Many of you may not have been here long enough to know but...... When the price and EXP requirements for your original farm was set, it was WAYYYYY harder to get coins and EXP.

Harvesting was extremely slow, hard to aim and catch the field to click it, and was harvested one plot at a time while you waited and your avatar kept going for long unplanned walks around the farm and you had to wait for it to slowly return going AROUND fences, rivers, and hedges (not through them) before you could click the next field.

We were also not ABLE to plow any farm except our own.

It is so much easier to earn coins now by a mile. I've literally earned a million coins per day numerous times.

There were no raspberries then either - nor pineapples, blueberries, or peppers. The best you could hope for was pumpkins. The shortest crop was 4 hours. And you had to plow your OWN field one square at a time while waiting for your avatar to finish each square before you could move to the next one.

The rise in price of the new farm may reflect how much EASIER it is to earn the requirements than it was then.

I sound like an OLD-timer....but it was only back in JULY!!! Farmtown has come a LONG way in a short time.
