New Release -- September 1st, 2010

[BobcatTchai]

I've got around 500 plots planted with tomatoes. Double that number with fertilizer added and it gives me around 1000 tomatoes to harvest every 2 days (or 40 hrs if I'm keen). It's given me more than enough to keep production of tomato sauce (via the preserves factory) at sufficient levels to service the needs of the pasta restaurant. In fact I'm building up a bit of a reserve of tomato sauce. I've still got enough tomatoes left to have 15 days worth of supreme pizzas on the go.

I don't use tomatoes for the sandwich shop though (tend to focus on pb&j's and tuna sandwiches there), so as others have rightly pointed out, it's all about making choices. Kinda like real life in that way

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.

Use the camera tool in your tool box it is much easier that way. Then the picture is already on your Facebook profile and you can refer back to it without having to open another program that for some takes up to much computer memory.

You should run and hide now too! Not that I disagree but heaven forbid we discipline our children, they might stop talking back and turning to crime instead of books and respect!

Best you get cracking then!.

I have 2 farms that are not even sown at the time of posting. Great sowing plans of last night fell to bits along with the arrival of a cluster of nasty aftershocks. I am forever grateful that we do not have earthquakes in Farmtown

We should start a thread in the social forum for people to list the injuries and illnesses brought on by Farm Town addictions! Off I go!

Well, speedmonkey, I guess I'm at the mercy of all the farmers who wanted to know ahead of time what's coming. I don't, but I guess I missed that poll! My apologies to all, but I REALLY LIKE BEING SURPRISED!!! Makes it more like Christmas!

(Exits in Dr. Denton's with binkie, bunnie, and knitting needles. Goes to The Bed in the Realtor's Office, crawls under, knits blankie out of dust bunnies, and says, "Me tied of waating. Wake me when Sanna Caws come -- unless Farm 6 come first.")

Thanks the heavens that the earth can't quake in Farmtown. I would be even more batty than I already am!
