One of the problems with doing that is that farmers come and go and often return after a hiatus. Did Raul fix this problem? If so, that is wonderful

I would also like to restate my opinion regarding Facebook policies and those policies colliding with the function of games using FB as a platform. It does appear as if FB has ZERO regard for games that provide them with regular users. They continually make it difficult for games like FT to continue to grow and attract new users. One of the attractions that FT has for me is the ability to "friend" users all over this world, and I have done so. Apparently, this is not considered "kosher" by FB. If we attempt to "friend" too many people, we get slapped on the wrist by FB, and some functionality of FB is removed from our accounts for a period of time.

Is it time for Slashkey/Farm Town to set up its' own platform? Zynga has done so, and Zynga games may be played without using FB.
Hi ckpeer,
Zynga if you haven't noticed is a multi-million dollar company who can do that. Also if you play on their server rather than through Facebook you have no interaction with the other players, so even they are not totally separated from Facebook.
We all love Farm Town and would love to be able to play without the restrictions Facebook puts on all the games, but that is not possible currently.
