New Release -- December 22nd, 2009 - UPDATE

[krbrown2000]

I like the idea of only being able to hire one, which is what I always do anyway. If the one worker you hire doesn't have time to do the whole farm, you can always go back to the MP to hire another one to finish up.

Here'll be the complaint, though: if you are allowed to hire only one harvester and one plower at the same time, the harvester will get mad because what's the point of harvesting if you aren't allowed to plow? So I would (personally) still only hire one to harvest, then let that person plow if they wanted to.

Also, from reading the forums, it seems that some folks grow a whole field of stuff then have harvesting/plowing parties with their friends. I've never done that, but it does sound kind of fun. Being able to only hire one would eliminate that. The others could come and visit, but they couldn't work.

Anyway, I like the idea. But others won't.

One of the alternatives that we considered was to only allow one worker harvesting and one worker plowing on your farm at the same time. This was also suggested by several other users on the other thread, however we thought that was going to be even more problematic.

Please provide some feedback about this other alternative on this thread, or if you rather prefer the way it was before, unlimited hiring, faster work but more potential for collisions and lost coins/XP.

thanks
