Hey Folks! Welcome to this week’s installment of the Official FarmVille Podcast! I’m sure by now that most of you know who I am, but for any new listeners stopping by; my name is Lexilicious and I am in charge of all things Community over here on the FarmVille team. As most of you know, we had a pretty crazy day today with our latest release. Because of that, today’s podcast will be a little shorter than normal. But never fear farmers, this week we will still be going to be going over our new releases, and you guys are all going to get a sneak peek of things coming to FarmVille in the near future.
So this week was pretty jam packed with new updates. First and foremost, we continued to release more Limited Edition St. Patrick’s day and French Chateau themed items. An awesome new St. Patrick’s day Themed Mystery Box also made an appearance on Tuesday along with three new Limited Edition Crops. The shamrock crop, the green hellebores and green roses can now be purchased from the Market for a limited amount of time.
As promised in last week’s podcast, we also introduced new ways for our users to communicate with their friends and neighbors. Upon signing into FarmVille, you will notice a new icon in the upper right hand corner of the application. Clicking on this button will open the new Comment Box.
The new Comment Box allows your Neighbors to leave you comments. In addition to this, you can leave comments on your own wall that you and your Neighbors can see.
If you click the Icon when you are on your own farm, you will be able to view comments that your Neighbors have left for you. Comments will fill in the comments section in the order they were placed. Clicking on the “Visits” tab in your comment box will allow you to see who has visited your farm, fertilized your crops, fed your chickens and sent gifts sent to you in your absence.

Our last big feature this week is something that seems to be very popular with our community. You can now build your very own decorative La Maizon building!
The Maison foundation can be purchased from the Buildings section of Market for 5,000 Coins.
Once you’ve placed the Foundation on your farm, you will be prompted with a message letting you know that you can post a feed to ask you friends for help building your Maison. Clicking the "Share" button will give you the option to post a feed to your wall asking your Neighbors for help.
In order to complete your Maison, you’ll need to finish building it. Selecting ‘Look Inside’ from your foundation’s menu will show you what you need to complete your Maison. When you first place the foundation, you’ll have one Slate Tile already. In order to build a complete La Maison you’ll need 10 of each item. You can get these items one of two ways:
Your Neighbors will be able to send you two of the five types of building components to help you complete your building.
The two components displayed on the Free Gifts Page are randomized. As such, the components displayed on the Free Gifts Page may be different for each user.
You can purchase components required to build your Maison from the Market for 1 Farm Cash per item.
When you reach 25 items, you’ll receive pop-up that will allow you to post a feed to your wall. The first ten neighbors to click this feed will receive a random building component for their own Maison construction.
You are only be able to have ONE buildable Maison on your Farm. Alternatively, you can have an infinite number of the Maisons if they are purchased with Farm Cash.
Since many of these features are quite significant changes to FarmVille, we would love to hear your feedback.

FarmVille Podcast - Marh 5th' 2010
Howdy Farmers!
Here is the latest FarmVille Podcast release by Zynga on March 5th' 2010:-
Highlights of FarmVille Podcast - Mar 5th
Complete Transcription of FarmVille Podcast - Mar 5th
Hey Farmers! Welcome to the Official FarmVille podcast! My name is Lexilicious, and I am the FarmVille Community Manager. This week, we are going to be going over some of our newest releases, I will be answering some User Submitted Questions about the FarmVille team and you guys are all going to get a sneak peek of things coming to FarmVille in the near future.
Well, St Patrick’s Day is just about here, and this week, FarmVille was really celebrating in style., On Thursday, we introduced the new Pot of Gold feature, bringing with it the ability to send your friends and Neighbors Gold Pieces! Now, I’m sure you guys will be extra excited to know that these Gold Pieces can be redeemed for special items.
Upon opening your Gift Box, you will find a free Pot of Gold waiting for you. Simply place your Mailbox on your farm and let the fun begin! If you "look inside" your Mailbox, you will be able to keep track of how many Gold Pieces you have collected and how you compare to your friends.
In order to collect Gold Pieces, you’ll have to receive them from friends. Clicking the ‘Ask for Gold’ button will allow you to send a single Gold Piece to any of your friends and give them the chance to send you one in return. You can also send Gold Pieces to your friends via the Free Gifts Page.
As you collect Gold Pieces, you will be able to redeem them for special St Patrick’s Day themed items. The more Gold Pieces you collect, the better the reward!
For every 5 Gold Pieces you collect, you’ll be able to post a Feed to your wall that will give your Neighbors a chance to collect a free Gold Piece. 10 Neighbors will be able to collect one free Gold Piece when clicking on the feed within 24 hours.
As you collect Gold Pieces, you will notice that your Pot of Gold’s progress bar increases. As your progress bar increases, your pot will change appearance. If you're interested in seeing how you compare to your Neighbors, clicking ‘Progress’ in the Pot of Gold menu will show how many Gold Pieces you have in comparison to your friends.
There are also now new ways to find fuel for your vehicles! In addition to purchasing fuel and discovering it in Mystery Gifts or Eggs, you are now able to find fuel while plowing your Farm and when fertilizing a Neighbor’s farm.
When plowing on your own farm, you have a chance to find fuel once per day.
When you find fuel on your farm, you can share this fuel with your Neighbors by posting a feed to your wall. Up to 150 of your neighbors will be able to click this feed once to get fuel of their own.
After clicking the feed, they will be taken to a page that will inform them of how much fuel they have earned. The amount of fuel your Neighbor will receive from clicking on a feed is determined by how many plots they have on their farm. The more plots they have, the larger the amount of fuel they’ll receive. This fuel is added directly to their overall tank.
When fertilizing your Neighbors’ farms, you have a chance to find fuel that you can use on your own farm.
When this fuel is found, it will appear as a fuel canister rising up from the ground, much like the coin you see when plowing or seeding your land. Fuel that is found from Fertilizing is added directly to your overall fuel tank. The amount of fuel you receive is also determined by how many plots you have on your farm. Essentially, The more plots you have, the larger the amount of fuel you will receive. You can find fuel once for each neighbor’s farm that you fertilize. However, at a certain point while fertilizing your neighbor’s farms, you may notice that you are no longer finding fuel. In order to find more fuel, you’ll need to use some of the fuel that you’ve gained to make room for more.
However, In order to balance out the new ways that we’ve added to find fuel, we’ve slowed down the rate at which fuel naturally regenerates. All farms will be able to regenerate a full tank of fuel over time, but now this rate is determined by how many plots of land you have on your farm. The more plots you have on your farm, the quicker your fuel regenerates.
The new fuel feature is a pretty big change to FarmVille, and as with all of our big releases, we want to hear your feedback. If you have any opinions you would like to share, please make sure to visit the official FarmVille forums or www.farmville.com.
Now, before jumping into some questions from our users, I have some exciting information about the new FarmVille Game cards! In addition to Gamestop, FarmVille Game Cards can now be found in 7-11 and Best Buy! These cards are not only an easy way to get some extra Farm Cash, they are also great gifts for any friends or family you may have who love FarmVille.
And once again, it's time for some player submitted questions. Players from our forums submit questions to us everyday, and the best ones get answered here. So without any further adieu, onto our first question, from Onrie. Onrie writes, "Is Farm of the Week judged based on fancy designs with hay bales and stuff or are you looking at overall good-looking farms?"
This has been a pretty hot topic ever since we started our Farm of the Week event, and to answer you, the Farm of the Week can be just about any of the things you mentioned, so long as it's a very well-done farm. So far, the farms that we have select have not used any haybale art, but if we happen to see farm that makes something with haybales that really stands out with, then they could be eligible to win. The only hard and fast rule to winning the Farm of the Week is to have a good-looking farm, but there are many different ways to make a farm that's good-looking. With the Farm of the Week, we're looking for all of them, so everyone has an equal chance to win. If you'd like to enter, just visit the FarmVille Landscaping section of our forums for more details.
Our next question comes to us from, HenryRex. "I opened a chest, which gave me "Farm Hands". What does that mean? Do I get people, (Farmhands) to help me? Are these "hands" that will milk my cows, manually? What is it?"
Well Henry, Farm Hands are a special consumable item that instantly harvests all the ready animals that you have on your farm that aren't in a building. But they've only good for one time for each Farm Hand you have. So, if you've got lots of animals to tend to on your farm that are ready to go, just click the Use button and all your animals are harvested instantly. You can find them from tending to your Horse Stable, and they can be purchased from the Market for 5 Farm Cash a piece. Just as a reminder, whenever we release a new item or feature in FarmVille, you can get more information about how it works from the Game Updates subsection of the Updates and Announcements section of our forums. There are guides and other important notes on every one of our major releases.
Alright everyone! I think it’s just about time to get into the coming soon segment of this week’s podcast!
Now, do you guys ever find yourselves looking for new ways to communicate with your neighbors? Are sign posts just not cutting it for you anymore? Well, never fear Farmers. We will soon be releasing new features that will allow you to better communicate with your neighbors in-game!
In addition to this, we are also putting a lot of effort into fine tuning Mastery, Achievements and leveling. You will notice in the near future that the requirements to master crops and gain Achievements will be adjusted.
And lastly, we all know St Patrick’s Day is fast approaching. In order to celebrate accordingly, we will be releasing new St Patrick’s Day themed Mystery Box Limited Edition items!
And I think that’s about it for this week! Again, my name is Lexilicious and I will see you guys soon! Happy Farming everybody.

In addition to this, we are also putting a lot of effort into fine tuning Mastery, Achievements and leveling. You will notice in the near future that the requirements to master crops and gain Achievements will be adjusted.
And lastly, we all know St Patrick’s Day is fast approaching. In order to celebrate accordingly, we will be releasing new St Patrick’s Day themed Mystery Box Limited Edition items!
And I think that’s about it for this week! Again, my name is Lexilicious and I will see you guys soon! Happy Farming everybody.
