Farm Town is down? and other updates...

Farm Town is down? and other updates...

I received a couple of emails early today informing me that Farm Town on Facebook is down. I immediately logged on to my account and was able to get through Farm Town with no hassle at all. Maybe it was just the user's server that went down or there was a problem with the user's internet provider.

Farm Town has never been down since the last time we posted a news about it (click here to read the post), which is a good thing. And Slashkey has been upgrading Farm Town with more things to buy, more seeds to plants, and faster plowing and planting. Farm Town has gotten more interesting now because it no longer bores us while planting and plowing because of the speed.

Friends and Farm Town Neighbors
It's just recently that I noticed that the number of neighbors in Farm Town has a certain limit. I kept on adding friends as neighbors and lose some of my old neighbors. Hmmm. Maybe this is one thing that Slashkey should take into consideration. The number of neighbors must be unlimited to keep the first ones that we added as neighbors.

Thanks too for those who added me as friends in Facebook.

By the way, a friend of mine has started another interesting blog about Restaurant City. It's a pretty new blog and still not much entry but it's interesting. You may visit her blog at http://restaurantcitywaitress.blogspot.com

Facebook is down... unavailable

Facebook is down... unavailable

Been trying to reconnect to Facebook a couple of minutes ago but all I am getting is this message...

Service Unavailable - DNS failure
The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later.
Reference #11.b504093d.1250489918.1136e9c

Is Facebook attacked by another malicious hack like what happened a couple of days ago? I'm just crossing my fingers. I've some fields to plow and plant in Farm Town and who can get through Farm Town if Facebook is down.

I hope this will not take long...

Facebook Farm Town Update - My new facebook account

I've messed up my personal Facebook account with my Farm Town account. Now, I have hundreds of Farm Town friends in my Facebook account who are also reading my personal and work-related posts.

While my Farm Town posts will surely interest friends I made out of my Farm Town blog, for sure those Farm Town friends will not be interested in posts about my personal life or work.
With this, I've decided to create another Facebook account exclusively for my Farm Town friends. This way, I can post only Farm Town related updates and nothing personal or work related.

For my friends in Farm Town, please add me up through nicky_shankar007@yahoo.co.in. That is my account for Farm Town related posts. You can also add me up as a neighbor although I would have to start a new farm using that new email account.

Back to level 1 but I'm doing this to ensure that my Farm Town friends in Facebook will only receive Farm Town related posts and updates and nothing about my ever so ordinary life.

Again, that's nicky_shankar007@yahoo.co.in for those who want to add me as a friend in Facebook and as a neighbor in Farm Town

Facebook Farm Town Update

Facebook Farm Town Update

Another update from the makers of Facebook's Farm Town.

Just this morning, I found out that there is now an option for us to plow four fields in just one click. There is also the option to plow one field or two fields in just one click. And the good thing is that we don't have to wait for the field to be completely plowed before we can click on another field. Yes, you can simply click on the fields that you want to plow and the avatar will simply plow them according to the sequence of your clicks.

And this one is the best - - -

We can now plant plowed fields quickly. Before, we have to wait for the field to be completely planted before we can plant another field. Now, we can simply click on the fields we want planted without waiting for the avatar to move. The avatar will simply plant the fields according to the sequence of our quick.

And here's another great update... as long as you have clicked on the field that will be planted, you can log off from Facebook and just let your avatar do its job without you watching. I've tested that. I've clicked on all the fields that needed planting and turned off my Internet connection. When I logged back in within 5 minutes, all my fields were already planted. Awesome!!!!

Farm Town really rocks!

If you happen to find out another update, please let me know so we can share them to everyone.

Happy farming all!

Starting my own Farm... inspired by Farm Town

Starting my own Farm... inspired by Farm Town

I had the chance to go back to the town for a short vacation and the road trip was awesomely breathtaking. It could be because I am a Farm Town addict but the sight of greeneries - farms, rice fields, coconuts, vegetable plantations - has inspired me a lot.

Inspired to start my own farm.

But then, I am just low-income guy and buying a piece of lot to turn into a farm is costly in this part of the planet.

I live in the tropical island of the Philippines - where coconut trees line up the roads to the towns, where ricefields roll into as far as the eyes can see, where farming remains the means of livelihood for the majority.

I have long wanted to have my own farm. A small one, i should say, where I can plant vegetables - eggplants, potato, cabbage, and carrots. I want an an organic farm, to veer away from the chemically-infested produce that are now in my country's market.

I hope I can make this reality come true. All I need is just a little help from you guys. You can donate $20 for this dream of mine. I know with the more than a thousand people reading this blog everyday, it will not be too long for me to get a small farm with your donation of $20 or more.

Can it be made real? Or am I barking at the moon? Let me know of your thoughts.

New Farm Town Seeds (Facebook Farm Town Update)

New Farm Town Seeds (Facebook Farm Town Update)

There are new seeds available in Farm Town but most of the seeds require a certain level for you to buy. The seeds are all available for me but my friends (and officemates) who are new to Farm Town said the new seeds are still locked.



Okay, here are the new seeds with their corresponding costs and harvest price:

Adding Farm Town Neighbors and Friends

Adding Farm Town Neighbors and Friends

To all who added me as friends in Facebook, thank you so much. To those who requested me to be their Farm Town neighbor, thank you very very much. I am now averaging 50 Farm Town neighbor requests per day and I hope Slashkey (the creator of Farm Town) will program an option that allows approval of Farm Town neighbors all at once and not individually.

Please be patient. I will approve your friend and neighbor request one by one. We will soon be neighbors in a few days.

If this is your first time to visit this blog, you may add me up as friend at FB and as a neighbor in FT using my email nicky_shankar007@yahoo.co.in. I love personal messages to please include some personal thoughts in your requests.... thanks!
