Happy Pets: More horses in more colors
heppy pets chestnut horse happy pets bluegrass horse happy pets butter horse
Happy Pets has been absolutely crazy about horses lately. Recently, they released limited edition horses in some seriously zany colors, then they rolled out new horse decor, and finally, they've released a new set of permanent horses in addition to the existing five. The new horses are as follows:
Dun Horse (41,795 Coins)
Chestnut Horse (39,795 Coins)
Bluegrass Horse (45,795 Coins)
Butter Horse (43,795 Coins)
While the horses are all rather expensive, we're relieved that they can be bought with coins. Also interesting is the selling price for the adult horses. An adult horse can be sold for about 20,000 Coins more than the price of the pony, allowing Happy Pets players to do a little ranching. Head to Happy Pets to perhaps consider a horse of a different color.

FrontierVille Cheats & Tips: Goals Mastery Guide
Hey there, homesteader! If you're a FrontierVille fan, you're going to need this guide.
Why?
Well, one of the surprising things about FrontierVille is that it's got no place for players to see or display their achievements. Most games supply a way for players to proudly display, and keep track of, in-game milestones. These could come in the form of ribbons (FarmVille), medals (Happy Aquarium), statues (Pet Society), etc.
Without this future knowledge, you can't anticipate tasks, so you can't plan ahead to make sure you've got everything you need.
In FrontierVille, achievements are called "Goals", and they seem to appear and disappear like the wind. Sometimes, there can be as many as three goals at once. Sometimes, until you clear one goal, you can't see what the next one may be. Some goals can only be completed through sheer chance. Another annoyance is that you could complete a task, but be forced into a do-over, just because you did it before the goal showed up and told you to!
There are probably over a hundred tasks in the game at this point, divided into about 30 main goals. And now, we've made it our mission to report every one.

FarmVille Botanical Garden & Gift Box glitch
In a new FarmVille glitch, FarmVille Freaks are reporting that their Gift Box is doing some strange and unusual things.
The most common report is that farmers FarmVille Gift Boxes are being found filled with Botanical Garden building supplies. The Botanical Garden was a past limited edition building, now retired, that required you to have the help of your neighbors to build. It is not a building with purpose and does not provide storage.
As reported by FarmVille Freak OctaviousOrion,
I got a glitch somehow in Farmville and I posted about it myself and had others say they got the same thing. I opened up my FarmVille page and noticed I had nearly 70 gifts....and 49 of those were the materials needed to build the Botanical Gardens previously released by FarmVille. In no way did i have any part in receiving these, they just showed up. I'll include the screenshot of what i received. (See Picture below)" – FarmVille Freak OctaviousOrion
Similarly FarmVille Freak Dustin experienced this as well,
"I logged into my farm this afternoon and found something weird in my Gift Box. Before I signed off last night I knew I didn't have over 70 items.. so I checked and found all of the Botanical Garden items in there. I already completed the Botanical Garden when it came out, and it's in my storage. I don't know where all these items came from, and I didn't accept any old requests. Anyone else have the same thing happen to them? You can see all the items in this screen shot, and there are 9 Glass Tiles on the first page of my Gift Box, not included in the screen shot." – FarmVille Freak Dustin

Mafia Wars: The fight is on in San Juan for all, thanks to recent patch
Zynga has posted the release notes for today's Mafia Wars patch, and the results are mainly bug fixes and improvements to features that have already been implemented. Most importantly, the San Juan mission pack is finally available to all players!
As an apology, the Zynga team has awarded everyone a compensation package of 100 victory coins and one piece of Hazard Gear armor (35 Attack, 71 Defense). Could this be part of Zynga's promise to make Mafia Wars better? Find a full list of the changes after the break.
Mafia Wars Release Notes September 8 2010
Aside from the San Juan event being open to all, there are a slew of other changes and features added to this release of Mafia Wars. Take a look:
New Underwater Crates Set
Added loot drops and fight mastery to the Hit List
Added loot and boosts to the Vegas Slot Machines
An in-game fix making Mafia Wars compatible with Google Chrome
Fixed an issue with populating list of people to fight in Vegas
Beating a boss in Vegas finally masters a tier
Players can help out their mob as many times as they want in the San Juan event
There's now a two-second cooldown timer on attacking a San Juan boss
Finally (drum roll please), the San Juan event has been extended for another three days! While it's obvious this is to give those who couldn't access the event a chance at all the fun, at least those who have had the access but didn't get to do the event have a second chance.
Mafia Wars Reinstated San Juan gifts
In addition to these announced changes, the ability to send the San Juan event gifts has been reinstated as well to help out those who haven't completed the missions yet. So, get to helping your buddies out!

Mafia Wars: Log in this weekend to pimp your properties for free
According to a little stealth update in Mafia Wars, Zynga plans to give everyone a free upgrade to their property some time this weekend. While we can't say exactly how many upgrades there will be, we know that you'll be able to apply them to any of your properties in any given city.
The information appears as a small banner ad on your home page that reveal more information once clicked. While free items, apologies and upgrades are nice, we hope this isn't all that Zynga meant when they promised improvements.

Treasure Isle Dragons will take you to lands that are Timeless in China
A new feature appeared in Treasure Isle this weekend that continues the exotic Asian Isles map sets, the Dragon. You heard that right, not the Dragon Sailboat. Zynga decided to quit beating around the bush and give us treasure hunters what we really want: to ride on our very own fierce, majestic dragon.
It's too bad when you find the magical lizard he's sickly and pathetic (since when do dragons get sick?). Fortunately, nursing the little baby back to health will open up a whole new map for you to explore called Timeless in China, which holds eight new islands to find shinies in. Finding the dragon currently seems like a random occurrence, but once you do find him, throw him in the good old backpack and take him to your Home Island. It's there that you can click on the legged, sickly snake to ask six of your friends to help bring him back to good health, though one new friend will automatically come by each day to help if your friends are slowpokes.
You can also pay up 30 Island Cash, or about $5 USD, to bring him into his own instantly Seriously, even if you don't have six friends, it's only six days. We think you can wait. Once fully healed, the dragon is what you'll need to access the Timeless in China maps. Good luck finding the dragon and exploring the Timeless in China maps. Just don't get lost in there, because unlike in Hollywood wushu flicks where that's cool and exciting we call that addiction. And that's just no fun.

Or you can use the chests for lining up the rooms, make the railings etc. like Queen KK WYID has done in her lovely Smokey Mt Lodge Lobby:

FarmVille looking to Windows Phone 7 to sow seeds of addiction
FarmVille on Windows Phone 7At the recent GigaOm Mobilize Conference in San Francisco, general manager of developer and platform evangelism Matt Thompson claimed that the "hook" Windows Phone 7 will have other smartphones is Xbox Live integration, according to Venture Beat. More importantly, Thompson also mentioned briefly during his time on stage at the GigaOm event that (drum roll, please) FarmVille will be one of the many games coming to Windows Phone 7.
This is the second mobile platform that Zynga will officially be taking its insanely addictive Facebook farming game to (can you guess where you can find it already?). With the San Francisco-based social game creator looking for Android developers, it can't be too long before we're harvesting crops on our Android phones as well.
Whether FarmVille on Windows Phone 7 will take advantage of the phone's Xbox Live features is uncertain, but it is possible considering games on the device are only developed through Microsoft's XNA. A development environment used for Xbox 360's indie games that already allows for Live features, players could add Xbox Live friends as neighbors and share their progress on Xbox Live.
Windows Phone 7 will be available this fall on almost all major carriers, so scratch the, "but there's no FarmVille" excuse off your list of reasons for not getting one of these bad boys.

Nightclub City adds new Halloween celebrities to the party
One of the subtle draws to Nightclub City is the ability to "collect" celebrities, who will either randomly visit your club, or who can be paid to make an appearance in your club. These celebrities add to your club's popularity for as long as they are in the club, which has multiple effects (the most noteworthy being the sheer increase in the number of patrons coming to your club, thereby increasing your cover charge and drink revenues).
To celebrate Halloween, Booyah has added a new trio of Halloween celebrities to the mix tonight. For a limited time, you can now pay Count Macula, Freakenstein, and the Bride of Freakenstein to make an appearance in your club. All three cost a whopping 1 million coins each to purchase, but they also come with a high amount of popularity points, at 200 points each. Pay 3 million coins and your club will instantly boost 600 popularity points! To put this into perspective, many other celebrities add just 50 or 100 popularity points per appearance.
The only downside? Your club must be located on Elm Street, one of the game's Halloween themed locations in order to have them appear in your club. For those that don't have the 10 million dollars to move their club to said location, this can be a bit disappointing, but at least those that did make the splurge now have more content with which to spend their time.

FarmVille Stone Coffin: Could this be the last Halloween item?
Just a few minutes ago, Zynga announced the release of yet another Halloween-themed limited edition item into the FarmVille marketplace.
The item is the Stone Coffin, and it can be found under the Decorations tab of the marketplace. It is available to purchase for 20 Farm Cash, and it is an animated item. Remember, as a Farm Cash item, you can also gift one to a friend, if you are so inclined (I'm sure your friends wouldn't turn down a free Farm Cash item).
Could this really be Zynga's final release in this year's Halloween limited edition item set? From the wording on the post on the FarmVille Sheep fan page, it certainly seems so, as the words "one last" definitely indicates such.
Either way, we'll be sure to continue to bring you all of the news concerning FarmVille's Halloween celebration, if it does continue to update. For now though, be sure to add take a look at this item in the marketplace before it disappears in just two days' time.

FarmVille Halloween costumes: Revealed!
If you're a FarmVille fan and are looking for a last-minute Halloween costume for this weekend -- look no further. Pay homage to your favorite virtual pastime by dressing up as a FarmVille farmer. We've outlined everything you need in our quick Halloween costume guide, and dug up these photos of other people's costumes for additional inspiration.
Our favorite FarmVille costumes we've seen so far is from this duo, who donned overalls, plaid shirts and then added ribbons, stars with their levels in the game. Then, as the pièce de résistance, they handed out chocolate gold coins to anyone who asked about their costume. Awesome.

Zynga streamlines FarmVille news posts - collect items in fewer clicks!
A few months ago, Zynga made an interesting move in their update of FarmVille news feed posts. Instead of being able to click on a free Mystery Egg, lost animal, experience point boost or any other free item posted by your friends and receive them instantly, they added a second step, which slowed down the process considerably.
Up until yesterday, when accepting any of these news feed rewards, you would have to go through a confirmation step before actually receiving your prize. Now, however, the step of "Do you want to accept this gift?" has been removed entirely, streamlining the gifts acceptance process to the point that you can now simply click on a news feed item and receive the reward in one click.
Instead of the above, as you receive your reward (whatever that reward may be), you may or may not be taken to a page where you can voluntarily send a gift back to your friend as a thank you. Again, this is voluntary and can be skipped entirely if you so choose.
For an example, when claiming a free nail from a building material post, you'll see a page containing a graphic like the image above, simply alerting you to the fact that your nail has been successfully added to your Gift Box - no secondary clicking necessary.
As of right now, Zynga is still working on moving over all feed reward posts to the new system, so if you still see the "Do you want to accept this?" page, be patient, as we're sure Zynga will change them all over as quickly as possible.

Cafe World Collections Cabinet: Everything you need to know
If you've played Cafe World for some time now, you'll know how much Zynga loves releasing construction projects in the game. The newest item has been released this weekend, and comes in the form of a Collections Cabinet, which, as the name suggests, brings a collection feature to the game, allowing you to earn special rewards.
Meet us behind the break for everything you need to know about this new cabinet and feature.
First and foremost, you'll need to build the Collections Cabinet, either by asking your friends for help or by purchasing it (or the ingredients to build it) with Cafe Cash.
The Cabinet can be purchased flat out for 75 Cafe Cash, or you can collect 40 ingredients: 10 each of Drawers, Handles, Mounting Bolts, and Paint. You can acquire these ingredients by asking your friends for help. Simply click on the "Ask for More" button associated with the particular ingredient you want to collect, and you'll be taken to a reverse of the game's free gifts menu, where you can send your friends gift requests for those items.
If at any time you'd like to stop waiting for your friends to help you, you can purchase ingredients with Cafe Cash, at a rate of 2 Cafe Cash per individual ingredient. It should be noted that if you choose to place the free Collections Cabinet base from your inventory and then purchase the ingredients individually, you'll wind up paying 80 Cafe Cash, which is actually more than the flat rate you can spend by simply purchasing the Cabinet from the store fully completed.
Once you have completed your Collections Cabinet, you'll be able to complete various collections by simply completing actions in the game that you normally would anyway. You can earn different collection items based on the different actions you take (cooking in your own Cafe, spicing your friends' dishes, completing Catering missions, and so on). Completing these collections earns you coins, and Cafe Points (the game's experience points), with the possibility of much better rewards being available in the future.
Meet us behind the break for everything you need to know about this new cabinet and feature.
First and foremost, you'll need to build the Collections Cabinet, either by asking your friends for help or by purchasing it (or the ingredients to build it) with Cafe Cash.
The Cabinet can be purchased flat out for 75 Cafe Cash, or you can collect 40 ingredients: 10 each of Drawers, Handles, Mounting Bolts, and Paint. You can acquire these ingredients by asking your friends for help. Simply click on the "Ask for More" button associated with the particular ingredient you want to collect, and you'll be taken to a reverse of the game's free gifts menu, where you can send your friends gift requests for those items.

Nightclub City: Say "Yee haw" for new Nashville theme!
Booyah has added an entirely new theme to Nightclub City this week, in the form of Nashville. The biggest element of this new theme is the fact that you can now pay to move your club to Nashville for $1 million, where you'll earn more from drinks, as guests will gladly pay for the southern hospitality and casual experience they'll find in this new club location.
In addition, if you choose to move your club to Nashville, you'll unlock access to purchasing a whole array of country-themed decorations, like a pool table, juke box, wooden crates and tables, dark wood flooring, a fireplace (complete with mounted skull overhead), outlaw booths, and even a mechanical bull that adds a whopping 3700 Luxury Points to your club.
For those that move to Nashville, three new Parties will unlock. The first is Honky Tonk Heaven, which takes 4 hours to plan, but rewards $75,000 and 90 Party Points. Hoedown Throwdown takes 12 hours to plan, and rewards $40,000 and 60 Party Points, and finally, the Willie's Whiskey Shoot party takes a full 24 hours to plan, rewards $75,000 and 90 Party Points.
Finally, you'll be able to play appropriate music in your new Nashville club, as a Gloriana track list is now available to play (this list is available even if you don't move your club).
It's nice to see Booyah adding such themed content to Nightclub City, especially for an entirely new musical genre, but the price tag to move clubs might be enough to persuade players in the other direction.

FrontierVille Thanksgiving Feast Missions: Everything you need to know
While we're all familiar with the basic set of Thanksgiving Missions in FrontierVille - those being "Thanksgiving Part I of V" and so on, once you complete Part IV of V (which sees you preparing the First Course of the Thanksgiving Feast at your Feast Table) you'll actually trigger the unlocking of a second themed mission set, all concerned with continuing the feast.
Meet us behind the break for details concerning this Thanksgiving Feast Mission set.
The first part of this mission set is entitled "Kickstartin' Your Appetite Fer Thanksgiving!" and it asks you to simply prepare the Second Course at the Feast Table.
You'll be able to complete the Second Course in much the same way as you completed the First. Simply click on your Feast Table, click on "Prepare Second Course" and then collect the items necessary on the menu that appears, as seen below.
For those that have yet to attempt completing the first Course (back in the regular Thanksgiving Missions), you'll need to give FrontierVille permission to automatically post to others' walls on your behalf, in order to ask for Feast RSVPs and the Serving Spoons. In order to do this, you'll need to click on the "Allow" button when asked if you'd like FrontierVille to be given this right.
As for the other four ingredients, the Cranberry Sauce, the Sweet Potatoes, Delicious Pie, and Roast Turkey, you can earn these by posting regular requests to your wall for your friends to respond to. However, when you respond to such a request yourself, you'll actually be given the chance of collecting any of the four items for yourself, rather than just receiving the same item in return. This gives you a chance to more easily finish these Courses, as you'll be able to collect just the right ingredient that you still need for the meal.
After completing the second course, you'll move onto a mission called "Jack's Burnin' the Thanksgiving Salad!" which requires you to prepare the third course. This is done in the same way as shown above, you'll just need to collect more of each ingredient in order to fulfill the mission.
Likewise, after completing the third course, you'll move onto "Fowl Language," a mission that asks you to complete the entire Feast. This is actually the "Fourth Course," if it were titled in such a way, and will see you collecting even more ingredients yet.
As you complete these Courses, your Thanksgiving Feast Table will expand and change in complexity, along with gaining more of the in-game characters that will grab a seat around the dinner table. After finishing the first course, Frontier Jack will be joined by Fanny Wildcat, the school teacher, and so on and so forth after that.
Both of the Thanksgiving Mission sets will expire in a little over 11 days, from the time of this writing, so start collecting these ingredients quickly if you want the best chance of completing them all.

Official FarmVille Podcast (November 19) - Winter Workshop and Holiday Tree Details
In this week's edition of the official FarmVille podcast, FarmVille Community Manager Lexilicious let users in on a special sneak peek of items and features that will be coming to FarmVille in the near future.
First the Winter Holiday theme of items will start releasing in the game very soon. This will see not only a release of new Winter and apparently Christmas themed items, but will also see a re-release of some of last year's items, similar to the setup of this year's Halloween event.
Next, a Chicken Coop expansion will be coming to the game. In other building news, we've received confirmation that the Winter Workshop building will be coming to FarmVille. It will be a constructable building that will let you earn coins once built.
For the Christmas season, the Holiday Tree will be making an appearance in the game in the coming weeks, that will allow you to collect "special goodies that will help you make presents." It's unclear right now as to whether or not this Holiday Tree will be an entirely new tree released in the game, or whether this will simply be a rehashing (in terms of function) of last year's Tree.
We'll be sure to bring you complete details on all of these new features as they go live in the game, but for now, if you want to check out the full podcast, which includes a recap of last week's events, you can find it above.

FrontierVille Thanksgiving Contest: Bake goodies for massive rewards
Similar to the FarmVIlle Dessert Contest that is asking users to bake FarmVille themed goodies in the real world for a chance to earn prizes in Zynga's massive farming game, so too has the developer announced a new contest for FrontierVille players, also asking them to let go of the computer mouse (at least for a few minutes) in order to create a FrontierVille-themed dish in the real world for submission in the FrontierVille Thanksgiving Contest.
This contest asks users to cook any sort of FrontierVille-themed dish, whether that ends up being a dessert, an entree, or otherwise. Simply take a picture of your dish, add a brief description about the dish (what is it, how is it themed, and so on), and post it to this thread on the official FrontierVille forums.
Zynga will let the community vote on entries, and the top ten that receive the most votes will receive a whopping 1,500 Horseshoes, 1 million coins, and 1 Mystery Animal Crate. You have until November 28 to submit a dish, so get cooking!

Mafia Wars: Earn a free Reward Point from Windows Phone
Similar to the Windows Phone promotion that recently took place in FarmVille, Zynga has launched a new Windows Phone promotion in Mafia Wars, allowing users to watch a series of very short videos advertising Windows Phones and then vote on your favorite.
Technically, you only have to watch one of the three videos, and then click the Vote button next to it in order to qualify for your free Reward Point. You'll know that you've received your prize when it says "You've earned your Reward Points" in the top right corner of the new window that appears.
Sure, this is only a single Reward Point, but it is free, and considering the high price of most premium items in Mafia Wars, it never hurts to boost your account balance, even if it is only by one.
