New FarmVille Puppy: St. Bernard

Continuing with Swiss theme, FarmVille has released a new puppy this evening- the St. Bernard. You can pick the St. Bernard's barrel color- brown, blue, or pink. The new puppy will cost 65 FV$ and come with 2 weeks worth of kibble.

    The St. Bernard Dog is a very large breed of dog, a working dog from the Swiss Alps, originally bred for rescue. The breed has become famous through tales of alpine rescues, as well as for its large size. (source: wikipedia)

FarmVille Unreleased Flora Fountain, Welcome Signs, Bush Topiary & White Cocketiel

Thank you to FarmVille Freak Teresa for finding these unreleased Bush Topiary v2, Flora Fountain, Log Welcome Sign, Welcome Sign Fence, & White Cocketiel items!
It looks like a few of these items would fit nicely into the Wild West theme, like the "Welcome Sign" for example. It's about time we have a Welcome Sign for our farm.

Note: Unreleased items have no official release date or guarantee that they will make it to the FarmVille Market and are subject to change without notice at the discretion of Zynga.

FarmVille Birthday Bash: Lana turns two in the Philippines

Looks like her parents went all out to celebrate their daughter Lana's second birthday with a FarmVille themed party. Check out the video below to see for yourself. Note, the video is long at almost 10 minutes, but watching even the first few seconds is worth it or feel free to skip through.

This video was submitted by FarmVille Freak Son, thanks for the great find.

    "I love your site! For some reason I was thinking of having a Farmvillle theme birthday party thrown for my FV Freak, Sister's Sweet16, and I came across your site and I must say there's a lot of FV freaks out there. Anyway, I also came across this Farmville theme party on You Tube which gave me some good ideas on what I'll have done for the party..( the invites, gift bags, back drop, background music, attire) Just in case you haven't seen it here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5JnwgbqYfY I must say they've truly spent a lot of money for that one of a kind Farmville Theme party and I love it. Someone who came up with the idea must be truly a FV freak! lol

    More power to your site!!!

    - FarmVille Freak Son =)"

Lana turns 2! and there's no better way to celebrate it but to do it at her farm in Farmville Manila, Philippines. Event was made possible by the help of her neighbors from Weddingavenueph.com.

FarmVille Farm of the Week: Mark's Piggery Farm

In honor of this week's FarmVille release of Pigpens, we have selected a farm befitting the occasion. Even though our Pigs now have homes, there is no way one Pigpen would house this swine loving FarmVille Freak's Pig collection.

FarmVille Freak Mark Moises Roja's farm or "Piggery" is filled entirely with Pigs! Every inch, except for a small spot in the center that is reserved for a favorite building, is occupied by Pigs. While it is by no means a working farm (even though Pigs yield coins when harvested) we can all appreciate its uniqueness. It's not everyday you see a Piggery farm.

Mark also mentions the shrinking Pig epidemic that many other FarmVille Freaks have reported. Earlier this week, regular Pigs appear to be smaller than before, although Zynga has made no mention of it. Says FarmVille Freak Mark,


    "Hello sirs,
    I didn't know that there is a Farmville Freak Farm of the Week Contest, had I known about it, I would've submitted an entry as early as April... :)

    Anyways, I would like to send my "farm" that doesn't really have a farm but a Piggery... it's my idea of fun. I guess it's timely that I submit my farm as an entry since it's just now that Zynga is giving some love that my beloved pigs deserves... BTW I am Mark Moises Roja from Manila, Philippines. I am 31 years old and have been an avid farmer since January this year... :) Thank you very much

    Sincerely,
    FarmVille Freak Mark Moises Roja

    PS: Just today, I noticed that the normal Pigs got smaller (the Ossabaws and Black Pigs remained as is). My Pigs used to encompass all of my farm, but when I opened it today, I was surprised to see that there is some gap between them that didn't exist before."


Is your farm crave-worthy or unique? Send pics of your farm to libe@games.com and we may feature it. If you have any other FarmVille inspired art, videos, music, cakes, or creations and would like to share, send them too!

Farmville Haunted House: Build it for Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner, and it looks like FarmVille already has big plans to celebrate! Good news is that from the looks of the images below they are planning a buildable Haunted House that looks "pretty dope" as described by FarmVille player Kayyy. We wonder if this is the exact same (farm cash) Haunted House with animation that was featured last Halloween in 2009? View that Haunted House (post dated October 16, 2009) by clicking here. It looks very similar, with some noticeable differences though.

What do you think?

New FarmVille, FrontierVille & Cafe World Cross-Promotion

UPDATE: See our FarmVille Guide on how to complete the FrontierVille's FarmVille Quest I and how to claim your FarmVille Mule.

If you've been farming tonight, you may have noticed the in-game pop-ups below. Starting tonight, there has been frequent advertising for two new Zynga games and FarmVille cross-promotions with FrontierVille and Cafe World.
farmville cafe world free cafe cash cross promotion
From time to time, Zynga likes to offer cross-promotions for their games by rewarding players with special items and perks for playing multiple games. They like to make sure that us FarmVille Freaks haven't forgotten about their other games by giving us a push towards life outside of farming. This time around, playing FrontierVille and completing the FarmVille quest can unlock a special Mule for you to use in FarmVille, while playing Cafe World could potentially earn you 50 free cafe cash (for FarmVille players to use in Cafe World).

Q: Is the Mule for FarmVille or FrontierVille?

A: The Mule is for you to use in FarmVille. Though you must complete the quest in FrontierVille to claim your Mule reward.

This article originally appeared on FarmVille Freak.

Will you participate in these Zynga games and FarmVille cross-promotion or is it just another gimmick to get you to play?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Skunk & Chicken Turkey

It's time for yet another FarmVille sneak peek, brought to you by the release of as-of-yet unreleased items in Zynga's massive farming game. This time around, we have images of some new animals that may or may not be coming to FarmVille in the future.

The first is the Skunk, which we actually feel comfortably saying is extremely adorable (as it's virtual and all). The other animal is one that we're most certain will actually be released in the game, as it would fit in perfectly with the upcoming Thanksgiving celebration in the game.

It is the Chicken Turkey, and while that may not be the final name of the item, it does get the point across, as it's a Turkey that has dressed itself up partially as a Chicken, most likely to avoid getting placed onto someone's dinner table this Thanksgiving! Poor little fella!

As with all unreleased items, there is no guarantee that either of these animals will actually make it into the game, so keep that in mind.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Candy Cane Crop

Similar to the release of Candy Corn back during the Halloween celebration in FarmVille, it appears that Zynga will be honoring another candy tradition in the form of Candy Canes this Christmas.

We've seen images of the new Candy Cane crop, including its Mastery Stall, Market Bushel, and Mastery Sign, all of which you can see above.

It's interesting that we see a Market Bushel image being created for the Candy Canes, as limited edition crops rarely produce bushels, so it seems a bit unneeded. Could this be a hint that things are going to change in this area? Only time will tell, but this certainly would help those users that want to earn the Mastery Sign associated with the crop, as we would be able to do so twice as fast.

As usual, there is no guarantee that that the Candy Cane Crop will actually be released in the game (although it is incredibly likely that it will), so keep that in mind.

PSA: FarmVille is addicting and will damage your brain [video]

In this video an endearing little boy attempts to explain (rather comically) why FarmVille is addictive. You heard right, this kid believes that Zynga is evil and that FarmVille is addictive because it has 65 million active users. He also mentions that the only thing you can do in the game is raise animals, so it's clear he hasn't played the game too much. He recommends that anyone who supports his cause contact "1-800-Let's stop 65 million people from getting brain damaged by playing FarmVille".

It's all in good fun, of course, but many social game players get annoyed when the media and their friends are constantly accusing them of being addicted. Can't we just play these games because they're a fun way to pass the time? Not everyone is addicted just because they enjoy playing.

FarmVille thong: The holiday gift that keeps on giving

Today, I was on the hunt for a few cool FarmVille-themed holiday gifts for my virtual farming obsessed friends and ran across this thong.

OK, so it's not an official FarmVille branded thing, but this cotton panty with red barn and silo imprinted on the front is the perfect silly gift for a friend who's obsessed enough with their virtual crops that they'd actually consider wearing farm-themed underwear.

The FarmVille thong is available on CafePress for $13 in size small, medium or large. Not sure if I can really vouch for the fact that these are 'Made in the USA,' but if you're one of those people who avoid buying things that may or may not be made places with lax child labor laws, well, there you go.

FarmVille: Free Gifts page updated with six new Holiday items, including trees

If you're in the giving mood this holiday season, why not send your FarmVille neighbors some interesting new themed items from the game's free gifts page? There are six holiday items now available to send, with four of them being new to the game, and two being a return from last year's Holiday celebration.

One of the returning items is the Snowflake Pole, and it is the only item of the six that is available to send through traditional means, meaning that you can stay right on Facebook and send it to your friends. The other item, the Giant Lollipop I, is a FarmVille.com exclusive, meaning that you'll have to head over to FarmVille.com and gift them to your Facebook friends from there (the process is the exact same, but you'll just need to be on FarmVille.com to do it).

As for the other, new items, there is a Gold Nutcracker (a redesigned version from last year's Gold Nutcracker, so it technically is a new item), a Red Hanging Bell, and a Holiday Tree that all must also be sent from FarmVille.com, and a White Xmas Tree that is only available to send from the FarmVille app on iPhone/iPad.

The Holiday Tree is especially interesting as it is a real, growing tree, that grows silver and gold ornaments and garland, can be harvested, and can presumably be mastered (as we saw with the then unreleased Mastery Sign in a recent FarmVille Sneak Peek). You'll only be able to send the tree to your friends by logging into FarmVille on your iPhone/iPad and heading to the free gifts menu within the app.

Keep in mind though, that no matter where you are sending your gifts from, you'll still only be able to send one gift to a particular friend everyday, so plan your gifting ahead of time if you want to outfit your friends with all of these items before they're gone.

FarmVille Balloon Crop now in store, but unavailable to grow [UPDATE: Now available]

UPDATE: The Balloons Crop has been officially "released" as part of the New Year's Ball Drop / Party Barn event. You'll need to unlock access to planting the crop after having 10 of your friends accept your invitation to your party. Find out all of the details about this new event by clicking on this link.

If you've been looking forward to planting some of the cheerful and colorful Balloon crop seeds in FarmVille as much as we have, you'll be happy to hear that the Balloon Crop has now been spotted in the wild, via an in-game store listing that is now available for players to look at. However, that's all you can do with the crop at the moment, as it is "Locked."

The reasoning for the locked status is that a "License is needed." We'll be sure to let you know how to obtain said license as soon as we can, but in the meantime, let's take a look at the announced stats for this new crop. First, it's cheap, available to grow for just 15 coins per square. It grows for 16 hours, and you'll be able to harvest each square of ready balloons for a return of 126 coins per square.

This looks to be a fairly good crop for lower level players to jump into planting, not only due to its low price, but due to the fact that you'll gain 2 experience points for each and every square of the Balloons that you plant, which might allow some players to level up before all is said and done. Finally, the Balloons Crop can be mastered, with the first star or mastery coming after harvesting just 80 balloons.

When will the Balloons Crop be available to grow? That much is still up in the air, but we'll be sure to let you know when it unlocks, or what you'll need to do in order to unlock it, as more information becomes available.

FarmVille Party Barn / New Year's Ball Drop Event: Everything you need to know

We've known about the upcoming New Year's Party in FarmVille for a few weeks now, but users everywhere have now started to see the New Year's Ball event kick off in the game, with the launch of the Party Barn in the store. While some users have been given the base of the Party Barn for free, others (even after refreshing) have had to resort to purchasing the base for 5,000 coins. Regardless of how you get it onto your farm, it can be upgraded with ingredients to turn into something truly spectacular.

This is another collection event, that is sure to end the year on a high-note with users, thanks to the prizes available via this event, and we have all of the information you need about this year-ending party behind the break.
First things first, if you're like me, and have an overwhelming number of Winter Holiday decorations flooding your farm, leaving you with little free space, you'll need to do some serious reorganization in order to even fit the Party Barn on your land, as it is simply massive.

Once placed, you'll be shown a menu that details all of the aspects of this new event. First and foremost, while this is a collection event in the most basic sense of the word, you'll be collecting friend RSVPs, rather than any actual item. You'll need to invite your friends to your in-game New Year's Ball Drop party, and the more friends that accept your invite, the bigger your party becomes, and the better the rewards that you'll unlock.

As of right now, there are four prizes to unlock for both girl and boy players, but the avatar clothing item therein is different depending on the gender of your in-game avatar. For both genders, three of the prizes are the Fireworks Finale (presumably a one time fireworks show that you can put on, on your farm), an unlock of the Balloons Crop, and a Disco Pony. However, for girl avatars, you'll also be able to unlock a fancy black Party Dress for your avatar, while boys will unlock the black Party Tuxedo for the same amount of "Guests."

You'll earn the Fireworks Finale after 5 guests have been added to your party. 10 Guests unlocks the Balloons Crop, which we told you about earlier this evening (16 hour crop that rewards 2 XP when planted for 15 coins per square; harvestable for 126 coins per square), 20 guests unlocks the avatar clothing item for your specific gender, and reaching the full 40 guest capacity unlocks the Disco Pony, an animal that we told you about recently in a FarmVille Sneak Peek.

To invite guests to your party, you'll need to click on the "Invite" button within the Party Barn menu. This will take you to a menu like the one seen below, where you'll be shown a list of all of your Facebook friends, with each friend having a "Share" button underneath their profile picture. Clicking on the Share button for a particular friend allows you to post an individual invite to that user's wall. If you haven't turned on automatic wall posting within the game (Zynga suggests that you do, but this is entirely voluntary for this event), you'll need to approve each wall post as it goes onto your friends' walls, but automatic posting will speed this process up considerably.

While you're waiting for your "guests to arrive" - their avatars will appear next to your barn, but can be removed by simply clicking on them to clear space, and they will then show up inside your barn on the dance floor - you can take a few moments to upgrade your Party Barn using the standard three ingredients: 8 Wooden Boards, 8 Nails, and 8 Bricks. You can either buy them for 1 Farm Cash each from the store, or you can ask your friends to send them to you via individual gift requests.

Of course, once the barn has been completed, it will be transformed from a simple red barn to a neon, flashing 2011 Party Barn, complete with large crystal ball perched atop a pole from the top of the barn, as seen at the top of this post. Once the party ends at the beginning of the new year, you won't be able to invite anymore of your friends to the party (meaning you won't be able to add more guests to redeem more items), but you will be able to re-watch the ball drop, or purchase prizes you already have enough guests for. In addition, the Party Barn will thankfully be storable.

And there you have it! A complete run-down on FarmVille's last big blowout of 2010. Remember to head into your own game to get the party started!

New FarmVille Limited Edition Crop: White Poinsettia (requires seed packets)

As part of tonight's FarmVille update, we see the release of a new limited edition crop in the game that flower-lovers will definitely appreciate. The crop is the White Poinsettia, and just like the regular Poinsettia before it, it is a limited time offering that you'll need to be fast to plant and harvest if you want a chance at full mastery.

The White Poinsettias are a crop just like the Black Roses from Halloween, that must be collected in seed packets before they can be planted. You can click on the "Get" button next to the White Poinsettia crop in the store in order to "Ask for more" seed packets, with this allowing you to post a general request to your wall for your friends to see. Since this might be looked over by many players, you might try asking some of your closest neighbors personally to send you some (they are available to send in packets of 20 from the game's free gifts page).

Once you have packets of seeds, you'll be able to plant them and harvest them 16 hours later. You'll get 200 coins for each harvest, and you'll earn 2 experience points for each seed that you plant. As with other crops, the White Poinsettia can be mastered, with the first star of mastery coming at 250 harvests.

FarmVille English Countryside Sneak Peek: New buildings and crops

Zynga has released a snapshot of what looks to be its biggest FarmVille release to date, the English Countryside expansion. From what we can gather in this screen shot, there will be plenty of flowers to master including pink and white daisies along with two other flowers I can't name from looks alone. (What do you want from me? I'm no real gardener!) However, what we can guess is that there will be a slew of new buildings to construct, namely a new Chicken Coop and Stable. As a side note, is it just me or do those graphics look a little sharper than standard FarmVille fare? If Zynga is at the point of releasing screen shots, we'll find out for ourselves sooner rather than later.

What else do you think lies in store for us with the English Countryside? Are you prepared to build a second farm?
