Amen, I love this game and I am as you just chill and have fun and don't spend what I can't afford to lose. For some anniversaries I've got a pyramid of keys gifted by my relatives as they know I love this game so much :) I am to invest such gifts on my farm in the future to make it stronger and not on a single item. For most things/ keys I just play. Taking care of my priced animals allows me to exchange ribbons for pat locks and nails to upgrade my barn and eventually my silo. Farmville is like knitting for me if it would be so frustrating to me as I read here I would not play anymore. Not everything works always perfect. I played for a Forest Cat and stage two never started but what software does work fluently and always. The problem starts I think when someone invests more money/ keys or time than they can afford to lose. Thank you from me as well Zynga for this gorgeous game :) Chalinna

Hi Natalie, I was just told that there is a break of around 24 hours. I too won stage one and am anxious to start phase two. I am in the same timzone as you so I think it should start around 00.00 this night. This is when stage one ended yesterday for me. I hope all will go well :) When I played for the Forest Cat phase two never started for me so I take in calculation that it can fail. Keeping fingers crossed :) Chalinna

Oh thanks! :) I didn't know it isn't supposed to start yet. Any idea when it should be rolled out? Chalinna

Thank you Lilyboo! :) Your strategy makes so much sense! :) I am going to spend keys more wisely and invest in a stronger farm rather than spending them on a specific leaderboard item. It seems you've picked your targets wisely. Chalinna

Dear Zynga, Stage two did not start for me ID: 38426333139 I've force closed the game and rebooted my IPad but sadly no success. I hope you can help me! :) Chalinna

I have the same Vanessa I hope Zynga will fix this for us.

Dear Zynga, I am very happy with my new cat I won in stage one of this leaderboard event! Sadly, and I hope you can help me, stage two is not available in my game. Thank you in advanced! :) Game ID: 38426333139 iOS iPad 5 & iPhone 5

Hallo! :) The gloeilampen heb je nodig mocht je de capaciteit van de veranda, waar je items van je farm kan opbergen, willen uitbreiden. Ik hoop dat dit helpt! Chalinna

I like to be able to reserve certain items in request for a certain co-op member but perhaps it needs a timer for it to be co-op only. It might be also cool if we were able to send items to co-op members via an other way just so it does not disturb the global/ open market. Thank you for considering! :) I have received my cat but the second stage of the event did not start in my game so sadly I can't continue. It seems the event area as well as the crafting machine for even items is cleared out. I only have a tent left in the entrance of my farm other than that the decorations for this event are gone. Event items are obtained by the game as well and I already saw an announcement for the next event.

Thank you for being happy for me that is very nice to hear! :) And since everyone else is thinking that it is a bad functionality (as you claim it) I think they will not use it just as you. That way you can buy the good stuff which is not exclusive for the co-op from likeminded people. I think everyone is entitled to have their own opinion and my initial reaction was mine. Our co-op is not so exclusive it has open enrollment and it is a nice co-op we accept all levels nothing special about it actually.

Thank you for your high regards towards me that I have ruined the open market for everyone. In fact I am just an other player. F.U. .??? Aren't you properly raised or so?

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to sell two items at the time to our co-op members only! :) I am most greatful for that because nothing is more frustrating if we made something to help eachother out and it is taken by an other person. This is great! :)

So true :) As a cats person IRL I am happy to see more felines! :) And these challenges are always fun, thank you Zynga :))

Not every long time player is the same :) I am at level 75 (the highest level) and still hang around and help newer people in my co-op just because I love this game so much and like to help out at the same time. Of course I hope some higher levels than 75 will be created in the long run so I can play myself again. Just thought to chime in that complaining is not per se level related :)

Hi Gerry, Ik ken het probleem en ik weet ook dat het onoplosbaar is. Ik heb het een keer gehad maar ik had gelukkig een backup die ik kon terugzetten op mijn iPhone terwijl ik speel op iPad. Nadat dit gebeurd is maak ik er een gewoonte van 1 of 2 keer per dag een backup op mijn iPhone te maken van mijn vorderingen via iCloud. Het is helaas een probleem waar Zynga vanaf weet "account rollback" en ik weet niet of ze deze bug al hebben kunnen fixen. Ik ben bang dat zij geen backup van onze farms hebben. Sterkte ermee! Chalinna

before the event started we saw in round 3 milk was needed as it was displayed on the box of round 3. Our co-op therefore has prepared and stocked up butter and milk. Suddenly this changed to strawberry products. It would have been convenient to know this up front because strawberries grow really slow and much is needed in the variety of products. We could have stocked strawberries up if we knew and have more chance to compkete this challenge. Other than that I love this event design and this may be something for Zynga to take in calculation in other events :)

I know all people in my co-op some are vocal some are more silent but they are there. Also I know when someone takes a break for a variety of reasons. I know the times they play and I know we can count on one and other. Yesterday I've removed some people I used to 'see' and participate who became inactive. My co-op always picks up a challenge when it is presented because activity is key and also stated in our motto. If one can't be in game for what ever reason I know that and I surely would not remove such person. The more members a co-op has the higher the amount of points the event asks from us. It is not cruel to clean house it is cruel to let my members struggle to win a challenge which can't be won due to inactivity of too many people. Everyone can have their own rules in the co-op, I explicitly ask for helpful and active people in the motto so that is what is expect them to be.

I agree finally value for our coins I don't like to be maxed out on coins :)

I love this co-op challenge it took some courage to remove the inactive or people who do not partipate but it is fun! :) People get to chat with one and other again ask for things, trading again just very nice! I hope you'll organize more co-op challenges if only for us co-op founders to determin more easily who is still active and not. There are lots of people out there who would love a lively co-op and are very happy they can join such group of people. This is by far the best way to sort out which people should go due to inactivity and who should stay.

Yesterday I did some householding in our co-op removed inactive players and opened the group which is normally closed for new members and today we achieved the challenge. It is really worth it if co-op founders clean house and open up for new and enthousiastic people. It is a joy to see how happy people are with what they've achieved as a group! :)

Co-op: "International Farmers" can still have 5 new people from around the world. We are on track as for this co-op challenge. I remove not participating and/ or helping players regulary. Feel free to join us or monitor for free spaces our co-op has no open enrollment. All levels are equally welcome name and picture is requiered. I hope to meet you in game! :)

I'd like to suggest a feature which comes across during this event. What if things we put for sale remain for a set time only available for purchase within the co-op. Especially items we price default or lower than the default price. This would help a lot to exchange goods to our co-op members only if this is requiered. Higher priced items are clearly posted from a business angle and can appear directly on the global market. I hope this is possible to implement. Thank you for considering this! :)

Yes, we have plenty of new people too and they urge stamps. We accept people as soon as they can join a co-op no minimum level for them. It is indeed a joy to see they really are beyond excited about this event :) I like the fact that this is encouraging teambuilding as well.

Aww, thank you and likewise! :)

I have all stamps I need and do not have more things I can buy from them. I am so happy though that I can help, via this way, co-op members who work hard for stamps and struggle daily with Eddy's orders. Many times I wished I could transfer my stamps to those who need them most and this event is ideal to indirectly do so! This is no solo event but rather one that is encouraging the community feel and I love this idea :)
