New Release -- November 28th, 2009

[Raul]

Hi There,

We just released a new version of FarmTown which includes support for buying a second farm in the Realtor Office.

This release will be completed in phases, right now only 50% of the users have it, we will be monitoring the load closely and will be releasing the new version for the rest of the users over the next couple of days.

The new farm, and all land upgrades for Farm 1 and Farm 2 are now available in both, coins and farm cash.

To switch between your farms, use the Farm Selector tool on the top left, near the coins.

To move items between your farms you can use the Item Storage until we release an easier way later on. You can now add trees to the Item Storage as well.

When you hire others, you now need to select the target farm where employees are going to work. If you want them to work on your other farm as well, you will have to hire them again.

Everything is shared between farms: neighbours, coins, cash, xp, trophies, etc.

Holiday items are comming early next week.

After this we are going to focus for a while on the issues with the lost coins/xp when working for others, which seems to be happening to some users...

[***UPDATE***] This release have already been deployed to 100% of the users

Thanks

thanks for the hard work guys and we appreciated that ... great to have second farm instead of making it bigger ... more decorative items please, not only seasonal and more crops to plant (but thanks for the additional crops recently ... they're awesome !!)
and one more thing ... server ... me and some farmer friends are having difficulties to find our old inn every week (especially on weekend) when the servers are scrambled ... can we make the inn unique ... ? thanks !!

When I heard about new land, I thought it would be to make my farm bigger. I don't need two farms. I just need the one I have to be bigger so I can fit more stuff on it. I love the game. I just wish I could have bigger land. I'm really looking forward to the Christmas decorations. Thanks

Exactly, I have worked really hard on my farm with my own design. I would love to add to it. I am not interested in another farm, especially if the xp, coins, cash, storage, etc. are shared between the two of them.

Also, if anyone can tell me. How do I report a problem I am having since the new upgrade? Here is an example: I hired someone to harvest my farm. When he had everything harvested and was ready to plow, I Had to refresh before I could hire him to plow, which is rediculous to begin with. When I refreshed only about 1/3 of my farm was harvested and the person I hired was gone.

I refreshed a few more times, as I did want the person to plow, but it was the same thing. Finally, I went back to the market and hired someone else, harvest first, then plow. That person kept asking if he could plow. I said, "Sure when you finish harvesting." He said there was someone already doing that. I saw no one and nothing was being harvested. So, I hired that person to plow. My farm refreshed for him, as usual, which is also rediculous. When he came back he could no longer see someone else harvesting, so I had to rehire him to harvest, then plow.

Well, it seemed to work. He harvested, then plowed and I planted a different crop than the one that was just harvested. The next day I accepted some gifts and went back to my farm to put the gifts out, and found that my original crop was back, but only in the areas that didn't show harvested after refreshing to hire the first guy to plow. It was at 71% ready. The rest of my field was showing my new crop at 30% ready.

So who do I tell? and how?

Level 44, I believe.

[oji2003]

level 44 and TONS of moolah.. some of us will never get there I am afraid.

Are there any plans for linking existing farms? I have more than one farm under different account names.. is there going to be a way to move items back and forth that way? That would be nice..
