requests, but after I ended up at my farm, his name was gone from my buddy list. Luckily he send me a note and I could click on his little green man and get back.
Here's what happened:
I harvested the entire farm. My avatar sped along like a good little energizer bunny, but the coins crept up very slowly, even though all the fields looked harvested. While we were chatting, the farmer left to look at my farm. When he came back, he commented that it was strange, only about 1/4 of his farm looked harvested. It was the corner about where my coin counts were floating up. Almost directly after that, I was thrown back to my farm while I was just sitting typing in the chat box.
The farmer sent me a note, so I got back to his farm by clicking on the green man. He rehired me, and I reharvested the other 3/4s of his farm again. this was a farm that was all field except for two squares! We chatted for a good long time, then when the coins finally all clicked up, he hired me to plow. Plowing points & coins took even longer to click up, and I had planned to hire him to harvest and plow my farm, but once I started, the game wouldn't let me hire him to work on my farm. I issued the request, but he never received it.
This very nice farmer hung with me while my coins/points clicked up slowly after plowing, then we both went over to my farm that he finished in a matter of moments.
During this entire process, I saw several times that I was moved to different servers. Maybe someone was watching me play and trying different servers? In any case, I didn't write down the numbers because I was frustrated with the game and barely care any more. Last night I was lucky, and had fun with one very nice farmer who was in the mood to chat endlessly with me, so we had fun. But I'm back again to only working on my own farm to try to level up. That means I work a lot on the weekend days I'm home, and don't do much all week.
I used to work in IT, am a very good acceptance tester, and would willingly work with you devs to help you debug what's going on if you let me know ahead of time when you would like to work. I can only help on weekends, I have a job during the week and can't spend hours and hours on FT.
Let me know if there's something specific I can do to help you figure out this problem!
