Now, we can feed our neighbors' chickens with a possibility to find a mystery egg in the chicken coop and that is after of course fertilizing their plots.
And the good news is that we can now fertilize 50 neighbors farms so that's really increased our chances to collect XPs.
Then, there's this new mystery crate. Definitely bigger than the previous mystery boxes because it contains rare animals. However, the price of buying a mystery box has increased to 20 FV!!!!!!
I tried one today and I guess I hit the jackpot because I got a JACKAPOLE. A small creature that looks like a skinny rabbit or a mini, anorexic deer but gives 700 xp. Not bad, I thought. Plus it qualifies for the "They of Mystery" ribbon so I was okay.....until my daughter got a beautiful peacock which I must have.
So off I bought another box and voila...another JACKAPOLE...which made me all the more furious to hit one more surprise....and..............another JACKAPOLE........
I really wanted that peacock so I controlled myself and promised I'd try one more time but this will be the last......and I got a cute chubby buffalo!
Not bad. 4 rare animals for 80 FV cash! Whooopppsie.
Is it worth it????
Now, let's go to how playing Farmville is becoming expensive now. Did you see the new ribbons they've added??? As in my previous post, I will never probably get any ribbon for the Lord of the Plow because I don't have a tractor. I only have a couple of plots that can easily be handled by my cursor!!!! All tractors need fuel and fuel is sold for FV cash right???
No problem this week because it's free-fuel week....and who knows it may be extended to free fuel month!!! One just have to be patient to collect from neighbors' posts on the news feed on sharing their fuels.
I repeat, I got no problem with that too since I have more than 200 fuel refills, which I got from previous mystery boxes, that I may never use because I am not keen on buying a tractor!
But check out the new ribbon again!! Now it's for the Seeder!! It will need fuel again.
I guess for those of you who have the tractor, the harvester and the seeder and at the same time aiming to achieve all the ribbons, you may in the end shell out some real $$$$$ to buy your fuel refills.
Sooooo, Farmville is starting to become very expensive which is ironic because with the more than 75 million people playing it, they generate a lot of cash to ZYNGA. It started from just one exciting application in Facebook just like the Bowling Buddies but which evolved into the most popular game in town. But shouldn't Zynga think about rewarding the freaks, the addicts and the fans who have put Zynga on the map because of Farmville by offering a lot of beautiful and exciting features in Farmville for a minimal cost?
Even the limited-edition cow designed stuff like barn, dairy farm, etc did not entice me to buy at all as they really are costly.
I'm still in the Farmville mania. I'm still and addict, but I'm slowly....slowly feeling that I have to think twice.
Hope I will not have any withdrawal symptoms soon!
