Best and Worst Changes

We have just celebrated 5 years of Farmerama.
It would be interesting to see what were the Best changes made and the Worst.


The Best change for me was when the introduced the little flag showing things were ready.
I remember hovering over every ornament in the park to see if it could be harvested (in the days before I had Harvester etc)

The Worst change was to the lovely tree and flowers we used to have. And is it my imagination, or is Baha not as colourful as it used to be?

 

The best change for me would be the Builder. I love, love that function, don't know how I lived without it. Well yes I survived..but my fields stayed exactly the same for a couple of years.

The worst? Probably the loss of the CAC/PJ combo, and the loss of some great farmers. chayy being one, o' I miss that girl and her excellent strategies, but also many other fantastic people that used to hang out here.

 

I haven't been playing since the beginning but how I miss the monkeys milling on Baha.
And at the moment I am in love with the greenhouse and the refinement system.

 

I agree about the builder, that was a brilliant new feature! Worst for me personally might be Baha temple and the unlocks, although it's slowly growing on me. I hate all the extra clicking to go there though (that'll never change). It gets old real fast when you're in a hurry or on a day when you harvest many times over there.

 

I miss the previous Paint Factory - like a champagne fountain....
And the breeding graphics now are like pre-skool stuff....

 

The old paint factories were so pretty. I hate that they moved the farmhouse orders from the farmhouse to the farmers society - makes no sense and too much clicking now. I do like speed watering though.

 

Great idea for a thread farmerumf!!!
Big ditto of what hatzeva said!!!!
Big Bad idea was illimination of CAC PJ combo!!!....however, the amounts were lowered for events...which made it less boring!
Best was/is the builder....I absolutely would not play without it now!!!

 

I agree with all the above. Unfortunately I only heard about the CAC/PJ combo. Before I could afford to buy both, it had been changed. It would be so nice when growing the longer crops to get extra.
I too love the builder but wish it would be a bit more logical when it puts out pens. I do want mine in nice straight rows!

I do notice that after all our grumblings when things change, that we all settle down eventually!

 

I have to agree, I miss the old Paint factory....just was so pretty.And I don't like that they moved the FHO's, I still go to the farmhouse from time to time. I guess old habits are hard to break
The builder was in game when I started but I couldn't imagine working without it. It's a must have for me

 

For me, one of the best changes was when we didn't lose our animals and trees when we deleted them. We weren't able to move things about much in the good old days. We only had one field but we still needed to make room to change our animals - but we thought long and hard before we did!

One of the worst changes was losing the little plane that used to take us to the island and, of course, the little red truck that took us to the City!

I spent ages trying to think of one for each category then had a list but now I have forgotten the rest!

 

Oh, how I miss that little Red Truck! Please also remind me of the name of that little fellow who used to wander back and forward along the bottom of the screen and get in the way.

 

I have only heard about him, but could it be Sid?

 

yes it was Sid the sloth, here is something you might like

​

 

Thanks Neon-Lights - he always seemed to sit down just as I got near him - that was in the days when I hand-harvested!

 

I miss the colours and textures they used to have on the fields when they were planted with seeds, when I first started five years ago, I used to make patterns with the fields of seeds just to see how they looked. I also miss the flowers, and even the scary zombie rabbits, with the weird goggle eyes that looked straight out of some horror movie. I don't miss having to dig up my fields after a random storm and losing crops, and I don't miss finding parts of my meadow suddenly turned to weeds because one of my neighbours disappeared.

I'm not sure I miss the old Baha market with its separate currency of 10 (can't remember what it was called) = 1cc, which always, always confused newbies, since not only did it need converting; you paid from your main farm, but sales were paid to your baha account.

I miss the Mods who are now gone and some of the forums' posters; not to disparage the ones whom we have now, but compared to the first couple of years the forums are like a deserted market place where once it was bustling and chatty.

I've been around almost from the game's inception and seen it evolve and after five years, I'm still very fond of my little farm - which is almost like a second home to me.

Therefore, here's a toast to all those who have gone, they are remembered fondly; and to the Farm as it was and as it is, even with some of the changes where your first reaction is a horrified 'WHY'.

 

One fantastic change is how you cannot over 'donate' to FSQuests and challenges....
' Back in the Daaaay' I made a terrible mental calculation and gave 4000 of something when 45 or so would have done and "Poof!!" - gone!

But no more are we punished for bad maths.....

 

Hi !

I totally agree with all the above. All the best changes that are have been pointed above are very true.

What I feel as the latest worst change is the stars. I keep on getting a feeling that in near future there might be a change which will require lots of stars from us.

Other worst change is that in the previous forum there was a icon to show that you have posted in the particular thread and it was easy to keep a watch on the threads.

I forgot the look of old Baharama. Can anyone post a picture of the same.

I too feel sad about losing old players like Chayy. It gives me a feeling of parting from a family member. Eventhough I have no personal touch with them, I go through their posts and know them from their threads and posts. I would like to know if a certain player "landgirl...." who was playing with me 5 years back still plays. She was very active in the forum then. I used to see her post and know her.

I did not know this game well then. So I was very hesitant about giving neighbour request and joining the forum. It was because many online games were not well organised and the communication between the players were not monitored. That's why I started the account by giving 12ss12 as my user name, since I didn't have great opinion about this game, then. I thought I will get bored by the game and stop playing it within few weeks. It is changed now. I found out that farmerama was different and respects our privacy at same time gives us space in the forum to interact with other players. I really love this game and co-players now. I am happy.

 

12ss12 What a lovely post. Im sure those past players would be happy to know you felt this way about their departure. You do make the forum and farmarama sound like a place Im glad I found. I hope you continue to grow here with your friendships (and farming).

 

One of the best changes was the expansion for the final 'zone' on the island. When the new Baharama was introduced, we were given the opportunity to earn more land. It has been essential...

I also like Shipwreck Bay for extra EP givers and the introduction of BEP givers. There are some events that have been worth doing just for the EP givers and if they were sent to inventory to collect dust due to no space in the park, there would have been quite a few events I would have skipped.

I am not sure yet what I think is the worst change.

 

Thank you farmerlily22.
