Deanna, while I agree with your posting, I would like to point out that one thing im NOT happy about is this..... FARMTOWN is A BUSINESS and as such is in it for the $$$$$$. they dont do the upgrades and expansions out of the kindness of thier hearts. Its to keep the money coming in. While its estimated that only 10% of the people who play online games such as these actually pay out real money for the premium items. They keep expanding to keep you buying.
I have no problems with this because I realize they are a business and without revinue they would not have the money to pay the employees and developers, or to pay for the office spavce and computers and servers to put out thier games. HOWEVER!!!! i have spent over $300 on this game (not all at once but maybe $15 a month) and do so gladly, i spend alot of time on my farms and its cheap entertainment. BUT haveI ever gotten a "Thanks for your business" from slashkey? NOPE. It would be nice to hear from them that they appreciate my money that keeps them in business and keeps the upgrades coming. I also think they are getting a bit greedy with the 45 fc items and facilities when you figure that 45 fc is like 7 bucks, for a virtiual game tool. I think a lot more would pay to play of they made it more affordable for all. |

This dude has predicted on or about the 25th (simply based on the average of past releases) numerous times..... and I tend to get the "look", or the "type" from other farmers who think guessing causes anxiety in others....hahahahahaha. So be prepared my FT friend. I agree... it is coming, and each day is one day closer. The 25th sounds right. As for the amount of work involved in some of the big additions, I tend to disagree a bit. Last year I had a game developer living with us as he worked on the animation, the voice overs, the graphics, and the other facets of a game. Granted, it was far less involved (servers etc) than FT. But the point is that as he created the "grid" of instructions for each segment of the game, it would prompt new ideas, new suggestions, etc to enhance his project even more. Once the basic concept and foundation of instructions was in place, it was relatively simple to "add" something. With FT, I tend to think that a #9farm is a relatively simple thing to add - much easier than the #2farm . In fact I think they could easily add 3 farms at a time if they felt that is what the game needed. The same goes for decorations, and even facilities. More time was needed for the facility manager than for adding levels or farms. Regardless.... it is a fun game (can you tell by my 16 farms?) Why the delay in decorations? I can't think of a good answer. They must me working on other things, perhaps in conjunction with FaceBook or Flash or whatever. In the meantime, I redecorate, dump stuff I don't use or need, stock up on things I want etc. If you are bored..... fill your sheds, your coops, your barns, and save a few bucks to buy FarmCash so you can buy facilities and tools and more. I have spent a great deal on maintaining all the farms.... but over two years it averages about $10/month. Small price to pay to keep this old guy happy. .

I think the point is people are not so much asking for Farm 9 but simple decorations that we had last year...For St Paddys day and while there at it may as well do easter as well...-))

Deanna I agree with you! I remember what it was like at the beginning doing one plot at a time etc. The devs do a great job! I just wish they would release some St Pat's decs even if just the ones from last year!!!

You are making me feel like the new kid.
Was level 60 and 2 farms when I started, and the levels went up before I got to 60. Still not got the max sixe on farm 8 yet, so not in a hurry for 9. And have to admit to having spare cheese now that the facility manager bug has been fixed, so can use the Pizza hut again.

Having played and compared the two games..... well, there is no comparison. Granted FV has some nice things, and if you give me time I will think of one... oh yeah, the little (expensive) animated dog that follows you around. and the constant pop ups to complete projects that are mostly silly. and the flyover plane to harvest... oh wait, if I remember that was very expensive. nope...... FV will never be anything but a distant 2nd.... although they are better than the FrontierVille "game". .

Farm Town to me is unique. You set it up the way you wish to play it. If you want ALL the facilities you have that option. If you want to harvest, plow and plant again you have that option. If you wish to work for someone again you have that option. But I must confess, I have brought out the cheese and crackers to go with my whine ... please can we have Farm 9 and some new facilities? |

Be prepared to whip out the credit card then because while you can buy fuel over there you can only buy it with farm cash it is not available for coins. You will not get that much fuel and will have to keep buying it over and over so you will be shelling out real money for fuel all the time. Now in ft all you need to do is buy an oil refinery that will cost you 32 fc and put an oil pump on every farm you will have more fuel then you can use very soon. You can buy 55fc for $10 real money that is a one time expense, if you choose to use real money instead of doing offers for the fc, and then you will be set on fuel for as long as you play the game.
