Farm Town is the LESS GREEDY game out of many game I have played or still play.
I will keep paying for FT as it is my #1 game on FB.
As for lag problems, well I have discovered that graphics is the issue and not bugs within the game. I upgraded my graphics card in my main machine and can now load FT farms (of my own) in full screen mode without issues, although it does slow when trying to load every item on that farm, hence why I hide all but crops trees flowers and ponds when I play.
My other pc which I play FT on with a 2nd account (yes I'm an addict) is a much older machine with only a single core processor, so only one item is shown at any one one (ie crops or trees), and when working farms I only show the top corner of the crop field section to keep the speed up. I can only use this pc as I upgraded with the same graphics card (would not load FT before this card) but the pc is too old and slow.
I will soon be forking out £210 for a new motherboard and i5 processor for my main pc then using the old board and chip in my older pc so I can then play FT properley on both pc's.
FT has become very heavy on memory and graphics, but a little money on pc items can easily overcome these game issues, and no you do not need the latest DDR4 set up, DDR3 boards with series 4 i5 1150 chips will easily manage the game.

The bugs i spoke of are bugs that could be avoided, as time has gone on more and more bugs continue to pop up after updates because they do not thoroughly test the upgrades(inside knowledge on that BTW) the choose to impliment the upgrades and deal with the bugs later, even if it means you cant get on your farms, they really do not care if you can or not(inside knowledge on that as well) their entire attitude towards it "lots of people have to much time and money invested so they will deal with the problems after we caused them" that is an actual quote! yes it is greed and it will continue to be such until we the consumers make them change!!!!

And additionally, life is like that when you are paying for a service, if you are not getting the service that you are paying for, 1. you complain until it is fixed. 2. you do nothing and live with it and get ripped off. 3. you stop using the service. i guarantee that if even a quarter of the people stopped spending money on fc until the sped up the service they provide, it wouldnt be long until they did! IT is greed, yes it is a game, but it is a game most of us have spent actual real money on! and continue to spend money on to advance further into the game, that makes it a service.
tell you what next time you go get a steak and one it is smaller than you thought it should be and over or under cooked, dont send it back eat it anyway, and keep doing that at the same place every single time! the principals are the same. its not whining to ask what you pay for, paid for the tools the farms the upgrades so that the tools could be used, the so called "glitch" is a myth, they want it there, therefore they should do what it takes to ensure that what they have allowed to be done could be done, it is part of the game, because they havent stopped the so called "glitch"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The glitch you are whining about...that also affects those that do farm designs...and it would render the glove useless.The glitch is what makes most people continue playing.This glitch also doesn't affect everyone as not everyone uses it.It also does not slow everyone down.

As far as your greed comment.....how about you go open a business and give your **** away for free and see how long your doors stay open.Also....guess what...last time I checked..making money was a good thing.

Hi Dutch85,

The area to the right of the game is all Facebooks domain. You would have to ask them about anything showing up in there.

We have just been notified of Google's intent to stop Adobe Flash Player in their browsers completely. As slashkey have always advocated that the best browser for their game is Google Chrome, is slashkey going to find a better system to work with than Adobe Falsh player. Is this going to affect the millions of players

HTML5 will become Chrome's default, but Flash Player will still be bundled with Chrome. If one goes to a site that requires Flash, a prompt will appear and give the option of allowing it.

Google will temporarily exempt ten sites that generate the most Flash usage. Facebook is one of the ten.

(paraphrased by me)

The cost of the upgrades follows along with the income that size farm should be making for you.. You probably need more facilities if you struggling to afford the land upgrade costs. It doesnt take that much anymore to generate a billion coins a day. I be glad to help u with that if you want to contact me, Ive been able to help others get to the 1B mark fairly quickly.

I can perfectly understand the farmcash expenses for facilities, but why for the land?
It's not beneficial to the company to have the land so expensive, because if we can't afford it, we're not going to buy it, you might get a few people to use their farm cash,

It's not beneficial to the company to have the land so expensive, because if we can't afford it, we're not going to buy it. You might get a few people to purchase them using farm cash, but, wouldn't you rather have more players be able to afford the land, and then use their farm cash to purchase the items to put on the farm.
Use the Walmart strategy: lower the prices and sell more. If you lower the price of land, more land will be sold, in return, you will get players to purchase more items to put on the land. Without more land, the players wouldn't have anything to put on newly purchased items.
It's never too late to change your image. If you lower the cost of land, I will bet that you will have a huge increase in sudden purchases, people will take advantage of the lower cost. Then they will want to purchase more facilities & decor to put on the extra land.
You are limiting the purchase options to only those who can afford to buy the land upgrades. There is a much larger percentage of players that can't afford to buy those upgrades. Please, it is possible to lower the rates, I suggest that you have a special discount on the land, at least half price, and see how many players jump at the chance.
