New Release -- September 17th, 2010

[BobcatTchai]

On the issue of new levels and cost of upgrading. The bottom line is no matter what the devs do not everyone is going to be satisfied. As the saying goes you can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time (that's a pale paraphrasing of it on my part). My personal opinion, for what it's worth, is that they've struck a pretty good balance overall.

The XP gaps between levels increase gradually as you work your way up from lower to higher levels. Of course a gap of 20-25k is going to seem huge to someone who hasn't been playing long, but by the time you face that challenge (between levels 115-135) chances are you'll have at least 5 farms, 15-20 facilities and the means to earn 20-25k of XPs within a few days. The same principle applies to the cost of the farm upgrades. 100million to a newer player would seem exorbitant, but put in the hard yards and you'll eventually reach a stage where it is very achievable (and rewarding when you do achieve it).

My personal hats off to the devs on producing a challenging, yet ultimately rewarding gaming experience

Hi, try clearing your memory cache, closing your browser and then reload browser and game.

Thanks for the explanation, Tony.

I find it easier to leave it in the one spot, but to each their own...

No real problem since it DOES drag eventually.

Finally I have a problem with the game that is not unique to me LOL i have tried everything to fix this..... emptied cache and temp files from my pc....deleted slashKey.com folder, removed and reinstalled Flash from their site... rebooted my pc... I defragged a few days before the updates came out.......The game is loading much better after doing all this... but I normally do all of this when we get updates... just seems to help ..... it don't happen all the time just a majority... also when i go to one of my other farms it will load that farm two times.. again not all the time.........seems i can drag the farm better If I am using the harvester rather than plowing... though when i harvested for a couple of neighbors yesterday the dragging constantly would flash at me and I was not able to drag it at all......also when i got to full screen mode several times when i went back to normal view I couldn't type in the chat box...... all this has only started since the updates came out.. not a problem prior to that....... hoping it will settle down in a couple of days...

I can't load my Paper Mill. I have hundreds of Pine Log Piles in Storage but it tells me I don't have enough to start producing.
Is anyone else having this problem? I love all the upgrades. Keep up the good work.

The log piles do not have to go to the lumber mill first, they go straight from chopping to the paper mill. Did you maybe put them through the lumber mill first?
