As you already noticed the Oktoberfest and Golden Week are not playing nice together and they even seem to have a combined ranking list. (well, great). The team are looking into it and trying to find a solution.
There will be offers (like the one up now), between now & Wednesday, of Oktoberfest items, that can be bought with Ludwig coins. Any remaining cons will be reset at the start of the next Oktoberfest event.

No downtime was required but players may have to reload their game for it to take effect.
the CC countdown timer is NOT correct at this time.
The CC will not start until the update of tomorrow has been completed, and since the exact time of the update has not yet been confirmed, the exact time of the CC is also still unknown.
We have asked that the incorrect CC timer be removed from in-game and is still waiting to hear back. If is should get removed, however, there is a chance that any gold league players who have voted already, will need to do so again.
Further news from the Mod desk relates to the weather ...
We've heard that there will not be any snow on the farms this year, due to requests for the feature to be removed as it was hurtful to the eyes of many players.
Our reporter at the scene overheard the following:
"we wanted to try and make it choosable for people but the floor texture is very big and loading both at once could cause lag issues, especially to those players with older computers.
However, don't despair, the Christmas workers will be activated with the next update to give your farms that Christmassy feel."
But as we all know, updates tend to have a mind of their own so please do consider that the CC timer showing right now might not be exactly accurate.
We will keep you updated as and when we hear more.
DO NOT be concerned, it is only a display error.
A second point to note, on a different matter, the cowshed skin in the rural set is meant to be for a 5x5 themed cowshed, but it turns out that it will work on a regular 8x5 cowshed too! (where it will look like a 5x5 shed with 3x5 space).

CHIPMUNK NEWS
*****************************
The warm front that is drifting over BF this year (probably from that Volcanic island) has caused all the snow to melt, making it difficult to find the snow piles where chipmunks like to hide!
They are still there & it may help to know that Chipmunks are creatures of habit, so if you can remember where you found them last year, you will be off to a good start!
Don't miss out !

Also, for any of you are still missing your 2nd Snowman deco (the one from Rudolph) & still getting Snowballs dropping, it would appear that this corrects itself when the server is restarted - We had a couple of servers restarted the other day & that brought snowmen & stopped the snowballs - The happiness for the Snowmen is still as it should be when the event ended, the additional snowballs since then, are not counted.

We know that you are all anxiously awaiting news about the various bugs in the Christmas events, particularly missing gold & missing mailbox decos from Rudolph. They could not be fixed this week as key team members are still away, but the issues are all known & there is no need at this point to do any tickets for them. Next week we will be able to let you know what is happening with each issue, starting with the gold from Santa's workshop, down to what went wrong with the extension to the FHWE.

Greetings Big Farmers,HANDY TIP FOR DSF
*****************************
If like me you had got use to loading your DSF boats by clicking the items, instead of dragging them & not having to hold down the shift key to do it, then you have probably noticed that it no longer works on the HTML version of the game (yet). However, I have been looking at "Sticky Keys" & the good news is that it IS still possible, so here is a quick little "how to" guide for you, should you wish to try it for yourself ....
Happy fishing!

Hi Everyone,
Well we have had the big switchover to HTML and for the vast majority of players it has been a positive experience - Yay!! Flash is no longer available, which happened earlier than we expected, but it means all resources are now being concentrated on tweaks & improvements to the HTML version of the game & as you saw on Friday, with the hotfix, many issues are being addressed more swiftly now.
We have had reports of some players still suffering from unplayable lag & have passed this on to the team, who say:
To those asking what is being done for Mac users, we have been told that they are unaware of any issues, specifically related to Mac, if you are having problems with lag, see above.
Regarding Mobile devices, as you know Big Farm is not designed to be played that way, so there is no specific support for mobile issues, but as far as we know the HTML version does still work on newer devices & we would refer you to the tutorial: How to play BF on a Mobile device which is still the latest info that we have on this topic.
Thank you all for your excellent feedback & for finding all those minor hidden little glitches, keep it coming, the team are working their way through the list as quickly as they can.

The loading speed of Big Farm for the newest version of Firefox is improved now and the game should load way quicker than before.
The monthly renewal dates for subscriptions, appear to show differently on the site & in the emails - At first glance it looks like the subscription site in basing a month on 30 days, whereas the emails are correctly using the same date each month - it is more obvious this month as February only has 28 days.It is being looked at, but for now make sure you check your emails for your exact renewal date, if 1 or 2 days would significantly affect you - If, for example, you purchased your subscription on the 4th of the month, your renewals should be the 4th of every month thereafter.

Hi Guys,
As you probably noticed in the last FHWE, something went wrong with the order of the crates & we started to get consecutive crates from the same type of pool, that is not supposed to happen, the team have identified the issue on the server side, but the fix will most likely come in April & so will not make it into the FHWE that starts on March 31st.
You will also have seen the recent introduction from our new CM, Arjuna, so if you need to contact a CM for any reason, they are currently:
