Hi Everyone,

Remember, remember, the 1st of November… because it’s update day! This time, we’re bringing you all together again, to face off in a worldwide race of the servers, and we’ve made some changes based on your feedback too!

So without further ado, we present to you:


Big Farm "Worldwide Championship" - WWC


It’s here again, the Worldwide Championship! All servers will once again face off against each other, vying to prove their cooperative spirit! We received some great feedback from the community last time, and we have included much of that feedback in this run of the event. The basic mechanics have remained the same:

  • Each player will collect points from one of 5 categories, based on actions performed on the farm (e.g., harvesting a crop provides farming points).

  • Players must try to collect as many points as they can while the event is running.

  • A score for each server will then be shown at the end of each week, detailing the total score and rank of each server.

  • Players will collect activity rewards for gathering points in the various categories - the personal score and the overall server score will also affect the number of WWC coins each player receives (which can be exchanged for rewards) and there will be rewards for the servers who rank highest at the end of the event!




Here’s a breakdown of what’s different this time:

Point Changes

  • Challenging NPCs at the horse ranch will no longer grant points - players who are no longer able to challenge the NPCs will not be disadvantaged

  • The greenhouse will drop farming points rather than horse points

  • Co-operative points will drop when retrieving gifts from a fully watered co-op tree There is a small chance of coop points from watering and when retrieving gifts from coops trees

  • Hard Work Events run during the Championship will include WWC points as ranking rewards

  • WWC points will no longer drop from the Wheel of Fortune or be provided as ranking rewards in this minigame - instead, these were replaced with WWC coins to allow players to benefit from some rewards, but not shoot up in the rankings with low effort

Ranking Changes

  • The points for the server rankings will now be calculated differently to give smaller servers a more even chance. Instead of taking the top 100 players from each server, the scores will be calculated by considering the average of all players above lv 8. The more people you convince to join in and collect points, the better chance you have of winning!

Championship Trader Changes

  • The Rustic Doghouse appearance item was removed from the WWC trader due to its low Farm Dollar cost

  • The Rustic Simple House appearance item was reduced in price from 473 to 233 WWC coins

Activity Reward Changes

  • Activity rewards for the horse, Co-op, fishing and event point categories now require approximately 20% less points to obtain

  • The quantity of rewards received will now be the same across categories, meaning you will now get the same amount of rewards regardless of the category the points are earned in (e.g., the final activity reward of Gold Mystery boxes will now be rewarded in the same amount in each point category)

  • The highest league, originally for players level 91-999, has now been split into two leagues, 91-250 and 251-999. The higher of those leagues features a larger quantity of activity rewards

Individual Ranking Reward Changes

  • All leagues will now have an additional choosable reward for the top 1000 players!

  • In all leagues, players with a position of 6-20 will now have the same time reduction booster as other ranking positions, rather than a construction booster as in the previous run

  • The highest league for individual rewards has also been split into two leagues, 91-250 and 251-999, with a similar increase in reward quantities for the higher of these leagues

Worldwide Server Reward Changes

  • Coops Players with 20,000-199,999 points on the top 1 server will receive 6 Gold Mystery Boxes, while players with the same score on the 2nd server will receive 4 Gold Mystery Boxes and players on the 3rd server will receive 2 Gold Mystery Boxes



Other Changes

  • A new ‘unseen reward’ indicator will appear when you have multiple activity rewards waiting for you, preventing multiple popups

  • The reward popup will now feature all gained prizes since players last clicked on the reward indicator


  • The Happy Hour will be running during the Championship, with boosters aimed towards helping you earn even more points

  • The event schedule for the month will be packed with different events to give you the opportunity to plan your activity and to obtain as many points as you want. This includes Hard Worker Events, Co-op Championships and a brand new event that will be described at a later point

  • The event calendar will be present once again with the new schedule. Please bear in mind that this calendar is intended as a general guide and the event dates might change

Other Changes

  • With this update we will provide the rewards not gained in the last Co-operative Hard Worker Event

  • The missing description from the Ghost prank has been added

  • The empty reward dialogue for players that gained no ranking rewards in the Co-operative Hard Worker Event was removed, a popup will only appear when players receive prizes

  • With the update, the cat trees on the gourmet farm, that are stuck at 0 and where the cat charms collected don't get counted, will be removed from the farms. The dollars or gold spent to build them will be credited to your accounts. The bug that caused this is fixed, but unfortunately it can only work for the cat trees built after the fix and it wasn't possible to resolve for those that were already showing this problem.


Thank you for all your feedback from the 1st WWC, we hope that this one is even more fun!

Good luck everyone!

  • Hi Guys,

    The following addition has been made to the above announcement:

    With the update, the cat trees on the gourmet farm, that are stuck at 0 and where the cat charms collected don't get counted, will be removed from the farms. The dollars or gold spent to build them will be credited to your accounts. The bug that caused this is fixed, but unfortunately it can only work for the cat trees built after the fix and it wasn't possible to resolve for those that were already showing this problem.
  • Hey guys!

    The update for all servers should start in about 20-30 minutes. The WWC event & CC have been delayed 30 minutes.
  • Hi All,

    1) To make up for the issues with the cat trees being removed we will do something a little special to apologise. From the next update (planned for the week starting on 20th November), for 10 days we will run a special Cat Charm Madness! During this time cat charms will be more easily collected on the Gourmet Farm. Additionally, we will add a set amount of cat charms to the Gourmet Farm cat tree to give players an extra boost. This will be the same amount for all players.
    To take advantage of the extra charms you must have built the cat tree on the Gourmet Farm before the update that adds them. If you have not built the Gourmet Farm cat tree before then you will not receive the charms.
    We are also aware some of you are reporting issues with your cat tree since the last update. We are aware of those issues and are investigating.

    2) The following amendment was made to the official announcement:

    Co-operative points will drop when retrieving gifts from a fully watered co-op tree There is a small chance of coop points from watering and when retrieving gifts from coops trees

    3) The Happy Hour will activated on Monday. 

    4) The event calendar shows the icon for the Viking farm & test saying Tropical farm, it will be the Viking farm that starts on the 5th.
