I've been getting these notifications lately and have about 10 of these. I understand it's Facebook related but I don't have a Facebook account. What exactly is it? Just a tally of people who likes my farm? Can I see their names? Do I have access to their farms? I'm very tempted to open a dummy account just to see but want to avoid Facebook at all costs.
Crickets...
Does anyone have any insight to this? Any response would be appreciated.
I haven't been having the exact same issue, but I noticed that sometimes when I like a farm, it posts it on my facebook page. I was under the impression that this app did not post to facebook without prior approval. I have been playing with settings to keep it from doing this.Quote:

I'm curious to know who these people who liked my farm are and would like to visit them if there is an option. I would need to create a Facebook account to do so and was wondering if it's worth all the trouble.
Same here. I can't like another's farm without FB either. I can understand the diamond reward as an incentive for connecting but don't see why likes are restricted to FB only.Quote:

If we are not able to like the farms of people with Facebook, how are they able to like ours? And I agree...it would be nice to know who it was that liked my farm. I don't decorate or try to make it fancy...(I admire it on others' farms, just like mine natural). The only thing i do is play hide-and seek with my gnomes. I hide them all over my farm and hope that i might have one friend or follower that thinks it's fun to try and find them. But I can't imagine what that person would have liked about it.
Very sweet though. :D
For once, I think I may have the answer for your question :).
I have a facebook account. When you connect the gem to your facebook account, you are asked how Hay Day will post on your behalf something like "<Your facebook name> likes <someone>'s farm on Hay Day". Some words in this are indeed link to the itunes page of Hay Day application. So that when someone click on this link, they will be redirected to Hay Day iTunes page (the quick view of application in iTunes, it will ask you to launch iTunes to download the application).
To sum up :
- when you like someone farm, it's like you post on facebook "hey look, I'm playing an awesome game, come join me" with a link to the game
- you don't have access to any farm
- you don't know who has liked your farm
- you can't not unlike a farm (it will say : "farm already liked" that means "you cannot like again")
I don't think the fact that you do not have a facebook account matters, because the message is not posted on YOUR facebook. I guess Hay Day can detect right away that your farm get a "Like" and send you notification, that can be a way to push you register on facebook/ encourage you to take care of your farm frequently/satisfy your ego/....
I hope this is quite clear for you.
thank you, it's absolutely clear :).Quote:

It's the world in which we live...everything is interconnected nowadays. At least we're able to play this game without having to connect to Facebook. I've downloaded games which required me to log onto Facebook before I can start playing...really? Believe or not, not everyone has a Facebook account...Mr. Developer :rolleyes:. I rather have an in-game message board...but that's another story.Quote:

Hahaha...do you play CoC? Heehee
In my mind they were all having a party...but your idea is fun too! I would just lose it if i came across a farm with an army of gnomes guarding anything! Haha
lol no CoC, it's Hay Day, all day, every day for me :cool:Quote:
