MegaHarvester – a harvester that harvests all ready crops (same as above).MegaPlow – a plow that plows your entire farm (kind of like the arborists and farmhands).Expandable chicken coup – up to 100 chickens or be able to buy more than 1 coup.Ability to buy Unwither for coin, not just FV cash.Savvy Marketer Award: Goes to the person who came up with the idea that you can get 3 of one item if you recruit a new person to play FarmVille when you are requesting a gift. Her name should be called NancySquarepants and the snitch should get a life. Whoever thought this up at Zynga should be given the blue ribbon for best idea and a raise frankly, because people were scamming the hell out of this until tattletale NancyOveralls spilled the beans on the Zynga forum. You don’t feel so disappointed accepting a blind egg, not knowing what’s in it. Those items were perhaps my saving grace when it came to saving me time.Ĭreative Mind Award: Changing the way the Mystery Eggs appear to appear more like the Mystery Easter Egg Reward. Happy Farmer Award goes to the best thing(s): The farm hands, arborists, unwither and the bonus packs. It was like they were figuring it out as they were going along. In concept, it sounded cool, but the execution was weak. Now for the “awards” ceremony…ĭonny Dummy Award for the dumbest thing(s): The double sized avatar – I still can’t get over that silly “reward.” Whoever thought that was a good idea at Zynga should get the award for dumbest FarmVille idea of the year and be harassed every day by his/her co-workers for such a stupid idea. I posted a bunch of those tips and tricks throughout this blog just because it made the game more compelling.Īs promised, I took a photo of my farm, which will probably piss the folks off over at PETA by the way I packed in my little calves.And I got to level 50!īut with all do respect, there were some great and stupid things that came out of FarmVille. The reason they have constant updates is not only to make the game better and more interesting, but to make it so that you can’t scam it. But, if you are a busy bee or employed then this game will suck up your time like crumbs in a vacuum. I found that this game passed the time and if you are lonely, bored, retired, sick, a stay at home mom with little ones in school or unemployed and looking for a job (like me) then this game would probably appeal to you. My assessment of the game itself: one big time suck. After all, the developers at Zynga are constantly updating this game with new things to build, buy, or get. I don’t find the game addicting, although, I can see how people with addictive personalities could find it addicting. I have to mention that in the beginning of this blog someone asked me, “so will you quit after the 99 days or will you keep going because you are addicted?” I replied then that I would be quitting and I am a woman of my word. I hope you found my posts funny and useful. Before I knew it, a friend of mine hooked me up with 50 of her FarmVille friends – thanks Colleen! And my experiment took off from there with over 20,000 unique visitors in 99 days. The whole reason I started this blog was because I was trying to get a job at Zynga and I figured I should know how the games work.
