we have no options though. Also now there is no motivation to use workers because you get no extra
money for hiring them. I think this is counter intuitive to the aspect of a social aspect to playing FarmTown. In effect it causes isolation of farmers from being social because they have no benefit for
doing so. It is complicated now and cold in that using neighbors or buddies has no value except to
give you more fuel for your big expensive toys. Thus reducing hiring friends and neighbors to no social value as an intrinsic part of playing Farm Town. This is a huge part of why I play. This is now
an entirely new game and I am sad and don't like it. Anybody listening out there?  |
I don't think it was a deliberate anti-social act on the part of the developers. My farm caused total lag of everyone visiting it after I bought nearly all the flags available for the countries. It seems the animation of the avatar, flags, animals and other folks on the farms cause everyone to come to a screaming halt. That is especially true if one of the parties is running some other big memory hog app like Cafe World, Wars, etc. at the same time. Even the latest and greatest processors on the PCs are having trouble handling it! So this is Farm Town's solution I assume so that I can still go to my farm and don't have to give it up and for that I am thankful.
