New Release -- November 28th, 2009

[Brother Bill]

My wife tells me we can have a 2nd farm...Fantastic!
Now if I could only get to my first one.
Brother Bill has been locked out since the new crop upgrades.
Everyone can get to their farms in this house on any computer.
I cant get there on any of the 3 computers.
Obviously not an issue with cache and flashplayer.
Stop adding stuff and fix what you already have please..

Missing Farmtown...

Hi There,

We just released a new version of FarmTown which includes support for buying a second farm in the Realtor Office.

This release will be completed in phases, right now only 50% of the users have it, we will be monitoring the load closely and will be releasing the new version for the rest of the users over the next couple of days.

The new farm, and all land upgrades for Farm 1 and Farm 2 are now available in both, coins and farm cash.

To switch between your farms, use the Farm Selector tool on the top left, near the coins.

To move items between your farms you can use the Item Storage until we release an easier way later on. You can now add trees to the Item Storage as well.

When you hire others, you now need to select the target farm where employees are going to work. If you want them to work on your other farm as well, you will have to hire them again.

Everything is shared between farms: neighbours, coins, cash, xp, trophies, etc.

Holiday items are comming early next week.

After this we are going to focus for a while on the issues with the lost coins/xp when working for others, which seems to be happening to some users...

[***UPDATE***] This release have already been deployed to 100% of the users

Thanks

Yes indeed.
This issue ties directly into the topic of updates and upgrades.
I for one am very pleased regarding the updates and second farm option. The problem is I got to get up to 44. I don't mind working to get there but today I have plowed and plowed and plowed yet I am losing instead of gaining. Or if I gain it is maybe 1/4th what I should be getting. At this rate it will take me 6 months to get to 44.
I is very sad and may indeed cry.

Third, the announcement says "second farm", it doesn't say "increase the land on your farm" or anthing else that would lead most people to believe that they were increasing the size of their existing farms.
Mostly PAY ATTENTION to what you're doing, and what you're buying.
Some people are never happy.

Thank you!

Wow! That's awesome. I bet the people begging and complaining about more land must feel pretty stupid now....if they hadn't let already that is.

But then again; i bet they'll find new things to complain and beg about!

I can't wait to buy my second farm!!!!!

[Shaldimar]

WOW and double WOW!!! OMG Love you guys so much. This is by far the best upgrade yet! Thank you thank you over and over! I just knew patience would pay big dividends! You guys are awsome and then some!

My thoughts exactly. 3 million coins for a 12X12 piece of land? Give me a break.
Why is the price set so high? Why isn't it set to purchase and expand at the same coin expenditure as the first farm was? That would have made more sense for sure.

I know the Devs are working really hard on making this a better game and doing a fantastic job for the most part... but they really dropped the ball on this one for sure.
