New Release -- December 22nd, 2009

I only hired one person per job, period. If they left before the job was done, then they lost xp and coins on their own, not due to the game having a fault. Slowing this down just killed it, RIP farmtown.

I will have to quit then...I understand...I didn't mind the XP thing...but two hours to harevest a field is not going to work...It was fun when you could fit it into a few breaks but this is not at all fun now. Thanks for the nice time, but this was a great game and one I could enjoy. The teleport does not work at all. I had to go back three or four times per fielld to try again. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.

This took the fun out oif the game because now you are no longer getting a quick fix....now it is long and tedious

On my farm many plots and fields are greatly separated, it now takes far too long for anyone to harvest and plow because they have to wait to find their way over to the next field. I now need to hire multiple harvesters and plowers to do an amount easily done by one person in the past, making it not worth it at all to the person I am hiring.

Please change it back. This is really not worth it. If it remains the same I may devout my time to farmville rather than this. At least there you can prevent the avatars from moving. THis is ridiculous.

OK, the new system takes some getting used to - waiting for my avitar to go where I want it to go while travelling around the farm hap hazzardly - very frustrating BUT even more frustrating is that I just plow 2 fields and did NOT GET a single XP point - didn't realize until I was almost done and realized that coins and points were not adding .

and since Raul seems to think that this is going to be permanent, I am done playing, period, as are all of my friends, family and associates in my RA group.

I was one of the one's losing XP's, however I could have made 10X the amount I lost in the time it takes to harvest/plow a field now. I appreciate the fact the change was made to help us, however it has almost crippled us!!! The change is AWFUL!!!

haven't checked out the planting over trees yet. I'll go try that now.

By the way. My farm is supposed to be linked (says it is) but it isn't, what's the deal here?

Thanks Ed! I won't be able to get on until later, but I appreciate you mentioning this here. Sounds like it is still the same ...

The auto linking is down - you'll need to put in a manual link to your farm.

For the few times I lost XP, it is not worth it to me... This is terribly slower. Quite simply, it isn't fun, and until it is changed, I won't plow, plant, harvest... my two farms of pineapples can rot. There are other things to do other than 'WAIT...I'm Busy' Between that message, the highlighted crops, and the huge harvest tool... what a joke Can't see where to click. Sorry folks.. I know you are trying hard, and doing a great job with this game, but this is not THE answer. Maybe the spacing before 'not teleporting' is too short... I like the concept of stopping the idiots who jump all over. Field to field just making a mess... but on the other hand, that was fun... so there are collisions... Award both parties the XP points... not like you will go broke doing it?

OK I understand why. People were running all over you in a field. But It takes sooooo loooonnnngggg to get a job done. I was actually disconnected tonight in the middle of a job. I lost xp points also, but I made them up, eventually. At this rate I'll never get to even buy a mansion, much less a second farm. It may be good for those who were already high up, but for us beginners its not good. We have to work many farms to get an upgrade, at this rate we will never get there.
