FarmVille Scam: Industrial Plantation 66×66 Land Expansion Scam
farmville land expansion plantation scam
There is a new FarmVille scam on FaceBook. This scam promises to offer a "free" 66 x 66 Farm Expansion titled the "Industrial Plantation".
Before you click on any links or join any such groups, please use your common sense and think about how they would actually give you a land expansion for free. Not only is the offer NOT associated with FarmVille or Zynga, we all know that Land Expansions (of any size, even unreleased) are not giftable or sendable, so the logistics of this scam would never work.

If you would like to check the resource of misleading FaceBook newsfeed notices like these especially those that offer free items, simply right click on the image and "View Source" or "View Page Info". Real FarmVille newsfeed postings or shares can be identified by the referring URL that should start like this:
http://apps.facebook.com/onthefarm/
Example: http://apps.facebook.com/onthefarm/index.php?ref=rewardPage
From FarmVille Freak Mark:
"One of my neighbors posted a link which I was very doubtful of from the beginning, but went to just on the off chance it wasn't a lie. It was unfortunately a lie. Hardly surprising. It's from Gamesecrets and promises you can get the 66×66 Industrial Plantation by clicking their link.
After allowing the application access to your information you get a congratulations screen that says click here for your 66×66 farm! Sounds too good to be true? It is. You get a survey! Well I got a message saying there were no surveys for my country. I'm sure if there were any way to get a 66×66 farm, Zynga would have told us about it already. Just thought I'd pass this on so others don't waste their time!" -FarmVille Freak Mark
Thanks for sharing this info with us FarmVille Freak Mark. Remember, that if a new farm expansion were available you would hear it here first, on FarmVille Freak!

Mafia Wars Vegas VIP access: Casino chip racks + lots of luck = early access
Mafia Wars is turning on the promotion for the upcoming Las Vegas expansion, with a special Vegas event, called Whack the Rat Jimmy Vegas, this weekend, plus offering a lucky few VIP access to Sin City once the beta launches.
mafia wars las vegas VIP access
It'll take a little luck and a lot of Casino poker racks (available as a free gift sent from fellow mafiosos) to gain access to Mafia Wars Vegas early. To see if Lady Luck is on your side, you'll need to collect 50+ racks to get a 20% chance of winning early access and then visit the Las Vegas High Roller Access page (via the drop down Travel menu at the top of the page).
If you don't win, you'll get a popup that says 'Bad Luck' and have to wait 22 hours to try again. Ouch.
mafia wars bad luck
If you win aceess, you'll receive a notification that says "You're In," but won't be able to get into Mafia Wars Vegas right away. This just guarantees you'll be one of the first people to check it out once the beta actually launches, which doesn't have an exact release date, though I suspect it will be soon with all of this build-up.

So, this is all sort of a tease, but if you're dying to be one of the first to get their hands on Mafia Wars Las Vegas, start sending lots of Chip Racks to friends and encourage them to send them back.
Did you get early access to Mafia Wars Vegas? Were you PO'd that you can't actually access the game yet?

Google invests $100 million in Zynga, with plans to launch Google Games [Rumor]
Talk about Google's desire to get into the games business has been floating around for some time, and now a big, juicy rumor says the company is starting to invest big bucks in those plans -- dropping between $100-$200 million at Zynga's doorstep. TechCrunch, which initially published this rumor, says the purported deal has not been finalized yet, though part of it includes using FarmVille and other Zynga games as the foundation for Google Games.
Not only will Zynga's games give Google Games a solid base of social games to build on, but it will also give Google the beginning of a true social graph as users log into Google to play the games. And I wouldn't be surprised to see PayPal being replaced with Google Checkout as the primary payment option. Zynga is supposedly PayPal's biggest single customer, and Google is always looking for ways to make Google Checkout relevant.
While Google might be spending boucoup bucks to form a partnership with Zynga, it's not immediately clear how this will affect 60 million+ devoted FarmVillers. The farming game is already on Facebook, FarmVille.com and Yahoo -- what could Google possibly bring to the table that would make people migrate to Google Games? Outside of turning more people into click-farming junkies and offering access to the game via iGoogle and Gmail, it's hard to imagine what Google's killer app will be. Then again, thinking about tending virtual crops on an Android phone makes things (a little) more interesting.

Increase your Treasure Isle backpack space with balloons
Treasure Isle Hot Air Ballons
A new update rolled out in Treasure Isle over the weekend, which included the new Gem Mine, and also a slew of new hot air balloon decorations. These aren't your typically scenery-style decorations though; these balloons will grant you +10 to your backpack space! Does it get much better than that? My backpack is near full simply with all the collectibles I find doing Monkey Palace and the volcano. These balloons are a neat way to make your island look great, plus give you some added functionality of extra space. The drawback? They're 40 Island Cash each, so it will not be cheap to get your hands on one of these balloons. Here is the full list of new balloons:
Rainbow Balloon
Starry Balloon
Anvil Balloon
Steampunk Balloon
Strawberry Balloon
Checker Balloon
Kittens Balloon
Pink & Blue Balloon
The balloons are only available for a limited time - they will be leaving the store in 4 days. At this point, we're unsure if there is a limit on how many of these will affect your bag space. For example, if you buy 10 balloons will you get 100 more storage slots? If you're brave enough to spend lots of money on these and buy more than one, let us know how many additional bag spaces you unlock!

YoVille Cars guide: Everything you need to know
YoVille Cars
Cars are coming soon in YoVille! This is just a sneak preview guide, but we'll update it with the official prices and more information once this feature is live.
YoVille updated on its blog last week telling all the players that cars would be coming soon, but until now we haven't had any of the details to share with you. Now, a detailed blog post on the YoVille Official Blog has given us most of the information we needed to know. Here's everything you could ever want to know about the new YoVille cars!
At release, there will be several cars to choose from. These cars will most likely require YoCash, but the prices are unknown as of this post. One car, the Green Hybrid, will be available for a discount price as long as you recruit your friends to be 'cosigners'. We're not sure exactly how this work, but we're sure you'll have to post to your wall asking friends to help by clicking on the feed. All of the other cars must be bought outright, but all cars will be giftable or tradeable after they have been purchased.
YoVille Cars
Once you have bought a car, it will show up under "My Stuff". To drive your YoVille car, click "Edit Room" and then drag your car into your room wherever you would like it to be parked. Click on the car once it is placed, and you will now be driving in the car! You can take this car anywhere - outside of your room, even! To park the YoVille car, right click on your avatar and then select "Send to My Stuff". Your car will then be placed in your storage until you're ready to take it out and drive it around again.
Cars will only be driveable by the person who purchases them, so your friends will not be able to visit your home and drive your cars. That's a pretty smart decision, because I don't want to come back to my room and see my car missing! Only one person will be able to ride in a car at any time.
That's all we know at the moment, but this guide will be updated once cars are live and purchaseable in YoVille. Hope you've passed your Driver's Ed!

FarmVille Official Podcast - August 13th, 2010
FarmVille Podcast – August 13th Summary:
Hey Farmers and welcome to this week's installment of the Official FarmVille Podcast. My name is Lexilicious and I am here to bring you all of the latest news and information from around the Farm. This week, we will be discussing our latest releases, I will be answering some questions from members of the FarmVille Community and you guys will all be getting a sneak peek of what is coming to FarmVille in the near future.
So this week our 7 days of summer sale made an appearance, featuring some of the most requested classic themes from the past. Each day this week, a past favorite Limited Edition theme was in the market for 24 hours. This gave many of our players the opportunity to obtain items they may have previously missed out on or not had the chance to purchase. So far, the California, Yukon, French chateau, Southwest, Tuscan and Island themes have made an appearance, with the Japanese Garden and UFO theme still to come this weekend. If you are a fan of the Japanese Garden Theme or the classic UFO theme, make sure to be ready for this weekend's sales so you don't miss your on your chance to purchase favorites from this collection while they last.
On Wednesday, we had a very special surprise for all of our players. Upon logging in, all players received 1 free Dart for the Mystery Game! This dart can be used immediately, or saved for a future Mystery Game you may be looking forward to. If you have not yet had a chance to claim your free dart, simply open the Market and play the Mystery Game and you will be able to automatically throw one free dart.
We also released two new permanent crops and the new "Bakery Delivery" Co-op missing this week. For anyone who may be interested, the Zuchini crop is a 16 hour crop, grants two experience points, costs 120 Coins to plant and Yields 220 Coins when harvested. This crop is one of our new Heirloom crops, which means you must have previously mastered Pattypan Squash to unlock it in the market. Our Rhubarb crop is also a 16 hour crop, grants 1 experience point, costs 65 coins to plant and yields 150 coins when harvested. For our sign collectors out there, both of these crops can be mastered. For information on the mastery requirements, please visit the "game updates" section of the Official FarmVille Forums.
Q&A:
Now, the FarmVille Team receives thousands of questions from players a week and the best ones from our community get answered here. Our first question today comes from harrydresden, and they have a question that has been a big topic of discussion for our players. "I would like to know when you are going to get rid of some of the pop ups in the game. It's taking too long to plow and plant and harvest my crops."
Well, the FarmVille team took into consideration all of the feedback from our community about the number of pop-ups that are currently present in the game. Yesterday, we released the "Daily Good Deeds" feature that is a new and improved way for you to interact with your neighbors. One of the best parts of this feature is that it should really cut back on some of the pop-ups players have been receiving for the past few weeks prompting them to help their friends with various tasks. These requests have been streamlined with this release, and you can now assist your friends by Clicking the Checklist Icon on the left of your screen, which will allow you to help your Neighbors finish buildings, complete collections and more. For players who are feeling Neighborly, make sure to come back daily for new ways to help your friends on their farms.
Our next question comes to us from kaytkayt. "We have too many 16 hour crops now. Can we expect new crops in the future that aren't 16 hours long?"
We have heard feedback from our community since the release of Zuchini and Rhubarb that 16 hour crops are inconvenient for some players. Because of that, I'm happy to let you know that in the future, we will be releasing some 14 hour, 24 hour and 6 hour crops to better accommodate our players.
Our last question comes to us from RainyDayz. "If Mystery Boxes are gone, how will I be able to get my They of Mystery Ribbon?"
Our ribbon collectors out there will be happy to know that late this week we actually released an update that has fixed this issue. Darts thrown in the Mystery Game will now count towards the "They of Mystery" ribbon, which will now allow all of our players to complete this ribbon if they wish to do so.
If you have a question you would like answered by the FarmVille team on our weekly podcast, please make sure to visit the Official FarmVille Forums for more information on how to participate.
News on upcoming features:
Alright! So in this week's coming soon segment we will actually be discussing a feature that I announced a few months ago. As most of our listeners are aware, late in May I announced a new feature called Underground storage. Since then, many of you have been wondering where this elusive release has been. Well, the FarmVille Team decided to go back to the drawing board with this one and we will actually be releasing a revised version of this release with some significant changes. In the near future, the storage cellar will make an appearance in FarmVille bringing with it some well deserved leg room for our players. The storage cellar will take up a very small amount of room and will allow you to store a total of 500 items on your farm. To increase storage in your cellar, you will need to get your friends to send you gifts to unlock more room. This version of the feature should prove to be much easier for our players as there is no crop growing or digging required to take advantage of the extra space. Alternatively, if you don't feel like waiting for your friends to send you gifts, you can simply pay Farm Cash to get your storage immediately.
In addition to storage cellars, we will also be releasing more summer and beach themed items in the coming weeks along with new playground items!
And on that note, it's time for me to get out of here Farmers. Again, my name is Lexi and I would like to thank all of our listeners for tuning in this week. We will be back next Friday with all of the latest news and information about FarmVille from Zynga. Happy Farming everybody!

These requests have been streamlined with this release, and you can now assist your friends by Clicking the Checklist Icon on the left of your screen, which will allow you to help your Neighbors finish buildings, complete collections and more. For players who are feeling Neighborly, make sure to come back daily for new ways to help your friends on their farms.
Our next question comes to us from kaytkayt. "We have too many 16 hour crops now. Can we expect new crops in the future that aren't 16 hours long?"
We have heard feedback from our community since the release of Zuchini and Rhubarb that 16 hour crops are inconvenient for some players. Because of that, I'm happy to let you know that in the future, we will be releasing some 14 hour, 24 hour and 6 hour crops to better accommodate our players.
Our last question comes to us from RainyDayz. "If Mystery Boxes are gone, how will I be able to get my They of Mystery Ribbon?"
Our ribbon collectors out there will be happy to know that late this week we actually released an update that has fixed this issue. Darts thrown in the Mystery Game will now count towards the "They of Mystery" ribbon, which will now allow all of our players to complete this ribbon if they wish to do so.
If you have a question you would like answered by the FarmVille team on our weekly podcast, please make sure to visit the Official FarmVille Forums for more information on how to participate.
News on upcoming features:
Alright! So in this week's coming soon segment we will actually be discussing a feature that I announced a few months ago. As most of our listeners are aware, late in May I announced a new feature called Underground storage. Since then, many of you have been wondering where this elusive release has been. Well, the FarmVille Team decided to go back to the drawing board with this one and we will actually be releasing a revised version of this release with some significant changes. In the near future, the storage cellar will make an appearance in FarmVille bringing with it some well deserved leg room for our players. The storage cellar will take up a very small amount of room and will allow you to store a total of 500 items on your farm. To increase storage in your cellar, you will need to get your friends to send you gifts to unlock more room. This version of the feature should prove to be much easier for our players as there is no crop growing or digging required to take advantage of the extra space. Alternatively, if you don't feel like waiting for your friends to send you gifts, you can simply pay Farm Cash to get your storage immediately.
In addition to storage cellars, we will also be releasing more summer and beach themed items in the coming weeks along with new playground items!
And on that note, it's time for me to get out of here Farmers. Again, my name is Lexi and I would like to thank all of our listeners for tuning in this week. We will be back next Friday with all of the latest news and information about FarmVille from Zynga. Happy Farming everybody!

When you have an adult pet you will be able to dress it up with all kinds of animal clothes and accessories! You will also be given the option to have it follow you in game wherever you go. In order to have your pet follow you you'll need to get a pet license.

Mafia Wars: Las Vegas Districts 7 and 8 are open for business!
Las Vegas Districts 7 and 8, Area 51 and the Hoover Dam respectively, are finally open in Mafia Wars. Both districts contain several jobs with multiple path options and impressive mastery items: the Experimental Exoskeleton from Area 51 and Hallorans Helicopter from Hoover Dam. Did we mention this update includes brand new achievements too? Everyone needs their cheevos!
Both districts, like all of Las Vegas, offer three different paths for progression: Energy, Stamina or Social (slightly more limited). You'll have to follow at least one path and master each job completely to access the district's boss. Also, there are a lot of itme locks on the later jobs, so we recommend you master one job before going to the next to make sure you get enough of the items. So, get cracking if you want to get your hands on these new mastery items and achievements now.

FarmVille Super Combine Tractors can do it all
farmville all purpose swiss army super combine hot rod tractor
Originally mistaken for Swiss Army Tractors, these all purpose mean machines are in fact the FarmVIlle Super Combine and the Super Combine Hot Rod.
Basically, the idea behind the FarmVille Super Combines is that they combine all the vehicles into one, that way you don't have to switch vehicles to accomplish different tasks. So although incorrect, the temporary name, Swiss Army Tractors, was quite appropriate for these all purpose farm hands.
I'll be sure to let everyone know when we get more information on pricing and release date. But until then, continue reading to see the all purpose Super Combine Swiss Army Tractor, and the hot rod version, in motion.

Will you buy these new tractors?

Mafia Wars Las Vegas Districts 7 and 8 Achievements: Everything you need to know
Mafia Wars Las Vegas
With the new Las Vegas Districts released in Mafia Wars came a slew of new jobs, items and mastery items. But most importantly for some are the new achievements. I mean, what stands as a better testament to your skill than an achievement for doing something 500 times?
Continue reading for a list of the brand new achievements and how you can accomplish them one by one.
Mafia Wars Las Vegas Achievements 1
While the new release notes from Zynga claim that there are 10 new achievements, we can only seem to find eight for the moment. For now, here's a list of the new achievements currently in-game:
Shake Em Down: Earn 1,000 Victory Coins
Holes in the Desert: Ice 5 players in Las Vegas
Arachnophobia: Own 50 Desert Spiders
Long Arm of the LAW: Own 100 LAW Weapons
In It to Win It: Win 10 tournament fighting World Championship Bouts
Long Odds: Win a tournament fight bet of at least $1,000 with odds 10:1 or greater
Gambling Man: Win a $100,000 tournament fighting bet
Trouble Maker: Complete 500 Fight jobs
Mafia Wars Las Vegas Achievements 2
Some of these achievements seem a bit too easy like "Hole in the Desert," but I can see people losing a ton of money trying to complete "Gambling Man." Come to think of it, if you're feeling really adventurous, you could complete both "Gambling Man" and "Long Odds" in one shot. But again, but you'd have to be pretty brave to put that much cash on the line (or have deep pockets).

Mafia Wars' War Wagon: Buy one and help Huntington's Disease patients
Starting this Friday at midnight through Oct. 21, for every War Wagon bought in the Mafia Wars Marketplace for 35 Reward Points, or around $8, Zynga will donate 100 percent of the proceeds (no frontsies-backsies this time) to the Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA). The War Wagon, which boasts 77 Attack and 33 Defense, will only be around for this event, so consider it a collector's item with a purpose. I guess you don't see many of those these days, huh?
More specifically, the proceeds will go to HDSA's Coalition for a Cure, a global collective of scientists working on breakthroughs and advanced treatment for this currently incurable neurological disorder. Huntingdon's Disease affects one in every 10,000 with loss of muscle coordination and dementia. Six months ago, Zynga collaborated with the HDSA on a similar project, raising over $100,000 for the program through 50 percent of proceeds from the Exploding Teddy Bear.
Now that Zynga will be providing 100 percent of the proceeds, the HDSA should at the very least get $200,000 for their extremely important research, but it doesn't have to stop there. Get ready to go to war yet again, but this time with feeling.

PetVille Halloween Theme decorations take your pets Trick-or-Treating
PetVille Shocker and Necro-Dancer
Zynga's zest for Halloween seems to know no bounds as its games keep pumping out the cutest spookiest stuff around and it's time for PetVille's second pass. We first saw the new, mix-and-match Halloween costumes for our pets to get dolled up in, but now it's time to give them somewhere to parade around in on the big night.
This update, found in the Lawn and Garden store, comes with a slew of new decorations and characters to collect, the best of which obviously being "Shocker" and the Necro-Dancer. In an homage to the greatest Halloween song ever written, Shocker, for 105 Pet Cash (about $8), will prance around your yard in an expectantly familiar red leather outfit (I guess it's not too soon after all) as his face transforms between human and zombie. The Necro-Dancer, for just 48 Pet Cash or around $4, will essentially follow suit. I guess everyone could use a back-up dancer.
Check behind the break for the rest of this limited-time collection.
