FarmVille England Expansion saga continues

Back in the January 24 official FarmVille podcast, FarmVille community manager Lexilicious and her British friend Charles offered us a very quick sneak peek of new foreign content that would be added to the game. At the time, that was all we had to go on, but shortly thereafter, a sign advertising a trip to England was spotted as an unreleased image.

Now, that same sign has appeared on all farmers' land, similar to the CityVille billboard that appeared a few weeks ago. Does this sign mean we'll be able to travel to England in the incredibly near future? One would believe so. Clicking on the sign gives us a few slight details (although still vague) about this new expansion. Note: You can remove the sign by clicking on it and then clicking on the "Remove sign from farm?" toggle at the bottom of the pop-up window.

We're told that this feature will give us a "whole new way to play" FarmVille, and that it will indeed be a full "England Expansion." Furthermore, news, official sneak peeks, prizes, and more will be coming to the game "soon" to give us more details about what this entire expansion will entail.

As it stands, we're still fairly in the dark concerning this new expansion, but if assumptions hold true, this is looking to be an incredibly large feature in the game, so we can't wait to see what officially comes of it.

What are your theories concerning this new expansion? Do you think it will simply be a new neighbor to visit, or will there actually be activities to participate in once we get there?

FarmVille Trees Sneak Peek: Oak Tree & Yew Tree

It seems that Zynga has really heard users that were clamoring for more realistic trees in FarmVille, as it appears that the next two trees to launch in the game will be the Oak Tree, and the Yew Tree; that is, if this newest set of unreleased images is to be believed (we have no reason to think that these items won't release, but remember nothing is official).

These two trees look to be "masterable," as there are two mastery signs to go along with them. Will they be released in the upcoming English Countryside theme? Most likely, so make sure to save up your Farm Cash so that you can afford to have these trees on both of your farms when the time comes (if you choose to buy more than one, of course).

Do you like the trend of realistic trees in FarmVille, or are you eagerly awaiting the release of more whimsical/make-believe trees in the future?

FarmVille Animal Sneak Peek: Black Shire Horse, Mountain Goat, Robin Hood Duck & More

Can we say unreleased animals? I hope we can, because we've been overwhelmed by the huge amount of animals that will apparently be launching in FarmVille in the near future. While some of these animals look to be a part of the upcoming Mystery Game, others look to introduce a new sub-theme within the English Countryside limited edition item theme currently in the game.

The new animals, from left to right in the image at the top of this post, are the Black Shire Horse, Black Shire Foal, Mountain Goat, Wolverine, Robin Hood Duck, Gypsy King Horse, Gypsy King Foal, Pastel Purple Ewe, Pastel Green Ewe, Sonoran Pronghorn Deer (an endangered species), Burrowing Owl, and California Condor.

Note: We think the final two animals will likely be decorations, rather than actual animals, so plan ahead for that outcome.

As you can see, the sub-theme looks to be something along the lines of Robin Hood, or perhaps even King Arthur. There are other unreleased decorations which put further backing behind a potential medieval theme, so we'll make sure to keep a close eye on things and let you know when and if these animals start to become available.

In the meantime, let us know which of these animals you like most in the comments. Are you looking forward to a Knights of the Round Table-esque theme in FarmVille, or do you like these other animals more?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Royal Table, Sword in the Stone, Moat pieces & More

If you needed a confirmation that a new King Arthur / medieval theme would be coming to FarmVille in the future, then look no further. We've come across a whole slew of items that will allow you to build a moat, and then decorate your castle-themed area with tables, a blacksmith's shop, a large gate house, and even a magical sword trapped in stone.

The specific items are as follows: Moat I, Moat II, Moat III, Moat Left, Moat Right, Moat Bottom, Moat Top, Royal Table, Castle Gate House, the Sword in the Stone (may also be called Excalibur, or just a Sword Statue), and a Blacksmith Shed.

While there's no telling whether or not these items will be released as a separate theme, or just as part of the current English Countryside theme, I personally can't wait to turn my second farm in a medieval playground. We can only hope that castle building ingredients will be released along with this moat (don't worry, rumor has it that a bridge is being developed so we can cross this moat too), to make this an even more epic set of items than it already is.

What do you think of these new decorative items? Is there another sub-theme you would like to see released in the English Countryside instead?

FarmVille LE English Countryside Trees: Wild Cherry and Bird Cherry Trees

With tonight's FarmVille update, Zynga has stated that this is our "last chance" to pick up limited edition English Countryside items for both of our farms, and its sending the theme out with a bang by releasing two very lovely Cherry Trees. The Wild Cherry and Bird Cherry Trees are available for 5 and 10 Farm Cash each, respectively.

As usual, this is a case where patience is a virtue, as you can actually save 10 Farm Cash if you simply choose to wait for a Bird Cherry Tree to appear from a Mystery Seedling on your farm, rather than purchasing one outright from the store. Of course, if you don't collect trees, and simply wish to purchase one, you're more than welcome to do so as well.

Either way, these two trees will be available in the game for the next two weeks. Will we see any other English Countryside items released before they expire? That much isn't clear, due to Zynga's questionable wording, but we'll make sure to let you know what those items are if and when anymore are released.

What do you think of these Cherry Trees? Will you be sad to see the English Countryside item theme leave the market?

FarmVille LE English Countryside Animals: Hackney Horse & English Goat

With the latest FarmVille update, we've seen two (technically three) new animals released in the FarmVille marketplace. The two animals are the English Goat and the Hackney Horse. The third animal comes in, of course, from the Horse, as you will be able to breed the Hackney Horse for a Hackney Foal by placing the Horse in your Horse Stable.

But first, you'll have to get the horse itself onto your farm, which is done by purchasing it for 26 Farm Cash from the market (no one said horse collections were cheap). The English Goat, meanwhile, costs 14 Farm Cash, and personally, has one of the cutest little faces I've ever seen - just look at that mug!

Whether you choose to add to your horse collection, or add this friendly little goat to your farm(s), you'll only be able to do so for the next two weeks, when these animals (and apparently the entire limited edition English Countryside theme) will leave the store.

Have you been collecting the many limited edition English Countryside animals released over the past weeks? Which one is your favorite?

FarmVille LE English Countryside Decorations: English Hotel, Detective Gnome, Tower Bridge & More

Tonight's FarmVille update brought with it two new buildings and four new decorative items that are available to purchase from the in-game marketplace. Before we take a look at these items, though, we've been warned that this could be our last chance to pick up limited edition English Countryside items, so pay special attention as this could be the final wave or release.

That said, the two new buildings are the English Hotel and the Garden Cafe. These buildings offer both players that save Farm Cash and those that spend it something to add to their farms, as the English Hotel costs 35 Farm Cash (and is a very long, stately building surrounded by a fence), while the Garden Cafe costs 350,000 coins. That may sound like a high price, but this too is a very intricately designed item, with its own surrounding fence and two bistro tables sitting outside on a sort of makeshift patio. Both of these buildings reward you with 3,500 experience points when purchased.
Meanwhile, one of the four new decorations will allow those that are building (or have already built) a moat on their farm another piece to add to the proverbial puzzle. This item is the Tower Bridge, which costs 18 Farm Cash. As the name suggests, London's iconic bridge has been placed over a matching piece of moat from previous releases, allowing it to fit right in. The other Farm Cash item is the Detective Gnome, based off of Sherlock Holmes.

The two coin items are less meaningful (at least in terms of real-world inspirations), and come in the form of the Flower Statue, at 80,000 coins, and the Ornate Iron Fence that sells for 6,000 coins per piece. All four of these decorations, regardless of price, will be available in the store for the next two weeks. Again, this very well might be the last time we see limited edition English Countryside items released in the store, so shop now while you still can.

Would you be happy to see the English Countryside theme end? Are you ready to move onto other themes, or do you enjoy stocking your farm with these many international goodies?

FarmVille LE English Countryside Avatar Clothing: Butler and Royal Guard Costumes

Back in the middle of April, we gave you a sneak peek of two costumes that we thought would be launching in FarmVille in the near future. While it took these costumes a while to actually see a final release, with tonight's game update, we've finally been given the opportunity to dress our in-game avatars as either a Butler, or as a Royal Guard.

Both of these costumes are, of course, part of the current limited edition English Countryside theme, which the FarmVille team at Zynga has stated might be ending sooner, rather than later. That being the case, the matching 10 Farm Cash prices on both of these costumes might not seem like such a high price, since we know this theme won't be around forever. In fact, these two costumes will only be available in the store for the next two weeks. Will we see more female-oriented outfits released before these two expire? It's unlikely, but we'll make sure to let you know if we do.

What do you think of these two costumes? Had you been waiting for their release, or did you forget all about them (like I did)?
