and the title of the thread can be


WELCOME To the Release of
Farms 11, AND 12.
More Levels (65), and a BONUS $100 Farm Cash
(cuz you are gonna need it when you see the prices of the two dozen new plants, facilities and tools.)

Thank you for your patience.... please see the corresponding second new thread for all your complaints, desire for #13, and whining about what you did not get.

The next release will include removal of all farms belonging to those who post on the second thread.

Therefore, we probably won't see farm 11 for another couple of months, also another 3 months after that for farm 12. However, they can do many more things that have improvement and more interaction between neighbors and their farms. I’m beginning to wait for Farm Town II, the ‘New and Improved’ Farm Town from Slashkey.

Raul said farm 11 would be out in the next release if they wait 3 months for the next release there will be no one left playing the game. You can guess that farm 12 will be the last farm and you might be right but a lot of people guessed that farm 9 would be it and it wasn't.

The issue that flash player caused was fixed by the developers a few days after the issue happened. The issue with flash was fixed almost 2 weeks ago. While that may have delayed the release a few days I doubt that is the reason it is taking so long to get this release. Unless the release contains something new that is not like anything we have now it shouldn't take that long to get together. The coding for the facilities should be basically the same the only thing different is the graphics, and the products, so adding a new facility shouldn't be that hard. The basic coding is done already they just have to add the new stuff. This is the same with the start all tools they have the basic coding done they just change the coding to fit the next set of facilities for that tool, but they don't have to write the coding for that tool from scratch. Bottom line is I don't know why this update is taking so long but I doubt it has anything to do with flash player.

However, judging from the information post(s) at the time of a release, and the accompanying spelling and grammar.... well, I would not suggest that Raul or one of his cohorts be asked to keep us up to date (could be more confusing)

Therefore, I submit that Mr Downunder, Tony, be nominated as the go-between, or the Press Secretary, for the devs. In the US we have daily press releases from the white house. But FT is much more important than that, so we could have a P/R maybe twice a week

what, when, where, why, how

I realize that each P/R would be only based on "anticipated" changes.

And I second the motion for a concentrated effort to advertise and promote the game.

Who know, maybe many, MANY, former players who only tried it for a short time, or became bored in the early days, will return.

They would certainly be shocked at how far the game has come.

LMAO thats the funniest thing Ive heard all thread... yesssss FT is far more important than the White House! Yes I agree too.. Tony would be an excellent PR person so I "third" the motion! Yes I too think that people would be shocked if they came back and saw the progression with this amazing game! Added bonus is we have you Stoneface to keep us entertained! Thanks for that!

Indeed and I think more and more are jumping on this band wagon with their thoughts

Well you may be right around the number of farms available. Twelve seems like it would complete the rectangle. At some point you do have enough farms... just not sure what that number is

I guess the other items could go on forever - only creativity would be the restriction. Someone starting today has lots they can add for a while

I also agree threats and impolite comments are not helpful. The game designers and programers do try there best to get it done.

My only suggestion is that slaskkey sends out the occasional informational item to highlight their plans or release schedule. It would appear many companies flag upcoming changes or plans for the future in releases. Raul himself pointed to an upcoming farm 11 in this thread (first message). Had he said - in Sept 2011 for example - it might have been helpful (there would thus not b the current expectations.... Slaskey may well need to adjust as they go, and possibly even chnge the date. But at least we woud have a sense of what is happening. Could be as simple as adding a new message to the threads - upcoming release..... some general comments and timeframes...

Oh don't get me started with those dang new names for upcoming farms again..When it was 1 st posted I'm thinking why r u asking now when a new release is due to come out..Now we can pretty much assume that it was posted just to keep us amused for a little bit...Well I'm not amused and I really don't give a hoot what the new names are..Just let people know what's going on....

Im sure it wont be far away the devs dont give a exact date as to when the next release will come out it would be great if they did or gave a update to its progress but I think the devs give us lots to play with and will be worth the wait.

In the meantime we have Stoneface to keep us all amused
