    Do I send the link from the game or do I have to sent it from somewhere else?

    We don't expect you to spam your friends. It's all up to you how and if you would like to share those links. :p

    Friend referral has been something that we've been asked about on a regular basis. Now those of you who would like to invite their friends can use this feature.

    You got me searching Nafaru. Where are those regular demanders for this feature? Have they left the game already? Don't really see much positive feedback supporting your claim. Are you just joking with us?

    As mentioned before there will be a rather unobtrusive new interface element telling you about your friend count and giving information on mouseover or click.

    So far I couldn't spot any flashing elements covering all areas of my farm on the test servers and the game's documentation doesn't mention any either. ;)

    Steffi

    "un/obtrusive" will certainly be relative to an individual. But having unremovable task and constant reminder at the upper console, do you still call it unobtrusive? :)

    Further, if this feature is really so unimportant and ment for just a few of those who reportedly asked for it, dispite overwhelming majority disliking it, for what reason do we need to check all the time how many friends we have, especially if already mentioned vast majority will have constant zero?

    And again, since GGS put so much effort into the developement of this feature, is it so foreign to their thinking to just make it available for existing players, with a few adjustments, maybe, instead leaving it exclusively "new invites" feature? Especially when facing such a strong negative appraisal for that?

    I'd really like to hear/read some good, thoughtfull answers to these questions, with some advanced reasoning, if there is any associated with the whole concept. As I cannot overlook the huge potential this feature has, if treated properly, yet in present format it gives GGS not much more then just a bad name again. 8) 8) 8)

    Did you really just become my friend to get information quicker? That's so mean! ;(

    No, but the racoon pic was so awesome I had to make a joke about it. I didn't find the racoon but I did find my candies!

    i have never known a game web site with so many problems, yes they all have little problems, but here GGS seem to introduce things that are full of problems from the start. Will we ever get anything that has not got some sort of problem, be it times, receiving things, wrong display....... . Logic tells you to fix things first before bringing out new stuff. Logic tells you to bring something new out on its own, not at the same time other things start, this give the the chance to eliminate potential problems quicker, start 4 -5 different things at the same time you do not know which is conflicting or causing problems with the new stuff.

    Has anyone managed to complete the task to "invite a friend" and receive the 30 karma points? I invited someone, but that didn't complete the task. A friend in my co-op invited someone, that person started a new farm, and my friend didn't get the karma points for completing the task either. :(

    Sounds like a nice trick to make you invite more then just one friend. :):):)

    I haven't bothered with spamming yet (which is not spamming according to local provocateur Graycat Ashes S). :)

    Still waiting to see the whole picture. No rush. :)

    It would have been really helpful to know up front that the first and last day of the event would be less than 24 hrs. People need to know that the event starts at 7am cest but resets each day at noon cest, and that it ends at 5pm cest on the last day. Basically the first and last day are 7 hrs shorter than the rest of the days. Same thing happened in egg event and some in coop thought they could do them after they got home from work only to find it had rolled over to second day while they were gone. Same for last day, it ended before they were home from work. Next time we will send a reminder to coop to remind them this happened.

    It is a learning experience, and we try to work together (also known as mentoring with new to game and or new to coop) on these things. I don't need to add friends, our coop is full we can only add 2 spots with the last research. Who wants to invite people to play but say sorry you can't be in the same coop I am in. Who wants to start a new coop and leave our game friends to be with other who might not even end up liking it and staying.

    I see the demise of this game completely. I've seen it coming for some time now.
    I can choose to ignore any and all things I do not like or agree with.
    Hopefully, so will most of the wonderful friends I have made within the game.
    But, if things keep going like they are, I think the game will cease to exist entirely.
    I will lose touch with these great people over time, and that saddens me more than anything.

    So--to all those I have 'met', chatted with, missioned with, PM'd, etc. Please know, I will always
    remember the good days on Big Farm and how much fun it was. Please try to stick with it;
    I know it's getting difficult.

    Click on the welcome centre within the airport (which only appears after somebody has accepted your invitation), at the bottom of the pop-up window is a green button "rewards shop" that directs you there ;)

    Post on logging into game:- Get ready to win the jackpot in the next update! Friendship airport will give you a key advantage in upcoming events.

    So this is way game is going - I bring other people into the game or I get penalised.
    Problem is my friends are already playing.

    I also look on this as a form of bullying.
    Do as we say or you will suffer.

    Interesting way to run game.

    I very rarely make comments on the changes/updates/new features but I have to say this is the worst feature so far. If it is optional, then please add an opt out button so i don't have to see this task sitting there forever and I don't have to look at the friends bar.

    I am sorry that people are upset. I don't understand how this is bullying though or how you get that this is bullying? Not trying to say that your opinion is invalid, I am truly trying to understand why you would classify it as this.

    I have allready say that before (post#28 in this thread)
    But ok, just to clear it up:
    I hate advertising in my IRL mailbox, that's why I'm on my mailbox have a sign with this text: "advertising - No thanks"

    I also hate spam in my internet mailbox - The "nospam" in my e-adrres effectively protecs against a very big part of that, because spammers using programs to take away the "nospam" from e-adresses before they send their spam to a bunch of address they have find around the internet or get from other spammers. - and when these stupid spammers by their program have removed the "nospam" from my e-address my address did not longer works. hehehe... :p

    Also my few IRL friends do not like spam in their inbox.
    - Sorry to say this GGS, but my few IRL friends is a lot more worth to me than Bigfarm, even that I in more than 1½ year have much fun by playing Bigfarm.... But this time GGS have let an elephant jump on my toes, and I find that absolutly unacceptable.

    And as the last thing: In Denmark (where I live), it's against the law to spam other people in their internet mailbox!
    - even if I not have that princip I don't want to spam other people, I don't want to risk to be punnished by a danish court for breaking the danish laws against spam (Yes, I know the risk are very little, but the fact is that, there are people in Denmark who have been punnished for sending out thousands of spammails.)
