I Let my Farm Die... so much for food...

Lol, you sound like you really enjoy Farmville. It's a great game, though I don't play anymore. I used to play quite A LOT actually. Now I play Restaurant City and Cafe World on facebook. They're also really great games. By the way, I don't remember there being any elephants in Farmville. Did they just add them?

I used to be a farmtown addict but I also tried playing farmville. I have also noticed that most people I know in facebook (even in real life) is simply addicted to that game. I'm sorry about your bad experience. I guess you weren't oriented about the game. When you buy seeds from the shop, you will notice that there is an indication on how many days or hours before it will ripen. These days and hours is also the same as the real life days/hours. And at the same time, it will also take them the same days/hours before it will rotten RIGHT AFTER it ripens. For example, if you plant a seed that would grow in two days. After that two days, go online and you will see your plants are ready to harvest. But if you are not able to harvest them at exactly two days, it will still take them another two days before it will rot. So, if you can't get online much, I would suggest planting seeds that would grow for a few days. But you also have to take into account on the profit you can earn.

welcome to farmville, me also i really love farmville i just started 1 mos. ago, its very enjoyable this game to facebook.The game will continue so you need to choose the plants or seeds that will stay longer, some seeds they have time and ready to harvest so that when you came back, its ready to harvest.For me what i do, when i got to work i choose the seeds that can be harvest for 3 days or 4 days so i can left my farm without drying it.And for the animals some of them they will send you a gift, so you need have lots of friends to add, so that you have lots of gifts.Why dont you also try the cafe world? its also very nice.Well you need to learn to be a farmer?

Farmville is a great way to let the time fly by. I had trouble at first but when you start to get the hang of it it really becomes addictive. If you need an Addy my name is Mike Tarson or http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/mike.tarson1?ref=name Have a good time on farmville

plant crops that take days to grow, then you don't have to be there much.

I like Farmville much better than Farmtown. The crops do keep growing and unfortunately sometimes dying even when your logged off though. I have my sound off when I play that game as I usually play it when my son is sleeping and I use his desktop computer! LOL

I have no problem with my farm in Farmville. I keep my farm with plenty of trees so that if ever I forget to harvest, I still have crops. With my previous inetrnet disruption this happened but my trees still have fruit.

Well, It happened with me when I first joined up. I like this game, also everything you sow has a time of harvesting and need to be harvested right on time, specially the crops that take less time. The ones that take more time are a lot less problematic, but still need to be harvested or they just dry up after a while. I have currently reached level 12.

O wow, and I thought I am the only one hooked up with Farmville. My husband is really irritated with me, being in front of the computer every hour, checking whether my crops are all ready for harvesting. Yes, even if you logged out, the game is still going, because of the time span that goes with the game. growing your crops and your animals are in sync with real time. So if the seeds say ready in 1 day, you really have to go back to it after a day, otherwise your crops will die. No problem with the animals as they can not die. Farmville is not the only game in FB that is insync with real time. There's, Farmtown, I love this better than farmville, because in farmtown you can hire other players to harvest your crops and plow your land. These tasks will make you earn more money and at the same time the other players can also earn money and gain experience as well. All I can say is welcome to the club!

I am into farm town and has been there for a while now. I know how it is to be stuck in something that is really addictive. I have not been to farm ville yet but heard that it is equally addictive.

It's the rule of the game, you have to take note of your time when you plant, and how many hours the plant will grow so you would know when to pick them up. The lenght of time for the plant to grow is the same lenght of time that the plant will stay before it withers. So be careful of what you are planting. :-)

Farmville is addictive as well as Mafia wars.. lol..

If i add you, will you give me a gift too. My farm is a mess too, sometimes i forgot to harvest and waste all my crops. I jokingly say to people that my farm got flood, not a good joke. I don't have enough money there but maybe if i'll try the cheat, i can get more money and a higer level...LOL

hahahaha, i am laughing letran because i never dared try to join any farming business, be it farm town or farm ville. my children are actively playing that and almost all my cousins and acquaintances, too. i told my children, my time in the laptop is my time and don't give me a reason that u have to be prioritized because ur plants are dying or u want to harvest them now. hahahaha... honestly, i refrained from joining that game because i don't want to be "forced" into going home because the plants are dying. also, i am playing badminton after office hours and i will already be too tired to plow the field when i arrive home. continue enjoying farmville, letran

I love Farmville and I also play Farmtown, Island Paradise, My Zoo and Mafia Wars. I love it! I just have to time it so that I'm not bombarded with things all at the same time or it does get to be 3am before I know it!

I left Farmville too and I told my friends that I did not intend to play it anymore, but they seem to be either blind or stupid since even after a month I keep on getting gifts and invited and the like. It's frustrating. I turned off the opetion to receive notices about what's happening in my farm, it'd have been cool If I could expand my lot without having to pay or invite a thousand people to join my friends list. Farmville was kind of a funny application, too bad it's based on money and I have no money to throw away on such stuff.
