New Release -- December 22nd, 2009

[chrism878]

This is really bad, i liked it as it was before.. please put it back.. I would like it it if you could just hire 1 person to harvest and 1 to plow per farm, then there would be no troubles...

Please put it back

[primrose711]

I wholeheartedly agree - hire one or two people only

No, I was still fighting for work with another person a couple of minutes ago. The fighting is especially fierce when two workers work very near to each other (we were working at different places at first, but then we met). With the old arrangement, I can find somewhere further away from my "opponent" and work, but now the opportunity cost of changing the working location is too high, because it takes too much time.

Also, there is less chance of a harvester getting hired to plow, too. Again, speed is the key.

Moderators: Do your job. This is a forum. Don't close threads when you disagree, but when people have valid points.

They are closing threads and directing people here where the devs will see it. They are doing their job.

I love farmtown but with it like this I am like others its slow and frustrating so if not changed I will go back to playing in pogo.....and No I'm not whining I'm voicing an opinion...that is what a "forum" is for right .....TY

Thanks for the reminder! I left pogo to do Farmtown, and didn't realize how much I Missed it UNTIL TODAY! Pogo, here I come, see you and all my Farmtown buddies there! ;-D

So now, to fix something that wasn't really broken, they've hobbled the majority of users out there. I would say that they fixed something that wasn't broken - cause the users having the original issues are still out there...

Now that is the TRUTH!!!! I found if you go back to your farm first YOU ACTUALLY KEEP YOUR XP and COINS!!! HMMMMMM!!

I haven't been on here as long as some of you.Thought my computer caught a virus today when the changes went into effect.I do realize now the reason it was acting the way it was.Thanks for making the changes for the better.It's better to gain some of our coins back .Nobody likes working for nothing.I guess everyone will just have to get used to it while changes are being made to make this game better.Needs to be a little faster though takes longer to load up when going to another person's farm to work.

[D.S.]

One additional note: I have noticed a bug in this code.

When harvesting, I sometimes get XP when harvesting. As well as it deducts coins like it thinks I'm plowing versus harvesting.

This may have been a bad release that has been updated again, this was about 4:30 Mountain time, U S, if anyone in the developer team is taking notes.
