Farm Town

 I started playing Farm Town via Facebook around 2009. It was fun at first. Every month they issued a new farm. I could buy them with farm coins. They added new facilities, and shops. I could buy the coin ones and some farm cash dollar ones. They came up with farm expansions. Early on I learned, via neighbors how to cheat ~ created layered farms. A Slash Key glitch. Slash Key forum frowned upon the practice but did not label it cheating.

They also stacked farms. Farm would have plots for crops; on top of that would be trees; on top of that would be rivers/seacoasts, and on top of that buildings. I layered one farm. Too much work for me. Instead of playing the game by rules, they spent hours creating stacked and layered farms. Those that did this leveled up so fast, I was left way behind. Not that it is a contest, but...

To keep the game interesting, I would try to catch up to the person who was one level above me. Soon people 5 levels below me were passing me by. 

At first I enjoyed playing; I built theme farms. Someone told me "it is like you are telling a story." That is exactly what I was doing using, the houses, and decorations. When I bought my 13 farm, I named it LLL in honor of my daughter born on the 13th of July. I uses snow cover ground and made it all about Christmas ~ she so loves the holiday.

I used the characters to represent family having snowball fight, building snow people, skating. I was a non working farm ~ purely for decor ~ like playing with a doll house. Later I simply became bored with the daily routine, plant crops, harvest, trees, flowers, fishing, to start producing products to put in retail outlets. 

So I quit playing. Time waster.
