Known Issue 19th Dec, 2024 : The avatar name for some players were set to empty, we are still figuring out why this is happening, in the meantime, we are automatically populating the avatar name for those players based on this rule: if your avatar name is empty and your real name is John, your new avatar name will be 'John Avatar'. If this happens to you, you can always change it to any name you want.

In order to change your email you don't need to have access to your old email, but you do need to have access to your new email. Keeping a valid email as your farmtown email is very important since this is the only way you will be able to recover access to your farms if you forget your password.

In order to change your password you must have access to your current email. If that's not the case, then you must change your email first for an email that you have access to, since we will be sending you security codes to that email.

Changing your Farm Name

You change your Farm name by clicking on the plaque to the right of your game level.
The background colour of the plaque will be brown if the farm is not fertilised.
If the farm is fertilised the background colour will be green.

When you click on the Plaque the Enter New Farm Name window appears and in the box in the top you can delete the current farm name and type in a new one.
Remember to click the green check mark to save the change.

Changing your Forum Name

Forum names can be changed by a Forum Administrator only. Requests for name changes will be taken under advisement. Send a PM to Taz D, marymarcel or Tiger after insuring the new name is not already in use by searching the member list found under the communities tab at the top of the screen. Once it is received, if approved, the change will take place immediately. You will need to use the new name the next time you log on.
