- Zynga rolled out the 28x28 expansion, for Farm Cash Only ($120FVC). Coin price has yet to be set, they're still working on it.
- Tuesday's update was bungled. They put Poinsettias and the Gingerbread house (buildable) in the market and OOS ran rampant until they pulled them off. They came back within the last day. Aside from that, there wasn't much rolled out Tuesday at all.
- Thursday night's update was nonexistent. No word from Zynga on why they skipped a day. Rumor has it that there is a huge upheaval in their Product Studio area, and some are speculating that this is the very first death knell being rung for FarmVille.
- The Winter Workshop has started appearing, although it's unclear as to whether it's a legitimate release or something Uncle Charlie has helped everyone with. So far, it hasn't broken anything yet.
- CityVille was released this week. Think FrontierVille, except with a City theme. So far, it's moderately playable despite requests not working correctly, rampant disconnects, and buggy Flash code that causes spontaneous system reboots for more than a few players after several minutes into the game.
- Facebook changed the way game requests are handled across the board, and as usual it was done with little notice. As a result, most of the tools used to 'accept all' or 'ignore all' aren't working correctly, and they aren't working at all well with the new CityVille game.
All in all, it was a good week to be Out of Sync - you didn't miss much. I've actually started removing FV completely between farming sessions to avoid people sending me things, posting pigs, etc., since I'm one of the 850,000 impacted by a time limit of about 3 minutes on my farm before I hit OOS.
