But if i can add a negative thou, although i completely understand the protection of dummy accounts and such but Im a little confused. My daughter has an account that she no longer wants and has cash so instead of wasting it she was gonna send it to me and I guess we put it off too long since now she cant. And its over 6 months old????

That change has not been put in yet. Probably later tonight as Raul tends to work late hours.

After the change goes into affect like Taz mentioned your daughter will be able to send you her FC, cause according to the release notes it says that if an account has been active for 6 months or more than the requirement for purchasing prior FC is no longer needed and you said hers was over 6 months old, so as long as she as at least 55, 120, or 240 FC. Those are the amounts of the gift cards you can send, other than those amounts she could find tools or facilities or something that cost FC and send to you.

Please pass on my thanks to the developers for the improved avatar performance! It is great! Looking forward to adding the 10x10 Combine to my collection.

Thank you for all of your work too!!

I have played Farm Town since spring 2009. I loved this game but the FC restrictions have made me feel that this is turning into FarmVille. I really disliked that game but played it for a relative and her grandkids. She has since died and I immediately left it. I have coaxed people back to playing FT when they left because there was something they were having problems with or what have you but when it was fixed or upgraded, I told them and they played again. My hubby and I love playing together. We buy our FC and share it. With this upgrade, this will require us both to buy it. Not happy about that... I have a friend that loves to play and she is disabled and has a child with cancer....now I can't send things to her. Where's the 'good' neighbor policy that this game has always encouraged?? You put up statistics of how many people we help out...but you TAKE AWAY our ability to help in the 'true' sense??? I KNOW you aren't losing money on this game. I see too many people with many, many FC items and know that they bought it. Facebook isn't my favorite place because of privacy issues...but I have stayed because of THIS game.. I have met so many wonderful people... BUT, you may have pushed it too far with this restriction. If I want to 'give', I should have that option. (I have applauded the devs many times over but haven't you looked outside the game to see what our economy is like?)

I would just wait until it is set up so you can if the account is over 6 months old.

Yu have played for over 6 months. When the final change is in place then you will not have any problem sending farm cash or the tools or facilities that cost farm cash.

Another great update thanks. Especially like the improvements to the Avatar.

I just love the speedy new avatars! This is the best upgrade ever. I have all 20 farms and a full time job so it was getting tough to find the time to work them all every day. And it didn't cost me a cent. Thanks so much devs.
