    If the cost for special buildings is being changed will the players who have bought already be reimbursed the difference in gold? For example - if you have a level 2 workshop will you get the 3400 gold back (12500 - 9100)


    EDIT: I've just realized that I've screwed up my math. It's actually a lot more!!! 7500 (level 1) + 12500 (level 2) = 20000 that I've spent. And now it only costs 1600 + 9100 = 10700.
    Therefore the difference is actually 9300 gold

    What's the policy on refunding players in Toet's situation? It wouldn't be fair to say "yeah well if they leveled their [water tower/workshop/whatever] to level 5 it evens out" because some people don't want to do that, or actually don't have enough gold to go all the way.

    Will the demolishing of blue houses be available in this update?

    Oh, here's an idea for the different colors/breeds thing with dogs: why not make those options unlockable once your dog has learned some new skills, or leveled, or whatever it is that the dogs can do, kind of like a prize for achieiving something with your dog?

    Erryka, not this week sorry. Latten said in another thread though:

    Hey guys,
    the demolish option won't make it to this update, as you will see in the Patch Notes later this week. Instead of "just putting it in", we decided to put a bit more effort into it, make it work for other Premium buildings, too, make it work for decorations inside the Inventory and design a proper interface around it, so it will take a little bit longer. Should be in one of our next updates though. I hope you're not too disappointed, but I think it's the right decision especially when thinking about people accidentally selling/destroying their Premium buildings.

    Trust me, it's worth the wait

    Just checking - are the gold price changes for the special buildings permanent, or will they revert back to the original price eventually?

    I think the water tower price changed a few months ago (might be before you started playing). It upset many people and now they change it back to what it was. Let me find the link. Sometimes, I just don't understand the reasons behind the actions.

    I just copy the discussion thread, but the link to the announcement is in the first post and the price upgrade is quoted a few times in the discussion.

    It was upsetting the last time they increased the price for every level.
    Now it upsets me because they are altering the price for the level 4 and the level 5 upgrade.
    Although the total price remains the same the change means for me and others that have a level 4 watertower
    that we pay alot more if we don't upgrade to level 5 before the update.

    My farm isn't ready for a level 5 watertower at this time. The planning was to do this at a later point.
    But now i decided to not do the level 5 upgrade. In my mind i am already paying more as i know what it originally costs. And now they expect me to pay even more after the upcomming upgrade. No thank you, no more gold purchases for me in the near future.

    As I recall the reason for changing the water tower before is that the workshop was then made too powerful so they raise the watertower upgrade prices. Now months later, the prices for both is reduced.

    a total of 1300 gold less for the watertower when you buy all levels after the next update
    but a total of 6700 gold more for the workshop when you buy all levels after the next update

    if you're right in the middle of upgrading like me then you are screwed because the price for the first levels will drop and the price for the higher levels will go up.

    Awesome! Pet, birthday surprises, and upcoming spooky Halloween event. What more could a farmer want?

    Thanks!

    Don't worry Edwin, the update doesn't really take that much time and it usually happens in the morning here and the Netherlands is only an hour behind us. :)

    I would guess anywhere between 8 and 11, NL time. Which is, how would you guess, between 7 and 10 UK time :D And it is just for a short time, maybe 5 to 10 minutes? Maximum half an hour? I don't know really, usually the update is done when I wake up at around 10 :P

    Edit: Times are in AM, so in the morning :P

    Hope it's safe to be back on forum. Had to see if there was any news of the puppy...having read posts it seems safe to say tomorrow is the date, well probavly, could be, maybe, hope so, might be...gee...and I thought being a kid was hard. You grown-up's really have it hard...with updates and bad pictures. Hey...all I want is a puppy to hug and train...so really have my fingers crossed it's tomorrow. Be safe and if we don't get a puppy...hug the person you love

    It's reasonably safe, Irish, since image embedding has been disabled for a while. Nothing will leap out at you, and just be careful about following links posted by people you don't know or trust.

    Here's a suggestion for when the puppy thing comes into play: is it possible to have the puppy colors/breed change as upgrade options later? Like when your puppy has been trained enough you have the option of changing its color or something? This might be an easy way of accommodating the request that has come up a fair bit here about getting different breeds/colors.

    Heyhey,

    the update is being prepared right now. Get ready for your dog!

    Jaystarr, first of all we are going to have a look at how well the dog will be received.
    If all of you can't keep their hands off their little puppy, we might think about more and more ways to customize it. :)

    Regards,
    Steffi
