New Release -- December 23rd, 2010

[StoneFace]

I really believe it will be in the neighborhood of $1.25 Billion Coins. With so many income producing facilities, and 7 farms yielding 2x output, the value of the #8 would have to be very high to justify what it will return to the farmer.

Even if the 12x12 is $10 mill or so, that is not to much to require from anyone who already has 7 farms.

If a farmer has so most of the facilities, and all the farms, and "only" $100mill coins or so, then that farmer is not managing well. And it will be that farmer who will be first in line to object to the way the game is being run for not letting him afford everything.

You have no right to judge how people play the game. The only people that have billions and billions of coins are the people that layer their farms and use the gift links to get stuff so they can keep their facilities loaded everyday, that is the only way a person can load all the facilities everyday. People that play the game and only load the facilities once or twice a week because that is all the time they have don't have 10 billion coins sitting around.

I don't even have the last size of farm 7 but I have never complained about how much the farm cost. While I understand the cost of the land being so much there are people out there that do not have all the facilities because they don't have the fc to buy them so the developers do need to think about that when setting the price of the farms.

Well actually I do have the right (I prefer the word choice or opinion) of "judging" how another might manage their farm better.

I have billions.
I work a LOT of neighbors farms and they work mine.
I bought the 4x4s and work the market a LOT too - it is fun again.
I do NOT layer, never have.
I use gifts a lot. I get about 60 or more each day and have no opinion on anyone who uses gift links.

I used FC to get some of the most productive facilities (no cheese and tomato eating pizza shops for me) and tools - like the 4x4s and Superpooper.
I also used FC to obtain the last 3 expansions on the last 3 farms - because I happen to like billions and billions.
I load my facilities on average twice a week, and top off the facilities, which I can, in between and post them often. ( and a good week is 150-200 million).

I also buy at the market every 12 hours or so to supplement what I am short of.

Thanks for your response on playing the game. Afterall, it is just a game and no one should be getting upset - there is no real farm-vs-farm competition.

When you say someone is not managing their farm right you are judging not giving an opinion. Just because you have hours and hours to play the game and tons of money to spend on the game to get the fc items, doesn't mean that everyone does. It also doesn't mean that a person is not managing their farm right. There are tons of different ways to play the game and for you to say that if someone that has all the facilities doesn't have billions of coins then they are not managing their farm right is very rude and disrespectful. I have all the facilities and it takes me over an hours to fill them up. I could make the time to do that everyday if I wanted to but I don't. I load them two or three times a week depending on the time I have. I have a life outside of ft and I enjoying playing this game for fun not having to work at it just so I can have 100,000,000,000 coins and make my self look big and bad in the world of farm town.

The game always seems to be low and a little problematic when the wonderful devs are working on new stuff for us. It is very frustrating when it keeps timing out server connection but there is a little trick that sometimes helps when working on other peoples' farms. When the new levels and faciities etc arrive it's always worth the glitches. Looking forward to seeing more levels and the quirky names the devs give them lol

[Wendums]

Well just slapped down $20.00 cash on some new tools.. love the recent updates, I just reached level 160 and think I'm right on schedule for next update with new levels and new farm... Hope it comes soon.. I wouldn't want to get ahead or anything.. lol

Does anyone know if fertilized trees pay workers double coin and harvest? Cant seem to find that answer in help section.. thanks...

Great job devs, keep up the good work =)

So here's my take on the cost of Farm #8:
12x12 - 8 million
14x14 - 5 million
16x16 - 6 million
18x18 - 7 million [Up to here, this follows the devs pattern on the last 4 farms

So 26 million will get you up to 18x18. I think 18x18 is 576 fields, and maybe that should be enough! Now comes the fun part, guesstimating what the rest will cost!!!

If the devs hold to the pattern for Farms 6 & 7, we could be looking at 1.2 billion coins to buy the last three up-grades: 200 million, 300 million, and 400 million.

Or maybe they'll take pity on us, and the last three up-grades will be the same as for #7 The up-grades for #3 were the same as #2, but then everyone was complaining about the 30 neighbor rule instead. It would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for that to happen!!!

Just for fun, here's what you've paid so far for your other farms:

#1 - 230,000 for all up-grades [12x12 was "free" to get you in the game]
#2 - 5.1 million [a few of us gagged at the 3 million price for 12x12!!!]
#3 - 3.1 million [12x12 dropped back to 1 million, but there was that "neighbor issue" instead]
#4 - 75 million [This may be when some people balked at the "cost" of playing]
#5 - 134 million [not quite double]
#6 - 618 million [more than 4 times the cost of #5 -- OUCH!!!]
#7 - 922 million [just about 50% more than #6]

All of which adds up to a grand total of 1,757,430 coins for your entire agricultural empire!! [I know, it's only funny money, but that's still a lot of wheat, sugar, and tomatoes -- not to mention raspberries!!!]

Which raises another very interesting question: Is Farm 8 equal in value to 70% of the total cost of your agricultural empire to date? Well, I don't know about you, but I'm hoping to make as many trips to the Real Estate office as it takes this Friday [Hope! Hope! Hope!] to get Farm 8 and take it to the max!!! I'll probably end up with 100 million coins to plow and plant it, maybe!! Like I said before, it's only funny money!!! Now I'm off to fill my facilities so hopefully I'll have 200 million to plow and plant #8!!!

See you in the Real Estate office bright and early Friday morning!!! [Well, some Friday morning soon]
