Hey all, As you may have noticed, prices in the store have gone up a tad. Choochoo works hard on those accessories, and we want to make sure they aren’t too easy to buy.

On a related note, if you’ve got a cool idea for a little accessory, post it to Choochoo’s farm.

Heyas,

Be sure to take a look at some of the new accessories that are now available. There are two new rocks (for those that want to make a rock garden), some purple flowers and a clover =). Also there is an expensive new stone wall (you may have to save up for this one).

Dear Farmers,

I’ve made some long overdue fixes that should GREATLY reduce the amount of flickering that you notice in the farm – especially when all your pets are running together toward a ball or food or something.

Also, check out the new Stone Wall that choochoo made last night.

Take care,
Aemon

Hey all,

Your turtles will now show up a little bluish if they’re not feeling well. Also, breeding your creatures too much will make them sick (it’s tiring!).

Dear Farmers, We’ve added several appearance related genes to the TurtleTot. See my farm for turtles that carry the new genes.

Little update:

As per Adam’s idea, your list of ‘Favorite Farms’ is now sorted by each user’s last-login-time, so you can get a quick idea of who has been active and who hasn’t.

Hey all,

I’ve been looking at our latest statistics and noticing that quite a few users are coming to the site with a Mac/Safari combination. I’ve looked over the site pretty extensively in Konqueror, a linux browser that happens to use the same html rendering engine (KHTML) as safari, and everything seems to be in order, but as I don’t own a Mac, I haven’t been able to directly test Safari.

If there are any friendly Mac users out there that are running both Firefox(the gold standard for us) & Safari, and you notice any disturbing ( or not so disturbing ) differences, please drop me an email! aemoncannon at gmail dot com

Thanks,
Aemon

I’d like to apologise for yesterday’s unexplained outage. The problem occurred with our dedicated server, and was as much a surprise to us as is it was to you. I hope it wasn’t too tough on your pets.

Thanks,

Dear farmers,

You’ll notice a new addition to the ‘essentials’ category in the store. We’ve created a magical tree that bears Farm Bucks as it’s fruit. The tree cannot grow if the surrounding creatures are unhappy, so keep them healthy, and reap the rewards.

Congratulations to arbiestsheft for winning my little contest! The correct answer was ‘baby alligator’. How they figured that out, I have no idea…
