There are many people who started playing FT before I did, but even so, when I started playing, there was ONE FARM! And the ultimate was reaching Level 44, when you could buy The Big Red Mansion!!! It was a cool game then -- great graphics and great opportunities to interact with others.

We all spent a lot of time in the MP because -- short of planting raspberries around the clock -- that was the only way to earn XPs and level up! And, by the way, at that time, we could plow, plant, harvest, sell, and repeat. If you were hired to harvest, you earned coins -- period. If you plowed, you earned XPs and coins -- no change there. The excitement came when you were hired to harvest pineapples!!! Wow!!! That was the ultimate crop -- and oh, we did everything one field at a time. I think the 2x2 tools were available for use on our own farms, but that was the extent of it. And we still had fun!!!

Then, on November 28, 2009, the developers released Farm #2 -- and the fans went wild!!! Then there were the barns and more crops and more levels and more decorations and just plain more of everything.

It was over 4 months before Farm 3 came out -- and lots of people complained about having to have 30 neighbors before you could buy it. In fact, I guess people still complain about that aspect.

Now, pay attention, kiddies. This is where the game gets interesting: Farms 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 all came out not more than 66 days after the previous release! That's just a little over 2 months between new farms. Do you think the developers have been working overtime to satisfy our fondest desires in a most timely manner?!!! You'd better believe it!!!

Not only do we get cool new stuff almost every time we turn around, but when there are minor or major glitches with our cool new stuff, the devs fix the problems PRONTO!!!!

So - - - cool your jets, dudes and dudettes!!! Here's my prediction based on the release of Farms 4 through 8: Farm 9 will be released sometime around the last weekend in March -- as early as Friday, the 25th to as late as Monday, the 28th. That is consistent with the release schedules of all the farms since 4 onward. And I predict the 12x12 will cost you 9 million coins, with the first three upgrades costing 6, 7, and 8 million coins. After that, I would bet on 400, 500, and 600 million to get the full 24 x24 farm for a total cost of 1,530,000 coins!

To those of you who claim to be bored waiting for the next release, all I have to say is, "Where's your imagination?!!! This game is so much more interesting and varied than it was when some of us first started playing -- and it just keeps getting better! It was a GREAT game way back when, and it's only continued to get better and better and better.

Farm Town Developers, you rock!!!!

For those of you who would like to see changes/improvements/new features on FT, the Forum is the place to suggest them. I just wish some of you would be more polite when speaking to the developers. They've been VERY GENEROUS with us. If you're not happy with the speed or creativity of the FT developers, you are always free to leave the game at any time and go play any of multitude of other games available on FB. I'll happily stick with FT for as long as it's around -- and I hope that's a long, long time.

couldnt agree with u more i started playing this game a few weeks or so after it was brought out and like u said level 44 was the highest level u could get and i remember when we were able to plow 2x2 was such a great thing. Not to mention when it first came out you had to plow yourself u couldnt hire ppl to plow for u that came in few months after. I just think while waiting for farm 9 or more levels build ur coins up so that u can offord the 9th farm.
