Not sure what's going on but FarmTown has really slowed up as a game lately.... neighbours are no longer interested in working facilities as they take to long, not seeing many workers in the market either im wondering whether people are getting bored as everything takes so long to do im hoping they dont bring out farm 10 11 ect and they concentrate on bringing some new excitement to farmtarm before the game really goes down hill .I love it but since neighbours have stopped working facilities its taking far to long to get the end product

I have no problem emptying all my facilities within 24 hours for two reasons:

1) I time my posting when most of my neighbors are on, i.e., early evening, and

2) (and this is the most important one) I don't rely on my neighbors seeing my post. I TELL them I have posted!!

It's a simple matter of composing a short message, such as "Facilities full on Farms 1, 4, 5, 6, & 7." Then before I send it to the first neighbor, I copy it (CTRL C) and for every subsequent neighbor, I click in the message box and paste (CTRL V). I also paste the same message in the chat box for everyone who is on chat. It probably takes me all of 5 minutes, Do your messaging from a farm that isn't being worked so the chat box isn't opening every minute.

I have neighbors (and I only post for my neighbors to see) lined up 3 and 4 deep. Within a few hours, 75% or more product is complete and I restock so later arrivals will have plenty to work with. If I'm willing to stay on line for a while after I post, I restock every half hour or so.

BTW, if you don't see many people in the MP, click on the map and go to the MP again. Often it will take you to one with a lot of people. I don't know why, but it may be related to the servers.

Really really really hope in the next up date we don't get any new facitities and that they improve some of the things we already have like being able to store everything with one click from our gift box to our storage or if we have loads of cows as gifts we can put them straight into the barn with one click. Also would love to see ( and I think its about time ) and I know many many others have asked for these over and over again and thats new clothes for our avitar really think that the developers are slow to act upon this and this has been requested for month and months and months, also loads of requests have been put in for children for our play areas, adults for our towns, workers for our farms etc also the option to freeze our avitar cos waiting for her to catch up really slows the game down.

Have been playing since the begining when it was one plot at a time and only one farm, a lot of great things have been added and a lot of improvements have been made, but too much emphasis is being made on the facillities now we have more than enough of them for the moment it would be lovely to have a few updates that don't include new ones and improve some of the things we have already got

Thanks for all the hard work you put into the game I really do appreciate it and don't mean to sound ungrateful I really do LOVE farmtown and spend a lot of real money and a lot of time playing it.

Farm Town gets progressively better. I think that there is a seasonal thing going on. People are getting outside and have end-of-school-year commitments. Jobs are picking up, with construction and farming increasing. In short, real world things are occupying people's time. I think that this person is good to point out possibilities, but those are not the only ones. I have a lot of faith in these developers.

Have to disagree. I stopped playing because it was just too time consuming and I don't like having to buy 4 or 5 different facilities to get one product. Stacking factories to get just one product is not my cup of tea. ::Just sayin'::

You have to remember its turning spring time and summer soon to me here. People are spending less time at their computer and more time out side. I know I am but I still get my farming done.
