Is Farmville Doomed?

Something is wrong with Farmville. I cannot get enough people to get me something in Spooky Lane. They are making things so difficult for the player that cannot play daily. One of my friends to get the free shipping license for the Jade Farm had to finish the Imperial Shipyard, finish the Jade mountain, and master 18 crops! That's ridiculous!! Do they think by making the game more difficult that people will want to continue playing? I gave up on the quests a long time ago because I could not get them done in time.

I was reading about Zynga. Their stock opened at $10.00 per share upon initial offering and is down to $2.00 per share. They are talking about layoffs. I personally think that the nice people in the Customer Service Department will be one of the first to go. They took down the link to email or chat with them. They have this forum but it is very disorganized and hard, if not impossible, to find an answer to your problem. I even spent money to buy farm cash, thinking that would solve the problem but still no support.

All Zynga does is keep creating new games. I predict that Farmville will become just a passing fad, like the hula hoop the way things are going. Apparently, people are not spending enough money on the game to support it. I don't believe that, I feel that Zynga is using the funds from Farmville to launch new games. Farmville brings in 29% of its total revenue from games.

Where is Zynga's Customer Service for Farmville???

Zynga has a great Customer Service Department. As a loyal Farmville fan, I was dismayed to find out today that the support link is gone!!! No, I was pissed. They expect us to play the game, which has so many bugs, and now we are left alone to fend for ourselves and search forums for answers!

Let's work together to complain LOUDLY. To do this, there is a suggestion link at the upper right-hand corner of the screen. I clicked on it and made my complaint. I am asking all of you to work together with me to let them know their loyal fans are not happy!!

What happens if you purchase farm cash with your own money and some glitch causes you to lose some or all of it??? Removing their great Customer Service Dept. has got to be the stupidest move on Zynga's part EVER!!!

Zynga won't be seeing any of my money until this is fixed!

I welcome your comments!

Farmville "Fertilize All Won't Work Twice in a Row" Workaround

Ever use the Instant Grow feature and then try to use the Fertilize All and it won't work? It gives you an error message like "There are no fertilizer ready plots on your farm." You know that is not true.

I found that if I left the farm, went back into Facebook and then back into my farm, I could get the Fertilize All to work. This has been a glitch for a long time. At least there is a workaround so you can get the most mastery for your harvest!

Jade Falls Imperial Shipyard

We have all been wondering what this is. It's the Imperial Shipyard. It looks like it will arrive around July 16th.

What is it for? Well there are some rumors. One rumor said we will be able to transfer stuff from farm to farm.

I guess I will ship my Ferris Wheel from my Home Farm to my Hawaiian Farm. I don't know if they will charge us Farm Cash to ship or if our coins will suffice. I really hope they don't charge us Farm Cash. Zynga seems to charge Farm Cash for all the good stuff.

Get Farmille to Load Faster?

Okay, it's been almost a year since they came out with the feature to let Zynga save some files on your computer to get it to load faster. I tried it today and it did not make that much of a difference. I did not time it but it was not instant like I read on another blog. One has to wonder if that post was from a Zynga employee. The real test will be how long it takes to load it on my home farm. My home farm takes forever to load.

I noticed that when I cleaned up files with CCleaner and Privacy Guardian, I had to "reinstall" the fast loading feature by clicking on the link when the game starts loading. I will have to time my home farm the original way and then time it with this new method. Stay tuned for the results!

Anyone else have experiences with this new Farmville loading feature?

So I have tried this feature. It helped the farm to load a little faster but caused the Adobe Shockwave Player to crash so I don't use it. Adobe is having a major problem getting the player to update for Firefox users.
