alwayslooking - you are not on my friends list anymore for FT

I have gone up 4 levels over night too

alwayslookingforanswers · 21/11/2009 19:18

I've gone up 3 levels since I last looked at it. Thankfully once I allowed it permission to access my proifle blah blah blah it remembered everyhting I've done - you're showing up on mine.

SarahSon · 21/11/2009 19:20

I was on CL this morning at about 8am when it went off for maintenance. No hance of getting on since then. I am just hoping everything is still there when it comes back!

According to the fan site it will be a "few more hours" posted about 3 hours ago..... [crossed fingered saddo emoticon]

SarahSon · 21/11/2009 19:25

Sorry, my mistake, that was posted 4 hours ago... I wonder if it will be up again before bed

alwayslookingforanswers · 21/11/2009 19:25

yea I've been following the discussions on thre and saw the message saying a few more hours.

Hope I don't lose all my crops..........

simpson · 21/11/2009 19:34

will send you neighbour request tom as have used all requests today.

TBH have lost around 10 neighbours

May have to give up on CL as was totally broke after expanding and if these crops die won't have money for more

alwayslookingforanswers · 21/11/2009 19:38

CL was working fine for me right up until I went to bed last night.

Don't give up on it if you've lost your crops - as your neighbours to send you cheese machines etc and sell them to make money

simpson · 21/11/2009 19:42

yes it worked fine last night was on it at about 11pm.

Yes true, gifts might help

SarahSon · 21/11/2009 19:45

Simpson, the crops don't die on CL as I understand it.

My FV neighbour requests don;t update, it has been saying I have none left for 3 days but I have not requested any neighbours at all

Unless they are now combining them with gifts, I have noticed you can now select 30 for gifts rather than 24...

alwayslookingforanswers · 21/11/2009 19:47

I think what simpson means is that last time CL went down for maintance her stuff disappeared off her ranch and she had to rebuy it - as opposed to crops dying .

Gifts and invites have been combined for each application for AGES. (although I also noticed they upped the figure as well)

SarahSon · 21/11/2009 19:53

Ahh, well that explains it, I probably didn't have enough neighbours to notice that previously

alwayslookingforanswers · 21/11/2009 19:54

you wait until you've got 110 neighbours on FV - then you're really screwed trying to send gifts to 'em all

SarahSon · 21/11/2009 20:03

I am already at the stage where I have to remember who I got up to on one day so I can start from there the next day!

Niecie · 21/11/2009 20:50

Good grief alwayslooking, I would need a spread sheep in order to keep up with 110 neighbours! Apart from gifts, how do you keep up with visiting and fertilizing everybody's crops.

Actually, I will come clean and admit that when I first started playing FV I did have a spread sheet to work out which crop had the best yield based on the time it takes to grow, the cost of planting and ploughing, the price you sell them for and the number of XP points.

Probably a good thing it was lost when my old laptop blew up a couple of week ago!

Niecie · 21/11/2009 20:52

Oh er, not a spread sheep and spreadsheet obviously.

alwayslookingforanswers · 21/11/2009 20:53

visiting and fertilizing I have to confess now I'm only doing it when it pops up while I'm on the farm, or if I see a "please come and fertilize my crops" message on the news feed - as I've got both blue ribbons for that now. Previously I was sitting there going through the entire lot in order every day .

Hasn't been updated recently - but I used this that someone else had already done when I first started out

alwayslookingforanswers · 21/11/2009 20:56

and just found this that looks quite helpful as well

SarahSon · 21/11/2009 22:14

I am IN CL

[easily pleased emoticon]

simpson · 21/11/2009 22:26

nope can't get in it here

Can get to send gifts page but actual play page coming up blank iyswim

TBH if its not back up tom probably won't bother with it....

Somebody has sent me a new game request

survivor

may try that instead...

alwayslookingforanswers · 21/11/2009 22:28

simpson - you're not going to give up just like that are you?

Not only is it in BETA - but it's barely a month old There are BOUND to be glitches and down time.

alwayslookingforanswers · 21/11/2009 22:37

ok getting closer - first few attempts "nothing", then I got to the gifts page, and no further, now I'm getting up to 100% loaded then it's crashing.

but hey - we're closer than we were an hour ago.........and the entire CL world will also be tring to get in now as well.

SarahSon · 21/11/2009 22:39

Well I have harvested and replanted now, it was a little wound back, perhaps to where I was at about 7.30 this morning but nothing too drastic! Just waiting for the last of my flour now!

Hope everyone else gets in soon!

simpson · 21/11/2009 22:39

dunno will see how I feel tom

Did not realise game was only a mth old tbh

Have given up on RCK though as cannot get on it tried for over 15mins today and no go.

Although hoping to get harvestry sign thingie for pumpkins tom in FV

alwayslookingforanswers · 21/11/2009 22:41

yea if you look at their wall the posts from them start October.

Plus it's a BETA - and ANY of our other games - even the ones with n o apparent "glitches" could suddenly crash when they decide to upgrade because of the BETA status of just about all of them.
