Crazy weather event

What about a "weather fiasco" or some such event... Global climate change (or El Nino, similar temporary well known event) has hit Farmerama. Snow on Baha, desert on the meadow... what will the animals (and plants?) do? They have to move to find a better place to be!

Another story option might be that some eco-terrorist or big farm manipulator (even an alien???) has come to wreak havoc (has a machine that went out of control maybe?)

NOTE... crop/animal ideas need some more thinking, but I wanted to get the basic idea down before getting too involved with this. Do people even like this idea?

This event would be best for higher level players, because lower level players probably won't have all the animals. Or, levels could just be scaled so that lower level players can do some of the event, just not all of it.
The basic idea is that each area will only be able to grow certain animals/trees/crops. To activate event, there would be a mechanism similar to the old Moonlight, where you have to hit on the event icon to go to the new area. That way anyone not wanting (or able) to participate will be able to go on as usual. There could be separate areas all working simultaneously, or each area might activate in succession. (finish one, then the new field can appear after reloading -- maybe a new icon or perhaps just he old one reloaded) To keep with theme, each area would have its own crazy climate. To be fun, they should be a tad crazy. Snow/mountain might go on the main Baha field -- eagles, bears, wolves (etc), with crops like rye, pine, maple might go there. The green meadow might be desert, with (event crop) cactus and maybe aloe. Camels, mice, donkeys might go there. Magic Glade might become a forest, housing squirrels, monkeys, chameleons. Crops could be acorns, hazelnuts, pistachio, etc.

Because this involves a lot of relocation of pens, trees, etc., a full function harvester coupon (or at least the builder option) would be offered as one of the first prizes, (along with a harvester subscription sale) if not offered just as a bonus (this might increase sales as more people get a chance to see how they work).

The event would have different levels/steps. For each level, there would be a portion requiring rare items that are not timed and a portion requiring regular items that are timed. This would allow those without the pens to buy the animals, prices will no doubt be high, but it would be an option. Also, with all the gift and trade, I think most higher level players have most, if not all of the pens, all but the very newest at any rate). A reward for each step might include the various mystery pen/tree offerings (perhaps) or just a representative rare pen/tree.

 

Wowsers Woody...you have a very active imagination....me likes it Would be nice to have challenging events with some super duper rewards to work for or cheer on those who can do the event....Love your idea
