New Release -- December 22nd, 2009 - UPDATE 4

[CM Horses]

Thanks for all the updates.... I appreciate all of the wonderful things you have provided.... Here is some feed back I am sure you want to know about.....

I am finding that my avatar starts out very fast and then it gets choked down... once the counting finishes then the the avatar starts going at a good rate again. I have a new fast computer, 4GB Ram, but it does not seem to matter on a lot of the farms... I have harvested and plowed a few farms that the avatar moves on as it should... It is very frustrating for the farm owner and the worker. Does this have something to do with the servers that our farms are on? I hope you can fix this glitch...

I think it does. I notice when i'm working with someone else, say harvesting, that my harvesting will be much faster than the other.
consider them to be on dial up, or maybe the farm itself where you are harvesting may be on dial up. must make a difference.

I play very much and as of now, everything is working great.
Some complaints in marketplace by some about not seeing someone, but I'm not having that problem.
speed on harvesting, plowing and planting is great.

I am on wf45 and mine is the same as it has been for over a week. It starts out fast and after harvesting 3-4 plots it boots me,then after I get hired again and if it doesn't boot me it is fast but after harvesting around 200 plots you can see it is starting to slow down,then around 300 your guy gets behind where you are harvesting and after it gets behind so far like around 50-60 you lose connection and have to reboot the game,then when you get back its the same way either boots you or lets you harvest fast til you have done well like I said before its all the same no changes,its fine if you are hired by a friend or neighbor you can go back to the farm but if its someone from mp your out of luck,you have to get it fixed,soon

Hi I'm on WF41 and no change for me, sorry. my avartar zooms through the work but the coins can take up to an hour to catch up. I don't bother trying to plow if I have got a harvest job it is so frustrating.
I don't understand why we can't go back to the release when the coins came out of your head.
Thanks for a great game lets hope you can get us all sorted out
Thanks
JP
just been working and got booted coins still slow.

This has been mentioned in the past but bears repeating. The more applications and windows one has open while playing the game the more issues you will have. Streaming music from another site, and surfing the web on yet another window, and chatting away on IM your Yahoo all at the same time will indeed have an impact on your game experience regardless of the power of your computer. We all get so used to the newer more powerful machines we sometimes forget there are limits at some point. For those of you who are still slow, try cutting down just a bit on your extra activities while playing the game.

By process of elimination, I have found this too be an exact of the
problems I was having. Thanks for repeating it. I generally shut
down the Yahoo and the AOL Radio player attached to my
Firefox before starting my Zen farming sessions.


ellshere, any ideas on when there will be a new set of levels?

Signed,

Level 60

I have evened turned all my spyblockers and virus scans off just to test mine and it still does the same thing,slows down I am running a T2500 @2.00 GHZ with 3GB of ram.So it shouldn't be slowing me down like it does just sitting here watching the task manager without doing anything on a farm it is holding at 56-65% all the time and thats on my 2nd farm with nothing but 800 plots planted with coffee. no animals no nothing.So that can't be what is slowing it down.

I too have done the same to test my system over the past few weeks. i have plenty of ram, power, and internet connection and run nothing except norton in the background. I agree there's more slowing it than my apps., which are not on. thanks for the suggestion though... it might help others.
