Why do you have to keep adding new items to farm town when the servers you have cant cope now?? No wonder so many people left, but now i see you are adding new items to get them all back, well all my friends have stoped playing because of all the problems. The main problam i have is that i cant work on other people farms therefore i cant earn coins ect ect, I keep getting this bloody sign saying connection to server timed out please tick the tick to reload the game, and as you know thats the end of that job. Please get your servers sorted out before adding anymore new items, I usually use firefox but i have also used IE they are both the same makes no differance. Regards John
