I don't think your team is really aware of what people were requesting. They were requesting to get larger farms. While being able to add a new farm is a nice feature it's hardly worth the coins to buy when the storage capacity, coins and cash are shared with the other farm. If the second farm had been independent and had it's own storage, coin and cash reserves it would have been worth it. As it is I will not waste my coin in purchasing the additional farm. I would come out far more ahead by creating a second facebook or myspace account and starting a second farm. Thanks for the thought though.

You obviously haven't read most of the posts that refer to the land expansion. The servers, flash, and computers could not handle the overload. Plus the screen resolutions could not give you an accurate visual of your entire farm. And even in full screen your items and graphic elements would be very small. Storage, coins, points, and elements are shared by both farms. You put items you want to move to new farm into storage remove at new farm. Animals cannot at this time be moved.

And the devs thinking about us was a kind thing, they didn't have to do any of the research to add a new farm for our enjoyment rather than overload servers and our computers, but they did.

You are correct Ms. Winters, I did not read all the posts. I was addressing the OP and not every post that has been made. Thank you for advising me of the inherent problems though. In any case I can't see paying that amount in coin for "shared" storage, coins and points. I come out much farther ahead by creating an additional account and starting a completely separate second farm with the first one as a neighbor. It gives me more coin, storage and points with the additional perk that I can gift myself if I choose to. This would seem to be a much more practical use of bandwidth. Thanks again to the developers for trying.

Default Thank you for the information

I really appreciate the information -- I was not aware of this since I am kinda new at the game.

I think the devs are very aware of what people were asking for when they said they wanted more land. I also think that they know it isn't possible and still have people enjoy the game. Sure, they could probably do it, then everyone would ***** and moan when it didn't work. Some people will just never be happy. At least doing it this way you can share all coins and experience between the two farms. I for one love it and will spend even more coins if they would allow us a third or even a forth farm. I can't take those virtual coins to the big bank in the sky with me, so I might as well enjoy them while I can. I spent 6.5 million coins yesterday and am already back to 1 million so it isn't impossible to raise the coin.
