Zynga Launches “FarmVille”. Does It Look Familiar?

-FarmVille Logo-In the past few days, Zynga, the leading Facebook platform developer, quietly released a new game called “FarmVille”. If you’ve played Farm Town at any point in the past few months then you won’t need any education about how to use Zynga’s version of the game as it’s almost an exact duplicate. The only feature the company needs is the ability to import the game from Farm Town over to FarmVille and they’ll have come up with a great tool to take over the users.

Zynga has been repeatedly accused for stealing game ideas from other developers. The developer behind Mob wars even sued Zynga for copyright infringement back in February, and it appears that the dispute is still unsettled. With one active lawsuit, the company must feel confident in their strategy of copying the most successful games on Facebook. Farm Town, the most recent game to be copied, has grown steadily over the past few months with over 3.7 million daily active users and over 9.5 million monthly active users.

With such high engagement and no previous competition only one competitor (Barn Buddy), the application has become an example of an extremely successful game on the Facebook platform. Almost 50 percent of the users come back daily which is an impressive feat for any application. So how does Zynga’s new version, “FarmVille”, differ from the highly successful Farm Town? Well, for the time being there is no public marketplace or “Saloon” in which users can go socialize with one another.

Instead, the game is focused on letting users interact with their friends. You can visit your friends farms as well as add them as neighbors. Honestly, this game is likely to be much more viral as it focuses on the interaction between friends, not strangers. One other improvement is the removal of annoying bugs that were prevalent in Farm Town. Often times you would click on a plot of land in Farm Town and it wouldn’t respond.

FarmVille has successfully removed all the kinks and now all that’s left is viral growth. The company is also investing in a large ad campaign which has been showing up occasionally around Facebook. Not surprising considering that this is a typical strategy for the company. On MySpace, they are reportedly spending $2 to $3 million on MySpace ads every month. Regardless, the company continues to grow and they don’t appear ashamed to use any strategy in the book, even if it includes copying others.

Will you be “Moooving to FarmTown”? If you are considering, go check out the farm they gave you.

I have to admit, all of Zynga’s games are essentially the same. And while I’m completely addicted to Mafia Wars, I’m also a bit surprised they’ve been able to find success with so many similar, stale games. On the other hand, the cases where the Zynga games (Mafia Wars) depart from the original copied games are mostly for the better, and add new functionality that makes the games that much more enjoyable.

Facebook User - June 23rd, 2009 at 12:42 am

I think I’m going to love this game. I am a total FarmTown addict and thanks to Zynga, I’m in major trouble now! I couldn’t get enough harvesting/plowing so now I’m playing this game! OMG

What’s more, is both of these games appear to be almost exactly the same as Natsume’s ‘Harvest Moon’ series!!

I play on farmtown everyday…but mostly to go to the marketplace to work for other people to get money(since i usually plant the 3 day crops)
but, you are not able to do that with this game…
even though the graphics are a lot better…i like farmtown more

you know. finally someone said it. its going to be hard for whoever makes farmtown to sue zynga, since the majority of the game was copied from harvest moon.

i got bored with farmtown. hopefully zyngas move will spurt both into a feature war that will add gameplay value to both sides. of course, i hope for that but these days im sure they will just file a lawsuit and be as anticompetitive as the person who “stole” their “stolen” idea.

They don’t have a marketplace & the ability for others to work on your farm, which is the main appeal of farmtown for me. If they’re never going to have this feature then I probably won’t move. However they don’t seem to have the bugs of farmtown either.

Also look up “myfarm”, “happy farm”, they’re are just like farmville, farmtown, barn buddy.

Can I play farmtown AND this sight too?

What Zynga needs to do is have the ability to merge Yoville with Farmville. Go to work on your farm, instead of going to the dumb factory. Have the ability to decor your apartment and your piece of land as well. that would be fun

ian de guzman - June 24th, 2009 at 10:50 pm

i really like playing this. if only i could access this without going thru facebook. facebook access is restricted here in the office. and my crops are already withered.

The problem with Zynga’s version is that you can’t interact in real time. Farm Town has chat in addition to the ability to harvest for others and earn more money.

It’s stable, but it’s boring. It’s got the same sort of limitations as Parking Wars.

I agree. A major detraction is that you can’t harvest for others, the major way I was able to earn enough money to build up my own farm on FarmTown. Makes it rather boring since there is limited opportunities to interact. I agree with Christine, if they would merge Yoville with Farmville (so that my apt/house is on my farm), that would be awesome!

I got so annoyed and bored with farm town, the bottom line is that it is TOO SLOW!!!you always have to wait on your avatar, while in this game it follows you!!! that is what makes this 1 so much better! also the avatars themselves have a lot more range feature wise. I also agree that yoville and farmville should merge so I’ll get more money easier!

Give them some time, it’s new yet. the fact that you can queue up commands in farmville is in and of itself a HUGE improvment over farmtown. I can make 30 clicks then watch my avatar go to work instead of sitting, waiting, clicking.. watching my avatar take the longest possible way to get there.. clicking again… getting an error message, like in Farmtown.

Ive been playing FT for almost six month and am not sick of it yet. And like Farmville, I visit every day. I like the single interaction with just my friends from FV. And, the public interaction in the market. What I can’t stand is the spamming and begging in the market. I wish we could harvest for our friends on FV though. I like helping others and since its only our friends, it seems right that we could be able to help them on FV as well.

Well it does seem kinda farmiliar but why don’t we just keep on playing it? I mean it’s fun it’s intertaining right!? Well then if it’s fun and intertaining then it doesn’t madder about anything only two import things madder and we already covered them.

I add my vote to Christine’s idea. I stopped playing YoVille for FarmTown because I felt like I could actually make progress. I am not interested in working at the factory. :) I love FarmTown and the only aspect that I don’t like is the focus on strangers over friends, so I will probably give FarmVille a shot–I can’t say that for my 30 FarmTown neighbors, though!

Jennifer Martin - June 29th, 2009 at 1:36 am

what is the point of animals in farmville? they do nothing but take up room, so I sold them all.

is there any trick in farmville that can make the veggies grow faster? thanks!

I can’t see my cows ect, they are there coz I can’t plant or do anything in that spot. what can I do, and how can I cut my loses and sell them?

Terry Rundle - July 1st, 2009 at 3:53 pm

i play FarmTown and started Farmville at this point Farmtown is much better (hands downs) however i play yoville and they made us be able to sit/down/ dance make diff actions (kinda raises the bar up) they need to make it so we can go into house and set them up and sit they did it on yoville so we know you can it would be cool to sit in yard and talk to friend ect! so as of now farmville has a long way to go i am going to hang a bit to see if you step up the game . as of now there only 34 level in farmtown and a lot of people geting up there we will see what happens but something does has to happen

Farmville is better with graphics,avatars and buildings,but there’s a lot more to do on farm town,besides,how come they have to “copy” ideas,why can’t they make their own?

Farmville looks great.. but the keyword is looks! There’s no annoying bugs like Farmtown but there is less social interaction and less work, which is not a good thing. While waiting for my crops to grow I loved going to the Marketplace to chat or look for work, even if they are strangers. I made friends that way, and it’s a good and fun way to make money in the game. You can not do this on Farmville though.. I want to harvest other peoples crops and see their farms. That’s the best thing in Farmtown. Farmville needs to add this and it will be major success. I just wish Farmtown would fix their very annoying bugs.

Sitraka Samoelisoa - July 3rd, 2009 at 10:58 am

pffffffffffff, ce jeu nécessite bcp de patienc ehhhhhhhhh

Woodie Ischer - July 3rd, 2009 at 9:55 pm

I cannot pull my farm up on Farmville level 13

I can’t pull up your farm in level 13 ? why ? because you buy more item than your money. So, be patient next time.
In other way, the game is so kindly and joyfull

Error is human; i’ve to say ***YOU CAN’T PULL…***

Farm Town is still my favorite because I can find jobs to make extra cash whereas in Farm Ville you have to rely on your crops and nothing more (except for the daily neighbor visits).

Farm Ville is a lot quicker and you don’t have to wait for each job to be completed in order to click on the next task. You just keep clicking and the tasks line up whichis great. If they add a market place where one can find jobs it will be great. They have copied everything to the dot, why keep back on this most imoportant point?

It may be a copy of Farm Town but Farm Town can hardly complain about it. myFarm (http://facebook.com/playmyfarm) was the original, a game Slashkey waited for it to have some issues due to the growth before ripping it off. The only feature that was in Farm Town at launch that didn’t come directly or work the same as in myFarm was the ‘Chat’ aspect and hiring (Something which lets be honest wasn’t well thought out by Slashkey, its going to get them sued at some point in the future because the chat is unsuitable for for those under 18 and there you have adults speaking to kids in a sexual manner) everything else came out of our game, off our todo list and off our suggestions forum that they trawled. Atleast they went for a different look I suppose but then their look is infulences by youville

Does anybody know if you can “move” a plot of land, in Farmville, if it does not line up with the other plots.

at the first it’s fun but next it’s become annoyed, because I always can’t login this game. how to quit from this game?

Adding ONE SINGLE PREFERENCE will make Farmtown perfect! Add a preference that will freeze the freaking avatar while you work. Also, make it where when you click on a crop, you can keep clicking and not wait on a progress bar.

I like this game but am frustrated as I cant grow my farm as I cant get enough neighbours to add land. why not have the level higher to buy more land and not have to rely on having 8 neighbours

Gabriel Alcaraz - July 10th, 2009 at 1:21 pm

dose some one knows in farmville…the barn o the fruit stant… do they give you someting for the animals o for my farm more expirienss???……..

could some body anser this cuestions???? please

The animals in Farmville will actually give you money. The chickens give you eggs, and the cows give you milk. It takes about 2 days. Just put your mouse over the animal to see if it is ready. When it is ready, you can get coins from the animals.

hands down this is better then farm town. The fact that you can set up multiple tasks far surpasses farmtown. That is the single reason I started playing farmville. The only thing that could make it better is to click and drag over a large area to select an action for multiple plots.

You can visit neighbors & work for them for some coins. The animals (w/possible excepting of rabbit) do provide “products” for coins. Don’t sell them, you can gain more coins keeping them & ‘harvesting’ whatever product they provide…..

Same w/trees.

I do wish FarmVille had a “Save” feature.

Farm Town is annoying to me. Too many bugs & too slow to do things….

I tought that the last part of the article:

“Will you be “Moooving to FarmTown”? If you are considering, go check out the farm they gave you.” wich links instead to FarmVille [not FarmTown]

….was pretty baffling!

Facebook User - July 15th, 2009 at 4:50 am

bla bla bla
talking about zynga stealing, why u didn’t mention Texas HoldE’m Poker in ur essay Mr. the most succesful poker game in the world

i’ve got this AWESOME glitch on my farmville, just setting up a new account and a note pops up from one of my friends asking if i want to help pull up weeds but the note won’t go away, making me click it heaps and earning lots of money and levels!! woo!
bet the rest of you don’t have a glitch like that!

i dont want a glitch bitch

I thought this was a fun game until it started looking for credit card info. No Thanks!

Love FV and FT - July 17th, 2009 at 11:00 pm

I noticed the new “cash” today, but nowhere does it tell you how to GET IT!??
Does ANYBODY know? We are only given $5 when it started, but HOW DO WE acquire more?
Thanks!

The problem I have is errors while loading, I never have that problem with Farmtown, and I do not have it with my secondary FB acct Zynga wants to blam the server but it can’t be the server if I m able to access it from my other acct. Their customer service is quick to respond with pat automated replies but to get a human being to actually look at the problem is another matter all together.

How I can expand my farm to 16×16 , what i must to do for this? what building i need, or some level?

Help, please

FarmVille still the best for me. It easy to harvest, plow and planting. I can’t for new updates expand farm. I’m in Level 24 now.

mob wars is way better then mafia wars

I find Farmville to be far superior to Farmtown..

What level do I need to expand my farm up to 16×16? please answer..

WTF??? how the heck do u get more Farm Cash??? I’ve been looking all over, and the only way I have found to get more is by buying it with real money ie. credit card/ PayPal. Is there any way to get some in gameplay? Let me know.

I would be fine with farmville except that I keep losing my animals. I have stopped accepting them altogether as gifts and never buy them. What good are they when all they do is go off into la-la land. And everything else works!

But also, if I try to get farm cash, I can’t get it because they want me, one way or the another, to pay for it. Either I buy the coins (It’s a game!!) or I have to join something. What the *&^*% do I need another book for? And I can’t drive a car and don’t have any babies. Why can’t I just take a spelling test or whatever and get the cash to buy the outhouse with?

Ian,

If it’s not allowed in your office, try not to plant the strawberries & stuff. Soybeans you can harvest every day, etc. Wheat I think is three days. I like strawberries but I gave up on them. Especially when I went on vacation.

By the way, I only have two neighbors. I’d take more if I knew how to check on somebody.

Mary O.

i just love farm ville because it gives you an idea of how to look after your plants at home

se puede poner el juego en español por favor

someting is wrong with my farmville, I was just getting use to it and now i cant login.

Here’s a concept for you. Create a game called LIFe with a farmville type setting. People are nuts about virtual reality TV, create something like that online that they can participate in. You start out the game as young adults, shop for home / Apt. and deal with lifes issues (work, kids, parents, bad drivers (lol) Have a bar where you can go vent about your boss. The barber shop where you can go b.s. or the beauty salon where they all gossip and the user can plug in they’re actual life comments. “Oh, the boss was an SOB today… the bartender buys him a drink”… Playdates in the park with other mothers…. purchasing decor for the home. Whatdoyathink? let me know.

I actually like both games, there are pro’s and con’s in each.
In Farm Ville -I’d like to be able to get the dollars as well as the coins in FarmVille, but I ain’t paying or using my credit card to get it.
Farm Town- my darn animals keep escaping from the gated fence, even though it takes up almost 1/5th of my yard, lol.
Ah well, it’s a game and a good escapism from the day’s woes. Peace out.

Since you have to “plow” anyways, why not delete the field and plow in the new area. You don’t lose points for deleting and you can neaten up your farm. That’s what I do now.

Please, can anyone help me? I’m in level 8 and this morning my farm was gone. Only a big green feld. All amimales, all plants, everything was gone.
How do I get it back?

Please, can anyone help me? I’m in level 8 and this morning my farm was gone. Only a big green field. All amimals, all plants, everything was gone.
How do I get it back?

My delete tool hasn’t worked in 2 days, and I want to do something different with my farm…any tips??

@ Mary: create enclosures on Farmville using fences to keep animals from straying…

I just wish you didnt have to have 8 players just to get more acres to farm on. My farm is so crowed that i have to keep selling things off to make more room . I love farmtown
and I like farmville but I dont think I will stick with it since you cant buy more land

I too have become addicted to FarmVille…but I, like many others, would like to know how to earn dollars instead of just coins, without paying real money!

WOW ppl.. why don’t you just install sims?

i am addicted to Farmville as well as allmy co workers however the abilty to cash is not there other than using credit cards! I would love to be able to visit my boss’s farm and maybe steal crops or harvest for him???

what do you have to do to get the 18 X 18 land plot?? I have tons of friends and am sitting at level 21???

ilove this game very much

I’m a little suprised nothing was mentioned in the article about the ‘myFarm’ Application… which uses the exact same idea, and came about a good 6 months before FarmTown! Games of this sort are nothing new… Farmville is a pretty good version of it, though it would be nice if it still had the chat oportunities that they used in Whyville.

Farmville is the best game i have played on facebook so far and believe me i played alot I just have 2 big problems that is really starting 2 annoy me now I am in level 22 with 700.000 coins and plenty gift and you tell me there’s no way 2 expand my farm that real real crazy i tryed everything ask 100 of question and no 1 could come up with and answer ever one seems to have the same question when can we EXPAND OUR LAND the animals on my farm cant even breed good due 2 this problem the next thing whats up with the farm dollars? I not goin and take my hard earn money to buy fake cash that is bullsh!T but my mainproblem is EXPANDSION EXPANDSION The Most I have unlock is 16×16 whats up with the rest and i will RECOMMEND This Game 2 NoBody Cause It’s Goin 2 be garbage Once this problem exist ZYNGA so lets use get some answers PLZ

farm ville is so tottaly super

the server on facebook is still broken …
To many people on it in 1 time -.-”

I love this game so much! this is i’m usually do.first thing in the morning while i’m taking my breakfast though sometimes i know i haven’t harvest yet but i want only to see my beautiful farm…F.V solid!!!!

Please work on the upgrade of our farms (size) on farmville, the land given is to small to enjoy playing

has anyone reached a level in FV where you can expand the farm to 18×18? i am at level 21 and still find the expansion locked

I’ve already reached level 34 on Farm Town so I started focusing my vurtual farming addiction on Farmville. I still prefer Farm Town for many reasons, but there are some superior features on Farmville including much better graphics. There’s still a lot of improvements to be made on Farmville, but I expect that, by next year, Farmville will be the king of facebook apps!

Being new to FB, I’ve been playing both Farmtown and Farmville for about the same time. Very addictive! Farmville programmers had done a far better job, but there isn’t enough to do, so its getting boring. I can’t expand because I don’t have enough neighbors. Farmtown has so may things that I have yet to attain, but the core programming has many problems. Hoping one or the other becomes good at everything to make it evern greater game.

at level 34 - was farm expansion available to you before this level? i am wondering when 18×18 expansion is unlocked

Why can I not get my farm to grow to 18 X18? No more room to plant or breed. May quit playing. I at level 27 and have apx 30 neighbors and over 200,000 coins. Help?

at what level is 18×18 expansion

i’m sorry, but is just ridiculous. What does it matter which version’s better? The fact is, Farmville is an absolute shameless rip-off of Farmtown and personally, i think it’s pretty disgusting that they can get away with that.

Seriously, just have a look at the two on youtube and quite frankly, the similarity is just shocking. It’s just a classic example of a larger, more powerful company getting away with murder.

What do you have to do to expand the farm to 18 x 18? I am at level 22 with over 200,000 coins and around 30 neighbors.

your farm is amazing how long did it take to make it is well just whooooooooo

I KEEP BEING TOLD THAT I AM NOT IN SYNC THEN I AM FORCED OFF. THEY COME BACK AND IT TAKES FOREVER. I WAS ON LINE FROM 8 AM TIL 12.19 PM AND STILL WASNT FINISHED. THIS IS GETTING STUPID. HELP

I HAVE OVER 25, 000 IN FARMVILLE BUT NOT ENOUGH FRIENDS AND I CAN NOT EXPAND. WHATS GOING ON. EVERYTHING IS TOOOOO SLOW IT TAKES FOREVER. I CALLED MY INTERNET SERVICE AND I HAVE HIGH SPEED AND THE SERVICE SAID MY PROBLEM WASNT THEM. SO I ASK YOU WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO. ALL MY FAMILY PLAYS AND SO DO THEIR FRIENDS I KNOW ABOUT 300 PEOPLE THAT PLAY AND THEY ARE ALL PISSED WITH THE LENGTH OF TIME IT TAKES TO CHECK GIFTS AND GET BACK TO FARMING. [POOP]

how i can unlocked big familly farm - 18×18???
i am 18 level

*Can you tell me how did u manage to change size to 16×16?

My farmtown is not working:(

i think it would be better if u could get it working i lost all of my crops.

And on farm vilee can you go to a market place and hire people to work and stuff?

what makes the application slow might be either because your computer’s speed is slow or your internet speed is slow. i have proven this theory by trying playign the app in two different laptops with different specs.

the avie in Farmville is more appealing.

i just wanna expand………………………………..

Farmville is just a prettier game! Better graphics by far. The animals actually produce a harvest which is fun. I play FarmTown as well, but I am turned off by how messy it all feels and looks.

pleace can anyone help me….. How do i get cash i farmville???????

Hi

I love Farmtown and I love Farmville. Similar game with a few different twists. My only beef with Farmville is they are too slow allowing the purchase of bigger properties. I’m sick of seeing it say “coming soon”. Since i’ve been playing Farmville, they’ve added new items to all the other areas but the size of the properties. Start concentrating on the land size or i’m going to look elsewhere for my entertainment.

On the question of how to get cash on Farmville: I just cruised through the forum’s &, apparently, to get dollars, not coin, you have to buy them with real money or complete the sponsor’s surveys that give you Farmville dollars for doing them. Coin you earn in the game, dollars you pay for with real dollars or your time.

When is land to become available..Can not buy for my farm Level 28 already and need land expansion is way too small..
Gifts waiting for space to be provided.

ok thanks

It is completely unacceptable that dollars can only be earned by paying real money. I have totally enjoyed Farm Town because it is a self contained game. I control the leveling up and the size and the product. The only limitation is having a certain amount of neighbors to hire others. I survived just fine until I had enough neighbors. I prefer the graphics on Farm Town as well…the Farmville stuff looks like cartoon characters. Anyways….I won’t pay real money to play…that is a sham.

Play it on Mozilla Firefox, it sucks with IE….. plays much faster on FF…

I agree we should be able to earn cash maybe for longer growing crops or something. or you earn enough coin to “buy” the cash…..

my game take to much time to upload some time i can’t even play the game
today from morning i am trying to see my farm but i cann’t open it plz do the helpfull

hi all

wondering if anyone can help me i lv farmville and want to get it onto my pc without having to go into facebook first, is there anyway i can do this?

add me.. Ollie Cueco
level 24 at farmville.. ^^ see yah!

Chad, your a douche. Anybody who has that much time on their hands to complain about a facebook game, to that EXTENT is a fucking wierdo? Your a bitch.

and PS: I play both farmtown, and farmville and they’re the exact same, and everyone needs to STOP the bitching. :)

please dont make us have more then 8 neighbors to expand some of us just dont have that meny people we can ask…. make it a higher level or put a pretty penney on it … I love this game,,I would like to keep playing it….and one other thought, the one ribbion alot of us will never win. again we dont have the people

I LOVE ZYNGA GAMES AND I LOVE FARMVILLE farmtown graphics are ugly

No-one has mentioned FarmPals or is that just too shit to be noticed…

the 18 x 18 expansion is not yet available and there isn’t an estimated time when it will become available according to Zynga

i shud totally agree dat all games of zynga r awesome….truely i am was earlier addicted to yoville and now i am addicted to farmville

you should make this a d.s game so people who don’t have a facebook can play

I love this farm game I just happened to come across it one day and I invited some friends to join me..The most involved ones were my sister and my daughter..It is actually a competive thing with us now…Love it so much..

Elizabeth Doknovitch - August 22nd, 2009 at 4:10 pm

I have been having problems with farmville all day. I could not get on, they are aware of the problems and the super strawberries still withered. I paid 15 coins to plow, then 10 coins to grow and now have to pay more to plow and more to grow again. I lost over 150 strawberries. That is A LOT of coins to lose!!
When there are problems with farmville, you should get your money back - this problem is making many people fed up with farmville. . takes the fun out of the game. . .

My FarmVille Im NooB :( help me plzz

My buildings have dissapeared, its too much, im so peeved that im not gonna bother to play anymore, they cost a fortune, i got a barn and the cottage and the rest tent, and all 3 have just vanished, the worst part is that i cant put anything in their place cos it thinks they are still there. Very Very annoyingt. Katie

YOU CAN GET CASH ON FARMVILLE WITHOUT PAYING!!!! I started with 5 farm cash, and noticed that as I level up and win ribbons, an extra dollar will quietly be added on here and there. I am currently at level 16, and I have several ribbons. My farm cash total has grown to 12 bucks, and I never paid a thing. I think that winning certain ribbons gives you more farm dollars. The game doesn’t tell you when you are being awarded the extra dollars, so you just have to pay attention to your cash. I would recommend saving your farm cash for expanding your farm. Don’t wast your farm bucks on decorations.

i think i might have found a way to get more farm cash!
i just bought a pink tractor two days ago, and both times i have used it i’ve got another dollar,,, also i think ribbons give you it too :)

muito irada sua fazenda .. eu to começando agora to no nivel 15.. mas adorei a sua muito linda em qual nivel vc está ?

I like Farmville, it’s a pretty decent game. I can’t be bothered to get into a lot of the other shit Facebook offers, but for some reason this game has me hooked. I guess, like what a lot of you have said, Zynga ripped off a bunch of other similar games, but besides Harvest Moon (which is awesome) I haven’t played any of the others. I will never pay money for cash, or allow myself to be junk-mailed by those sketchy “survey” companies, nor would I really give a damn if Farmville disappeared tomorrow, it’s just kinda fun right now. I do agree with the majority of the random bitchings on here though

Help! I have been playing farmville for a few weeks with no problems. Then starting yesterday, I have not been able to open the market to shop. I can go to my farm and plow and harvest. But everytime I click on the market icon, nothing. This has happened for 2 days straight. The market just won’t open. I have tried everything, to no avail. Any ideas why this is happening?

After the Super Berry celebration, I noticed my farm cash jumped from 2 to 4. Any ideas on what happened?

I like FV and FT.. Lets just play and enjoy it okey… It doesn’t matter if they copied FV in FT, the important is we are enjoying with those apps… :)

ive completed everything easy peasy lemon squeasy!

i hsve 1,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
neighbors its cool more neighbors u got more coins u get

Why do I ALWAYS have problems harvesting? My mouse goes all over the place? I even do it while I’m at work and the same thing happens, sooo, it is not my computer. Can you help me? If not, I have to quit… it is way to aggrivating.

Ok..you have us booked…now we need more land again! Thanks so much!

This is sooo annoying. I need a bigger farm but I WILL NOT spend money and the stupid sponsor ’surveys’ that are supposed to be free and deliver right after do not. I either get all the way through the multiple pages trying to get me to buy something stupid or I get to the end of an advertised ‘free’ survey and cannot proceed without accepting (aka buying) at least one offer. Total BS…

what a game it is cool

tips for all of you..
1. to expand..you just need to fulfill the requirements for each size of farm you are interested in to (how many neighbours you’re required to have to unlock it).. once you fulfill the requirement..you can buy bigger size of land..i’ve tried for 14X14 and 16X16..
2. the best investment is on the trees and animals since you only need to buy them once a lifetime and they’ll keep providing you with coins..
3. this is a virtual game..a real time game..so, bear in mind..the plants will use a real tick-tock hours..
4. trying to earn more cash - you didn’t have to pissed with the paying method provided by Zynga.. that’s where they earn more money..so, for you to earn more coins without losing your own real money..is working hard on your farm..
5. to earn extra coins.. try visiting your neighbours frequently..and when the popup saying your neighbour need your help in weeding their farm or getting the crows away..do help them..you can earn 20coins+5XP points at a time..and whenever your friends are rewarded (showed at your FB HOME page), click on their |get his/her bonus reard|..

det er et fuking fedt spil

zynga has some great games but some of them don’t load all of it’s contents, like farmtown for one.

Zynga is pulling a rip off on its Yoville customers. When I signed onto the game, I could earn 1500 coins per day for game play. I have also invested a considerable amount of real cash on the game. Then suddenly, without warning, Zynga changed the way you earn coins and now I can only make a maximum of 540 coins (or 672 if I can sign in every 4 hours). And although the feed back has been extremely negative about the change, Zynga doesn’t seem to be listening to its customers. What I’d like to know is, is it legal to take money from a customer for a game, then change the service to one of lesser quality? If I am encouraged to invest in a service and then after I invest, they change the service to one that I didn’t agree to, do I have legal recourse?

I have major proplems with adobe flash player can anyone help with this

what happened to my farm..i spent money and time on the game and cannot get it back…bob

of course an excel sheet is needed to maximize xp points!

I love this game. If anybody need a neighbor please let me know.

My neighbors are getting ribbons and not going on my home page.Please fix.

Can not load on the game. So many problems. PLEASE FIX.
3 people in one house playing and it is a headache.

Ilove this game and Farmtown. The farmers are awesome and very friendly. I haven’t started building my place yet as it is a work farm first! Soon,very soon, @ Level 30 ;-)

Cannot load the game. It stops loading at around 70%. Please fix. It’s been a week now. My wife and kids are giving me a headache.

o PLEASE come on when is farmville going to open up the big ole plantation & mighty plantation??????
coming soon is not enough info im getting bored!!!!
please doesayone have an idea??
PLEASE

To earn FV’s you need to plow lots of land in one go and then an odd gold coin will appear out of the ground, this will add to your FV amount. The quickest way to get them is to plant loads of raspberries, as they take just 2 hours, and just harvest, plow (just keep repeating as required). Happy farming!!

Farmville was great — when it worked — which was only the first few days, and once since I started it (nearly 2 weeks ago). Since then, the game either won’t load, or takes twenty (or more) minutes to load, of freezes once it loads.

When/if the game works, it’s great. But, as it rarely works, it’s hardly worth my time. I spent nearly two weeks building a farm and raising assets, but what good is it when the lousy game won’t load.

It’s too bad, they can’t get their act together.

I enjoy the game when it will load. It takes forever/if it loads and then I will milk the cows or harvest and then it freezes and doesnt remember what I did. I am not making money when I have to re-do everything and it won’t load. PLEASE FIX SOON

3 people playing farmville in one house.We are all niehgbors,and they are founding animals to adopt,on their home page. But it is not going up on my. Please fix.

Getting fed up with not being able to get on Farmville!

Those of you having issues…delete your cookies and temp internet files after using FV and keep Flash updated.
Also looking for neighbors in Maryland.

wtf FARMVILL omg i am so amazed not ahahahahahahaahahah u shold talk on this games yea and updated plezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz for my sake

I was requested to be a neighbor for one of my friends. Clicked on the link and accepted. Notification sent to her saying I was her neighbor and accepted. Well, this neighbor is still waiting (pending notification from me) and wonders why I haven’t accepted. I did! Any help or explanation would be appreciated. Thanks!

i am at level 40 and have 99% of my ribbons are we ever going to be able to buy more land or is it time to move on.

What’s after level 37? Still can’t get a plantation and leveled out. Why did they start this “Master of Crop so and so” if you can’t even buy more land?

why farm ville cant have a barter /exchange / market systems?pls think it over in this. it will make the game very interesting….thx

hi
i agree with neekie’s comment. pls start such features as soon as possible. thx.

Mildred Garland - October 11th, 2009 at 12:50 am

My Farmville game is not working all day today 10/10/09 what
do I do? My Sisters is working I’m loseing all my crops.It’s not the other games it’s just Farmville.

Cannot load today 11/10/09. Http error what is this????

I have been trying to get on farmville now for 3 days without sucess, all my crop will be dead i hope they reinburse me for this.

i am at level 38 am i playing a game with no ending please respond

wowowowowowowowo farm villi has been wank late le n y cant u just click when u want to delete some thing it bull shit

Farmville is a very cool game and i love it.I just wish you can send coins on farmville to friends

what are the yellow coins that come up from the ground when you are plowing or harvesting.

Farmviille is still in Beta. That means it is still in test mode and the public is the guinea pigs to see what works and what doesn’t. This game hasn’t been released yet. We are test subjects. Please be patient.

When the crops are ready for harvesting, its a such a nice sight to see. Beats the 10×20ft piece of land I have in front of my terrace house for planting. It gives me an architectural freedom to design. heck, I scan the page and kept in my computer for FUTURE REFERENCE. …who knows, I might get lucky to have REAL CASH to buy a REAL FARM and design it according to the best design that I made in FarmVille. So, anyone out there needs a new FV neighbour, search me name in the fb, and i’ll take you as my fb friends. For those who have real cash and wish to give me so that I can buy a REAL FARM, give me a text… ;-)_
just do it, i’m lovin it.

my name is john fleitas and i live in queensland
this is my first time to play

Well being patient is one thing. Being ignored by Zynga (which they do quite often) is another, complaints about connectivity to the application, error codes, to not even being able to access the application, complaints keep coming and Zynga hasn’t done anything BUT keep adding more and more stuff. Some people (users) even help by purchasing farmville cash and can not even access their farm. At the moment Zynga is now in the works of attempting another application called Fishville (another possible copy-cat of other applications on the facebook platform like: Fish world, or My aquarium) if they ZYNGA would finish 1 project at a time and hire more than the 30 Customer Service reps I’m sure they would be much better with less complaints via their Forum and the Better Business Bureau….

I cannot get on farmville tonight and my crops will ruin

why my farmville don’t work tonight?

I’m very fidget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE FARMVILLE! HOW COULD YOU INSULT ITS CREATION?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only can you get buildings, harvest and fertilise crops, grow animals, but also help out at your neighbour’s farm and much, much more! I think Farmville is Zynga’s best game production by far! I rate it 5 stars! :) Try it out! ;)

i’m so frustrated right now, because i can’t get on my facebook to even get on my farmville. i’ve had people look at my computer and they can’t figure out why i can’t get to it. can someone help me please?

my farmville has gone haywire cant delete or sell anything i need help

Sure wish they would release the 22×22 and 24×24 land on Farmville, I am full and can’t buy another thing. PLEASE!!

I want to change aooearance of farm.. How do I delete unploted plots. Or hoe do I start over without losing coins?

Can you get a ariel view of your farm?

I am not real good a this thing you call a computer,but I sure like to try. I have Facebook and I have your FarmVille down loaded. The other day I hit the wrong thing and now my neighbor site will not come up so I can see my neighbors all that comes up is my friends and I want let me invite sanyone as a neighbor . Have I done anything wrong. Please help me out on this. Doris

I am at level 31 and still can’t buy more land. Don’t understand. Running out of things to do. I like Farmville and don’t want to stop using it but am frustrated with my lack of land.

Contrary to what alot of you think, Zynga is not only listening to what we have to say, but also working on the bugs WHILE developing new stuff.
the farmville podcast:

http://zynga.podbean.com/

certainly gives a new perspective on Zynga.

This game is nothing like harvest moon, except for the harvesting part. You obviously never played the game so please don’t make comments like that when you don’t know what you are talking about.

how do you put your animals in your farm

hi,i am a big fan of farmville but i have now problems with playing i have updated my flash player but i can still not conecct to the server game,cam somebody tell me what is the problem?????
thanks

Hi,

Quite some time ago, one of my neighbors sent me a building on three separate occassions, however, the buildings never appeared in my gift box, nor did they appear on my farm.

Six buildings are necessary to earn the architect ribbon. My statistics indicate that I have 3 to go.

How do I retrieve the 3 buildings and add them to my farm?

sana meron akong farm ville

I am nearly at level 40 and god I hope I get more land, I have run out of room and have to keep changing things around, I love this game but I want more land so I can develop my farm more……my farm rocks!!!!

i am having problems logging into my farm on farmville, the meter goes 3/4 of the way accross the progress bar and then stops , I have tried on 3 different browsers with the same results . I know there must be a simple answer to this problem !

FarmVille has better graphics (proportional, and dementional), and more selection (crops, flowers, clothes, people), but it’s a very limited game.

FarmTown now has it where you don’t have to wait on one task to be finished to start another, but in farmville I can’t leave my farm until the avatar is finished without loosing the rest… that sux! I started FarmTown and in about 5 weeks I was at the top level… which I loved because now I can actually take the time to arrange the farm like I want it. FarmVille is a pain in the butt… you can only get land based on the amount of friends you have, that sux!

For people like myself (loners), this “rule” on both games where you only get certain privileges if you have “x” amount of friends is a MAJOR TURN OFF! We shouldn’t HAVE TO add people to our friend list just to play a game! It’s STUPID!

i am having problems logging into my farm on farmville, the meter goes 3/4 of the way accross the progress bar and then stops - please advise - I have crops to harvest!

i want to playb the game

I need Sri Lankan flag in Farmville. please advice me how do requites. Thanks…

can I move my plots if they don`t line up

love it just wish money was easier to get

I have found farmville a bit different the Fatm Town. I guess it is good that there are two competing products it should compel them to improve their products. I started a guid to Farmville with tips and ideas that I learned while playing. You can find it at http://farmville.invantix.com. There are tips on crops, levels, ribbons, buildings etc.

im trying to see if i like it

hey guys take a look at my friends/neighbor farm!!!!

When can I purchase the 22X22 farm?

how do I make more cash,not coins

I have lost 3 chicken coops today!FIX FARMVILLE!

If you’re having trouble logging in to Farmville and using Internet Explorer, try using Safari. It’s much more reliable. if you still have trouble, just try again. I haven’t had much trouble since I’ve started using Safari.

My wife started playing Farmville on my facebook account
But I like to sign her with her own Facebook account. Is there a way to transfer the Farmville she did on my account to her Facebook?

I am not able to add friend as neighbor .It keeps tell me I ran out of requests for this application please try again tomorrow. I didn’t even get to try one before it said it. I am just trying to add from my neighbor list. can any one help me and tell me why?

I love both farmville and farmtown I play both and yes they both have problems but what web site doesn’t. I love neighbor if you need a neighbor send me a invite. farm on

Cathy Sykora (Cathy Healy) - November 19th, 2009 at 1:13 pm

I presently have only seven neighbors, I would like at least one more neighbor.
So if you would like a neighbor please search for me.

I have had several gifts that have not been recieved do to the site hanging up. I’m having to refresh or use the back arrow. When I do either I lose my gifts from my farmville buddies. So far I a have lost three chickens and two horses.
Has anyone else had these problems?? Lost in Farmville cyber space.
