FarmVille for DISers

[DVCsince02]

Remember the good old days of Fashion Wars? Well, we podcasters have a new addiction....

:cheer2:FARMVILLE:cheer2:

So what level are you? What do you think of the game?:surfweb:

[LMO429]

LOVE Farmville!!! I have a mini addiction to it..First thing in the morning I get coffee check the disboards and then harvest my crops on farmville. its part of my morning routine!

I love interacting with all the disers too so much fun!

[Mish19]

Hi!

I'm level 42 and love Farmville!

[DVCsince02]

So what to you think about the new trees they added? The carnival tree is weird.

[Dodie]

Great idea, Jen!

I'm level 35. I love it and am probably just slightly "addicted," but my goal is to have a beautiful farm. I don't think I really play to "win." I usually advance by accident and only plant crops that need to be harvested every couple of days.

I am proud of DodieVille though. ;)

[alebisi]

At the time I'm not harvesting anything (I'm preparing for two exams), but I still help friends, and expand chicken coops. I love farmville and when it seems it's getting boring they manage to do something new and the excitement starts all over again!

[KimDis]

What new trees?? Omg I leave my computer for 8 hours and the chicken coop expansion happens, paint colors for the barn are offered, and now new trees?

Btw, level 48 and LOVIN it!

[DVCsince02]

Hey Kim!!

new giftable fence
coop expansion
giftable tree
2 trees for purchase
olympic decorations
mardi gras buildings

Just so much!!!

Hi Lauren - I do the EXACT same thing. Usually right after I drop off the kids at school around 8:30, I make some coffee and check my emails, the DIS, and Farmville.

By the way, right now I'm level 38, I wasn't the best at keeping my crops up, but, now I'm doing better.

[Cherinva]

This is a great idea Jenn. I'm on level 43 and I am fully addicted. I have it open all day at work, and now that I've bought my self a lap top, I can have it open at home while I watch TV. The new trees are very different. I love the chicken coop expension. Happy Farming.

[KimDis]

Hey Kim!!

Oh and I just saw the arborist thing - nice!! That takes forever for me.

Now I have to pull my Mardi Gras things out of storage and create a little area for that and an Olympic village, lol.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Luv it too neighbor!! I think I am level 41. I have trouble keeping up with all the new stuff. :goodvibes Totally addicted.

[Mish19]

Trees are great, love new colorful ones. Still trying to complete my stable though lol

I'm at level 35, I think...I tried to walk away from it, but got sucked back in...

[princessfionasmom]

LOL, I am totally hooked on Farmville! It's my other addiction. I'm level 43 but have been slowing down, it's way to addictive!!!

[Mish19]

What do you need Michelle?

I need 3 harnesses and 4 horseshoes and a click on my chicken coop would be helpful, lol.

How do you get the farm hands?

[mainegal]

Before Christmas I promised myself I would stop by the first of the new year.

Look at my farm now, it has an huge Vanentine box! Guess I didn't manage to quit.

I do not have an especially addictive personality. I am not hooked on coffee or drink or gambling. But I find Farmville way too addictive. I do it it in the morning and it sometimes makes me late in leaving for work. I sneak into the farm during work. I harvest crops when I should be sleeping at night.

I really am trying to get out! Like many farms, my farm is being taken over by houses. I now have a housing developement on my farm. 23 houses!!!

Soon there will be so many houses, there will be no place to farm. Then I can get some sleep and get some work done.


I am level 33. How high does it go? I hope I never reach it!

[anonymousegirl]

I'd probably like it more if I had more friends to interact with. Currently I have five friends that play, but I can't figure out how to add them as neighbors, plus I think I'll need lots more than that for a successful farm!
Also, what do ppl do when they go on vacation? I am going to Australia for three weeks in March, and I probably won't have my computer, but will have my iPhone. Any suggestions?

I'm also stuck on Petville with the same problems. Coins I got, but now to advance and buy new rooms for the house you gotta have friends and no one I know plays Petville. and if I don't feed Dinah daily she goes off to the pound which is an expensive boo-boo.

[calypso*a*go-go]

Level 70 here...I spend way toooooo much time on FV!!! Still trying to figure out what a "consumable buff" is (new ribbon released today). :confused3

[Northern_Julie]

Level 70 here...I spend way toooooo much time on FV!!! Still trying to figure out what a "consumable buff" is (new ribbon released today). :confused3

I did a little digging and you can now find farmhands when harvesting the stable like eggs in the coop. These farmhands are consumable buffs....think they could have found a better name. Talk about demoralizing you workforce.

[LMO429]

Level 70 here...I spend way toooooo much time on FV!!! Still trying to figure out what a "consumable buff" is (new ribbon released today). :confused3

Is Level 70 the highest level? I was always curious as to how high you can go on farmville.

[Renysmom]

:wave2:

I'm at level 35, I think...I tried to walk away from it, but got sucked back in...

See I never started an have no idea what you guys are talking about on here on or FB :lmao: No I won't try it!

[DVCsince02]

How do you get the farm hands?

Collecting from your stable gives the opportunity to get "consumable buffs" (arborist and farmhand which count towards the new ribbon). Similar to golden eggs from the chicken coop.

[DVCsince02]

I'd probably like it more if I had more friends to interact with. Currently I have five friends that play, but I can't figure out how to add them as neighbors, plus I think I'll need lots more than that for a successful farm!

There is no crop you can plant that will last 3 weeks, so I suggest just plowing your field so your friends can fertilize it for you.

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

I love Farmville. I'm level 31 right now. Most of my friends have stopped doing it because they said it took up too much time.

Not me - I'll quit cleaning my house before I stop doing Farmville. :rotfl:

Level 69 here. I'm totally addicted. Sadly, I cannot play at work. My main goal is mastery. I'm all about the crops. :) I do the collections for the free fuel, same with the eggs. :teeth:

Level 70 here...I spend way toooooo much time on FV!!! Still trying to figure out what a "consumable buff" is (new ribbon released today). :confused3

How do you get fv cash after level 70? I've been wondering about that? :scratchin

[calypso*a*go-go]

Is Level 70 the highest level? I was always curious as to how high you can go on farmville.

At this point level 70 is the highest but it's been rumored that will change.

How do you get fv cash after level 70? I've been wondering about that? :scratchin

You don't earn any FV Cash when you are unable to level up. :(

If anyone wants more neighbors, feel free to send me a friend request. Just the other day I went through and removed the neighbors I had that were no longer playing...so if you were my neighbor and decide to start playing again, be sure and send a new request. :thumbsup2

[carol1231]

I think I'm at level 35 - but I need more neighbors!

[Cherinva]

Still trying to figure out what a "consumable buff" is (new ribbon released today).

i got one today...when you harvest your stable, you can get an award of 100 coins and that counts towards the ribbon

[MinnieGarden]

I'm on level 54 and yes, am totally addicted! :lovestruc Mike thinks I'm nuts, and it's double the fun since Ian has his own farm too!:thumbsup2

[aggielawyer]

I just started playing recently...after swearing for months that I wouldn't start! I'm only on level 14 or so.

Once you get a bunch of DISers as neighbors, you level up quickly

[mommyceratops]

I had to give it up. When I said "sorry, I can't read to you now I have to plow"

I decided to give it up.

[HARVEYSGIRL]

Hi my name is Buffie and I am an addict!! :rotfl:

I play Farmville everyday. If anyone wants to be neighbors let me know.

Anyone looking for new FV neighbors can send me a friend request, but please add a personal message stating you are a DISer so I know where the request came from (or I probably won't accept). Thanks, Lisa Barnette

[krissy2803]

I'm on level 42. I usually play late at night/early morning. I can't watch tv when I get home from work because it will wake DH. So Farmville it is!
If anyone needs neighbors...I am Kris Scarboro-Hejl on FB. Please leave a note in the friend request that you are from the DIS. :thumbsup2

[racingwench]

Farmville is very addicting. I need neighbors. I am sending friend requests. Thanks!

I asked her for a lesson in how to quit when I told myself I was going to quit by January first, 2010. It was a good lesson, but I haven't taken it to heart yet,

[mejkjj97]

I am so addicted right now to farmville. I am on level 38 and still trying to figure out new things. Right now I am tring to expand my chicken coop. also, always looking for new neighbors.

[mainegal]

I have been reading the DIS Boards and Facebook and farming when I could have been out for a walk or playing with my Mini Wii Me on my Wii Fit Plus.

My priorities are a little off.

Begone, addicting Farmville and DIS boards!!!

I've gotten addicted to Farmville and Zooworld. It's to the point where DH asks when we can go out because I have crops to harvest and babies being born. LOL

I need neighbours though. Feel free to friend me on Facebook - Fiona Empke.

FV is taking over my life!LOL

I am on 21 I think, maybe higher!

Send me a PM if you want me to add you.

[Metro West]

I've been playing for over a year now...on and off...and am currently half way through level 50. I have 20 crop masteries and keep working for more.

[Michele]

I am level 38 or 39, finally got enough coins to buy pretty much everything I wanted. So this week I rearranged my farm, put most everything out and really downsized my fields so it won't take up so much of my time. I still get on it a few times a day, but now it doesn't take up so much time.

If you want to add me as a friend and neighbor, it's Michele Lents Moody on FB.

I need more neighbors.

[DVCsince02]

I'm level 60. I had all but 2 blue ribbons until this week when they added the consumable buff ribbon. Now I am working on masteries. Flowers first.

They added another ribbon? Sometimes I get annoyed when they add ribbons just when I feel like I can one day actually complete farmville they add ribbons. which is great because it will never get old but the obsessive compulsive in me wants to be able to say one day I completed it....if that makes any sense :rotfl:

[timmac]

This is a loaded question, to say the least, but I figure I'll answer. Those of you who know me on Facebook have probably seen my opinions in some form or another in my posts or comments, but I can offer a bit more elaboration here.

I think, first and foremost, that the game is a lot of fun. A lot of different ways to play, and there's something in it for everyone. I left for a long while, and recently came back to the game (in a somewhat more limited fashion) because I do think it's that interesting. I don't actively play right now, just occasionally, and mostly for the sake of exchanging items with friends, seeing how others' farms are doing, things like that. I like the interactive and friendly aspect of the game, for sure.

That said, here are some of the things I don't like so much.

* The company that produces the game, Zynga, engaged or even currently engages in some borderline shady practices to make money. If you've played the game you know that many elements of it require "farm$", which are only provided in-game in very limited fashion. Obtaining more requires completing special offers (which in themselves involve installation of spyware, signing up for mailing lists, or other similar deceptive and annoying things) or paying actual money. Not sure how many people here have actually paid cash, but even just doing that a few times can rack up a considerable cost. I would never do so, nor recommend it, but as addicting as the game is, some people might be willing to do so. I don't have the link handy at the moment, but there was a great video interview with the CEO of Zynga where he talked about the spyware, etc, basically laughed it off, and was pretty arrogant about it. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

* The game directly/indirectly generates way too many notifications in the facebook news feed. Right now, I say that I play in a somewhat limited fashion. As part of that, I still have the app notification hidden. When I view a news feed and 50+% of the posts are about farmville, it was just too much. I'm perfectly happy for those who want that level of interactivity and involvement, but I'm just as happy that I can turn it off, too.

* It's just a game. I think some people take it a little too seriously. Not pointing a finger at anyone in particular, or necessarily even anyone in this group, but I've definitely noticed it. "If this group gets 100,000 people then we'll all get ___" or "sign this petition because we want free farm$ for doing ___". In recent times, some of these things have been real, from what I hear, but for a while they were hoaxes and/or complete time wasters, and I'm sure some still are. Either way, though, the fact that I see people going to such lengths over what is, at the end of the day, just a game, seemed a bit much.

* I'd rather spend the time on facebook interacting with people in other ways. Similar to the qualm about notifications, but in a different way, and kind of just empirical. One of the things I've loved about Facebook, and especially friending DISers, is hearing about the seemingly mundane updates, seeing pics, and feeling like I'm getting to know some of my fellow Disney fans (dare I even say, friends) a little better. Again, this is purely empirical and possibly speculative, but I have noticed that as some individuals have become very active with farmville updates, I don't see much in the way of "classical" social networking from some of these same folks. Again, not necessarily thinking any specific person, more just a general observation.

* Lastly, and most importantly, I think Farmville qualifies as an addiciton. Maybe not in the strict clinical sense (though Dr Phil did discuss it in an episode, for whatever that's worth), but no different than the colloquial television or video game addiction that is sometimes cited as an issue in whomever. To the PP who mentioned "I can't read I have to plow", I commend you for having the presence of mind to notice so easily that it was an issue at that point. While I don't think it's necessarily too frequent for people to be sucked into the game to that extent, it's certainly not unheard of either. Even in this thread, a few tongue-in-cheek comments have been made about "my husband asks when we can go because I'm busy farming" or "I don't know what I'm going to do when I go away for two weeks", etc. The comments themselves are presumably in jest, of course, but they are only funny because there is indeed at least some bit of truth to the statements.


Let me step back a moment and just reiterate that I don't mean any of this to offend anyone, and hope that the most pointed of my statements are taken in the same way... that I'm only trying to make crystal clear why I'm coming to some of my opinions. I certainly am not suggesting that everyone stop playing, or even anything close. In fact, I'm glad I came back, and found a way to do so that it can still be fun, without being overwhelming or addicting. :)

Tim, I was :rotfl: when I saw you starting to play again after you left for such a long time.

Yes, many decorations and some animals require FarmCash, which you can get for free each time you level up or in a mystery box. The "special offers" were removed for a very long time after they had complaints. I've done a few of them and have had no issues. I chose ones that worked for me. Haven't cost me a penny and didn't have to download anything for it.


* The game directly/indirectly generates way too many notifications in the facebook news feed. Right now, I say that I play in a somewhat limited fashion.

I'm perfectly happy for those who want that level of interactivity and involvement, but I'm just as happy that I can turn it off, too.

I agree there are too many notifications with this game, but I have had a lot of fun sharing items needed for collections, valentines, christmas, etc. Luckily the ability to hide these is simple.


* It's just a game. I think some people take it a little too seriously. Not pointing a finger at anyone in particular, or necessarily even anyone in this group, but I've definitely noticed it.

Either way, though, the fact that I see people going to such lengths over what is, at the end of the day, just a game, seemed a bit much.

I find it terribly frustrating when I see my friends join those scam groups. You get nothing in return, and you've allowed them access to your profile. I hope they delete them.

I love seeing when and where my friends are traveling, what's new in their lives. It makes the distance of being apart a bit easier

As far as addiction, Facebook in general is one, not only FarmVille.

And that woman on Dr. Phil was an idiot.

[Madi100]

I just started Farmville the day after I got sick of seeing all the notifications and blocked them. I thought I'd see what it was all about. I like video games. James hates them. But, I do enjoy them and what I enjoy most about them is accomplishing things. So, I like to level up and have a lot of crops and get the collections. Like any other game that I play, I will tire of it after awhile.

[Madi100]

By the way if anyone wants to add me in FB, send me a PM.

[calypso*a*go-go]

I went through about a week ago and removed neighbors that hadn't played in awhile -- so if you've started again, please send me another neighbor request. It was nothing personal, just a way for me to spend less time fertilizing everyones crops. :goodvibes

[FlightlessDuck]

I found Farmville, and most other Facebook games, to be too time consuming and tedious and not fun.

Sorry.

So, for the "consumable buffs" -- I wonder if more can be earned by leaving all your horses outside the stable and then putting them in one at a time to harvest? Probably not, but I might give it a try!

I'll be searching you out on FB to farm with you! Now if I could just get some Disney decorations to put on my farm.....

[OKW Lover]

Enjoyed reading this thread. I've trashed all my FB games though. Got really high in Fashion Wars and mastered all the original tiers of Mafia Wars but it was a struggle to maintain my interest. Ultimately I just pulled out of all of them and un-friended a bunch of people game-only friends.

[KimDis]

I'm about to drop Cafe World. I was playing it today and it was more a chore than anything else. Waiting to see if this spice rack thing amounts to anything...

[katscradle]

I play FB games!
Farmtown I am at the highest level and so I just check in twice a week with that.
Farmville I am at level 44 and it is something I go into a few times a day, but not for long. It's losing it's interest for me as I am having trouble completing some collections, but I do want to get to level 70 so will not give up altogether.
Zooworld I check each morning and spend about 30 minutes.
Tiki Farm i am playing, but just don't know what to think of this game yet.
Country life is one that I am always checking on, I find it interesting as is is about the economics. there are no villas or homes ect. in this game.
Now for the ones I gave up.
Fashion wars
Mafia wars
Vampire wars
Mob wars
Sorority life
Castle age
School of wizardary
and there are probably a few others in there as well.

Now having said this I do not let this control my life.
I still go to the gym everyday.
I still help my little one with reading and homework.
I still plan dinners.
I still take the 2 hours in the car once a week to have my older son privately tutored, along with a whole host of other things.
Do I think I have a problem no, but I came home from a vacation and was very depressed and disillusioned with things. Now my hubby on the other hand hates that I play these games. This is me being me.
I still interact on FB with friends other than games.
Sorry for being longwinded! :)

[mainegal]

I like the new crops, but only going to plant a few. I have lots of masteries to work on. The new mystery box is ......blah.

[calypso*a*go-go]

I just decided Valentine's Day was officially over and sold my Valentine Box. Time to move on to something new...

[mainegal]

You can no longer "ask for love", so I guess Valentine's Box days are over. I have 14 valentines in my box.

I kept getting and sharing and selling the ewe.

Have planted grapes.


I am not really a farmer. I am a housing developer. I have 24 houses.

[LMO429]

I have never put my $ into farmville. Just yesterday I was thinking how cute the New Orleans style houses were and I was going to buy them...I went to look for them and they are gone already..oh well! I guess its not meant to be

I don't mind putting in a few dollars. Some people buy coffee everyday, I bought farm cash. I've completed a few of the free offers. Haven't had any issues.

[JEFFSWIFE11]

Anyone need a farmville friend? Just PM me if you do.:)

Just joined farmville today...I am way behind you guys :rotfl: I think I'm on level seven and have no neighbors, hopefully I can figure this out so I can move on up and get some things on my farm :thumbsup2

I have lots of neighbors, but having one more won't hurt me. PM me and I'll be glad to help.

[tinkmom2]

I am happily accepting neighbors PM me if you want to add me:)

Im happy to add anyone who needs neighbours since I need a few more too ...feel free to PM me :lovestruc

[LMO429]

It seems no matter how many times I plant acorn squash..I never master it. I feel that I plant and plant and plant and nothing does anyone else have this problem?

[DVCsince02]

I was going for ribbons, not mastery until recently. Flowers first.

[katscradle]

I just thought I would post that I will not be growing and planting much over the next 6 weeks.
I have some other projects that need to be done, so I will be shutting down for a few weeks.
I will be back though.
I am not doing anything other than I will not be planting anything.
I will be back after our ABD trip is over. :)

[Michele]

It seems no matter how many times I plant acorn squash..I never master it. I feel that I plant and plant and plant and nothing does anyone else have this problem?

I just found this out (DS told me, of course). If you open the market and go to Acorn Squash, put your cursor on the little line under the picture it shows how many you still need. Actually, it shows how many you have planted, like 100/500. Means that you still need to plant 400 more squares to get that level of mastery.

what a great tip. thank you now I can see if I am doing something wrong or if you have to plant alot of acorn squash to master it.

[Metro West]

It seems no matter how many times I plant acorn squash..I never master it. I feel that I plant and plant and plant and nothing does anyone else have this problem? Use this chart to show how many harvests you need to master that crop:

http://www.farmviller.com/index.php?title=Crop_Mastery

Acorn squash is 1,500 for level 1...1,500 for level 2 and 7,000 for level 3. You definately have lots of work to do.

I just planted my last crop of tomatoes this morning so I'll get mastery # 22 this afternoon.

Wow this makes so make sense now why I keep planting and planting and never mastered it yet. I guess some crops take longer to master than other'

thanks again for the help everybody

[Metro West]

Wow this makes so make sense now why I keep planting and planting and never mastered it yet. I guess some crops take longer to master than other. You'll find the crops that require LOTS and LOTS of harvesting have a short growth periods while other crops take longer to grow don't require as many harvests. I'm starting pineapples tonight which takes two days instead of the eight hours was spending with these silly tomatoes.

I've been planting/harvesting Aloe Vera and Pattipan Squash for weeks....I should be done with them soon (I hope)

[DVCsince02]

From another poster....

Did y'all do the Bing 3 FarmCash offer? If you go on Farmville.com, right under the Farm screen there is an offer for Bing. If you become a fan of Bing on FB, you get 3 FC instantly. No scam, no catch.

Bing is a search engine like Google. I haven't had any Bing posts on my Feed, but you can always hide them if they pop up. FREE FC!!

I just did it!

[Madi100]

What does everyone do with the FV Cash? I have 34. Never spent it.

[DVCsince02]

I get the limited edition animals or decorations. Spending your farmcash on mystery boxes helps you earn the "they of mystery" ribbon.

A new mystery crate that contains new animals is due out soon.

[Jagdcarcajou]

So, yeah. I guess I can admit that I am level 48, and still need a few friendly neighbors for expansion purposes. :rolleyes1

Send me a PM if you want another active neighbor. :thumbsup2

Thanks for the heads-up Jen...I will definitely become a fan of Bing. I saved so much money with Cash Back over Christmas. You have to have patience to wait for it, but worth the time and effort in the end!

Hi all. returning back to the Disboards after a long while. surprised to see a farmville group. I am on level 29. I play whenever I can.

Not sure why they didn't count, but I just bought as many Rest Tents as I needed to get the ribbon, then sold them all.

But when you sell your rest tents, you only get half of what you paid, right?

What happens when you get a ribbon?

[DVCsince02]

Less, and you get experience points and coins for each ribbon.

Just checked - I have LOTS of ribbons!

[rtobe]

I think I am at level 31. I think that "gifts" expire if you don't accept them within a certain period of time. I tend to do minimal "farming" then pay attention to it and the gifts then get busy again.

I can use neighbors (and Mafia members :) ) pls send note so I know you are from DIS

[DVCsince02]

If you bought the last mystery animal crate, don't waste your FC.

[Friend_of_Piglet]

Hi, I love Farmville,and I need more friendly neighbors. I still need horseshoes for my horse barn. I'm on level 38. I play daily, unless I'm on vacation. ;) I also play Mafia wars and my obsession Sorority Life along with a few other minor games. PM me if willing.

[Metro West]

Did everyone get their pot for the gold? :teeth:

There are some nice new gifts in the free mystery boxes AND you can get free fuel for fertilizing your neighbor's farms! :banana:

Good stuff! :thumbsup2

[DVCsince02]

I am alllll over it. :teeth:

[mejkjj97]

I accidently hid FarmVille from my news feed. does anyone know how to get it back?

[stichlover87]

[Jagdcarcajou]

I just did the same thing and now I can't get it back!

Hey,

I think this will help.

Go to your news feed. Make sure you are on Top News. Scroll all the way to the bottom. Click Edit Options. FarmVille is listed under Pages not Applications. Check the box to unhide. Should work.

[princessfionasmom]

I posted back on page 2 about my addiction and have send some friend requests out to some of you to be my neighbor. If anyone is looking for neighbors, send me a message but note in there that you are my fellow DISer, or else I'd probably ignore it. I'm Carmel Nagle Melling in MA. I'm so happy to have people who share in both my addictions!

I also play Zoo World, Cafe World, Happy Island :thumbsup2

[Tonya2426]

Does anyone know if they are going to be adding the next three Pot of Gold items to buy? I've been waiting to see what those items will be but if they aren't going to be added, I will just buy the cute shamrock sheep.

[Jagdcarcajou]

Does anyone know if they are going to be adding the next three Pot of Gold items to buy? I've been waiting to see what those items will be but if they aren't going to be added, I will just buy the cute shamrock sheep.

Those items are still coming. If it follows the Valentine's Day pattern, the most expensive item was 150 (valentines, gold, whatever). So, if you want a sheep, chances are you can buy one and still have more than enough gold by the time this ends to buy other things as well.

I know after I got my Eiffel Tower during Valentines, I still bought 3 sheep, and a Kissing Ducks bench, and still had a few leftover. :goodvibes

[Jagdcarcajou]

And now they are up! Go get a castle! :)

[Tonya2426]

My collection is complete :goodvibes

[LMO429]

Are there any rumors about them expanding the farm land?? I need more space to achieve mastery of crops but also be able to do cool stuff with buildings and decorations.

[DVCsince02]

I haven't heard any rumors. :( I've just started working on masteries. It's hard to decorate and earn those little signs at the same time.

BTW - I love my new castle and pond, but the fountain isn't very nice, IMHO.

I agree it is hard to earn masteries and decorate.

I also am getting a little annoyed all the good buildings and decorations you have to pay farmville cash, they should give the option to use the farmville coins, even if they make the items ridiculously expensive..however, they did break me I did buy a redeemable gift card last week :laughing:

You're gonna have to catch up on the masteries. I added Pineapples last week and am working on crop mastery # 23 (Cabbage). ;)

[DVCsince02]

I have 12 masteries and all but 2 blue ribbons, and the horse stable ribbons.

[Mish19]

Anyone else frustrated with the new Maison building? lol

[calypso*a*go-go]

My maison is complete...so no frustration there -- but the darn consumable buff ribbon is going to drive me insane. I harvest everyday but still haven't gotten even the first ribbon. I didn't want to have to "stuff" the stable, but I guess it's the only way I'll earn the ribbons. The only other one I don't have is the mystery box one, and I'm not going to buy FV cash to earn that one.

[Dagny]

First, I am blaming Jen for this ridiculous obsession ;)

If anyone needs help completing their maison, let me know. I can send bricks and panes.

My biggest frutration right now is I am out of storage (and maxed out on my storage capabilities)! I am going to have to start deleting stuff which totally sucks.....

I started selling off stuff for more storage too. I only keep the big things like houses, and special decorations now.

So I'm thinking the only way I'll ever get these extra collection items out of my gift box is more neighbors... anyone else looking for more neighbors? PM me...

Speaking of collections, I have almost 40 completed. I'm going to post them tonight. Be ready!!!

Glad I found this thread!!! Level 35! Have fun!

[KimDis]

If you can post any of them before 7:30p you'll be my most favorite person ever... i have like 45 collection gifts that i can't move cuz I have 10 items in each set. It's driving me crazy, lol.

I'd LOVE to share all the gifts once the collections are completed...

[hapandpam]

If anyone is looking for Farmville neighbors, please PM me. I need a few more to upgrade my farm. Thanks.

If anybody would like to have a good neighbor (I come with some good references :laughing:) Please PM me.

Is anyone else getting frustrated with how fast eggs, gifts and collections disappear. I mean it can't be that all the gifts are gone within seconds/minutes..it's becoming frustrating to me I don't think it was like this all the time.

I don't even try to collect from the feed anymore except for coins.

I have found it faster if I right click on the picture of the item on the feed and select "open link in new window". Then after I collect I can close the new window that popped up and don't lose my place on the feed.

Also, FV Bonus Checker is a great app for collecting from your friends posts. It gathers them and you just click on the ones you want to claim. A new window pops with the item you collected, and close the window and repeat.

Farmville is a very addictive and fun game. I normally play to reach all masteries :)

[Decorated_Dust]

Hooray for Disers on Farmville!!

Has anyone started building the botanical garden yet? I pretty much just finished the nursery barn, and now I'm building something new. *sigh*. Oh, and I'm pretty sure they are using emotional manipulation so I can pay actual money to both feed and retrieve my puppies. The picture in the corner with the puppy in the cage? Ick.

Anyway, if anyone would like more neighbors, just friend me below and join the fun. I pretty much have all the neighbors I need, but there is always room for more. :)

[momofboyz]

I started building the botanical garden yesterday. I have been sending gifts to friends for it, but not getting many back


If anyone would like to be neighbors, pm me.

[Metro West]

I started building the botanical garden yesterday. I have been sending gifts to friends for it, but not getting many back. Well that's not very nice of your neighbors! Shame on them!

[DVCsince02]

I finished the garden last night. I think it's cute, but really large, so I have it in storage.

Add me and I'll help you out with yours! :woohoo:

[calypso*a*go-go]

I had just about enough supplies in my gift box to complete the botanical garden -- but then decided not to as it takes up so much room! My storage is also tapped out, so that's not an option right now.

Can I just say how much I hate the co-ops? It's hard to plan them just right and most of the time I have to go several hours without planting anything if I want to join another co-op as soon as my current one is complete...not liking that feature very much! :(

I agree I am not a fan of the co-ops as well. and I find myself getting annoyed with the people who turn out to be ? marks, they almost always never harvest their crops in time. :mad:

[DVCsince02]

I only am interested in the prizes for the co-ops, and then one is enough (except I like the grape sheep and need 2 more).

Finally got the red ribbon for the consumables award today. Stable stuffing is getting me there faster. I've also been trying to breed the rare foals in between stable stuffing. Did you know you can stuff the stable with a horse that is only 33% or more ready? So I can stuff about 12 times a day.

Lisa, did you see storage has been increased to 200? Just do some more barn raising.

Yes, it has been quite slow lately! This is due to all the recent changes Zynga has made to enhance gameplay. They are still working on things like the co-op and new gifting options to speed everything up again.
