New Release -- November 28th, 2009

[Sandie Angel]

I have just posted the following in the facebook, and this is my own opinion:


I think that it's good that farm town continues to grow. The choice of a second farm is also a good option as I can see that my own farm is getting big, and when I see my farm from a distance, there's really nothing is too clear.

To have a 2nd farm, starting all over is just as exciting as you have just begun your 1st farm, perhaps more so this time, with all the new stuff that are due to come out and you sure know what to expect of yourselves to make your 2nd farms grow.

To have a 2nd farm or 3rd farm all linked to our 1st farm isn't a thing of new, we've seen this option in many other games here in facebook, i.e. Fish World, Fish Life. Both these games you can add upto more than 10 fish tanks. So to complain about farm town giving you the same option would be absurd.

The only thing I could think of that is negative about this is the price of the 2nd farm. I don't think many players are willing to put forth 3,000,000 coins for a 2nd farm when they can simply apply for a new facebook account, and then open up another farm, but the bad thing about opening another account to have a 2nd farm is that you can't name that 2nd farm the same name, you have to give it another name, and it is not linking to your 1st farm.

If you have bought a 2nd farm through farm town you don't have to worry about signing off and on, or forgetting passwords and stuff like that, and you can also move things from 1st farm to the 2nd farm.

I don''t know. I like the idea of the 2nd farm linking to my first farm, but to buy it for 3,000,000 coins is a bit too much. Perhaps Farm Town will lower this price to make this a more pleasant transition.

it did say that it would be a second farm. spelled it out very plainly in fact. don't complain because you did not read carefully enough.

I agree - I want to upgrade my Farm #1 not any other farms

I love farm town and will argue for it against my friends who play farm ville but i do question some of the programmers decisions here.

Can you tell me how this update is not being implemented in an efficient way? They are rolling the update out slowly because past updates have taught them that major updates to all 300 + servers at one time can cause major problems for people that takes weeks to fix and puts them behind on what they want to do with the game. The last time they did a rolling update it took a month this one is only going to take a few days in my opinion that is not that bad. Just because you don't have the update doen't mean they are being inefficient about this update. I wish people would stop comparing farm town to farm villa there is no need in doing that. I don't play farm villa but I do play other zanga games and if FV is anything like them it is a joke when it comes to updates and how things work. In my opinion Zanga would rather turn out more apps to make more money then to make the apps they do have great apps.

In this post you say ft has 16 million users in another you say 18 million FYI Farm Town as over 27 million users.

And was even more ecstatic when I went to my farm and found you can store the flowers also!!!! I had extra flowers I couldn't find the right place for and didn't want to sell them so I can use later. Now I can store them instead of having them in just a bunch. Thank you so much!!!! Can't wait to get my second farm!!!

I am reposting this because I just went through the thread and saw that it costs $3 MILLION coins to purchase a 12x12 farm!?!?!?! Is this what we have waited so long for???? Then the upgrades start at 100,000 for 14x14 and increase by 100,000 up to 20x20 for 400K???? So a new farm and all upgrades costs 4 MILLION COINS!?!?!?!?!?

That is completely ridiculous!!! Our original farms cost a total of 230,000 coins for a 24x24 farm!!! How is a total of 4 million for a farm 2 sizes smaller even remotely fair????? That is so out of proportion!! I can see the 2nd farm costing like 100,000 coins and each upgrade costing 10,000 or 15,000 (since it was 5,000 difference for original). I know there's inflation, but I bet one reason people play games like this is because we don't have to worry about it like the real world!!

We have waited so long for this option and now, to me at least, it feels like we're getting screwed!! I think you need to rethink the prices and make them more fair. I'm level 42 now and have about 2.6 million coins and have been playing since spring/summer. So I have saved up. But for those who haven't been playing as long or like to buy holiday items and more decorations, 3 million coins for the second farm is really ridiculous and FAR FROM BEING FAIR!!!!

I was so excited when I saw the top of the thread but then completely disappointed when I discovered the costs! We've waited so long, please go back and make the costs more fair!!!!! Especially for those who have been loyal and patient for all these months of waiting!

There's my rant for the day!

THIS IS A GAME NOT REAL LIFE. If you have been playing since the spring you should have tons of coins unless you have spent them on things, I personally think the 5,100,000 coins it takes to get to the 24x24 second farm very fair and just right, it makes you really work for more land and not just get more land handed to you because you have planted a farm full of any crop. Coins are free and easy to get in this game the developers could have made the second farm FC only but they didn't. A week ago I had over 6.5 million coins, and I have not worked for others in about 3 months, which let me buy most of the stuff I wanted and to upgrade my second farm all the way up to 24x24 now I'm low on coins again but I can always earn more by planting crops or pimping myself out at the mp.

Also have you tried working on a large farm with loads of stuff on it? Lags a lot doesn't it? How do you think that will be if the farm was even larger? Most people simply don't have enough RAM to process that and would render the game unplayable for many thousands of perfectly happy farmers.

My farm has plenty of stuff...24x24 and full to the hilt, and no, it is not slow and does not lag. And, there isn't anything magic about 24x24 being the largest when it comes to Adobe Flash.

[sugar2002ukuk]

Not so new I know it was against the rules but have spoken frequently to people in the marketplace who already have 2 farms.

[SparkyTX]

OK, I can buy a second farm, but will we eventually get to enlarge the farm we already have?

[CatsChair]

I think this is great! I only have one FB account and have been on FarmTown long enough to have a nice little nest egg put away for just such an investment. Of course, I think something good is worth working and waiting to get....so I have my farm and a couple of expansions and will keep plowing away until I get to a high enough level to max out the second farm and start to pretty it up for the holidays. Good job!!

[flutterbyeshelly]

woohooooooooooooooo I'm sooo excited I woke up this morning entered farmtown with the pop up message that I can buy another farm!

so off I went, spent everything I had (well almost lol) and I'm impressed at the ease of swapping between farms.

I've not tried the hiring part yet but wow FarmTown creators you are all amazing ... thankyou so much for all you do to improve game play.
