    Well, since we are wanting to increase things, and I totally agree with Brookeham, I would like to see an increase in the amount of manure we can store from 550 to at least 950 or more!
    It is real hard during events that have high numbers of needed event crops and shorter time to get them grown, to have and store any manure! When you go to the market to buy some and it is 1,000cc's and over, or totally sold out it is not fun!:p So come on BP all you need to do is add it to the "Tree of Wisdom" Gobble up some of our stars and it could be done that easily!;)

    BP: Could you please have MM on a WEEKEND.....when you have it on weekdays most of us don't get to farm MM because of work. OR offer it for at least 48 hours. Thanks

    Thanks for the freebies from the winter calendar. Personally I preferred last year when the calendar was on the main field and flashed to let you know it hadn't been opened; it solves a lot of problems.

    Thank you for the gifts from the advent calendar! But it would have been better if a cloud row was awarded too so we could place the lovely items;)

    I really think BP needs to rethink how fast you can level up. I started this farm during the Spring into Fall event. I am now level 66.

    There is no way I could participate in this event because I don't have the stock in my barn after only a few months. To fulfill this event I would have had to grow animals or crops, but not both. Both were called for. I chose not to get the EP cheese, I didn't want to level up even more feeling like a newbie as it is. I feel like I am drowning in the back to back events and no way to compete with trophies that are low level. That is another thing, if I had donated to my animal trophy to make it higher, I would have not many animals. I have 500 SG and 900 SSG, mostly from the wheel and log-in bonuses. That is no way to come close to getting enough magnifying glasses to make more than 20 tools. I chose not to grow event crop for the same reason as not getting the cheese.

    Someone needs to listen to farmers and make events level dependent or something. Stop the high EP so I level up soooooo fast. I understand now why so many farmers get a little past breeding and give up. They are hoping to get somewhere in events and can't.

    That's my two cents and I'm sticking to it.

    Please take the craft stuff off the wheel. Or tone it down a bit, thanks.

    What are you thinking? Two events concurrently (thankfully only one with drop item and milling) followed by two events concurrently (both with drops)! Something has to give. No way can we benefit from the Frappe Ole AND Moonlight Shop Tycoon. :(

    Too much, way too much! -.-

    I have edited this as I see that there will be a change to the requirements and planting areas. :)

    I would have preferred the dates being changed but I am very happy that the events will not impact on each other as previously they would have done. :music:

    Thank you BP for listening and acting so promptly to feedback. I know I wasn't alone in being unhappy with the original event details and it is good that you are able to make changes at this late stage in preparations. ;)

    Now I just hope I have planted something good in the MM fields! :inlove:

    Well said Illy, Im glad I wasnt a lone voice. You have put it much better than I could ever.

    Im wondering if the other MM event will also take place as planned, its fine changing one event having understanding players frustrations but it also impacts on other planned event

    I have to admit that I never scrolled down enough to see the companion event. I'm still thinking it is too much going on - but I do love events so I will give it all a go ... and probably fail miserably! :p

    Please stop shoving so many events together!!!!!!

    Having to grow both the piñata event and the frappe event on the same fields, and then having the Moonlight event happing on the later half of the Frappe event makes things just too exhausting & frustrating.

    I've only just finished growing my first pipe crop for Frappe and I am giving up on it after seeing I need to also spend time juggling things for another concurrent event. Having to constantly juggle schedules, not having any space to grow my regular crops, and using up all my carrot apple chutney & specialty items is not what I consider fun.

    Space the events out slightly! Let us have a little time to recover our farms and do an occasional quest. If I wanted a manic experience I would be playing a first person shooter.

    Add me to those expressing a wish to PLEASE STOP COMINGLING EVENTS! it is stressful and not fun and exhausting. I have played this game for seven of its eight years. I love it. I might even say that I am a little addicted to it- but this new trend of overlapping events is really affecting my enjoyment. I like events, I enjoy challenges, but first it started with back to back events with no time in between, and now, the overlapping of events, and not just having two different things going on, like a breeding event during a grow and throw, but TWO EVENTS that both require the same fields, and now, a main farm event and MM at the same time, AND a special MM event AND a MM companion event that requires DIFFERENT crops than the MM event crops... it's too much!

    Add me to the list of unhappy farmers - give us a break and let us farm. What's the point of introducing new quests if we won't have time or space to complete them. Yes, I am aware I could choose not to do the events, but for the most part I enjoy them.

    Have played this game since 2010 and now I am off to find a new game The game has been made stressful
    By the amount of events which is far too many .... we are playing an event and we get more events to play at the same time ... which is happening now as I write this thread
    When we are playing the game I like to get away from my computer and breath fresh air ...which with the EVENTS we are having at the moment ...this isn't possible ... I have a life beyond farmerama...have neighbours leaving my farm and a person in the red People aren't going to stand for any of this.. So you will lose a lot of players if you don't do something about it ...Because I can see a mass walk out of players
    Farmerma has never ever been like this before ...It has been the best Browser game on the net ...But at the moment it certainly isn't
    You NEED TO WAKE UP BEFORE YOU LOSE ALL OF YOUR PLAYERS >>>you think I am joking ...think again
    LOOK at all the posts of Unhappy Players ...that's sad ..Have never ever seen people so unhappy in all the time I have been playing ...you have taken the fun away from us and given us stress ...We all Love the events ...back to back to back to back is RIDICULOUS
    Not making enough money? ...you will make even less when people start leaving ...which is possible the way people are feeling

    I have been playing about a year, at first as I could only do a bit of an event because of my farm size and level it wasnt a problem.
    But now as Ive leveled up and able to grow more items I can complete events. I use to be able to complete a couple of FSQs in a couple of weeks but cant remember last time I have looked at them with the constant overlaping events. This current MM events are a total joke how can someone attempt 2 events at the same time using just over 1 field, also trying to grow normal MM crops to build up my barn is impossible unless I dont do events.
    I know some and BP will say its up the player if they want to do events but when they are pushed down our throats all the time you focus on them. We have 3 events going on at same time requiring 2 drops which are also donatable , as we have asked previously we should be able to send both to each neighbour.
    To me over the year I have seen this game turn into a money making exercise for the developers, each event carries baskets which have become more and more and the mini events are money making.
    I know other players will disagree, that is our choice and this is my personal view which I see and read more people are agreeing with.

    Just wanted to add my 2 cents as well. I have been playing Farmerama for a long time - almost from the beginning but lately it is becoming a chore. I love the events and have always looked forward to them. Between events I would restock my crops & animals & work on quests. Lately there is no time to do anything. We keep getting more & more quests & then events on top of events. Not only one after another but 2 at a time and now 3 all at once with no breathing space in between. I know that I could skip an event but that has always been the greatest appeal of Farmerama - to challenge myself to complete the events. Setting up my fields ahead of time planning everything out was fun.
    There is so much going on lately that twice I have not even seen the notice that an event was starting. Farmerama is fast becoming not a fun game that I love to do but a chore. Please slow down the events a bit with some breathing space in between & don't keep piling them on top of each other!

    I don't like skipping events either but considering all the recent barn emptying events I am skipping Frappe Ole for the most part. I will just plant event crops with whatever space available to obtain what coins I can but I will not put any real effort into completing it.

    Too many events....... I've almost reached the point where I do not want to participate in events any more. I have become more picky now as to what events I do and will only do what I can to achieve a particular reward or rewards, with no concern if I finish the event or not. The cloud rows are beginning to lose their appeal as the crates o' crap usually only provide the same repetitive basic items (1 farm coin, 1 fish, 1 peppermint, etc...with an upgrade on the very, very rare occasions). Even MM is now overwhelming, I preferred it when it was simple with one field and monthly FSQs and Jack's shop goals.

    I liked this game in the beginning because of the wonderful graphics, goal setting and its relaxing play. For me it is a vibrant and fun virtual little world to escape reality for a while. Adding to this, I do appreciate all the graphics done by the designers and the help received from the mods.

    With the onset of countless long grow & throw events, lack lustre rewards, crates o' crap and event stacking is pushing me to just go back to the basics of growing my little farm and work on completing the FSQs and the occasional event (if the rewards are worth it) - no stress, no time limits and minimal use of resources. Events would be much better if we could just grow and donate our produce - left overs are kept in our barns and used at later dates, instead of the continual grow and throws.

    >:(:mad:>:(:mad: Way too many events, and these next 2 overlapping/simultaneous events starting tomorrow using the same 3 fields (Mainland fields only!) and requiring the same exact event crops in ridiculous amounts is just flat out ridiculous on your part. What are you thinking?
    Listen to your farmers BP before we all close up shop and quit.-.-

    PeepsCA. Its the same crop for both events and both not realiant on each other. Drops are across both lands so thats a bonus. Ok would of been nice to have crop grown on both lands but I think we will be fine (hopefully) with crops and drops???!!!!!
    A weekk is a long time in the farming world. last week it was me furious with BP and events with you been the calming influence.
    Although I have one main gripe yet again. 2 drops which are gifts and can only give one at a time to neighbours. Come on BP sort that out
    Oh dear sorry my mistake, only one donatable gift not 2 as I thought. with all these events you get used to drops been given as gifts;):p
