I've only been on here for a few days,but in that time I have been insulted,and have read threads that are downright mean spirited. I had hoped to share my love for this game with others,but have been unable to find people to friend that want to do the same. If you are out there ,I would really like to have someone redeem my feelings about this sight. Friend me.
I've only just joined the forum, but have been reading here for a while... so here's one new face for you to talk to.
Hi Robinecklund. Sorry you have had some negative experiences on the forum in your first few days. I do not think that is typical, and hope you will have a better experience soon.Quote:

happy farming!
I've got a lot of friends on the game,have already posted my gc and had 2 more takers. It's just on this form that I'm having issues. Thank you for your good thoughts.
You may have taken it wrongly, and I will apologize for any confusion made. You didnt mention reselling stuffs in that post, so I just take into account what you wrote initially. To be honest, making another half of coins by reselling is a huge task too. Anyway, although I have doubts on a mil at level 25, I have no strong feeling about that. Its unlike the opening post, which is over a billion at level 58. Thats 4.2M xp total. And by a similar calculation, that is way more than your coins/xp ratio too. My aim of that post was not against you, but I didnt manage to calculate the total xp of that person before I had to leave my workplace. So, again, I will apologize for the feeling you received.
I'm truly sorry that you're having such a negative experience. Yes, we do sometimes have our strong opinions and disagreements but, we're actually a very friendly and helpful crowd on the whole.Quote:

I'd like to invite you to visit our Off-Topic section. There you'll find all sorts of fantastic threads that will give you smiles and chuckles and show you a part of our other side...more of what we usually are like when we're not struggling with things that are out of w!ack.
Give us a little more time and you'll see that we really are, generally, a very nice bunch of geeks, sages, goofballs, and philanthropists. :)
I'd be very happy to join you as forum friends and have sent you a request. :)
I agree with cricks. I think you may have gotten caught in the backlash aimed at someone offering to help us all make massive amounts of money in a matter of seconds. Most of us hate the chèaters , both the ones who really hãck the game, and the ones who try to chèåt you by claiming to help you c h e a t. Those guys usually get the emotions high in any post.
I looked back at your posts and while I imagine it is possible to make a lot of money early in the game, by only buying and selling in the RSS and not producing enough to level up, most people don't go that route. What we see in this game instead are people who level up too fast to make any decent money. It's practically built into the game, since you get access to truck orders before your shop, and many new players think you have to do truck orders. We often have to tell them to stop filling trucks and boats. It seems to be human nature to want to level up, but in hay day, unlike other games, going slow seems to be the best way to advance due to the need to buy many new machines at each level. Level too fast and you don't have the cash to buy the machines. Go slower and you do, but that desire to see what is around the bend is just so strong. That's why some may have doubted your results because it goes against what MOST people do. There are times when I really want to start all over and see how long it takes if I followed my own advice. But as I have said many many times, there is only one way to play the game and that way is your own way. What ever floats your boat, if you will excuse the pun.
So hang around a while longer and don't let someone's bad day or language barrier, or even the difficulty that happens with the written word, chase you away. We can be a great group.
That's all I have

Remember that most of the time people try to give the best advice they know off, but peoples view can be different.
Where some for instance love to rush levels and build up money later (which btw can be a very valid tactic if you are not planning on doing boats), most prefer to have the next building price ready to go before they level up.
Arguments for the last tactic are mostly shared among higher levels since they normally aim at completing boats and not having that brand new machine will seriously hamper your boat potential.
For the first tactic one might argue that at later levels you can make higher tier products that sell for more cash even if you dont have the buildings from previous levels. For instance crops do not care which machines you dont have, so anything that merely requires crops is viable for someone who rushes levels. For this (even though I dont recommend mass producing these :P) I offer the baked tomato from the barbeque. Since the only requirement for this product is a steady flow of tomatoes and a barbeque (which in all fairness is so cheap that this shouldnt be an issue), you can use a product like this one to rake in money at a later stage. Of course you could also rush levels just to go bezerk on crops/trees/bushes since the only requirement to do these are the cropslots and for the plants you would like a stockpile of axes and saws ready.
Also the neighbourhood topic was presented. Some feared the competitive edge that these might bring, others watched in glee as they were able to unite people they play with. For this there is only one remedy, find a neighbourhood that works in a way you like. Are you always looking to be the best and want to be on the winning team? Find the neighbourhood that keeps its members sharp and focussed on the goal.
Would you like a neighbourhood that is more of the social type? Look for adds of neighbourhoods that advertise themselves as being social and lay-backed.
Do you prefer to play Your own game, your own tactic and dont want the drama of having to interact with those meddling folk, simply choose not to join a neighbourhood and you dont have to. In the end its all up to your personal preference which you can always change. If in a while you deem your neighbourhood to be more a hinder than a blessing, leave in a orderly fashion and find another :).
Everyone likes to play their game in their own fashion and any advice granted is always a reflection of their past experience and/or habbits. Compromise or agree to disagree on the points you consider (un)valid and finally keep in mind the most important part: Its just a game, enjoy :D
Sorry you have had a bad experience so far. I know others have said it, but I will say it again. For the most part, people on this forum are friendly & helpful. I hope you stick around and have a better go at it! Feel free to add me and if the weird dots in my GC name give you trouble, just PM me with your GC :)
Sorry you had a bad beginning forum experience and hope it improves soon. I'd been playing months before I discovered the wealth of information and friendship here. I've had nothing but positive experiences. We farmers are pretty laid-back, helpful, and--for the most part--courteous and friendly. Feel free to friend me if you're looking for another neighbor. Welcome!
I am sorry you have been insulted. I think some people need to realize there are real people with real feelings on the other side of these posts. I don't think you should give up though. The majority of people here are quite nice, very helpful and love to share premiums and/or tools in the blink of an eye should you need something. :)
