New Release -- December 22nd, 2009

[Rosie the farmer]

THIS business of making you wait for the avatar before you can plow or harvest one patch IS BAD, BAD, BAD, BAD!!!!

I just worked a neighbor's small farm --- and it took FOREVER!!!!

You have just made FarmTown way more frustrating and a lot less fun ...

I have stuck with this game through its various incarnations and I can understand glitches in a beta game and needing to be patient while glitches are smoothed out and worked.

But with this change, you have actually DELIBERATELY changed it from better to worse!!!! Who the heck does that in developing a game??????

Anyway, a lot of my neighbours have already given up on FarmTown. I don't blame them.

Until and unless this gets changed back, I am not going back to the marketplace to hire or be hired because I just don't have the kind of time it takes to do that.

And there are lots of people like me ... so it will become a less social game. If that is your goal --- to make it a less social game --- then congratulations, you have succeeded. But this will result in far fewer FarmTown players.
