FarmVille English Countryside Sneak Peek: Meet Olivia the Pub Keeper

Another FarmVille English Countryside character has been revealed, and it looks like she can party with the best of them. Olivia, the Pub Keeper, has shown herself to the masses and is ready for you to help her make her pub the best in England. Zynga revealed Olivia to the FarmVille world with this: "I'm Olivia the Pub Keeper. I have all kinds of new recipes to craft, only available in the English Countryside! Just need a smart farmer to help me make this pub into the hottest spot in England!" It appears that the Pub will be a new crafting building in EC in which players create beers and wines. The amount of information and the speed at which it's being released has reached a fever pitch, so we can't be far from a release now.

FarmVille English Countryside trailer released (with Queen's permission)

Alright, so we doubt this new English Countryside trailer had to be green-lighted by the Queen of England herself, but it's here nonetheless. Zynga released a brand new trailer to FarmVille fans recently, touting the list of perks and new features you'll find in this expansion. The trailer takes on a TV commercial style, and with a giant poster in Times Square, it wouldn't be surprising to see it on the old boob tube soon. Unfortunately, the trailer doesn't provide new details, but it sure does fuel the hype.

FarmVille English Countryside: Wildflowers blow in, give precious XP

FarmVille is so advanced, it plants crops for you! We kid (obviously), but this discovery within the English Countryside is certainly interesting. FarmVille Freak has received reports--and replicated it themselves--that Wildflowers will randomly grow on freshly plowed land when away from the game. Of course, the land has to be free of any plants, but still a darn cool feature for when you know you might be away from the game for a while. Especially considering that harvesting the flowers is worth 100 coins and 1 XP a plot. Think of the new Wildflowers as lessening the sting of being away from your English farm for too long. Pausing the new farm to protect your crops? Fuhgeddaboudit.
