FarmVille Releases

FarmVille has been teasing us quite a lot these last few weeks with news of the FarmVille English Countryside and all the little sneak peeks that we have been receiving! (See postcards from Charlie & Agatha)

We have now received another brand new postcard from “Angus” who says that he sees “Sheep breeding” in our future! Do you think this could be a hint that we will be getting a home for our sheep soon?

Angus also hints that we will be able to make different colored sheep! And in order for us to get started, we have all been given a Spotted Sheep! (which we can also share with neighbors)

Note: Unreleased items have no official release date or guarantee that they will make it to the FarmVille

Check out a brand new Showcase Video featured by FarmVille! This Fairy Tale themed Showcase features items that we are yet to see in this release!

You may notice that there are 5 different animals that are shown!

Yet another FarmVille scam is circulating the Facebook news feed. This time, the Kung Fu Duck is the bait, so beware.

The picture above is what the news feed share would look like on your Facebook wall. On closer speculation you can see for yourself that it has all the signs that classify it as a scam and this being one of the more noticeable ones with its highly pixelated botched image. It starts out with an incorrect spelling of FarmVille’s preferred “Yeehaw”. Then the text’s description, grammar, and capitalization is off. Finally, take a look next to the FarmVille corn icon at the bottom left. You will notice that the source of the share is not FarmVille, instead it is sourced via “Get the Kung FU Duck”.

After clicking the fake share, another pop-up notification is triggered that asks you if you would like to adopt the Kung Fu Duck. Obviously this animal is not available for adoption. Currently, the Kung Fu Duck is featured exclusively in the FarmVille Mystery Game. You cannot purchase it directly in the FarmVille Market nor is it available anywhere else and certainly not by a free adoption (no matter what Facebook group you join or link you click). Why would Zynga give out a duck that is a Mystery Game exclusive for free when players are spending precious Farm Cash (per Mystery Game dart) to take their chances at owning one?

The FarmVille news feed scams have been rampant as of late (See FarmVille Visit England scam or FarmVille Charming Foal scam ). So if you like to scour the Facebook news feed for bonuses, freebies, and adoptables, please take caution before clicking like a mad farmer.

Once again FarmVille Freak would like to remind you that no Facebook group is sanctioned to give out free in-game FarmVille items, especially through legitimate FarmVille shares. Any link that promises to do so is falsely using the rare special item bait to get you to join or accept their app, group, or program. Think about the logistics of how a third party group would automatically send you an in-game item. Not possible. Not only are these groups fake and fruitless as you never get the promised reward prize, many contain mal-ware that can harm your computer.

Sadly, these are not the only scams and there will certainly be more before we can even talk about them on here. We’d like to invite you to share this article with your less informed FarmVille neighbors. Oftentimes it’s the newbie farmers that fall victim to these scams and the best way to prevent them from doing so is to educate them. So be a good neighbor and instead of deleting them from your friend’s list why not share this article?

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your long hair! An all new Limited Edition building, the Princess Tower, with its flowing blond hair seeping out the window and down the length of the building, is an ode to the Brothers Grimm fairy tale Rapunzel.

Any FarmVille princess is sure to love this building made especially for princesses even if you don’t have long flowing hair it will still look fabulous on your farm. Even more good news, you will also appreciate its price tag – this building is actually available for Farm Coins!

The FarmVille Princess Tower is part of an all new Fairy Tale theme that debuted tonight. It will be available for purchase in the FarmVille Market until March 3, 2011. There are also some decorations and two new animals, so be sure to check them out as well.

Tonight, just in time for Groundhog Day, a FarmVille Groundhog has hit the FarmVille Market.

You can purchase the Limited Edition Groundhog decoration for 18 Farm Cash during the next 13 days in the FarmVille Market. This is a decorative animal that features an animated Groundhog. It cannot be harvested for coins.

Note to veteran FarmVille Freaks, this is the exact same Groundhog decoration that came out last year in FarmVille 2010. You can visit last year’s post on FarmVille Freak by clicking here.

Farmville: Unreleased Valentine Chocolate Fountain

Taking a brief break from Valentine’s Day celebrations, FarmVille remembers that is is also Lunar New Year and commemorates the occasion by updating Mystery Game prizes. An all new Lunar New Year themed Mystery Game has hit the FarmVille Market. This Mystery Game will cost 16 Farm Cash and will be available until February 7th 2011 in the FarmVille Market.

Note, because the China Pagoda and New Year Rabbit were briefly in the FarmVille Market a few days ago, they are not in this Mystery Game. 

The following are confirmed prizes for this Mystery Game. We would like to thank FarmVille Freak Moderator HatchetHolic for your help at finding these prizes.
