Hi, thank you for visiting my site again. Now let's talk about the advantage of adding more neighbors in Farmville. Adding more FarmVille neighbors is awesome because you can then help each other out, send multiple gifts and share each other’s ribbon wealth. You can also get ribbons for having more FarmVille neighbors and get coins/experience points for helping them out.


The first way to add more FarmVille neighbors is to add all the people who are already playing FarmVille. They will be listed automatically under “My Neighbors” FarmVille tab. But, you can also ask friends to start playing if they have not yet found this awesome game. Also, ask friends and family to open up a FarmVille farm even if they do not plan on playing. They can use their new farm to send you gifts every day, and since they are friends or family, they’re more likely to help you out and do it as a favor.


A trick to add more FarmVille neighbors is to go to Zynga’s FarmVille Support Forum and add yourself to the “Neighbors Wanted” forum thread. In case you did'nt know Zynga is the company that created FarmVille, but you will need to add these people as Facebook buddies. You can post the link to your Facebook profile and people will start adding you as their new FarmVille friend and neighbor. Yes, they are strangers but they also enjoy playing FarmVille and are willing to help you out all the time.Hope this article helps! Please share to your friends. Thanks!

Hello friends! Did you know that when you try searching for FarmVille cheats on Google, you would actually have more or less 945,000 pages available to choose from? This simply shows that there are so many people who are so crazy over FarmVille that they are actually looking for ways on how they can advance to top levels that fast. For a start, you will be given 6 plots that have 2 that are ready to harvest, 2 waiting to be harvested and 2 more that are empty. But that would be long way to go before getting hundreds of plots to plow and plant like those who were already on the top levels.

If you search the internet, there are some cheats that may help you earn more coins and experience level faster that the usual, although some might work some might not, so its best to try them all first if you really can’t wait to have a huge farm. Cheats are also great when you want to get to a higher level quickly, make more money, get better gifts, buy better decorations or even help friends out by sending them multiple gifts on the same day.


Please tell your friends who are searching for Farmville hacks to get Farmville Cheats, Guide and Secrets here. When you are playing FarmVille sometimes you will run into the problem of having a lot of money but not available land to plant more seeds order to get experience points. This cheat is useful when you are also very close to a higher experience level but have no plots available to plow or harvest for points. You do need some money saved up in order to use this trick, so do not buy decorations or spend FarmVille coins on things that will not gain experience points.

The first thing you have to do is to click on Free Gifts, and instead of selecting and sending the item right away, right click on the button Free Gifts and select “Open in new window”. Continue doing so until you have several windows opened. Doing it late at night or early in the morning would be best since you can avoid getting error messages. To start this FarmVille cheat that really works, plow your 10 plots and buy soybeans. It will cost 150 coins to plow and 150 coins to plant soybeans, but delete those plots using the shovel tool immediately after seeds have been planted.

Another thing that you would want to do in order to maximize your gaming would be planning which crop to grow when you are away from your computer since crops grow and ripen at various times, so there is no way to stop the crops from getting ripe while you are away as well. Therefore, plant crops, which take longer to grow when you head to bed or away form your computer for extended periods. This little time saves money and time from clearing rotted crops. You see, playing with FarmVille is so great that it continues with its growth time even if you turn off your computer.

It’s the only 100% free guide to how to get lots of coins, get tons of XP fast, and just plain enjoy yourself in Farmville. Please share this tips in searching Farmville hacks to all of your friends.

Guys here a new update for you Plants vs Zombies lover out there. The undead will relentlessly try to overtake your living room for a second time on August 2, 2010 according to a teaser posted by PopCap Games last night. But from the looks of things you’re not going to have a white picket fence to protect you this time around. That’s right, all your favorite zombies are heading for the city streets of San Francisco.




I’ve raved about the gloriousness of Plants vs. Zombies enough on here already, so I won’t rattle on about it’s insanely addictive gameplay or how it is the best casual game ever created, and I definitely won’t mention that Plants vs. Zombies on the iPad is the best combination since Reese’s filled their chocolaty cups full of peanut butter. Nope, I’m not going to say any of that. I will however, encourage anyone who hasn’t played the original game to do so before the new sequel gets released.

How about you guys? Do you feel excited about the news? Thank you for reading this post. Please share.

Hello friends! Now lets talk about how to utilize and maximize your plants to protect you from being ravaged by zombie enemies. This setup is based on maximizing plant utility so read carefully.

Fume Shrooms: Both columns can begin firing on zombies as soon as they take a step onto the lawn. Splash damage hits all in the row. Can be modified to add one more Fume instead Winter Melons of behind the two Fumes on rows 1 & 6, as so:

Gloom Shrooms: Pool rows decimate water zombies and handle rows 2 & 5. The four at the back are placed to knock out Digger Zombies within zero to two bites – I found Spikerocks too slow to down them, so decided that the overlapping Gloom blasts would be quicker. The ones in column 2 are also able to hit thrown Imps (at surprising ranges!) and Bungee Zombies. Alone, they may not be able to stop Bungees in time.


Ice Shroom: One original and one Imitater. Leave it asleep until Bungees are about to drop down or Gargantuars become threatening, at which point I wake with a Coffee Bean. You can also plop down a Chomper as soon as the ice hits to get as many as 8 bites on a frozen Gargantuar, as long as no vehicles are there. Beware of the delay in popping though!

Spikerock: Other’s layout doesn’t utilize them, but I like their stalling Gargantuars a lot. The furthest right column doesn’t have any, so that Gargantuars can wander into range of more Glooms at rows 2 & 5, and get hit more times at rows 1 & 6, before finally pounding on the wall of Spikerocks. They’ll pop Zombonis as well, but Catapults will usually be stopped short of popping their tyres on the Spikerocks (lost a few back column plants to their attacks though). All in all, leaving the rightmost column free saves a lot of damage, Sun and micro-ing.

Cattails: As per other friends advice, there are four to deal with overloads of Balloon Zombies.

Winter Melon: You’ll note that I pack in many more than others set up. The extra two on rows 1 & 6 are to compensate for the lack of pool Gloom Shroom pwnage there, which is why the landed Glooms are stuck at 2 & 5 to make room. The slow and heavy splash damage make them indispensable.

Twin Sunflower: For quick Sun recovery in case of Jack-in-the-Box Zombie mishaps. You can try replacing with anything you fancy – spare Ice Shrooms, Cob Cannons – as the rear pool plants aren’t really necessary for damage. You may need the extra Sun recovery later, however.

Pumpkin: Protect everything you can! Spikerocks excluded of course.
At later stages, some must-have seeds based on what’s coming…

Jack-in-the-box-Zombie: Lily Pad, Fume Shroom, Gloom Shroom, Coffee Bean – to replace exploded Glooms.

Gargantuar, Zomboni: Spikeweed, Spikerock, instants – to replace smashed Spikerocks and take them down faster.

Bungee Zombie: Ice Shroom – to delay for defenses to kill them before they grab.

And in general, Pumpkin, Imitater Pumpkin, and instants like Cherry Bomb, Jalapeno, Squash, Ice Shroom and Chomper as needed.

Thank you for reading this post. Please share to your friends.

Hello friends! You know there’s more to killing zombies than just keeping them from eating your brains right?.  It pays.  In fact, there’s a store in the game that allows you to get plant upgrades, expand the number of plants you can equip and get random miscellaneous goods like garden rakes, pool and roof cleaners.  The plant upgrades are extremely useful.  One mutates your sunflowers and turns them in dual-headed sun-producers while another turns your plant into mini-gun like devastator.  While you’re killing, money will churn out allowing you to purchase the upgrades.

There also plenty of modes apart from the adventure mode.  Mini-games, puzzle, survival and a Zen Garden are some of the unlockable modes.  You can earn additional money through those.

The game is full of depth for being something so cheap ($19.99 direct from PopCap or $9.99 on Steam).  If you’re interested in checking it out, but don’t want to shell out the cash for the game there is a demo available. The demo lasts just 30 minutes, or about enough time for you to get hooked and download the full game.
Plants vs. Zombies truly impresses.  I was addicted from the start.  I played it for hours and didn’t realize where the time had gone. 

While being the kind of game you can play for long periods of time, it’s also the kind of game you can pick up and play for a short time and then set it back down.

The only gripe I have with the game is that it’s dependent entirely on the mouse.  I’d love to be able to hotkey my different plants for faster building, but that’s not an option right now.  It could be attributed to balancing, but I’m thinking it would be better with hotkeys. Have something to share? Please comment on this post. Thanks!

Guys, this Plants vs Zombies Tip will help you utilize and arm yourself with these variety of plants againts zombie enemies. Remember, diversity in plant life will keep you alive.

For times where you feel like you’re being overrun, there’s a plant for that.  Throw out a Cherry Bomb, a plant that explodes and destroys all enemies in the vicinity.  Facing a zombie that tunnels under your front line and starts attacking from behind? There’s a plant for that.  It shoots forward and backwards.  Fighting on water?  There are aquatic plants, or you can toss out a lily pad and build any plant you’d like.  Fighting at night? You can equip yourself with mushrooms that further change your leafy defense. 


Fighting in fog? Well… there’s no plant for that, but you can build a lamp post to light your way.  If you run into a zombie holding a screen door as a shield, it might be best to break out a mushroom that shoots gas through the screen.  If your plants are getting roughed up and eaten too quickly, you can give it a hard outer shell.

I’m actually pretty amazed at the variety and depth that presents itself in a game with such a simple concept. Please share this post to your friends. Thanks!

Here's a Plants vs Zombies Tip on how to make a tower defense game. If you’ve ever played a tower defense game, the gameplay of Plants vs. Zombies will come pretty easily too you. Build up your defenses, in this case plants, to ward off invaders, in this case zombies.

The game really eases you into the concept, starting off with only one path to defend and giving you gentle tips to collect the sunshine (because the only way you can build plants is with sunshine). Sunshine is the only ‘resource’ in the game and you will live or die based on how much of it you gather. It falls from the sky and can also be produced from sunflowers. There’s a good chance you’ll be overrun by the zombie hordes if you don’t stock up on sunflowers. A good strategy on most levels is actually pumping out massive numbers of sunflowers in an effort to boost the amount of sunshine coming in. That way, you can build more unwieldly plants to truly devastate the zombies.

There are plenty of plants in the game to help you fight away the zombie hordes. It starts off pretty simple, but as you get plants that are more fierce, the zombies you fight get stronger. The strategies for fighting also change. It’s not enough to just put out plants that shoot more, because some zombies have shields and will be able to chew through a couple plants devastating your defense.

Hello friends! Popcap Games announces that Plants vs Zombies is the Biggest Top Grossing IPhone Application to date. PopCap Games give us an idea of just how successful their latest iPhone (and iPod touch) release has been for them, announcing Plants vs. Zombies managed to hit 300,000 downloads in the first 9 days of availability and has so far grossed over 1 Million US dollars.

We all love PopCap Games and their latest critically claimed tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies. You may remember that we reviewed the game recently, and we knew it was going to be popular. Exactly how popular in as far as sales though remained a mystery … until today. The company has announced that within the first 9 days of the game being available on the App Store, Plants vs. Zombies saw a staggering 300,000 downloads, placing the title right up there with Bejeweled® 2, another of PopCap’s well-loved smash hit iPhone games.

What’s even more staggering though, is the amount the company have managed to gross from the iPhone flavor of the game. In an official press release issued today, the company announced Plants vs Zombies for iPhone (and iPod touch) had already grossed above 1 Million US dollars. Alongside this announcement, PopCap was also quick to reveal that its flagship product Bejeweled® 2, adored by Facebook users and iPhone lovers across the world, is officially now the first ever paid application to have reached 3 Million unit downloads on the App Store.

It also notes that despite huge success of its other App Store titles, this hasn’t affected sales of its other apps, stating Bookworm™ and Chuzzle™ two other PopCap branded titles, consistently remaining in the top 100 paid applications on the store.

Thank you for reading this post. Please consider to share it to your friends.

Here's an overview for Plants vs Zombies Application for the IPhone. Casual gaming has taken over the industry, and particularly the App Store, by force. Popcap Games is at the epicenter of it all, with several notable games--Bejeweled 2, Peggle, and now Plants vs. Zombies--being stand-outs on the iPhone. We won't lie: we were eagerly awaiting the release date of this long-promised iPhone and iPod Touch port, having fallen into an addictive trance with the PC version.

For those not familiar, Plants vs. Zombies is a variant on tower defense games, where the player sets up fortresses and weapons to stave off waves of enemy attackers. In the case of P vs. Z, your reinforcements are all mutated flora, while your adversaries are...well, yes, suburban undead.

Set across various stages taking place on your front lawn, the PC game uses rapid clicking to select and plant your defenses, and as the game continues it becomes a veritable click-fest. The iPhone port keeps the exact same stage layout and game design, offering up the entire game screen with no scrolling around necessary. Icons and animations are bright and big despite limited real estate, and the music is as weirdly catchy as we remember it.

We played a review build sent to us by the publisher, and no better praise can we place on the game than it shortly disappeared into the hands of the reviewer's wife for well over an hour. It's a fantastic and highly addictive puzzler, more condensed and tightly designed than other similar strategy games, and the length of each level is perfectly suited for mobile play. The touch controls actually suit the game better than the original's mouse-based play, making this the first Popcap game we actually feel was born to be played on the iPhone. It also helps that the simple five-row lawn design grid isn't that complicated, as opposed to the elaborate kinetic peg landscapes of Peggle.

Plants vs. Zombies only costs $2.99, which almost seems like an App Store typo. Plenty of stages of gameplay in Adventure mode and the subsequent Quick Play mode make the price of this app a steal, especially since it offers just about everything the $19.95 original does. And, as we mentioned, this would be a great game to blow up on an iPad, too.

Plants vs. Zombies is available now on the App Store. Let your addiction begin.Please share this post to your friends and thanks you for reading!

Guys! The Hampshire Lamb was added to FarmVille Market for 12 Farm Cash. This new animal that is part of the Swiss Alps theme can be harvested every 3 days. It will be available for the next 20 days only.

Here are the screenshots of the Hampshire Lamb available for 20 days only:

Please share this post to your friends. Thanks!

Hello friends. Two new buildings were added to the FarmVille Market. Check them now and tell us what you think in comments.

*Swiss Cottage – 32 Farm Cash
*Swiss Cabin – 250,000 Coins

Thanks for reading the post. Happy Farming!

Hello! Do you remember when the Black Stallion was mysteriously available in the FarmVille Market for only a few minutes? Well, despite being released for only minutes in the FarmVille Market, some lucky farmers were quick enough to snag their own Black Stallion for 40,000 coins. This release was unintentional by FarmVille.

According to some farmers, Zynga is reportedly correcting their unintentional error by refunding the 40,000 coins and replacing Black Stallions and Black Stallion Foals with plain ordinary Black Horses and Black Foals.

Here's a screenshot of the Black Stallions replaced with Ordinary Horses:

It has not been confirmed that this is true and we are waiting a response from Zynga.

Here's a statement from Zynga Developers:

Thanks for contacting Zynga.

We are aware that there was a glitch in FarmVille that allowed users to purchase the Black Stallion for coins in the Market for a very brief time. This was not intended. We have resolved the issue by removing Black Stallions and Black Stallion foals from the game.

Users with Black Stallions received Black Horses, instead. Users with Black Stallions foals received Black Foals.

If you purchased the Black Stallion from the Market, you were credited 40,000 coins for each purchase, which has automatically been added to your coin balance. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Kind regards,
Lucas S

Hello Guys! Now we will talk about the recent releases that Farmville has.

FarmVille Recent Releases: This week proved to be another really exciting week for the FarmVille team that was jam packed with some great new features and releases.

Limited Edition French Chateau Themed Items: First and foremost, we continued to release more items from our Limited Edition French Chateau theme, including the new Museum, Restaurant and Pavillion that can all be purchased from the Market for varying amounts of Farm Cash.

FarmVille Winged Mystery Box: The new Mystery Wings Box made its debut this week, introducing some very special new winged animals to FarmVille. So far, this box appears to be a big hit with you guys so if you haven’t had a chance to get this new and improved Mystery box yet, make sure to grab one from the market before they disappear.

FarmVille Spring Themed Items: And as things start to warm up over here at the FarmVille offices, spring themed items are slowly starting to make their way into the market, starting with the new Chick – n – egg and the Egg Fence. Both of these items can be purchased for Farm Cash and coins from the Market for a limited amount of time.

FarmVille Spring Basket: We also released our first spring themed feature this week. The new Spring Basket allows you to collect Spring Eggs from your friends and redeem them for special items.

Now, this feature works almost exactly like the Valentine’s Day Box and the Pot of Gold so many of you may be familiar with how this event works. But for any of our new users who might be looking for some guidance, here are some quick tips to get you on your way.

Upon opening your giftbox you will find a Spring Basket waiting for you. After you place the Spring Basket on your Farm, you will be able to start collecting!

Now, in order to collect Spring Eggs, you’ll have to receive them from friends as gifts. Eggs can be sent to Neighbors via the free gifts page. One key difference to the Spring Basket is that you are able to find Eggs when fertilizing a Neighbors Farm. Clicking the ‘Ask for Eggs’ button will allow you to send a single Spring Egg to any of your friends (just like the Free Gifts page), and give them the chance to send you one in return. (Note: You can only Ask for or Send Love to 10 Neighbors every 24 hours.)

As stated in the message you receive when first opening the Spring Basket, new farmers that have been playing for 7 days or less can send out more Eggs at a time. New farmers can send three Spring Eggs to a single friend.

Upon receiving and accepting a Spring Egg it will appear in your gift box. Clicking "Use" will place the gift in your box automatically. As you collect gifts, each item you can unlock will be revealed as you collect the proper amount of gifts, and the "redeem" button will become available for each item. Clicking "Redeem" will award you the gift in return for the proper amount of Spring Eggs.

Every 5 Spring Eggs you collect, you’ll be able to post a Feed to your wall to alert your Friends of how well you’re doing and give them a chance to collect a free Spring Egg. 10 Neighbors will be able to collect one free Spring Egg when clicking on the feed within 24 hours.

For each notch on the meter of your Spring Egg progress bar, your basket will change appearance, overflowing with more and more gifts.

Clicking ‘Progress’ in the Spring Basket menu will show how many Spring Eggs you have in comparison to your friends. We all know that a little bit of healthy competition always makes things more fun, so make sure to keep track of your friend’s progress!

Now, before I get into answering some questions from the community, there is a quick change to Horse Stables that I want to fill you guys in on. Previously, the Pink Haired Ponies and the Brown Ponies would only produce brown foals when placed in the Horse Stable. As of March 25th, Brown Ponies and Pink Ponies will now produce Pony Foals when placed in the Horse Stable with a Stallion!

FarmVille User-Submitted Questions: I’m sure this will make all of our pony lovers out there very happy. Ok, so let’s go ahead and get into answering some questions from the FarmVille Community!

1) Our first question comes to us from Calyr Elf and they'd like to know if they'll be able to finish their La Maison building once the materials are no longer available in the market. Once the buildable La Maison has expired, you'll no longer be able to send out its building materials, and the frame will no longer be available for purchase in the Market. If you've got any gift requests for the La Maison building materials that haven't expired yet, you can still accept them before they do. If you still can't finish the La Maison in time, you'll be able to purchase the rest of the construction for Farm Cash in the same way you can purchase an incomplete Chicken Coop expansion. The base cost to finish will be 50 and each piece of the La Maison you have in place already will subtract 1 Farm Cash from the total. So if you've already collected 25 pieces, you'll be able to purchase the rest of the construction at a cost of 25 Farm Cash.

2) Ms Nee would like to know 'What are those floaters that appear when plowing? They look like golden potatoes.' This is a question a lot of our new users have, and to answer you, the coins are a random chance for players to win 100 coins while plowing, planting or harvesting. It happens completely randomly with any kind of crop. If you see the coin above your head, 100 additional coins should be added to your balance. You can find answers to questions like this in the New User Support section of our forums, specifically tailored to help our newer Farmers get their bearings.

3) Our last question comes from IILtdesq, and they actually have a question about a feature that was mentioned in the last podcast. They want to know that if you get a foal from your stable, does that mean you'll never be able to get another consumable? Just so it's crystal clear, finding a foal does NOT affect your future chances of find any consumables. It just means that you will not find any consumables at that time. The next time you collect from your stable, you still have a chance of finding consumables as well as producing a foal.

Remember Farmers, if you have a question that you would like answered by the FarmVille team, please make sure to visit the official farmville forums or www.farmville.com for more details.

FarmVille COMING SOON Segment: And for this week’s coming soon , I actually have some more information for you guys about a feature.

FarmVille Co-op Farming: I’m sure some of you may have seen our loading screen image teasing the new “Co-op Farming”. FarmVille will soon feature new jobs that you can complete with your friends. Folks in FarmVille will ask for help completing various farming jobs. You will be able to team up with your friends and Neighbors to tackle these jobs for various rewards. Each one of these jobs will have a timer. If you and your friends finish the mission before your time expires, you will earn a Gold, Silver or Bronze Medal upon completion, depending on how quick and efficient you all were. The Faster you finish, the better the medal. In addition to this, if you and your Neighbors are savvy enough to earn a Gold Medal, you will unlock a very special prize.

This new feature is sure to add a very exciting new aspect to a game we all love. Since you guys have gotten a good peek into the details of this feature, it would be greatly appreciated if you could provide us with some feedback. Please make sure to visit the Official FarmVille forums if you have an opinion about this upcoming feature that you would like to share with us.

FarmVille New Limited Edition Items: And lastly, we have some very cool new Limited Edition items heading your way in the coming weeks. In addition to a regularly scheduled Mystery Box, there will also be a very special April Fools Mystery Box available for a Limited Amount of time. And as mentioned last week, our Spring Themed Limited Edition items will be coming soon, including a Chocolate Cow, Egg Shaped houses and some very cute bunnies.

Please share this post. Thanks!

Hello friends! Farmville released a new Mystery Box and it is offering some old limited edition favorites that many players have been hoping for. Like all Mystery Boxes, this one costs 16 FV Cash and is only available for 7 days. You can buy it for yourself or for a friend if you wish. It has a random chance of giving you one of the available items, so it is all in the luck of the draw.

If you wish to see what's inside the Mystery Box this time, read on for the spoilers and pictures! Confirmed items in the Mystery Box include:

Teal Victorian
Alpaca
Pleasant Crow
Cabana
Brown Pony
Waterfall

Here are a few pictures of these items in action.

Farmtown: Crashing IE While Clicking Full Screen Button

Hi friends! If you have received this error when playing FarmTown and trying to go into full screen mode, here's what you can do. Click on the advanced button, delete or disable the top 'Flash Active X control add' on and then let it continue to close down the browser.. when you then log back on FT this so far appears to have solved the issue as it appears there was a faulty Active X control.

See the screen shot below: 

Please note this is ONLY a possible fix for if your clicking the full screen button and has not been tested on other crashing issues.

Please also note this is NOT a given solution that this will work. This is something that fixed the issue I personally was having with clicking on the full screen button at the time. It helped a few others with the SAME issue but if done incorrectly and/or done on another problem could cause further issue. So try at your own risk. Hope this article helps. Please share the post. Thanks!

The following steps have helped the majority of users who are having trouble getting their farms to load. The developers have discovered the majority of users having the problem have many instances of accidental double stacking of fields. If you have ever thought you were double charged to either plow or plant a field you have double stacked fields. Those of you who have removed the spaces from between the fields are more apt to have this problem.

After you have completed these steps it is imperative that you check your farm for bad plots. You can spot a bad plot by the fact that the green box for the plow or plant tool slides under the plot you are working. Delete each of these plots by clicking on the field and choosing delete rather than using the bulldozer.

There you have it. The solution to Farmtown game not loading. Please consider to share this helpful article to all of your friends and Farmtown neighbors. Thank You.

Hello Farmheaven friends. Now let's discuss about Farmtown speed plowing. These tips will help you move faster than ever before in a non-health threatening way of course. Ever thought of ways to speed up your plowing efforts to impress your bosses and friends? Sure, some may say you can plow 4 squares at time; but that is only for your own farm. What about neighbors, friends and those at the market that constantly shout “Need Fast Plowers!”

Unfortunately the developers at Farm Town have not met the players demands by adding plowing by 4 squares at a time for anyone other than yourself. We have come up with the best possible solution to plow others at top speed! Yes, it’s even better than using the full screen icon and zooming to optimal ranges.

Check out this solution. Start in the top corner of ones farm and work to the right three spaces. Then jump down one square and move back up 2 etc. By following this method your avatar should rarely move. This saves you a massive amount of walk time. We all know that our avatars are a little troubled when moving from field to field at times. This method will make sure he rarely moves at all. It really doesn’t matter what direction you go in as long as you start from the top and work down and only harvest in rows of three. You can even harvest with the 4 being under the 1 if that is easier for you. Go all the way to the very bottom and then quickly run back up to the top in order to start your next three rows. You should find this method very helpful and speedy. Your bosses will be so highly impressed that they will recommend you to other farmers. Having references in Farm Town will prove important if you ever want to see harvesting pineapples in this life!

Queue your Plowing:
Here is the next fix for your addiction. Queue it up. Remember the preference setting that states “Wait for each plow/plant”? You need to make sure this setting is unchecked before you truly get the full effects of this. You can queue up the plowing or planting. This means you can plant or plow as much as you want; although, your avatar will not be at the most recent square right away you have just put that square next in line. When all of your squares show a progress bar the job is done. Click the Save icon in the top right corner (wait for success message) and then leave. There is no need to hang out and watch your avatar actually get them done. Waiting wastes precious valuable time as you could be harvesting or even plowing other fields. Try this on your own personal farm.. Queue up some fields and head to the market – then head back to your farm, wallah all is done.

Hope this simple tips works for you and your friends. Happy Farming!

Guys, I am not sure if this is really a trick or not. Maybe its just good information to try. When you need to hire some poor chum to work your farm, all the clicking can seem outrageous. What about just double-clicking their feet? From what I can tell this only works if you first enter the market and keep the camera zoom at default. You may get mixed results otherwise.

 

Let’s looks at the red arrow first. If you double click on their dirty work boots this will automatically hire them for harvesting.  Your mouse arrow will be perfectly aligned on the the sub-menu to hire them for harvesting. Double-clicking on the Farmers name will automatically hire them for plowing. Just a nice little trick to not have to keep moving your mouse all over to find what you want to hire them for. This will save our farmers 5ms from moving there mouse. Thanks for reading this post and please share to your friends.

God of War 3: Heart of Gaia

You will have noticed that a part of the wall has been taken apart on the right side. Move passed it and make your way up the vines, grab Zeus Eagle on the way.

Drop yourself down and take out the large column, you need to turn it 180 degrees, this will expose the vines to the right. Keep pushing it to the left and you will reveal a crevasse on the left wall.

You will once again need to climb the vines making your way across the gap into the next area.

Tip: Remember you can use your enemies as a shield.

Once you have come to the end of the path, you will once again need to use the prompt and make your way to the top of Gaia’s massive skull where you will finally come face to face with Poseidon. See you in the next level!

Farmtown Animals: Guide To Buying Animals in Farmtown

Hello friends, in this article, I will give you a helpful guide to buying animals on Farm Town game. In this guide, you will learn what animals you can buy at what level, and also how much it will cost you. Most of the animals can be sent as gifts from friends, but there are a few that cannot be sent as gifts. If they can be sent as gifts, I would recommend doing it that way.



The animals are very expensive and don't bring you any money. You can sell the animals, but they don't bring much at all. For example, to purchase a chicken, you will pay 500 coins. If you sell the chicken, you only get 15 coins. So, let's take a look at what levels you can buy the animals and how much they will cost you.

Chicken

The chicken can be purchased on level one. The chicken will cost you 500 coins. If you sell the chicken, you will get 15 coins for it. The chicken can be gifted to you.

Sheep

The sheep can also be purchased on level one. The sheep will cost you 800 coins and will sell for 24 coins. The sheep can be sent as a gift.

Squirrel

The squirrel can be purchased once you have reached level 19 and the cost of the squirrel is 1,500 coins. The squirrel will sell for 45 coins. The squirrel cannot be sent as a gift. It must be purchased.

Brown Dog

The brown dog can be purchased once you have reached level 21. The brown dog will cost you 1,000 coins. The brown dog cannot be sent as a gift.

Llama

The Llama can be purchased once you have reached level 23 and you will have to pay 2,000 coins. The Llama cannot be sent as a gift, so it too, will have to be purchased. Selling the Llame will bring you 60 coins.

The above animals are the only animals that can be purchased. All other animals have to be sent as gifts. The list below will show you on what level you can send animals as gifts.

Chicken and Sheep - Level 1
Dog - Level 5
Pig - Level 7
Cow - Level 9
Horse - Level 11
Bunny - Level 13
Cat - Level 15
Donkey - Level 17

If you have friends on Farm Town, it is best to ask them to send you the animals that can be gifted since they are so expensive and sell for very little. The animals that aren't on the list will have to be purchased by you if you want them. Having friends send you animals each day will add up over time.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article and please "like" this and share to your friends. Thank you!

Hi Farmheaven friends! Please listen to this. By buying things, you get XP! There you go. Want to level fast? Buy tons of stuff and sell it. By far the cheapest item with a decent experience gained is the Hay Bale. Look at the chart – 10%. Yes, you can literally buy experience points. Spend 50 coins on a single hay bale and sell it over and over again and soon enough you will level.

Who cares? Even get a program to setup automated macros to do it for you while you are AFK. This could easily get you to buying a mansion faster than you would think. Buy Hay Bale, Sell Hay Bale, gain XP, level, what more do you want? Another method would be plow, delete plowed field, plow again. This gives a 5% return on XP.

There you have it, another Farmtown tip to level by buying and selling junk. Have fun and good luck.

Here are some helpful Farmtown game tips for you and your friends. Please share and enjoy your farming game.

* Spend money on crops before spending on things. Crops earn you money to buy more things
* Be careful about what you're planting and plan around your schedule. Don't plant 4 hour grapes before you leave for your work day (unless you can sneak in on your break), and when you're low on cash, consider planting crops that harvest quickly. There are 4 hour and 1 day crops in the beginning that pay small amounts but as you progress through the game and new vegetables are unlocked, they are worth more. Be aware that they cost more and often take longer, too.

* When you've unlocked raspberries, take the opportunity to plant, harvest and re-plant often so you can level up! Raspberries are ready in just 2 hours!
* When you've earned a fair amount of money, re-invest it by going to the real estate office (in Maps), and upgrading your farm.
* Go to the market place to find help and hire help. Right click on a person to hire them to either plow, harvest, or to private message them.
* Go to the market place to earn fast money. People will share their harvests and plowing jobs with you and this can help you earn quickly. A great way to get noticed in the market place is to stand alone and chat so that incoming farmers can see you.
* Hire others to do your plowing. Once you've got 10 neighbours, you can do this. It results in 15 coins per square cost instead of 20 and also gives you XP (experience points) without your having to do the work.
* Zoom in to see harvests clearer if you're having trouble with a screen filled with comments about the harvests you've already taken in
* Be careful about what you buy! Selling price for items is much lower than buying price. A 70,000 small farm house sells for only 2100 coins!
* Some items (such as hay bales) give you experience points so they can be a good investment.
* Trees are great investments as they're bought once and continue to grow, providing coins every few days. They are expensive though, so get your friends to give gifts of fruit trees to you. You can send one gift to each friend each day.
* Log in each day. Not only will you need to see what harvests are available so they don't go to waste but there's a daily lottery that gives you extra coins.
* Refreshing the screen can solve a lot of problems.
* Water your friends' flowers daily for extra points.
* If you're having trouble seeing crops, click on the toolbar wrench and tell the game to 'hide trees'. You can toggle this game feature off and on.
* Add people to your buddy list that you meet in the market place. This can be helpful if you're disconnected in the middle of a big and profitable harvest
* Visit friends' farms regularly and perform the actions suggested (like watering or raking leaves). This helps you gain coins, trophies, and move up levels.
There are offers you can fill out in the game that will give you extra coins. You can also buy coins if you really want them. These things may seem like a waste of time as you can earn coins within the game but doing this at least once is a good idea. While you may get some spam, you're supporting the game creator and helping them earn revenue so that they can continue to invest in the improvement of the game.
* It might not seem necessary for you to buy coins from the 'bank' or fill out the offers to get coins because of all the ways you can earn coins on the game. But, filling out at least one set of offers might not be a bad idea as it can generate revenue for Slashkey, the game developer, so that they can continue to invest in game improvements.

Hello friends, here are some issue to our Facebook's Farmtown Avatar. Avatars are graphical representation of ourselves which has big head, huge eyes, and who never gets tired tired plowing and planting crops and trees and tending to other people's farms.

When I started taking out the spaces between my fields, which I discussed in my earlier post, planting crops have become a bit of an irritating experience. You see, when I clicked on a field to plant crops and the avatar is just around the next field, sometimes the avatar takes the longest route to arrive at the field just right in front of him.

I don't know the reason for this. Maybe the avatar is just looking for the unblocked path especially in fields that have no spaces. I want to get back to the spaced fields but I want to maximize my farm's space. I think I just have to accept the fact that the avatar is just like that.

Just to let beginners know, you can change your avatar's gender, color, hair, eyes, nose, eyebrows, lips, mouth form, and etc. So keep experimenting with your avatars.
Thanks for reading this post.

Hello Guys, there is a new FarmVille scam circulating on FaceBook. This scam promises to offer a “free” 66 x 66 Farm Expansion titled the “Industrial Plantation”.

Before you click on any links or join any such groups, please use your common sense and think about how they would actually give you a land expansion for free. Not only is the offer NOT associated with FarmVille or Zynga, we all know that Land Expansions (of any size, even unreleased) are not giftable or sendable, so the logistics of this scam would never work.

If you would like to check the resource of misleading FaceBook newsfeed notices like these especially those that offer free items, simply right click on the image and “View Source” or “View Page Info”. Real FarmVille newsfeed postings or shares can be identified by the referring URL that should start like this:

Friends, now let's talk about some know issues like someone is using your farm links. There are times when you click on a farm link in the Slashkey forum you end up on your own farm.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT SOMEONE HAS SOME HOW GOTTEN YOUR FARM ID AND USED IT TO MAKE A LINK IN THEIR SIGNATURE HERE ON THE FORUM.

This simply means that the member has attempted to make an alternate link to their farm and made an error while doing so. Any farm link that is incorrect will take anyone who clicks on that link back to their own farm.

Here are some examples of what you may see in signature lines here on the forum but they are incorrect.

ANYONE WHO CLICKS ON ANY OF THESE LINKS WILL END UP BACK ON THEIR OWN FARM

http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/

http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/?ref=bm&cid=bm

http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/?farm_id=12393574

A correct link will take you to the forum members farm. For example the link in my signature here at the bottom of this post will take anyone who clicks on it to my farm.

Most of the time if someone has an incorrect link for their farm someone will tell them right way within the thread they are posting. If this does not appear to be the case a polite pm to the member letting them know they have made an error in their farm link is all that is needed.

Please share this post. Thanks!

To all our Farmtown players and friends, we understand that many of you are experiencing having your browser's crash, close or lock up - especially when toggling the options on the preferences menu (under the wrench). This problem has been reported to the developers.

There are several contributing factors to this:

Farms with lots of things on them - and particularly those with "stacked items" (hills, waterfalls, man-made lakes, etc) cause memory leaks and problems with Adobe Flash. This situation may not be able to be remedied because the items are not meant to be able to be stacked.

Hedges (particularly if there are alot of them) also seem to cause memory leaks and problems with flash. The developers are working on the programming to fix the problem with the hedges.

In the mean time, there are several things you can do to prevent/reduce this problem. Please try these steps and see if they help BEFORE posting in the thread provided at the bottom of this post.

First of all, it is important not only that you have the latest version of Adobe Flash, but that you insure that you do not have a corrupted version. Please follow the specific steps below and be sure to remove Adobe from your computer completely and then reinstall.

Courtesy of the Adobe forums:

1. Download & use the flash Uninstaller from here:

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?ext...

2. Reboot to clear out any left over ocx files.

3. Rescan using Secunia PSI - if there are any insecure Flash elements left what is the path to them? U should not proceed to stage 4 until all U clear any problems found.(The overview page may look a little odd because it uses Flash for the pictorials) you can download it from www.secunia.com it's a easy tool to use just follow the commands

4. Reinstall the latest Internet Explorer Flash Player from here: ( make sure you copy the link below and open internet explorer and paste it into the address bar and press enter then download the file and it should install fine.)

http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie/

3A.If U are also using Firefox, Opera and other Gecko-based browsers U need this link as well: ( If you are using this browser just follow the same commands as above just copy the link below and paste it into the address bar and press enter then download the file and it shold install fine)

http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_fire...

5. Go to add/remove & double check Adobe have not installed the useless Adobe Download Manager - if U see an entry remove it.

Second, if you are still having problems and the problem is occurring at your farm, you may want to consider getting rid of stacked or overlapped items. It is, of course, your choice, but having these on your farm WILL lead to more problems. Only you can decide what the best course of action for you is.

Finally, it does seem to be a farm specific issue, so if you tend to crash while changing preferences at your farm, leave and go to another smaller farm with fewer overlapped items, change your preference and then return to your farm. This will usually work as a "work around" for this issue.

If you have tried all of the above suggestions and you are still having this problem, please post in the official thread:

In Opera, you can have several webpages open at the same time within a single browser window. Each page has its own tab, so this is called “tabbed browsing”. The tab bar acts like a taskbar, showing tabs for all the webpages you currently have open. All you need to do is click the tab to view each webpage.

When you first open Opera, you will only see one tab. To open a new tab, click the new tab icon on the tab bar, to the right of the last open tab. For more information about tabs, see Using tabs.

Closed Tabs

The Closed Tabs button Closed Tabs button at the far right of the tab bar is used to recover closed tabs, blocked pop-ups, and discarded mail messages. When you close a tab or delete a message, or Opera blocks a pop-up, the closed items are stored in Closed Tabs. If you accidentally close a tab, you can recover it from Closed Tabs.

To recover a closed tab, deleted message, or blocked pop-up:

Select the Closed Tabs button. A list of recently closed items displays.
For closed tabs or messages, select the item you want to recover in the list.
For blocked pop-ups, select “Blocked Pop-ups From” and select the relevant site from the list.

To clear the list in Closed Tabs, select the Closed Tabs button and select “Clear List of Closed Tabs”.

Gangster City Tips: Investing In Property

After you purchase your gangster city invest property, you can invest in it to earn more income from it. To invest in property that you own, you will have to pay a certain amount of money and be on a certain level. The more you invest, the more money you will make from the property. To invest in your gangster city invest property, you will need to click the property you want to invest in.

When the box opens, you will need to click the Invest button. A new box will open and you will see how much it will cost to invest. If you have the money to invest and are on the right level, by all means, invest. That will earn you more money.

Hello friends! We have received at least one report that there may be a 'Phishing Scam' on Farm Town – Recently Facebook itself was been the target of such issues and many people gave up personal and confidential information.

If you get a message on your screen asking for information, DO NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION SUCH AS BANK ACCOUNTS, PASSWORDS OR OTHER CONFIDENTIAL INFO. It may show that it's coming from something along the lines of 'w164.slashkey.com' and may asks for bank details, i.e. your checking account, savings account number etc.

Please note that this is not legitimate. FARMTOWN WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR YOUR BANK INFORMATION, CREDIT CARD INFORMATION OR PASSWORDS. You should never post information like this unless you're on the secure process such as paypal and YOU inititiated the transaction.

Always look for a LOCK / PADLOCK icon on your browser window before submitting any kind of financial info to anyone for anything. However even if you see this padlock ensure that you went through the process as normal, it's been said such icons can be purhcased. Go through the normal method and ensure the padlock sign is there and everything should be fine as normal

Even if it is a site you know and trust, the lock ensures your data is encrypted. Without it, anyone can read anything you transmit.

On the official PayPal site, they will ask for the credit or bank information and your contact information, however, this information is still not available to FarmTown.

Please ensure if you're purchasing anything over the internet that you're on a secure site and that you have gone through the process correctly. Do not ever input information in screens that pop up on your computer.

We will update this post as more information is obtained.

If you recieve such a notice, please take a screen shot of it and report the instance in the following thread:

Super Mario Galaxy 2: The Basics of Green Star

The basics of Green Stars are fairly simple. Green Stars in a level are proportional to the number of Power Stars in the level, meaning either two or three. Green Stars do not have a special condition to appear. Rather, they’re floating out in the open, waiting to be grabbed. They will not be inside boxes, chests, balloons, or enemies.

Most important to know for Green Stars is their distinctive sound. They make a sort of shimmery glowy noise when you are near them. This will be your big indicator as to their location or if you’re close to them. Sometiemes it works best to take it slow in a level and pay close attention to everything you see or hear. Many Green Stars will be painfully simple to grab. The very first Green Star in the first galaxy is pretty much right above your head, more or less, requiring a backflip at most to collect. Others will be downright nasty to grab.

My general rule for Green Stars comes down to going in order of your least-favorite galaxies first and working backward to something simpler. This will reduce your stress, as I mentioned earlier, and allow you to motor through some galaxies faster. I started collecting Green Stars from the S World first and worked my way back through all galaxies with gliding or ball rolling, then through boss levels, then all galaxies with two stars, then World 6 and so on. I ended with the Puzzle Plank Galaxy, my favorite for one reason or another. If you prefer to start simple and work your way towards more difficult galaxies, start in World 1 and move upwards that way. Nothing says you have to go in order though, so use that to your advantage.

Mafia Wars Tips: Mafia Wars Level Fast Guide


Hello friends, this is a useful guide on how you can build a character from scratch and level it into thousands in matter of days, no exploits, no paying money, no waiting for energy.

As most veteran players already guess, this is gonna be a Support Character not a fighting character. That means while it will be weak for fighting, it can support a mafia with thousands of best loot in the game, giving the fighters in that mafia a great advantage over fighters with no support of best loot. You will also be able to support your mafia master consumable requiring jobs with ease if they are having trouble with them.

WARNING: This strategy is somewhat math and calculations involved so if this scares you, you won’t get the best effect from it. As of this moment my character I levelled this way has over 200,000 jobs completed so I’m not gonna go through how I selected each and every job, I will explain how to select jobs generally but that requires you calculating stuff.

Preparation:

Be a level 2 fearless. Or a level 500 fearless with no points in other than energy. Fearless is the only character type that can be promoted as wheelman, which means you will have 5% chance to jobs for 0 energy cost. Might not sound impressive at first but when you think about it, by level 1000 you have probably done 50,000-100,000 jobs and making 2,500-5,000 of those free is so much saved energy that a maniac would require months to regenerate it.

Now for the hard part:

You need 2 people to promote you as both, top mafia mastermind and top mafia wheelman.
While it shouldn’t take you long to really deserve these positions, you need them right from the start. Ask your friends in Facebook who either don’t play MW or don’t care about who they have in their top mafia to promote you. You have friends in your facebook, right?

You also need a level 299+ fearless character and a character with over 15,000 jobs completed in your mafia so you can promote them in YOUR top mafia to get 11% more exp bonus on jobs and -11% energy cost on jobs. Just read through the add me forums’ posts to find these.

From this point on, I assume all preparations are set for you.

Phase 1

Phase 1 is mastering all jobs in the game. Mastering all the jobs gives you a few hundred bonus profile points, gives you much better chances to obtain loot and most importantly gives you a 5% exp bonus on all jobs done.

The guide’s focus isn’t on the first 250 levels and mastering all jobs, I believe there is a more detailed guide how to do this in the Mafioso Training Grounds, so I will just explain how to generally master jobs fast in one session:

1. Put all points in energy, from achievements, from job mastery, from the extra GF points, from levelling. ALL. It is extremely important especially in the beginning. No attack, no stamina, no defense, no health, ENERGY.

2. Don’t leave energy behind, if you need 1 exp for level and you still have 15 energy, do a job that requires the most energy but not over 15 and all the extra exp will be carried to the next level and you will have a head start.

3. Dump your stamina on much weaker opponents (this means smaller mafia size)when it gets refilled from each level, preferably on already iced accounts so they can’t retaliate.

4. In the first 25 levels, only use your energy on jobs that you haven’t mastered. For new accounts without any support of collections and achievements, and bad luck with wheelman+mastermind procs, you might have to wait for energy to do this.

5. When you hit level 25, job selection starts to play a role. You will have so good ratio on your exp required per energy that it is smart to use this temporary situation to do jobs with bad ratio and even collect consumables.

6. From now on it should be smooth sailing, with only consumables in your way. Everytime your ratio reaches 1.25, you should switch to Rob an Electronics Store job, you will need a lot of these consumables and doing this job before your ratio is 1.25 will force you to wait for energy and you can’t speed level.

To calculate your ratio, subtract your current exp from your exp required for next level and divide it by the amount of energy you have. For example:

I am level 50, I have done some jobs with good ratio. My current exp is 15,725 and the required exp for next level is 16,257. I have 300 energy left.

(16257 – 15726) / 300 = 1.77

You can do jobs that have higher than 1.77 ratio, so no electronics store in this example.
Most jobs you have to master in this phase have ratio of 1.00 – 1.85~ .. so keep track of it.

7. CUBA: You should start cuba after you have mastered underboss at earliest, I’d recommend after having mastered boss though. The reason is that you will not buy business in cuba before mastering all jobs in there, so you can’t get politico corrupto. By the time you have mastered boss, all the fights you did should have given you enough high end loot to trade for the politicos.

The way to master cuba, without having to wait for your business to make money, is to not buy any business in the first place. You start making money with the first job that doesn’t require anything to do, use the money gained from mastering the first job to buy requirements to do second job. Master the second job, sell loot required to do second job, and buy requirements for third job. Rinse and repeat until you have everything mastered.

Phase 2

So now you have everything mastered, you are probably level 200-350 depending a lot on how much help you got from others with consumables. Your ratio for level can be as low as 1.90!
So you can go ahead and spam virtually any high end loot job like there is no tomorrow, level up from it, get an energy refill from the level up, and do it again. However you do this for 200 next levels or whatever, your ratio will quickly reach a point where you can’t speed level anymore and your career as a support character will be over.

And now we get to the real focus of my guide, what to do when phase 2 starts, so you can level into thousands and have potential to collect new added loot in the game in hours.

Energy Packs:

Since you don’t need energy packs to level up, the only use for them is collecting these reagents. If you have Energy Pack available, start a fresh level. Demote your mastermind.
Collect reagents until you run out of energy. Use energy pack, and collect some more until you are like 15 exp from reaching a level. Promote your Mastermind back. Go do the Enforcer Boss fight, and you will get a huge head start on your exp for the next level, in the best case so good that you can level the new level from the reagent collecting job alone.

So you have reached now level 700+ while collecting loot and these reagents which you should own probably hundreds of thousands. When you calculate your ratio for level it should be around 2.15 now. The best job not counting poker game, is 2.11, so you would need to get lucky with mastermind+wheelman procs to keep speed levelling. However, the ‘Run an Illegal Poker Game’ is 2.24 ratio of exp/energy!. Because you already have the reagents required for it in so ridicilous amounts, you don’t have to worry about them at all, for now.

What you do now, is to do the poker game job, and your ratio of 2.15 will quickly become 2.05 and then switch to collecting guerrilla squads(or whatever loot you want to collect, 2.05 is for guerrilla squad). And when you reach 1.80 again, collect the reagents, you will still get more of them back than the Poker Game used in the start of the level.

Phase 3

Phase 3 is simply the phase where you are so high level that the only way to keep speed levelling is to use poker game in the start of the levels to fix your ratio. You will be glad you have thousands of reagents in reserve when you start this phase.

Enjoy the game!

There are lots of our Farmheaven friends who uses Linux as their operating system and wonder why they can't scroll the store or their buddy list. Many players using Linux have reported a lack of certain features whilst playing Farm Town, such as no vertical scroll bars in the store, no check boxes in the preferences menu (under the wrench icon) and no visible input area for chat.

There are workarounds for these issues;

For the store:
Highlight a visible item with the cursor, then use the page up and down keys on the keyboard to scroll. If the text for ‘locked’ items does not appear, clicking on the item will generally show whether it is locked or available to buy.

For preferences:
Clicking the text to ‘hide trees’ etc should work even without the check boxes.

For chat:
Go to full screen mode (click the icon with 2 diagonal arrows) then click back and the chat input box should appear. (Note that chat is not possible whilst still in full screen mode)

In addition:
In full screen mode the store scroll bar and preference check boxes often also appear[/b], and remain even after clicking back to normal screen.

Linux based operating systems do seem to have ‘issues’ with flash based games such as Farm Town, and unfortunately the popular combination of Ubuntu and Firefox is not necessarily the best option.

One of our members has kindly tested various browsers, and found that the following do work well;
Konqueror
IceApe/ Seamonkey 1 (NOT 2 beta)
Arora
Netscape Navigator (very similar to Firefox in usability)

There is also the option to install WINE, a windows emulator which allows Windows applications to be run on Linux. The windows version of Firefox with its associated flash plug-in can then be used in conjunction with this.

Chrome Tips and Tricks: Gmail Checker Extension

Staying up-to-date with email is one of the most important tasks for social media fanatics, and Chrome makes that task easier for Gmail users with the Gmail Checker extension. It’s one of Google’s official sample extensions and adds an indicator icon next to the address bar in Chrome that shows you how many unread messages you have in Gmail.

The extension only works if you’re logged into Gmail, but that’s nice because it means you don’t actually have to share your password with any third-party.

Listen Farmville friends. Now level 70 players can purchase Farmville Mansion! Recently on Farmheaven we have been pleading for more benefits for our Level 70 farmers and this update introduced a brand new FarmVille building, the Mansion, accessible to Level 70 players only!

The Mansion can be purchased for a whopping 5 million coins making it the most expensive coin item in the market. However, most Level 70 farmers have excess coins to spend and nothing to buy so it shouldn't be much of an issue for them to purchase.
