Co-Op Farming is here (and Treasure Isle!)

But…. I can't seem to load FarmVille. It just loads the frontscreen and then hangs, no matter what browser.

So luckily Kevin has got it covered :)

Well… that gives me time to try out Zynga's newest game : Treasure Isle ! (And as always Zynga seems to copy the next already existing non-Zynga game, in the game Treasure Madness (which LOTS of players were playing).

So let's see where Zynga "improved" on and let's read if Zslide likes it that their only main Facebook game is getting HUGE competition…

They state it so proudly… but this could drop …

Although http://www.pictogame.com/ is interesting: players creating their own mini games.

Well… since FarmVille is down….. Here is my just created coolest racing game ever designed on earth:

(well... WordPress MU strips out all embed tags.... no game here but here: http://data.pictogame.com/gc/gc4.swf

hmmm… I think I am born to design games :)

… Back to Treasure Isle…

	I start on a small Island and can dig for treasures!
	And ofcourse I find treasures and earn badges.
	Like Treasure Madness I can trade in sets for a prize.
	And there are Levels! I am now level 2 Beach Comber and can buy new stuff and can gift new stuff! (like in FarmVille)
	After completing Island, it gets a little bit smarter: I can jump from Island to Island via a route, this is different from Treasure Madness where I can buy a whole bunch of maps (if I have the money). Another difference is that it does not indicate much or not much treasures to be found on the islands.
	Tools needed to uncover certain pieces of land … well that's of course exactly the same as in Treasure Madness. though the game looks sharper in details.
	After finding another extra Gift I can send it to one of my friends. Let's send it to our FV God!
	Putting items out of collections that you do not have in your wishlist works the same as in Treasure Madness but it seems to be a little more under your fingers by the menu item inside the game (well… so it feels). It also looks cooler.
	And then there is …. Home Island … :)
	On the home island you actually relax, do stuff and wait for more energy to continue your quests. This is totally new and not in treasure madness.
	And well… uhmmm…. home reminds me of that other game where you have to harvest things, collect things, grow things and stuff. I forgot the name. well… try it out for yourself: Treasure Isle, probably as addictive as Treasure Madness is / was and probably another thing I need to play :) I'm VERY curious what is now in the heads of Zslide :)

So, FV can't be loaded...'just hangs' .... WTF???? I've had same problem - probably almost a week now. WHAT GIVES? is this going to be fixed??? I'm losing my patience, and to a degree, my interest, in FV. I'm weary of (the excuses) 'it's free, it's beta' not to mention the constant FV self- and player forced promotion...and all the new stuff designed to make us spend $. (NOw, if we had room to store EVERYTHING we purchased, yep, I'd by lots of theme sets but to purchase knowing I have to sell at cents on the dollar, duh!)
The contstant problems have been bad enough - but now that just ACCESSING the game can't be done...we (players) must be morons to keep playing.
