Thanks for all the updates. Just one question though will there ever be any more crops that are 2 hours.

That would be great for those who are on the game a lot during the day. My raspberries almost always go to waste so seldom plant them. Even lost a farm of Purple Grapes again today. Yup, poor planning on my part

Raul - I do appreciate all of your hard work, but frankly having to purchase items with FarmCash is getting ridiculous. I am sure I speak for alot of people - I simply cannot afford it, and trying to earn the FC through those surveys is torture with all of that junk email. I still enjoy and will continue playing FarmTown but I have over 800 million coins and what am I supposed to do with it?

I have to agree. I haven't added it all up, but the people who've bought all the facilities and tools that require FC have spent a LOT of money on this game. Lately you've been coming out with about 60 FC worth of new facilities every other week (and that's not even counting the tools that cost FC); since 60 FC costs at least $10, that would amount to over $250 per year to keep up with it all!

I have purchased FC and don't mind doing so within reason, but I think the FC prices for facilities are just too high. I think if the prices were between half and two-thirds of what they currently are, it would be a lot more reasonable (though even then it would still be expensive to buy all the FC facilities). Frankly, I think you ought to cut the prices (and to be fair, refund the difference to those who've paid the higher prices).

Default A Thousand Thanks...

for a fabulous game and outstanding game development. This is still the rolls royce of all the crop games. I am looking forward to being able to harvest, plow, and plant in one click. They say dreams are free.

Thanks again for all of your hard work in providing us loads of fun and enjoyment.

That is awesome, you can do it in FarmVille and it is so fast you just can't believe it. I would LOVE to see that happen here too!

I too agree. I've bought FC and have no problem buying FC. I guess my problem is that with every new release there tends to be more FC facilities, and it seems that some that you can buy with coins the other part to the facility is FC. So there seems to be no point in buying them.

It's a marketing strategy and a smart one. Some dedicated FT gamers will buy all the new and improved items. Others of us will be more selective, especially since playing FT is a fun luxury and not a have-to-do activity. Like my cable TV package -- it would be nice to have a few of the additional channels, but since they come bundled with a lot of stations I wouldn't watch and since TV viewing is also a luxury, I stick with the least costly plan.
And in FT, we really can have lots of fun with minimal expenditure, which is great. So kudos to Slashkey for an excellent and entertaining product.

I completely agree. I've bought FarmCash and I really don't mind doing it every once in a while to get premium items but with each new release there are more items that cost FC rather than coins and that's annoying. But I want all facilities so I buy them. Other FC items, such as a sprinkler, fall to the wayside. I was excited about a 4x4 seeder but quickly my excitement became disappointment/annoyance because it was FC and it wasn't just 20 or 30, it was 45! Come on! That's a lot especially for me when I'm unemployed due to the economy! I love FarmTown and it's the sole reason I don't delete my FB account. I am grateful for new items, crops and facilities so I can produce more items but like someone else pointed out, the essential oils could've been added to the Natural Remedies shop! Instead of releasing more facilities why not add new products to the existing ones?! I'm also excited about Farm 7 but I'm also dreading how much it and the upgrades are going to cost me. Please make them cheaper! The prices for the farms and upgrades are ridiculous even if you're not paying FC for them.
