NOW if only the oil wells were updated or we could have 2 working wells on a farm.

Grumpy, I mean Grumpa, that is a very crude remark, and it needs refinement.

It's scary how the Dev's read our minds

They certainly aren't 'holding out' on us,
I'm quite bizzy with what they throw out there.

Well, except maybe my attire.
I don't even meet the dress code for mah own Seafood Restaurant.

I just figure they're gonna wow us one day that we can wear
what we produce. A nice silk tie, for example...heehee.
((oh, and Hippy hair...don't ferget the Hippy long hair for us groovy doods~pls n ty))

UPDATE 18th March...
Production in the Oil Refinery,
Bee Farm & Fish Farming Plant has been tripled

UPDATE 19th March...

tripled in the Oil Refinery

• Oh, and I was thinking how it would be nice to be able to drop
• animals directly into their respective buildings...straight from the Gift box.
  
  
  
  

Gotta go plant stuff.

Thanks Raul, and the entire Slashkey Team!

If you do, I think you are mistaken. Who knows why they time the releases the way they do, but this seems off base to me. If you can't wait for your farmcash and simply must spend the money, I don't see that as their fault at all. One thing I like about FarmTown is that, by and large, the "haves", who can spend money on the game, are treated pretty much like the "have nots", who play the game strictly on time and experience and 1 farmcash at a time. There's room for everyone. Thanks for a great game, devs.

I was wondering if anyone else was going to question that assumption -- that 185 players are the only ones who spend real money on this game. I don't know where that would come from. Actually, I've seen plenty of evidence that people at all levels are buying FC, if their facilities are any indication. I'm not at 185 yet, and I know I've contributed plenty of "real money" to this game.

It has occurred to me lately that if the Devs were "holding back" anything, it might have been the release of the 9th farm. They continue to add farms, increase storage space -- this all requires server space, and costs real money. It would make sense that they would wait to release these things until they have the "real cash" customer base to support them. At least, I would hope this is a consideration. It would be too sad if we got a notice in six months that drastic revenue producing measures are required because they moved too quickly to expand without the money to pay for the hardware.

Since they are running a business, it would seem to me that coding, testing, and implementation might even be secondary to the financial considerations.

Thank you for the up-dates

aaagggghhhh!!!

the oil refinery production has tripled...but my wells don't give me any more oil!!!!

no no no no no no no!!!!

this is going to totally mess up the way i play, since i always try to max out every facility at once. this means i need 3 times as many oil barrels (no, wait....SIX times as many oil barrels since both the fuel and petro are tripled....) but i don't get any more oil barrels than i did before.


AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH!!

please please please triple the oil output!!! otherwise i'll only be starting facilites once every 3 weeks, or else having to ignore the oil stuff altogether in order to max out...

you don't need 3 times as many oil barrels to max out, you can max out with the same number... you'll just get 3 times the fuel & petro for what you put in, you can still only put 60 barrels in to max out

Hi.
Of course I get my XP when they release new *levels*. What I mean is that we should have release of levels on every up-date. That's all.

I buy FC if there should be anything I feel I'd love to have. . . and also when I give FC-giftcards to my friends. So it's NOT like I'm wanting something desperately.

I agree with you, it's the *best* game on the Internet, both for us oldies and for the young people. And repeatedly I too thank the devs for that.

Regards
Simera
