FarmVille English Countryside is here and we’re sure you have a lot of burning questions about how it impacts you, how to get there, and what you need to know. Here are some answers! Q: How do I start getting the quests to go to English Countryside? A: If you qualify (must be Level 20) you’ll get a pop-up with the text, “Look! Up in the Sky!” An animation of a crashing Airship will happen, and you’ll start the quests on getting the Airship fixed and will soon you’ll be able to go to England. The quest icons show on the left-hand side of the FarmVille game window. Q: I’m not seeing the Airship crash animation. What's wrong? A: It may take awhile to load on your system, or there may be cases where it can get “stuck” before playing. If you refresh the game and wait a little bit, the animation should play. Q: Do I have to go to England? A: No! You don’t have to complete any of the quests and you can continue on your own farm at any time you want. We want you to go to England to experience all the new features, items, and quests but you don’t have to. Q: Is storage universal between farms? Can I transfer items between farms? A: Storage is not universal between farms. Each farm has its own individual unique storage space. Once an item is placed on one farm, it cannot be moved to the other farm. Q: What about the Gift Box? A: Many items stored in the Gift Box can be placed/used on either farm. This includes many decorations, buildings and animals. Unique quest items, collections, and certain consumables may only be used on one of the farms, depending on the item. This also means purchases made from the Model Farm, which go straight into the Gift Box, can then be added to whichever farm you wish. Once you place that item, however, it cannot be moved to the other farm. Q: When I visit one farm my crops and trees don’t grow in my other farm. A: Inactive farms—the farm that you are currently not on—are Paused while you work on your active farm. Crops won’t wither, but they won’t grow either. Timers on animals, buildings, trees and other objects will also not advance until you go back to that farm. Q: The “Cotton To It” quest requires me to plant and harvest 50 Cotton crops before finishing. This is unfair! A: The quest requires you to just plant the Cotton, not to harvest it. Q: Why do I need to add 35 neighbors before I can go to England with the Bon Voyage Party? A: You don’t need to add any neighbors to qualify for the Bon Voyage Party, you just need to invite 35 (and they need to accept the invitation) in order to go instantly. You only need to have 4 neighbors to come to your party in order to start the 4-day countdown timer, and 15 neighbors are needed to be eligible to go in 2 days. Alternatively you can pay Farm Cash to skip this set altogether. Q: Will the England quests expire? A: No they won’t. Q: Where can I get a ram to start sheep breeding? A: You can get a ram by starting the Sheep Pen quests on your English Farm; finishing the “Et Tu, Brutus?” quest will get you Brutus the Ram, which you can breed with. Other rams can be acquired by purchase in the Market or through your neighbor’s feeds if they are sharing newly bred rams. Q: Do I need to buy Farm Cash sheep in order to breed? A: You can breed with most types of sheep; they don’t need to have been purchased in the Market. Q: Why are the lamb colors produced by sheep breeding totally random? A: The colors (and potential patterns) aren’t totally random, but they are based on a range of colors based on each of the parents. Q: Where can I learn more about Sheep breeding? A: Check out our Sheep Pen guide at http://forums.zynga.com/showthread.php?t=964444 for all the details! Q: How come I can’t sheep breed on my Home Farm yet? A: We’ll be adding this ability at some point in the future. Q: People are sending me Postcards for the “Make It Your Own” quest but they’re not registering as progress. A: The Postcards are stored in your Gift Box—you need to look in your Gift Box, then choose “Use” to apply them towards your quest goal. Q: I can’t see my neighbor’s Home Farm when I visit. Why not? A: When you visit a neighbor’s farm, you can only see the farm they are currently active on—the Home Farm or the English Farm. You can see which they are on in the neighbor bar—a flag will denote if they are on the English Farm or not. Q: I finished all the quests. Now what? A: Stay tuned! There’s a lot more coming to English Countryside in the near future!
