I think the real objection many of us have is that the developers stated that something specific and very desirable -- Farm 6 and new levels -- was coming soon. I have reviewed all 20 releases since February 19 in detail, and only one other hinted at something specific to come. The "evidence" has been deleted, but in the July 1 release Raul stated that Farm 5 would be released "Friday". After that first Friday passed, most posters to the forum were debating WHICH Friday Raul was referring to.

So that would make twice that the developers have told us something specific was coming and then not been able to fulfill their promise within a reasonable time. Given 20 releases in 194 days, 15 days and counting starts to try one's patience.

Perhaps the developers would be wise to take ellshere's advice and REMEMBER THE FLOWERS!!!

Please don't announce something new until you're releasing it. Actually, it would seem more appropriate that the announcement come first as we log onto our farm! Then we can come to the Forum for details!

20 releases in 294 days should be used as an example of how good they really are to us, not as an example of something negative that they have subjects us to. 15 days in the grander scale of all that they do do for us is really nothing. We all want farms 6 and 7 and 8 and the list could go on for days.

The fact that they gave us a heads up on items to come is also another thing that they do for us because we asked for it. We cannot complain because they do something that we asked them to do.

The information that was changed in the July 1 release was not changed in an effort to "cover up" some devious plot to deceive us. If you read the entire thread there was actually very little complaining about the fact that it was not released on the Friday following that post. We all had a great time talking about how much we enjoyed the game and used the opportunity to make new FT friends and network with each other for game support.

There are some of us that appreciate, nay, even like to have the advance information.
