FarmVille Status: 
Thursday, 6/3/10
Current Issues:
- Many users are experiencing issues with the first free Biplane flight. It may not be working as a real free flight for everyone at this time.
Saturday, 5/29/10
Current Issues:
- FarmVille is not loading at all for many people since the Tuscan Wedding began. The Wedding Celebration has been stopped for now, and FarmVille disabled withering, puppy hunger, and the double mastery event. - resolved
- Many pages are only loading the cow with “Oh no! It looks like all the bits got lost on the way to your computer. Please refresh your page.” – resolved
Tuesday, 5/11/10
Current Issues:
- Flower Ponds have gone missing! FarmVille has this written above the game: “9:48PM PDT: To those missing flower ponds, they will be back on your farm shortly.” – resolved
Minor Updates:
- Long Log, Cone Topiary, and Flax Leaves were removed from the gifting page. Hanging Tomato, Durian Tree, Starfruit Tree, and Apricot Tree were added to the FarmVille.com exclusive gifting items.
Wednesday, 5/5/10
Current Issues:
- Gifting is not working. When attempting to send a gift, the page just stays the same and does not redirect to anything. It seems this is happening with many games on Facebook, and is probably a Facebook issue. – resolved, 5/6/10
Thursday, 4/29/10
Minor Updates:
- Collectible posts give everyone the same Collectible.
- Llamas take 1 spot and now take up less room.
- Collecting eggs from the feed does not let you preview the item and decide any more – you must click Yes or No and then see what you get.
Current Issues:
- When accepting Gifts from your Requests page (not items from the feed, but gifts), clicking “Yes” will take you to the farm instead of back to the Confirm Requests page. *Try clicking Back, or bookmark the Requests page and just click on it from the bookmarks instead of clicking Yes or No*
- If you have a Jackrabbit, it has turned into a Short Cactus! This is a glitch that FarmVille will most likely fix soon! – resolved, 4/30/10? People report receiving a new Jackrabbit in their Gift Box and the Short Cactus staying on the farm.
- Putting items from your Gift Box into the Botanical Garden does not make the Gift Box automatically pop up again (it used to when adding Spring Eggs to the Basket, or Building Supplies to the Nursery before, as examples) – resolved, 4/30/10
Monday, 4/19/10
Current Issues:
- Sending gifts and requesting eggs is broken (“Please select some friends first.” after you have already selected friends). – resolved
Tuesday, 3/30/10
Current Issues:
- Accepting rewards and items off of the Facebook feed are not working at all times for most people. They generally allude to the fact that you can’t collect your own reward, even if it is from someone else. – resolved
Sunday, 3/28/10
Minor Updates:
- For a couple weeks now, animals no longer move about the farm randomly. It is believed that Zynga has disabled this because of lag issues, and there is no news on when they will start moving again.
Tuesday, 3/23/10
Minor Updates:
- FarmVille free gifts now show the date that they will expire (2 weeks from being sent to you)
Monday, 3/22/10

Tuesday, 3/2/10

Sunday, 2/28/10
Current Issues:
- For about a week now, blue ribbons have been unshare-able. The Share button does not actually click, and therefore the popup to share doesn’t come up. – resolved, Thurs. 3/4/10

- Accepting gifts is not working; they just take you to your farm – resolved, Mon. & Tues. 3/1/10

Sunday, 2/21/10
Minor Updates:
- When you harvest from a Moose now, the dialog says “Brush the Moose, eh?” instead of “Brush Moose hair.”
Friday, 2/19/10
Current Issues:
- FarmVille is experiencing load issues, especially for those who received multiple chicken coops (see issue below) and tried to place another one. – resolved
- With the update including Chicken Coop expansions, some players are receiving chicken coops out of eggs even if they already have one. When they try to place it, it gives them an Out of Sync Error. – resolved Friday, 2/19/10
Friday, 2/12/10
Minor Updates:
- Some users received one free Mystery Gift (via the notifications)
Wednesday, 2/10/10
Current Issues:
- FarmVille pages on Facebook are darkened to a gray or black tint, and the page is extended so the scroll bars are extended as well, with nothing else on the page. Clicking anywhere makes the page refresh, so FarmVille is not playable! This is on-and-off, and sometimes the page will load properly for some people. This seems to be an issue with Facebook, as people playing other games are experiencing the same thing. You can go to FarmVille.com to continue playing. – resolved half an hour later (9:25pm-ish)
Tuesday, 2/9/10
Current Issues:
- With the new Facebook layout, feeds are not updating properly (and there is no longer a FarmVille Only feed). This is a Facebook issue. – resolved Wednesday, 2/10/10?
Minor Updates:
- You can now post to your wall when you surpass a friend in the Valentines rankings, and your friends will be able to get a bonus from that post.
- Referee Cows can now be placed in barns (it is unknown if they will produce a referee calf at this point in time).
- You can’t send gifts without being neighbors with the receiver (so posting your gifting link in discussion boards and various places will not work unless you add the people first). – changed back (all links work again) Friday, 2/12/10
- The Soda Hat Horse (Spectator Horse) can be put into the Horse Stable.
- The Hot Rod Tractor (Mafia Wars) Promotion will continue through February 16th at 11:59pm PST.
- They updated the “Send Love” page to show images of the five rewards you can choose from.
- Multiple Chicken Coops will be removed. The chickens from those coops will be placed in your giftbox, which will be expanded to include them if it makes it more than 30 items. See the Forum Announcement here.
- Large Woodpile is no longer giftable and can now be bought in the Market for 1,500 coins.
- The description for bulls when they are available to be “harvested” is now “Calm Bull” instead of “Brush Bull”
Monday, 2/8/10
Minor Updates:
- The Waterfall and Water Mill animations and styling has been changed slightly. The Waterfall actually is animated to show water falling, and the Water Mill’s wheel has been changed to be brown.
Thursday, 2/4/10
Minor Updates:
- Horses put in the horse stable are harvestable in 1 day, instead of the 3 that a horse normally takes!
Tuesday, 1/26/10
Current Issues:
- The links for signing up for emails to get the Carrier Pigeon is not working. – resolved
- Some people who are fans are not able to purchase the Super Pumpkins. It appears as locked to them. – resolved
Minor Updates:
- Tall Grass was removed from being gift-able and placed in the market for 1500 coins.
- When you are asked to publish something to your feed, there is now an option to select it to show or hide from certain people. Click on the lock to change these options. Your non-FarmVille playing friends can rejoice! (If you decide to hide FarmVille from them…
). This was an update from Facebook. - It looks like Chicken Coops are now only producing one egg a day no matter how many times you harvest (via the popular coop stuffing method).
Monday, 1/25/10
Minor Updates:
- For a couple days, there have been reports that chicken coops are not producing eggs at the rate that they used to. It seems that it is harder to get mystery eggs now.
Friday, 1/22/10
Current Issues:
- Some people are having connectivity issues with FarmVille – they are seeing the page with the Cow and the message ““Oh no! It looks like all the bits got lost on the way to your computer. Please refresh your page.” – resolved Friday, 1/22/10
Thursday, 1/21/10
Current Issues:
- Some users, even though they are a fan, can not buy the upgrade expansion to 24×24. FarmVille is aware of the issue and is working on it. – resolved
- Some users are locked out of accessing their farm by a constant “Out of Sync” error.
Minor Updates:
- Facebook made a change to the way applications can contact you. They now must ask permission to send you emails for notifications. You will still be able to receive bonuses and such from neighbors if you click no. This is only for the notifications that would normally appear in the lower right corner of Facebook.
- Some are reporting the very limited release of a “To-Do List.” More on this to come.
- In the past, bonuses and collectibles posted on a person’s wall were share-able (by giving someone the URL to the reward). FarmVille has fixed this due to a surge of “unlimited links” – which allowed people to recieve a bonus or reward over and over.
Tuesday, 1/19/10
Current Issues:
- After tonight’s update, the limited time Haiti white corn is not available to plant. When this has happened in the past, they have brought it back soon for those that bought it to continue planting it for their full week. – resolved
Minor Updates:
- Fuel is available in eggs again.
- The Hot Rod Tractor has been released to some more FarmVille players, but not to everybody just yet.
- Collections now has a popup that explains it a bit further, and when you mouse-over the names of the items, it gives you a hint as to where you can find them.
Friday, 1/15/10
Current Issues:
- When you receive an uncommon or rare item for the new collectibles, there is no popup to notify you at the bottom of the game. – resolved, Tuesday 1/19/10
Minor Updates:
- The price of any color of tractor has been reduced from 30,000 coins to 5,000 coins.
Wednesday, 1/13/10
Minor Updates:
- “Users can now fertilize 50 of their Neighbors Farms. Once you have Fertilized 50 Farms, you will receive a message in the upper left-hand corner stating: “Out of Fertilizer”. This is an intended change to FarmVille. Once you have run out, more fertilizer will be available to you in 24 hours.”
Saturday, 1/9/10
Current Issues:
- Gifting a Free Gift in return (a Thank You Gift – by clicking on the link that appears in the page when you accept a gift) does not work. The gift will send, but when the recipient goes to accept it, it will not show up in their gift box. – resolved Friday, 1/15/10
- For some people, there is a glitch regarding Chicken Coops, Dairies and Garden Sheds. Some people have MORE of these pictured in the storage expansion page/pop-up than they actually have. When this is the case, even if the building isn’t ready to harvest, there will eventually be the pink “ready to harvest” arrow over it. They can then click on the arrow, select ‘Move’ and it will duplicate it multiple times. – resolved
Minor Updates:
- There is a limit on the amount of neighbors’ farms you can fertilize and chicken coops – it is now 20 neighbors. As of now, this has been changed code-wise but may or may not be permanent. – changed Wed. 1/13/10
- Fenced In ribbon now counts the fences that have already been placed on your farm towards the final count
- For Free Fuel Week, the icons for sharing free fuel and gifting free fuel were changed
- Animals now walk around on farms where they used to stand still at all times! To get them to not wander, click on them and choose “Stay.”
- After the recent Friday update, some users could choose to let FarmVille automatically post everything to their feed
