April 1st is April Fools’ Day and FarmVille is in the spirit of trickery by gifting every farmer free Toilet Paper!Toilet Paper can be found in your FarmVille Gift Box and every farmer will receive one roll for free.
You can then use your Toilet Paper to TP a neighbor’s farm, specifically their Barn. You are only able to TP Barns. Nice job Zynga gods.
In the United States, Toilet Papering or T.P.ing is considered a prank or a joke. You use the Toilet Paper to “wrap” someone’s house, trees, or buildings. Read more about it below.
“Toilet papering (also called TP’ing, House Wrapping or Yard Rolling) is the act of covering an object, such as a tree, house, or another structure with toilet paper. This is typically done by throwing numerous toilet paper rolls in such a way that they unroll in mid-air and thus fall on the targeted object in multiple streams. Toilet papering is not uncommon in the United States and frequently takes place after the completion of a school’s homecoming football game and graduation, as well as onHalloween
In some states in the United States, such as Texas and Virginia, toilet papering is considered an act of mischief or vandalism. Yet in some states, such as California and Minnesota, it is legal and cannot be fined
Toilet papering can be done as an initiation, joke, or as a somewhat malicious (yet generally harmless) prank. Teachers, friends, school buildings, and other figures are popular targets for toilet-paperers. Although typically a homecoming prank in many areas, TPing is done all year round and is especially tricky to clean up after it has been rained on
Ring of Honor wrestler Jimmy Rave has fans who throw toilet paper whenever he makes an entrance.
What do you think of this April Fools’ Day treat?
How will you celebrate April Fools’?
 April fool's pop up

 You can then use your Toilet Paper to TP a neighbor’s farm, specifically their Barn. You are only able to TP Barns. Nice job Zynga gods.
Over the past few days, there has been random error's when accepting gifts as in recent gifts.
the gifts are sent well in advance of the two-week expiration date from FarmVille friends.
people will be in the middle of accepting gifts bouncing back and forth between the game and the notifications area on Facebook and then occasionally receive an error message that says 'This gift data not found.'
This has happened several days in a row and zynga are aware of the issue's and facebook have also been made aware!
 Help From Stallions!
Have you completed your Horse Stable yet?
If not, make sure you click on those wandering stallions because even tho your stable is not completed you will not get to use the stallion, but HERE'S THE GREAT NEWS;
INSTEAD,
you will get 5 Building Materials in your gift box!!!
Thats one of each item will appear,
this will enable you to use them to help build your stable.
It looks like La Maison free Gifting Supplies have returned to the FarmVille Gifting Page. Due to an unintentional error made earlier this week, the free La Maison supplies expired prematurely.
We also do not know what this means for those farmers that purchased final La Maison supplies with farm cash after the early end.
Hopefully, Zynga will address this issue in more detail.
There is also a new giftable Yellow Greenery that debuted in the FarmVille Gifting page.
Remember, the only way to receive free giftables is as a gift from one of your FarmVille neighbors.
On Wednesday’s update day, FarmVille introduced a new Easter themed Light Blue and Pink ribboned Mystery Box!
This Mystery Box will be available for the next 7 days in the FarmVille Market and costs 16 FV$ or farm cash.
As always, the box promises to offer exclusive prizes that you cannot purchase elsewhere.
This box is filled with Spring themed goodies, check out the spoiler below for prizes.
What prized did you get in this Mystery Box?
:::Spoiler Alert:::
The following are confirmed Light Blue & Pink (03.31.10) Mystery Box Prizes:
Gnome Sprinkler
Duck with Kite
Squirrel
RV Camper
Horse with Plow
Lilly Pad Pond
So you have found a group or page promising you thousands of farmcash, Pink Elephants or massive farm expansions? All you have to do is join and invite all of your friends? Wow this is great! Except it’s not, it’s a total scam. Read on to find out why and what you can do to prevent this!
This guide was created to prevent users of FarmVille from being scammed and cheated by the massive influx of fake groups on Facebook. ALL of the FarmVille groups designed to get (items, Farmcash, unreleased items, extra coops, etc…) are fakes. The only way to get these things (you can’t get unreleased or extra coops, this is cheating and/or using glitches) is to play the game and buy Farmcash from the official FarmVille game buying section or get your friends to gift you items from the game (none of the Facebook apps claiming to gift villas or anything else are real!) and lastly to enter OFFICIAL contests that are ONLY available on the official Zynga/FarmVille forums located here: FarmVille Forums
Note: Recently Zynga has begun giving out minor free items like trees and experience points on your notifications. These are real, no others are.
It isn’t hard to work out the fakes if you know what to look for, any of the below are obvious signs that this is a fake group.
Become a fan/member and suggest/Invite All your Friends (any group requiring this is fake and not worth your time)
Once (insert random number) of your friends join you will receive the item/s
If you do not invite friends you will not get (random item being promised)
Over half of your friends must join
Please wait up to 1 day for (insert random “free” thing) to be applied
Please wait up to (random number) of hours for (promised item)
Join to unlock (26×26, 30×30 or 40×40, etc…) farms!
Join and receive a Pink Elephant! (Or any other unreleased animals and/or items)
Etc… If it looks too good to be true, IT IS.

FarmVille Podcast - March 29th:
Hey Farmers and welcome to this week’s installment of the Official FarmVille Podcast! As per usual, my name is Lexilicious and I am in charge of all things community over here on the FarmVille team. This week, we will be discussing our latest releases, I will be answering some user submitted questions and you guys are all going to get a sneak peek of things coming to FarmVille in the near future.
This week proved to be another really exciting week for the FarmVille team that was jam packed with some great new features and releases.
First and foremost, we continued to release more items from our Limited Edition French Chateau theme, including the new Museum, Restaurant and Pavillion that can all be purchased from the Market for varying amounts of Farm Cash. The new Mystery Wings Box made its debut this week, introducing some very special new winged animals to FarmVille. So far, this box appears to be a big hit with you guys so if you haven’t had a chance to get this new and improved Mystery box yet, make sure to grab one from the market before they disappear.
And as things start to warm up over here at the FarmVille offices, spring themed items are slowly starting to make their way into the market, starting with the new Chick – n – egg and the Egg Fence. Both of these items can be purchased for Farm Cash and coins from the Market for a limited amount of time.
We also released our first spring themed feature this week. The new Spring Basket allows you to collect Spring Eggs from your friends and redeem them for special items.
Now, this feature works almost exactly like the Valentine’s Day Box and the Pot of Gold so many of you may be familiar with how this event works. But for any of our new users who might be looking for some guidance, here are some quick tips to get you on your way.
Upon opening your giftbox you will find a Spring Basket waiting for you. After you place the Spring Basket on your Farm, you will be able to start collecting!
Now, in order to collect Spring Eggs, you’ll have to receive them from friends as gifts. Eggs can be sent to Neighbors via the free gifts page. One key difference to the Spring Basket is that you are able to find Eggs when fertilizing a Neighbors Farm. Clicking the ‘Ask for Eggs’ button will allow you to send a single Spring Egg to any of your friends (just like the Free Gifts page), and give them the chance to send you one in return. (Note: You can only Ask for or Send Love to 10 Neighbors every 24 hours.)
As stated in the message you receive when first opening the Spring Basket, new farmers that have been playing for 7 days or less can send out more Eggs at a time. New farmers can send three Spring Eggs to a single friend.
Upon receiving and accepting a Spring Egg it will appear in your gift box. Clicking "Use" will place the gift in your box automatically. As you collect gifts, each item you can unlock will be revealed as you collect the proper amount of gifts, and the "redeem" button will become available for each item. Clicking "Redeem" will award you the gift in return for the proper amount of Spring Eggs.
Every 5 Spring Eggs you collect, you’ll be able to post a Feed to your wall to alert your Friends of how well you’re doing and give them a chance to collect a free Spring Egg. 10 Neighbors will be able to collect one free Spring Egg when clicking on the feed within 24 hours.
For each notch on the meter of your Spring Egg progress bar, your basket will change appearance, overflowing with more and more gifts.
Clicking ‘Progress’ in the Spring Basket menu will show how many Spring Eggs you have in comparison to your friends. We all know that a little bit of healthy competition always makes things more fun, so make sure to keep track of your friend’s progress!
Now, before I get into answering some questions from the community, there is a quick change to Horse Stables that I want to fill you guys in on. Previously, the Pink Haired Ponies and the Brown Ponies would only produce brown foals when placed in the Horse Stable. As of March 25th, Brown Ponies and Pink Ponies will now produce Pony Foals when placed in the Horse Stable with a Stallion!
I’m sure this will make all of our pony lovers out there very happy. Ok, so let’s go ahead and get into answering some questions from the FarmVille Community!
1) Our first question comes to us from Calyr Elf and they'd like to know if they'l be able to finish their La Maison building once the materials are no longer available in the market. Once the buildable La Maison has expired, you'll no longer be able to send out its building materials, and the frame will no longer be available for purchase in the Market. If you've got any gift requests for the La Maison building materials that haven't expired yet, you can still accept them before they do. If you still can't finish the La Maison in time, you'll be able to purchase the rest of the construction for Farm Cash in the same way you can purchase an incomplete Chicken Coop expansion. The base cost to finish will be 50 and each piece of the La Maison you have in place already will subtract 1 Farm Cash from the total. So if you've already collected 25 pieces, you'll be able to purchase the rest of the construction at a cost of 25 Farm Cash.
2) Ms Nee would like to know 'What are those floaters that appear when plowing? They look like golden potatoes.' This is a question a lot of our new users have, and to answer you, the coins are a random chance for players to win 100 coins while plowing, planting or harvesting. It happens completely randomly with any kind of crop. If you see the coin above your head, 100 additional coins should be added to your balance. You can find answers to questions like this in the New User Support section of our forums, specifically tailored to help our newer Farmers get their bearings.
3) Our last question comes from IILtdesq, and they actually have a question about a feature that was mentioned in my last podcast. They want to know that if you get a foal from your stable, does that mean you'll never be able to get another consumable? Just so it's crystal clear, finding a foal does NOT affect your future chances of find any consumables. It just means that you will not find any consumables at that time. The next time you collect from your stable, you still have a chance of finding consumables as well as producing a foal.
Remember Farmers, if you have a question that you would like answered by the FarmVille team, please make sure to visit the official farmville forums or www.farmville.com for more details.
And for this week’s coming soon section, I actually have some more information for you guys about a feature I briefly discussed in last week’s podcast.
I’m sure some of you may have seen our loading screen image teasing the new “Co-op Farming”. As I said in last week’s podcast, FarmVille will soon feature new jobs that you can complete with your friends. Folks in FarmVille will ask for help completing various farming jobs. You will be able to team up with your friends and Neighbors to tackle these jobs for various rewards. Each one of these jobs will have a timer. If you and your friends finish the mission before your time expires, you will earn a Gold, Silver or Bronze Medal upon completion, depending on how quick and efficient you all were. The Faster you finish, the better the medal. In addition to this, if you and your Neighbors are savvy enough to earn a Gold Medal, you will unlock a very special prize.
This new feature is sure to add a very exciting new aspect to a game we all love. Since you guys have gotten a good peek into the details of this feature, it would be greatly appreciated if you could provide us with some feedback. Please make sure to visit the Official FarmVille forums if you have an opinion about this upcoming feature that you would like to share with us.
And lastly, we have some very cool new Limited Edition items heading your way in the coming weeks. In addition to a regularly scheduled Mystery Box, there will also be a very special April Fools Mystery Box available for a Limited Amount of time. And as mentioned last week, our Spring Themed Limited Edition items will be coming soon, including a Chocolate Cow, Egg Shaped houses and some very cute bunnies.
Alright Folks, that’s it from me this week! I will be back this coming Friday to give all of you your latest FarmVille news and updates. Again, my name is Lexilicious and I will see you guys soon! Happy Farming everybody.
After several ‘Farmville has been enhanced’ messages today many farmers are experiencing loading issues.
Farmville released an official statement on Facebook and Farmville.com above the loading screen.
“Due to communication issues with Facebook, you may experience loading issues. Until resolved, some features have been temporarily disabled.”
Hopefully this won’t delay any updates coming our way such as puppies, or the chocolate cows Lexilicious mentioned in the most recent podcast.
If you can get on your farm, what functions are disabled for you?
PLEASE INFORM US!
La Maison building and supplies were part of a limited event.
Many farmers were upset when the La Maison free supplies accessed through the FarmVille Gifting page ended early.
The Maison supplies are required to complete the building.
Since they were retired from the Gifting Page, the only way to get additional supplies to finish your La Maison building is to purchase them with farm cash from the FarmVille Market.
Zynga’s FarmVille Community Manager Lexilicious has addressed the unintentional early end to La Maison Gifting below:
“Hey Farmers,
The FarmVille team is aware of the fact that the La Maison gifts expired last night, which was earlier than intended.
Please know that the early expiration of the La Maison gifts was an unintentional bug that occurred with last night’s release.
The FarmVille developers are currently working on rectifying this issue as soon as possible.
To minimize the inconvenience to our users, once the La Maison items are fixed, we will extend the amount of time they are available to compensate for time lost. The La Maison gifts will expire on April 1st at 9 pm PST.
I will make sure to update the community accordingly as more information becomes available to me.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this problem may have caused you and we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding with us during this time.
