It does not matter how you pay me... either with a "valuable" US $20 bill, or a shiny $20 Gold piece.

Well, the devs offer some really neat things with a FT$$ price tag because those things are [1] usually more desirable, [2] usually more useful [3] usually will allow the devs to earn their living.

There are other ways to get FT $$ other than levels and getting one at a time for points.

Are you under the impression that the devs can spend FT coins at their local grocery store, or pay elec. Bills this way etc...? LOL I am lost here, because your statement seems to make no sense to me.

It happened to me yesterday, did not cleaned before harvesting and lost all the blackberries and harvest I had in one farm. So be careful, put your facilities out or sell so that your bins are not full or you loose.

Keeping your storage cleaned up is a requirement no matter what. I was talking about a problem with selling items directly from the field, using the harvest & sell option instead of the harvest & store option. It is doing strange things. I get the warning about my storage being full just about every day now. The warning is working fine the sell option is what is messed up, as long as I keep on top of cleaning my storage I have never lost anything.

Did you not get the warning and that is what led to you loosing your harvest?

Really like your changes and possible future levels. Just have one request. Please allow a larger gap between people with 3 million points or so and people with not one million points yet. All are level 115. They should not be the same level. If you have close to 3 million there should be some separtion from the rest, it is earned. Thanks

Our game world has impact on the real world. Game coins do not make the world go 'round outside of our game. It won't pay bills, it doesn't pay for server space, developer wages, rent, food, or power. In order for the game to continue to be free someone has to pay the piper. FC items have been and always will be a way to pay those bills and continue to bring the game to all of us for free.

There is no in game requirement to have any of the FC items. They are add-ons to the game that are there to enhance your gaming experience. In comparison to a great number of other games this one is far more cost effective than many others out there. You get to play for free, there is no upfront cost for accessing the game, there are no subscription fees, and you are allowed to advance to the highest levels without ever HAVING to spend a dime. Many other games, just on Facebook alone are far less generous. Is there another game out there that offers us 22 production facilities for coin?

[wsbohannon]

Amen to that!!! I can't believe some of the comments I've read of people actually COMPLAINING that you have to spend real money for some facilities. Noone is pulling your teeth, making you do it! You KNOW that's how this game operates. If you don't LIKE it, then...... quit! Easy. Noone is forcing you to play .....

[dcarmena]

I've never received a message that my storage was full?? I sell off surplus every time I harvest a crop or facility. So, I'm a little confused now.

Farm Town is no different than any other game or sim out there. They have to make REAL money to pay their bills. If you enjoy FT then SUPPORT FT by BUYING FC.

Slashkey is no different than any other business. They have COSTS to run their business.
Just look around next time you go to Wal Mart, Burger King, or Home Depot. Then check to see how much "free" stuff they have for you. This may be a game to us, but to Slashkey it is their living.

Now if we could get Farm 6 up and running, I will buy more FC as I have factories to buy!
