Maybe we could make a Farm Town jigsaw with about 4000 pieces to keep everyone occupied and out of mischief while waiting.

Hmmm, yeah - a jigsaw would be super fun! I'll play!

u can still purchase FC using your paypal - which can be linked up to a number of different payment types, not just credit cards, just as it was before

The issue that flash player caused was fixed by the developers a few days after the issue happened. The issue with flash was fixed almost 2 weeks ago. While that may have delayed the release a few days I doubt that is the reason it is taking so long to get this release. Unless the release contains something new that is not like anything we have now it shouldn't take that long to get together. The coding for the facilities should be basically the same the only thing different is the graphics, and the products, so adding a new facility shouldn't be that hard. The basic coding is done already they just have to add the new stuff. This is the same with the start all tools they have the basic coding done they just change the coding to fit the next set of facilities for that tool, but they don't have to write the coding for that tool from scratch. Bottom line is I don't know why this update is taking so long but I doubt it has anything to do with flash player.

Where in heaven's name does anyone get the idea that updates are"due" or "overdue"? It's ridiculous. Quit because of something that doesn't happen fast enough? That falls under the category of what my mother called "biting off your nose to spite your face". Do you honestly think they care if anyone quits? There are always others to take your place. Just enjoy the game and remember that even though we spend FarmCash to get what we want, it's still a free game and can be played for absolutely nothing. It's not their bread and butter - PLEASE stop acting like it's ours! IT'S. A. GAME. And they owe us NOTHING, not updates, and not information about updates.

You don't need to use a credit card. Go to Target or Walmart and buy a Facebook gift card, and use that to get the Facebook credits.

I think the devs need to stop teasing us with future updates. The only reason we have made this such a huge thread is because they told us what was going to happen, so somehow some people expect it sooner. Back in the day, I never expected updates, they were just a pleasant surprise. Relax people, remember why you play, and have fun!!!

Here's your next FTAA member, Taz!! They're starting younger and younger, but he looks like he's willing to wait for the devs to release whatever they have when they're ready. He's a good example for all of us.

But then again, he's got years and years ahead of him, unlike some of us!

That said, to the DEVS! UNCLE, UNCLE, UNCLE! Please give us Farm 11 and the next set of levels! I'm ready with 9 billion coins, a warehouse crammed, and OT on the paycheck that means I can splurge a little! And please explain to FB that the "new and improved" FB they forced me to take is disgusting for gamers!

My Chrome works just fine with the current release of Flash. The developers did fix the vertical text problem with it. There are still a couple things that they need to fix, but they are minor.

I don't use credit cards either, but I do have a debit card that is also a Visa Check card (credit card with direct withdrawal from account). I have that added in my Paypal as a secondary source for my Paypal. Do not have any problems with using Paypal to buy FB credits - Farm Cash. You can also get Facebook cards at several different store and not use Paypal.

The mods have said the developers put a fix in for the flash player issue so they did do something to fix it and it was done almost 2 weeks ago.

When people have reached the top level in a game and there is weeks or months between anything new being put in the game they get bored and move on. People get sick of doing the same thing over and over again that is why all games on fb are always adding new stuff to the game. As far as the developers not caring about people leaving the game, people leaving takes money out of their pockets so they better care. You say that there are others that will take our place if we leave that is not true. At the height of the game there was about 20 million people playing the game, now there is only 1.5 million people playing the game people are leaving and no one else is taking their place. The developers can't afford to lose vary many more players and keep the game running. People buying farm cash puts money into the developers pockets. For every facebook credit people spend on farm cash the developers get 7 cents and that doesn't include the money they get from the ads. The games on fb make the developers a lot of money, I don't know if it is their bread and butter but I would bet it is. The game is not free for the people that have paid money to play the game and people can say what they want but to play this game to the fullest you have to spend money on the game or do offers to get the fc. The so called free part of the game is getting more and more restricted because of the coin facilities that need something from a cash facility and the high price of land. The only people that are making billions of coins are the ones that have all the facilities the ones that only have the coin facilities are not making as many coins. This is a business for the developers not a game if you want to keep your customers happy you do two things keep them informed on what is going on and give them what they want in a timely manner. While the updates usually happen in a timely manner the developers have missed the mark big time on the communication part of the business.

Ya know Buffycats right.....It's a game, a free game, unless you decide to spend real money on it. I have been critical of the time between updates and as one post puts it I have been a slime thanking the Devs when we do get an update.

But I do appreciate the game and all the Devs and Mods do! I think the frustration I feel over the time between updates is my own internal hoping for something unseen. (like my Grand kids before Christmas).
I have 10 farms 6 million XP, 2.4 billion coins,( paltry by some of my friends totals) and the ability to purchase Farmcash (subject to my wife's complaining about spending money to buy pixtels) .

There are a lot of options to play this game even if we never get farm 11 (hope that doesn't happen)

I think we all need to be patient with the Raul and Devs. we expect a lot from them.

I enjoy the game the clever comments on this thread. And plan to redo a couple of my farms that really need it.

Thanks you Raul, Devs and Mods.
