There’s nothing more stupid than begging your friends to be your neighbor on a game they don’t want to play. So why not just add a bunch of people who are already playing and “ready already” to be your neighbor?
Why?
You can only farm so much in a day, but there’s free money and experience points in helping on your neighbors’ farms. Once a day, you can visit a neighbor’s farm and receive +20 Coins, +5 Experience. So if you have 10 neighbors and visit each of them every day, you’re adding an extra +200 Coins & +50 Experience to your tally every 24 hours. Pretty decent, right? You know what would be more awesome? I say about 10 to 100 times that amount. All it takes is more neighbors, and they’re here.
How to Join!
Read this entire post or else! I will make it crystal clear. I will not be answering questions or giving “technical support”. Love it or leave it.
Simply add a comment to this post. It will require your name and email address to submit. Important: Make sure you use the email address you use to log in to Facebook with, otherwise you will not get added to the list.
I will not be publishing all comments, so please note that even if your comment does not get approved, you will still be added to the list under two conditions:
- You have given a valid email address attached to your Facebook account.
- I don’t mistake your comment for spam. (Unlikely, but hey, just don’t be stupid.)
How It Works.
Your email address will be collected from your comment, added to “the list” which is hosted on a remote server and updated (almost) daily. After your comment is reviewed and your name added, you will receive an email to the address you provided containing a link to the list. If you do not receive the email within 24 hours, relax. Give it at least 3 days and be sure to check your spam/trash folders before you try to comment again. Repeated attempts will have their IPs blocked from commenting in the future and that’s no fun for anyone.
Tip: Bookmark this site and the link when you receive it. You’re only going to get it once and it will be the same link for every update. Requests to resend the link will probably be ignored, but hey you’ll still be on the list so don’t worry about it.
What to do with “The List”:
Okay here’s the fun part. Facebook allows you to upload an email contact list. Simply go here, click on “Upload Contact File”:
Then “Choose File”. If you’re having trouble putting these two pieces together, “The List” you get from here will be formatted as an email contact list, so this is the file you will be choosing to upload in this step.
First, after uploading, Facebook will graciously do the dirty work on this list by weeding out everyone that is already your friend and/or not on Facebook anymore, then return the difference – only people who are active on Facebook and aren’t currently your friend. The only downfall here is there’s no guarantee doing a mass email friend request will get you accepted as a friend, so let’s make a deal. If you sign up for our list, you accept friend requests from strangers. That’s just how this is going to work. If you’re a total creeper, don’t be offended if you get denied a lot. Just consider cutting your hair, taking a shower and updating your photo before trying again.
Now, as people you have requested on Facebook accept your request, Farmville will politely add your new friends to your Farmville friends list. At this point you can just click through and send your neighbor requests. Easy peazy.
How Many Neighbors Will I Get?
Um, well, I don’t know. This site has only been here since August 20th 2009, and I don’t really know how many people to expect to participate in this, but it’s opening with about a dozen. Once a day when the list uploads, this number will also update to indicate the new neighbors available so you may re-download the list from the same link you received:
Currently Neighboring:
13
Now we’re all in this for fun, but shoot, if you get a good result out of this send me a dollar or two donation so I can get some FV Bucks and buy myself weird trees. And maybe a spider-monkey.
…no, like, a real-life spider-monkey.
Ok, enjoy!
