The Farmers League is on the horizon!
Hello Farmers,
This is the Racing Farmer broadcasting live from the stage on your farm!
I’m Rita Mercury with today’s big story!
It is a special day here on Big Farm, as we are watching and participating in the making of history! The brand-new “Farmers League” is about to commence with veterans and rookie farmers from around the globe competing for top prizes and all-important bragging rights!
So, let me quickly explain how the Farmers League works!
First, we have five league events that can relate to a season of the Farmers League. However, the number and type of events will differ between each League season. By participating in each event, you can earn event points which determine your position in the division rankings. Based on your current division ranking, you will receive a medal each day which will help you earn title promotions and define your position in the final season ranking. As you progress from title to title, you will have the chance to receive better and more valuable rewards during the current season.
The Farmers League kicks-off TODAY between 10:00 -10:30 CEST (depending on server) - Fishing Hard Worker Event also starts today! Other events will follow during the League season.
Let’s get this show on the road!
Go, farmers, Go!

New Horse Season: Anniversary surprise waiting for you
August has been a busy month so far, with a variety of Big Farm and Goodgame Studios anniversary activities taking place. Now, we're bringing even more fun stuff to boost our festive mood!
To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we're starting a new Horse Season TODAY, offering special rewards - trophies, profile pictures and much more! So get ready for this anniversary run!
"Last Chance" dialogue for Summer Monument Coins
Hello farmers,
We want to inform you about the Summer coins that can be spent on the Summer 2019 monument.
There will be the last chance dialogue after the end of the current season. In the dialogue, you have the last chance to spend coins on the monument or convert them into dollars. That means you are not able to carry over any summer coins to the next summer season.
The current season is due to end on 28th September 2019.
We apologise for the last-minute communication on this topic.
Schedule Change for Temporary Farm
We want to let you know that the next temporary farm will start in the middle of October instead of the beginning of the month. And the new event, Dream World, will start at the beginning of October.
The reasons for this change are due to the fact that we want to avoid having two long term events starting on the same day, and we want to make sure that farmers have enough time to enjoy both of the events.
Please keep in mind that future event scheduling will also be affected by this change. Therefore, you can expect that the Dream World will start at the beginning of a month, and all temporary farms will start in the middle of a month.

Recurring Summer Monument Finisher
We are aware of the issue regarding the recurring of the finisher of the summer monument. Unfortunately, we will not be able to kill the finisher because it may affect other mechanisms within the event.
The finisher will end at 9:30 CEST on the 29th Sep.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
As best we (moderators) can tell, the annoying pop-up for the Summer coins got triggered "individually" the first time every affected player logged in to the game yesterday.
As you know it lasts for 24 hours, but this 24 hour period is different for everyone (depending on when you first logged in).
You can check how much time you personally have left at the top right of the pop-up:
Once the time has elapsed, you will see the following screen:
Please note that this last screen does not give an indication of the amount of dollars you will have received in the exchange. So if you are curious, do check your farm dollar balance before the screen pops up.
Ps: I'm trying to get my 600 LOL's badge before the end of October, don't disappoint me now !
FL Division Rankings (Following Oct 5th Downtime)
Hello farmers,
We are aware of the issue regarding the division ranking of the farmers League where remaining points/medals of one of the previous Hardworker events are displayed. Unfortunately, we will not be able to correct the current division ranking because it may cause other issues within both events. The points displayed in the division ranking should be reset once the player starts the Hardworker Event and medals should be granted at the daily medal payout according to the division ranking.
There is no compensation planned at this point.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Village Fair is Revamped!
Greetings BigFarmers!
The Big Farm Village Fair is starting today with some bold twists!
Roll up, roll up! It's party time on Big Farm as all the fun and festivities of the fair have finally arrived.
From this run on, both the cooperative event rewards and the hard work rewards are refreshed, offering more valuable decorations, appearances and items. Addition to this, the Village Fair Wheel of Fortune rewards have also been revamped to a new level. Sounds exciting? We are sure you will love all the changes!
One more significant change we have made is that the required goods in each challenge have been reduced quite a bit. So your Co-op members should manage to deliver products with much less effort, compared to the previous version of the event.
Select challenges and work closely with your Co-op members to earn rewards by delivering as many farm products as possible!
Details of the changes:

Oktoberfest & Village Fair Rewards
Hello Farmers,
We received reports that the choosable reward at the end of the Oktoberfest event credited an appearance item instead of one "Friendship meadow" or something that you selected.
We apologise for the issue and thank you so much for your patience with us as we finalised the details for you.
Unfortunately, we are unable to replace the added item with the correct reward automatically. Therefore, we need to ask you to contact our support team. Our support team will investigate each case and add a correct reward accordingly.
As you submit a ticket to us, please follow the instruction below and include necessary information.
1. select "in-game loss" from the SUBJECT dropdown list.
2. write down "Oktoberfest" and tell us which reward item is still missing under the first question "List the exact amount, name/s and location of items lost"
Here is an example ticket:
Note: If you don't include the information above, please be aware that a response from our support team may take more time.
Thank you and happy farming!

Edited to add screen shot | Rowdy
Edited Title | Wabbit
Due to the situation being different for each player, it is not possible to do a global fix for the Village Fair rewards & so on this occasion you will need to submit a ticket to support so that they can deal with each case individually.
As with the Oktoberfest rewards (above) pleas make it clear on your ticket that it is for:
"Village Fair" - Ranking rewards or Activity rewards or both
If you know your final ranking & exactly what items you are missing, please say so in your ticket. If you are unsure what the rewards were, just say so & give as much detail as you can about where your finished or how many activity rewards your coop won.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Cute little pumpkins hidden all over your farms!

CC Master League Rewards
Hello farmers,
We are aware of the issue regarding the rewards of the last Cooperative Championship where the Co-op ranking rewards were not credited correctly to some cooperatives at the end of the event. Today, we will compensate affected cooperatives with their correct rewards.
The compensation details look like the following:
- All cooperatives in the Master League will receive the correct ranking rewards.
- Players in those cooperatives who won the cooperative internal ranking reward will receive the correct rewards.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
Your Big Farm team
EN1 & SKN1
(+ DE, PL, RU, SK)We were aware that some cooperatives in the lower leagues on the following servers - DE, PL, RU, EN, SK and SKN, were also affected by the issue, and we have added rewards to those who were eligible for the rewards.
Since it was difficult for us to state each case, we have created reward packages, depending on the leagues and ranking positions, and they are equivalent to the rewards that the event offers. So, every player has been eligible to receive those rewards will be informed via an in-game message, which tells what type of rewards they get.
Seaweed feed x 100,
Seaweed humus x 5,
to all eligible players.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Everyone,

the event will begin at 10:00am CET Today!
Apologies for the last minute warning!
Confusion about FL & CHWE
Hello Farmers,
As you might have already noticed, the current Cooperative Hardworker Event has not been counting towards the Farmers League, which is an intended game behaviour. There will not be any further medal payout for this run of the FL. Therefore, the CHWE has already stopped counting points towards the FL.
Each run of the Farmers League has a certain number of the medal payout days, 42-43 days depending on each run. Since there was a double payout on 27th Oct due to the change from the summertime to wintertime, the current FL has already covered all payout days.
Please note that you don't need to contact our support team regarding this case.
We apologise for the confusion caused.
Your Community Team
Hello Farmers
We are aware of the issue with the Co-op activity reward payout, which has been happening since the event started at 14:30 CET today. Unfortunately, we will not be able to fix the cause while the event is running, due to other considerations.
Please be aware that although the challenge support reward appears to be owned right after a challenge is triggered, the rewards should be paid out correctly at the end of the challenge.
You do not need to contact our support regarding this issue, and we will be communicating via our community forums.
Thank you for your support, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Village Fair Activity Reward Compensation & Missing Ranking Rewards
Hello Farmers
As we already mentioned in the last announcement, the previous Village Fair had some issues with the Co-op activity reward payout for the first two days of the event run.
On Monday this week, we implemented a hotfix whereby the activity rewards have been paid out correctly ever since.
Regarding the unpaid activity rewards for the first two days of the event, unfortunately, we are not able to grant reward items depending on your Co-op due to some technical limitations we have. Therefore, we would like to offer a compensation package depending on your farm level.
The packages are as follows:
We do not know exactly when the packages will be credited, but there will be a pop-up to inform you at the time.
We are also aware of some issue with the Co-op ranking reward payout at the end of the event today (13/11/2019) and some cooperatives across all servers have not received their reward yet. We are investigating the situation and discussing how to deal with the cases, we will inform you about how we will make up for the issue once it becomes clear.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused during the VF event.
Your Big Farm Team
The crediting of the VF compensation packages was not working correctly & has been stopped & postponed until tomorrow.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
The sending out of the compensation packages was resumed this morning and here is what we know so far:
From where the list stopped yesterday, all remaining players (who scored points in the event) will be sent the smallest package.
The team are still working on who will get the bigger packages & then they will send out additional packages for the difference between the smallest one & the one that you should have.
Players who get the biggest package, should get slightly more items than we announced yesterday.
New Northern Lights Farm is here!
Hello Farmers,
The frosty mornings have arrived and it is getting a bit too cold outside to start off early in the fields, its proving much easier to stay nice and toasty in the bed! It’s even worse on the Northern Lights Farm, where we need to keep our fields and stables going all day everyday, even though the sun is hidden below the horizon! Instead, we have a rare treat that most people don’t get to see: the beautiful northern lights dancing across the sky. In the perpetual darkness of winter, so your farm is always lit up by them!
Don’t let yourself get too bothered by the icy temperatures! As long as you are productive, it keeps your body nice and warm! I am sure that it would also lead your farm business to success!
Just like the Viking Farm, the Northern Lights Farm has been revamped. You will see all sorts of fantastic changes in a similar vein to those on the Viking Farm.
The new Northern Lights Farm is starting today!
Rewards
Winter Cottage.
The top 5 will have the chance to get a new “Versatile fruit plantation”
which can produce citrus fruits or olives on the flower farm.
The top 10 will have the change to get a choosable reward that offers
“Northern Lights Duck Coop” or “Northern Lights Donkey Stable”.
And, the top-ranking rewards are now extended to the top 1000 farmers.
So, you will have more chances to win!
The discussion thread for this event is HERE
ACTIVITY REWARD COMPENSATION PACKAGES:
We have been informed that the the packages should have all now been sent out, but we have also had reports from some high level players that they have only received the lowest level package & not the additional one for their level. The team are going to investigate this on Monday, so, for now:
If you were active in the Village fair & have still not received your compensation or have only received part of it, please post HERE
MISSING RANKING REWARDS
Due to the delays dealing with the activity rewards, the team were unable to complete the work on the missing ranking rewards before the weekend, but they are compiling a list of the coops that did not get their rewards & will be addressing that next week too.
If your coop did not get their ranking rewards from the Village fair, you should be on the list, but we would also suggest that the coop leader sends in a ticket, on behalf of the whole coop, and includes in it:
Thank you!

Northern Lights Farm Wheel of Fortune (WoF) issue
Hello Farmers
We are aware of the issue with the Northern Lights Farm's Wheel of fortune (WoF event) where the reward decoration on the Jackpot round has not been granted. We will be fixing the issue with a hotfix today, and after the fix is applied, the correct decoration will be paid out on the Jackpot round from then onwards.
For those who have not received the reward decoration up till that point (ie, since the current WoF started), we are currently planning a compensatory payout. We will be following up with more details regarding the compensation, in a later announcement.
Please note that you do not need to contact our support regarding this issue, and we will be communicating via our community forums.
Thank you for your support, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Your Big Farm Team
Just an update to let you know what is happening with the Village Fair rewards:
Activity Rewards
The team are still working on the issues that some players have with the compensation packages.
Ranking Rewards
The list of affected coops has been completed & we are now just waiting for a date/time for this to be fixed.
- Affected coops will received their reward according to their ranking.
- Internal coop rewards cannot be paid out according to their coop internal ranking, therefore, members will be getting the following package: 70 seaweed fertilizer, 6 seaweed humus and 5 gold mystery boxes.
the VF ranking reward compensation has just started.
Affected coops will receive their correct reward and each member will get a small package as a replacement of the internal coop ranking reward (as mentioned in the post above this one).
Discover a new Goldfish Rescue
I’ve just been approached by the owner of the pet shop. There has been an accident at the shop! Their store was flooded and all their goldfish found their way into the river surrounding your farms!
I caught a couple of goldfish already, but there are still many more to rescue and we could do with more help to catch them all. Can you and your Co-op members help? If so, I promise to offer you some Goldfish coins as activity and ranking rewards.
The owner of the pet shop has just opened another store in the combine trader at the event parking area. I am working at the shop. You can exchange your coins for plenty of fantastic items and a themed building "Maritime apiary".
The Goldfish rescue starts Today!
Yours, Lana from Big Farm
