Festive Farm Trader
Another problem is that we are not able to purchase festive orchards (festive almond orchards and festive peach orchards) with the new currency. I also looked in the equipment section and there is also this currency for the other farms. It says that the currency is removed when the event ends, so it cannot be saved for other events. This makes it impossible to collect runestones and save them to either buy festive orchards, duck coops or donkey stables now as I understand.
Are there any plans to fix this issue or just get rid of this currency? It is really bad as it stops us from collecting themed buildings from the temporary farm.
Comments
Where can we sell the things that we product?
In my opinion, it is a stupid change as it removes the ability to plan a strategy for the event if you have not played it before or do not remember the sale prices.
lets hope... this change is only for this particular farm , cause its festive and all...
cause we had three identical temporary farms where we could buy all the themed buildings we wanted like the duck of course and they took it away
I dont know who will play this farm so much.. it is temporary after all
to spend so much money just for some christmas decorations? bad thinking in my opinion
I hope the viking and northern lights farm will not be changed as well
please tell them to leave them as it is , thank you!
Of course, whenever an update comes, it's to tinker with something that was already good
We now have a limit of 500 premium rations, fertilizers...
Was there any response from when it was reported in October?
Here's a link to the September update discussion;

In the October update, Flexing design muscles with new Deco Sets, is when these new coins were noticed and the only news the mods got from the team at that time was that they were assured "runestones would not be lost". With that, I had hopes maybe there would be 2 types of currency, but now it does not look that way as I do not see runestones anywhere in it (yet?).
Well, we may not lose them, but not sure for how long we will have a choice to use up what we have - That is my new question..... is there a deadline to use them up? Also, wondering if runes, vouchers & seashells will still be awarded in the newer style of gold theme boxes - and if not, what will they be replaced with? I can't imagine they'd put these coins in those boxes since we have a limited time to use them. I guess maybe I should empty the ones I have now.

I agree with this so much! I may still hold judgement until the end of the event to decide for sure, but if we can't accumulate them, it doesn't look promising IMHO. I've just got to try it at least once before I decide
Congrats, you win...im out.
Again, there are signs that the Viking and Northern Lights farms will be run like this one.
It looks like it has replaced runestones in all forms, but the runestones haven't gone & I can't now see how we can get more of them? so why haven't they just been converted?? and only had 1 form of currency ...
then the awards from the coins are different to the runestones. But what really confuses me is that the end of event award is 5 million coins ... but you have to use them before the end of the event? How on earth does that work?? I always use the end award to buy the extra people & happiness the next time it comes, but that is missing from the coins awards.
Like many have said, I really like the fact that we can save up for big ticket items. I am disappointed that that will not be the case for the coins.
What is wrong with them and why do they have to keep performing these pathetic acts?
if you find the answer... please do tell!!!
We now have dollars and gold: villagedollars; runestones are replaced by festive coins, northern light coins and viking coins; horse crest; championship coins; obsidian and obsidian dollars; pleasure park tickets. goldfish coins diamonds; seashells and vouchers.
Almost every farm has its own currency and it seems they are heading toward needing several different currency for buying things (like diamonds and gold or dollars for extending your farm). Or the temporary events like the islands, October Fest, Goldfish will lose the coins after the event.
I had hoped (silly me) that with introducing subscriptions and therefore creating a steady income from the game, the tendency for pushing gold sales would decrease. But it only seems to increase.
is what makes anger is that the ggs always makes these bullies. we have already seen it with the agricultural laboratory............
You will not be able to earn them again
All 3 of the new currencies will be removed 7 days after the end of the event
They will not carry over to the next run
I have a question :
Can we still buy miniducks with new currencies ?
Have a nice sunday
I had understood that the coins were to be earned & used within each event ..... the "Festive Farm Trader" will remain 7 days after the event ends for us to use them up. I think this part is clear, it's the runestones I am unclear.
I would like to confirm how I read this note.... That we will not ever be able to earn runestones again?
You state we need to spend them before the "Runestone Trader" is removed. This is a different trader than the ones for the coins (aka the Festive Farm Trader). When will this "Runestone Trader" be removed permanently? He normally goes away & reappears with each event, but the runestones remain in inventory. Are you saying that they too, just like the coins, will reset to zero 7 days after the event ends?
Normally we have the Northern Lights and Viking Farms too over the winter months. I am wondering if the trader will stay this season for each of those. I have a lot of gold theme boxes in inventory that I would need to open up before the permanent Runestone Trader removal deadline, and I'm sure others do as well.
On this same note, there are vouchers & seashells in those gold theme boxes too (and in my inventory), and with this report I can only assume those will go away too. I asked earlier (above) about those boxes, what will become of them?;
There are people who want to use the runes to buy other things that are not available with this farm. I am very disappointed that the ggs has made the decision for the winter farms to introduce coins that can only be used for the event itself. Now making the winter island would be even cheaper than the other two islands. From the comments I read I see a lot of people who are against this big change.
I, like many others, want the runes to remain and be given the possibility of being able to use those that one has aside in the future but more importantly that you return as before you get runes and not temporary coins from the winter farm.
There will no longer be an event where we can earn runestones
When the trader goes this time it will not return again
Correction. -
The runestones are still in the themed gold boxes
We can still receive more runestones, just not from the farms
The Runestone Trader remains for now
Each of the winter farms now have their own currency which cannot be carried over until the next run
We are giving the feedback that is not a good change.
We all like to save up for the better items
And this is from all the forum. Not just this one
Thank you for answering our questions and forwarding the sentiments along !
Will you please see if you can get an answer about the gold theme boxes which now reward vouchers, seashells and runestones? If we earn/win more after this event ends, will there be something different in those boxes? Or, if we get runestones in them will the just immediately dissappear?
Before I relay this information to others, I just want to make sure I understand correctly ..... 7 days after this event ends, both the Festive Farm Trader and the Runestone Trader will leave and all remaining balance of coins and runestones alike, will be wiped down to zero. Then when the winter, viking, or northern lights farm start up again, we will only get the Festive Farm Trader and never see the Runestone trader again. Is this correct?
this is really absurd you know
but I have a question
what about seashells? from what I understand they will stay but.. after the tropical island leaves will we be able to store them or shells will got to zero too?
really I cant comprehend this
and they didnt mention it anywhere.. that we will loose our runestones
why are they treating us like that??

I am really surpised on how they think and act in this company
they should have left the option to buy ducks... with the new coin
and now that we can't store them ,all players that wanted a duck... would have played more, put more effort and gold of course to be able to win more than one duck
so instead of giving us the option to buy ducks with the new coin ..they just took away everything?
really bad move
and now I wonder why would someone bother to play this temporary farm let alone spend gold?
cause from what we see now .. its not worth it!
Why I do not know
