Farm Town on Facebook
« on: April 06, 2009, 07:29:11 PM »
Anybody here on Farm Town in Face Book? I need one more neighbor to reach the next level of capability. I figured if you were already there, it might be an easy hookup. If you want to do a search for me, I'd appreciate it. You would first have to be on my friend list. So do a search for Esther Waayenberg and then request that we be friends. Thanks. I know, I know, it's silly but I'm enjoying it.

Bonnie is there too.

I'm guessing "Farm Town" is one of the applications?  I ignore all applications but good luck in finding another farmer.....  :)

I don't know what Farm Town is either, but I sent you a friend request, Esther.   :)

Mikey, I did too but being a farm girl at heart, I had to look. Well to look, three weeks ago I had to accept it and after I accepted it I had to sign up so see it what it was about. And after I signed up to see it, I was hooked.

It is a virtual reality game type thing. You start out with a farm and I think a certain amount of coins (money). Then you can plow fields, plant a variety of crops that take differing amounts of time to grow and cost different amounts to buy and bring in different amounts when they are sold. Other people (neighbors or buddies or just people you hire out of the market place or realtor's office) can harvest your crops or you can harvest them and put them in storage. They get paid but not out of your coins. You can work for others too. Then once you acquire a bunch of coins, you can purchase fences, animals, bales of hay, crates, a barn, a well, and more. Also the neighbors can send gifts to each other of animals or fruit trees. As you plow, plant, and purchase things, you acquire experience points and move up the ladder of levels. Each level gives you new abilities to purchase things or enlarge your farm.

If you think that I'm hooked, you're right.  :(  I was up until 3 this morning.

Hahaha, I guess so!

I have noticed that one of my newer friends on Facebook has been "planting crops", and I was wondering what that was all about.  Maybe she's been playing Farm Town, too.

LOL.........  I know exactly what you are saying.  When I first signed up with Facebook I started playing with a few applications and soon realized that Facebook had become a Time Sponge.....  So I now ignore all applications and just enjoy the networking aspect of seeing what my friends are doing.

But some of us in the north welcome time sponges. Shoveling snow gets old real fast.

I'm on there as well.  You all can feel free to be my neighbor too.  I'm also totally addicted to Pet Society.
