Aren't animals and buildings one of the very first and fundamental elements of the game? Part of me hopes they accidentally broke it by changing stables to be coin purchase instead of FC, but somehow, I don't think that's the case.
I like the message in red text as the game loads and think that would suffice as an area to announce future, planned maintenance. A newsfeed message is probably going to be missed, as rarely as they notify us.
