Tks Raul for all your hard work
BUT - whilst I prefer this latest way of working - being able to move quicker than the Avatar I am definitely not getting credit for the work done when I am in a room with someone else. Whilst the squares look like they need harvesting/plowing and I seemingly get there first (and I am pretty quick!) - I then see that the squares are changing differently to that which I did them, and my credit coin and/or xp does not move and i get, like others above ALREADY DONE come up instead when they were NOT according to my screen and my working. Please help .... its really frustrating

well,something is wrong. I just harvested a whole field of pineapple and received only a few coins. The "already done" started flashing over areas I had harvested. Did someone else get my coins? Went to do another job. VERY slow took forever. Went to the market place and stood frozen while coins floated over my head....this is awful!!!

Hello again
Well I went away and tested what I thought my experience was :
as above and as patternmaker ie - Whilst the squares look like they need harvesting/plowing and I seemingly get there first (and I am pretty quick!) - I then see that the squares are changing differently to that which I did them, and my credit coin and/or xp does not move and i get, like others above ALREADY DONE come up instead when they were NOT according to my screen and my working. Please help .... its really frustrating
Its DEFINITELY happening - I counted clicking on and "harvesting" at least 120 squares yielding 99 coins each and I only got 19 squares worth - this is not funny as I am working hard to move up levels and am just wasting time and effort now! Please sort this glitch out.
Clearly someone else (and thats not a problem at all) has got to the crop before me but it has not blanked out on my screen so I can see not to go there and clearly double harvesting is happening to others as well.

Hi Raul,

I am intrigued by some of the comments here re

lowing. I have just attempted to plow after being hired. Still unable to que and need to wait untill xp and coins are credited.

Also, thirty seconds or so in to the plowing the server kicked me off, YET AGAIN! I was in full screen view and wonder if this may have had an impact.

Cache has been cleaned, computer re-booted.

Fingers crossed that you can sort this issue with an otherwise great game.

Cheers from Australia

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and hte team.

This is horrible for the people that LAYER FARMS!

When you hire to plow you will NOT see your fields being plowed at all. You will be making xps and so is the plower. You do NOT need to REHIRE since its not showing it being plowed. The DOWN side is the plowers can stay ALL DAY LONG AND PLOW! Because the fields are not showing as plowed the person can continue over and over ! Watch who you hire to plow! There is no fire button remember that! You also do not need an entire harvested farm to plow at all. They can plow in one little area all day long.

I find this so much faster especially the plowing! The hiring is what makes this game unique from all the other ones out there. keep up the great work and thanks for providing us such a great game!

Have a nice holiday.

new release
the new harvesting symbol is a nightmare-with the ready to harvest signs and the coins sigh as u harvest u cannot see the crops at all-rubbish

illumi · #**189** Dec 24 2009, 05:08 AM

i see its still not rolled back today yet.
Coins and xp are still lagging faaaaaaarrrr behind, really faaaaaarrr behind which still makes me stand ages on a farm.
still getting booted very much. most jobs for harvesting, even if i am first on a farm and mark the plot first.....it shows already done all the way as soon as a second harvester arrives(maybe coins and exp lagging way behind, i really mean waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy behind, has to do with this being possible). still sucks and makes me upset. what about rolling back, what happened to that??
even if this upgrade works great for some, it doesnt for the majority, and that why it should be rolled back.

developers, while i truly thank you for all of your hard work and trying to fix the bugs that other players were having, i have to admit.... i hate the new launch. I never had any issues up until this latest launch, and it has truly hit hard. I spent over an hour yesterday/this morning trying to hire people to do my farms. id hire one or two, go to the farm with them, and after 10 minutes, they both would leave because it was 'taking too long.' my farms arent exactly covered in plots, and before it would take maybe 10 minutes total for harvest and plow, if i only hired one person. now... it takes alllllll ddddaaaayyyyyy lllllooooonnnnggg..... and at one point i was hired to do a huge farm of pumpkins, i couldnt harvest anything. they only hired me, but every time i clicked on a plot, it said already done, or wait a moment. the farmer kept refreshing his page, to double check he accidentally hadnt hired someone else who had harvested, and everything was still there. it just wasnt 'harvestable.'
truly, im grateful that you are aware of the issues of the players, and want to fix them... but i really hope you'll take off this latest version. i very much miss the old way. that way was so easy, and fast. i never once had an issue with it. I hope there is some compromise that can be reached...

thank you so much for all of your hard work, i do appreciate it!
