the Lunar New Year!
Note: I will not be around for the weekend since I will be celebrating Carnaval and be utterly drunk for some days as of … now :) (some youtube movies to give you an impression) p.s. I am working on the next generation of this blog (feel free to sign up as pre-pre-pre-beta tester) but I can already see that that project will take me some months to finish :)
A LOT of new goodies today to celebrate the Carnival Festival, Valentine's Day AND Lunar New Year – can we handle three themes at a time??

The Unwither Ring mailing
New updates: The UNWITHER RING WOW!
While players are still collecting Valentines as mad The FV devs silently released even more mayhem on our otherwise very peaceful lives (p.s. read this: Farmville had 220 million Valentine’s Day gifts exchanged in the first 18 hours since their release which is more than the 152 million Valentine day cards exchanged ALL YEAR…)
 |
When we opened today we saw… the Unwither Ring and… wow… it is unbelievable expensive also… 250 FV this is probably the ultimate gift you can send to your friend which they then can open on the 14th.
It can then be customized with either Gold or Metal and 5 different gems leading to 10 possible rings.

There is also an update on the forums on the multiple Chicken Coops:
Hey Farmers,
When the Chicken Coop feature was initially released, it was not intended for users to be able to have more than one chicken coop per farm.
Due to various glitches and bugs in the past few weeks, certain users were able to place multiple chicken coops on their farms, which is a violation of FarmVille policy.
In order to rectify this situation, the FarmVille team has removed all excess Chicken Coops. This means that all users who are in possession of more than one Chicken Coop will be affected by this release.
To ensure our players are not overly inconvenienced by this change, all chickens that are in excess coops will be placed in your Gift Box. If you have more than 30 Chickens in multiple coops, your gift box will expand to accommodate all of them. This should ensure that you do not lose any chickens that are housed in excess coops.
In addition to this, we will leave the most valuable Chicken Coop on your farm. For example: if you are in possession of two chicken coops, one will be removed. If one Coop has 20 chickens and the other Coop has 3, we will leave the coop with 20 chickens on your farm.
This update will be completed in stages over the next few days, as it is a fairly complicated fix. This means that certain users will lose their additional coops before others.
We understand that many of our players enjoy having multiple Chicken Coops, however allowing this is something that threatens the stability of FarmVille. Having multiple coops increases the chances of producing Mystery Eggs. Having too many Mystery Eggs present in the FarmVille economy can unbalance the game. To ensure the health and longevity of FarmVille, we must limit the number of Chicken Coops to one per user.
After this release, being in possession of multiple Chicken Coops may result in consequences, as additional coops can only be obtained via cheating or hacking. If you would like to report a user for having multiple coops, please feel free to contact Zynga Customer Support.
We apologize for any inconvenience
or confusion these glitches may have caused you and we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding while we continue to work through the Beta process.
New: FarmVille Valentine Box : get your 150 Valentines !
Valentine has arrived full scale in FarmVille!
 All players who logged in today found a Valentine's Box in their gift box. (it sells for 0 coins!) It is a Christmas Tree "kind of" special object but … a little different. You have time to fill it until 14 Feb…
When you open it and thus start your Valentine journey, you see a progress meter which is labeled "clammy"
1. buy them for 1 FV Each in the marketplace: There are 10 different Valentines you can send or receive (comparable to the presents in the Christmas tree). The COOL thing is that you check your progress against other Friends (I hope they bring out more of these kind of things).
You can also beg/request Valentines from your friends. They then can reply to this message by pressing the button "SEND LOVE"
|
After receiving 10 Valentine Boxes you get an upgraded Valentines Box, which you can publish on your wall
And you have access to the Love Ewe and your meter will be "Lukewarm" A nice NEW animal which can also picked up from the Facebook Feed when your friends post their Reward. With 20 Valentine Items you get access to the Giant Teddy (2x2 sells for 100 coins)
With 25 Valentine Items you will see that you Valentine Box has gotten a nice little pink bear: With 30 Valentine Items you get the option to trade them in for and your meter will be "smoldering" You With 40 Gifts you have the option to trade your Valentines for Pecking Ducks (sweet!) (and the meter is "smoldering", which you again can share on the wall.
With 50 Valentines you get the trade in option for the 3 Hearts Fountain – absolute a COOL fountain for your fountain collection!! you meter will now be "smoking'" and you get an upgraded Valentines box, you can share a Valentine with your Friends:
With 100 Valentines, you will get the title "Hot Lava" which you can again share with your friends for an extra Valentine.
With 150 Valentines you get the title "En Fuego" and the full upgraded Valentine Box:
And you can now trade those 150 for…. the Eiffel Tower ! (after all these years it keeps being the city of Love and this is a nice symbol) (Maastricht could be a good 2nd city of love)
You can also share it with 1 friend (however he will not get your full size 7x7 Eiffel Tower but a MINI Eiffel Tower (size 4x4)
This has GOT the be the coolest object ever released in FarmVille!! Hereere is a picture of the mini Eiffel Tower you get when you get one from a friend (only 1 chance for that):
So to summarize to get all the gifts from the Valentine box: You need 150+50+40+30+20+10 = 300 Valentine Gifts OR sit all day before your wall and hit very quick on the accept button to pluck them from your wall! |

More Valentine decorations also appeared today in the marketplace We will link them later on.
- the love arch … pronounce this a couple of times, another arch for our collection and a nice one with roses for a potential rose garden |
 |
A Yellow Heart Hay has entered the Gifts as an exclusive FarmVille.com icon. |
 |
5 of the 10 possible Valentines can be gifted from your gift box. Like the horse stable attributes etc… I think they are randomized over players. |
| And Furthermore the Windmill and the Well now have become decorations instead of buildings as you will find in the overviews as soon as they come out of cache :) | |
 |
Also an Unwithered consumable has entered the market. If you really want to unwither your crops there is now an option to do so. You can buy 3 unwither options for 30 FV. |
 |
And finally .. In the Mystery Boxes there are some new special Valentine gifts such as:
- the Heart Teddy
|
 |
One we forgot is the Wise Bear it was already planned for Christmas but it now can be found as a new gift in the Christmas Tree and in the Mystery Gifts. |
And finally… today my Facebook finally got its new look, so now I finally know what al of you are talking about.
