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!

I think you should have said YOU would be happier if they didn't announce ahead of time that something is coming. Some of us don't mind knowing, and some of us also don't think our idea of "reasonable time" is the be all and end all. How soon is soon? Why would anyone make assumptions about this given the enormity of the work involved, and the certain knowledge that, as they try things....some don't work...others need tweaking....things take time. Um....it's a game. It reminds me of travelling as a child (one of five) with my parents..."are we there yet?" "are we there yet?" "are we...*smack*...guess not".
