same here i have lost so many neighbours to farmville ,i get so few gifts from them now ,and i really needed the fuel as i cant buy it ,that i no longer spend the time in farmtown now anymore.Its tedious with 2 farms very little fuel and having to do it manually.

I still don't understand why you would like farmville over farmtown. You can't hire to harvest or plow and you can't chat while someone is working. That is why I like farmtown.

I do like the new items and hopefully will bring your neighbors back

But now you want us to rely on friends for animals to harvest too. What else are we to do with the millions and millions of coins we have on hand?

The only way to get the goose or Llama is to buy them. Some are available to be bought and some are gifts. Just give this program some time, there are still great things to come. Just watch for them.

Thank you for these updates. I am a huge fan of the chicken coop and have many chicks. The extra storage is a huge gift as well!

You need a THIRD farm?

Howinhell do you get meat from an animal without killing it? Said "ones" probably think meat comes naturally wrapped in cellophane.

Doesn't sound like you have to "lock them up." I put a fence around my sheep barn, because it just seemed to make sense (btw, devs, thank for including the llama wool: I had one just for fun, but nice to have him be utile), but my hens are running free like my sister's do in RL.

I should say my "hen," only one so far, but friends can send me a few (hint)

Animals slow the game down got rid of all mine for this reason so why would i want to get more animals just to use these buildings I know I could have the buildings for decoration but would of been happy with new seeds more than anything.
It just keeps getting worse.

Why would you want more animals? because, maybe, it's fun?

Trouble is theres not enough new items and others cant harvest them or anything and as for chat most workers work in full screen so you cant chat to them anyway.In farmville you interact in so many different ways with folk by collecting items from them or help them make , build and assemble things and by fertilizing there crops and feeding chickens.My facebook page is full of comments , jokes and general chat all to do with FV and its fun.

Dont get me wrong i like FT and it was my very favourite upto a few weeks ago ,but i got into FV and the continuous things to do and achieve have changed my thoughts.I think it was the growing basket that did it for me in FT,it didnt work untill valentines was almost over yet FV had gift collecting to exchange for nice items as well as gift exchanging to neighbours and free grabs up for the taking plus loads more going on ,at Christmas they had gift giving to put under a tree that grew and looked fab when finished.

Guess im just bored with just sowing and harvesting and nothing else, accumulating XP thats no good to me and coins i cant spend.

But hey ho i'll still be doing it lol

I like both games, but FV is very time consuming watching teh feed to get items, especially fuel. Without finding in in eggs, you can only do 150 plots every 6 hours counting using all 3 vehicles. Here I can do an entire farm once a day seeding and hire the plowing and harvesting done by others. So I have one farm devoted entirely to crops and the other one devoted to decor. I love having 2 farms. I do agree the animals make it lag and for that reason, it would have been nice to put animals in the barn. To me, the coins is not the issue. I have planted alot and have lots of coins, so making them is not important. Still neat to be able to harvest them with one click and hopefully no tear drops above their heads.

Sure we got alot of valentines on Farmville, but only 6 items to choose from and nothing particurlary geered to the realistic farmer. Here you get alot of choices for coin items. There, most of the new items are cash and teh coin ones usually are part of the cash theme ones and, actually, I rarely want them anyway.

Here I got 100 storage without raising a bunch of barns.

I really do like both, but this game is alot more laid back and is enjoyable for that reason. The other one keeps you continually checking the feed and getting people to help you all the time. I have talked to people more on this game than FV. Conversation on FV is basically, could you help me by sending me stable parts? lol. I like helping people, but here we have talked about lots of things.
