No more horsin' around -- FarmVille Wild Mustang feature has been disabled

FarmVille Wild Mustang -- we hardly knew you. We might never get the chance, either, according to Community Manager Lexilicious, who says that the feature is gone and offers no explanation as to why and when (or if) it might be coming back.

    "Hey Farmers,

    The Wild Mustang feature has been disabled. If you were already in the process of wrangling a mustang, your Neighbors will still be able to help you complete it.

    However, no new Wild Mustang pop-ups will appear for users.

    Thanks everyone!"

[Via FarmVille official forums]

Did you ever get the chance to wrangle a mythical Wild Mustang?

Mafia Wars London: Four ways to score more British passports

Mafia Wars London Challenge has arrived, and one of the key resources needed to get through the job is British Passports. Lots of them.

The standard way to get passports is by heading to the Mafia Wars London hub page, where you can pick up a bundle passports every 24 hours. Our best advice is to set a timer and make sure you check back every day -- on the dot. That's a slow way to get all of the passports you need, and if you're a little more enterprising, you can pick up some extras by doing the following:

1. Add new crew members to your Mafia

mafia wars new members

If you can find up to seven people to join your mafia, you'll be able to bring in a bunch of passports at once. If you're playing through Chapter 1, you'll be able to recruit three people, two people when Chapter 2 unlocks and two people when Chapter 3 unlocks. Each player you add will come with extra passports, making for a total of 252 passports. It might be annoying to go around and bug friends to join your crew, but it'll be worth it. You can also hit up the official Mafia Wars forums to find people to play with or, alternately, leave a note in the comments below that you're looking for a few new crew members.


2. Do jobs with low energy requirements

mafia wars complete jobs for passports

Another way to earn British passports is by doing jobs. However, since these passports drop randomly from jobs, it's a good idea to go back to a job that drops loot and doesn't require much energy to complete. Then, start clicking! We picked the Auto Theft job from New York, which only needs 3 Energy to complete and then started clicking. Not only will you pick up a few passports, but other loot items like auto and weapons parts. Don't get frustrated if you don't hit passport pay dirt -- remember that they're generally hard to come by and getting them by completing a job with a lower level energy requirement increases your chances.

3. Go on a robbing spree and complete the entire board

mafia wars robbing british passports

When you rob, your goal should be to rob all of the nine properties on the board. Once you're done, you'll receive additional experience points and a bonus item, which might be a British passport or two.

4. Fight (or don't)

Fighting will also drop passports, so keep putting your rival mafiosos to the test. So far, this has been the least effective way to get passports, so we suggest you save those stamina points for robbing instead.

Heard any other tips or tricks on ways to get more British Passports? Looking for new people to join your crew?

Cafe World turns up the heat with new Lightening Super Stoves

First there were Super Stoves, which made it easier to prepare a dish, now Cafe World introduces Lightening Super Stoves, which keeps the one-click cooking and makes the dish cook 5% faster. The stove can be purchased for 45 Cafe Cash (roughly $7), and for now, there's no other way to get one of these other than shelling out for them. We keep hearing that the Build a Super Stove feature will be going away soon, and maybe that's because it will be replaced with a special Build a Lightening Super Stove mini-game. The sooner we can turn up the heat on those recipes, the sooner we can master our favorite virtual dishes.

PetVille pays homage to Sex in the City with new mystery crate *spoiler*

PetVille pays homage to the new Sex and the City movie with a brand new mystery crate. For 25 Pet Cash a pop, you'll get the chance to score six 'Pet in the City' items, which includes a snazzy new car, a camel and pet parodies of Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, all dressed in designer duds with Martini glasses in hand. Get these girls into your house and your pet can join in and tell them all of his/her dirty secrets, i.e. "I always leave half-eaten tacos and cereal boxes all over my living room floor."

What did you get in your Pet in the City mystery crate? Is it worth the Pet Cash?

FarmVille Missing Animals!

After tonight's updates, many FarmVille Freaks are reporting that some of their beloved animals have gone missing!

Our very own FarmVille Freak blogger, CabbagePatchKid, lost six Horses including farm cash items like the Percheron Horse and limited edition White Stallion!

This is frustrating as many people have huge collections of animals and decorations, not to mention all those items in Storage. So, FarmVille Freak pack-rats, can you really keep track of all your FarmVille items? I admit, that all of this missing animals business kind of makes me want to create a spreadsheet of all my limited edition items.

Losing special items is never fun especially when you have paid farm cash for them. However, please remember that Zynga will replace farm cash items that are lost due to in-game technical glitches or errors. (See FarmVille Restoration Policy below)

If you have lost any of your animals due to technical glitches be sure to file your reports to Zynga's Customer Support.

Zynga Customer Support

Here is an excerpt from Zynga's FarmVille Restoration Policy:

    "FarmVille Item Restoration Policy

    Items Purchased with Farm Cash:

    If an item purchased with Farm Cash is lost due to an in-game bug or issue, we will restore the item itself whenever possible. If for some reason we are unable to restore the item itself, then we will restore the equivalent amount of Farm Cash that was lost to your account.

    Items Purchased with Farm Coins (that have been bought directly from Zynga):

    If an item bought with Farm coins is lost due to an in-game bug or issue (provided the coins used to buy the item(s) were purchased directly from Zynga) we will restore the coins to your account, up to a maximum of the amount you have purchased from Zynga.

    If a Limited Edition item that was purchased for coins is lost (provided the coins used to buy the item(s) were purchased directly from Zynga), we will restore the item itself whenever possible. If for some reason it is not possible to restore the item, we will credit you with coins in accordance with our restoration policy."

FrontierVille Cheats & Tips: Six easy ways to get ahead

Since FrontierVille on launched in June 2010, the Wild West game shot to the top of Facebook game charts and has been holding steady at #3 behind FarmVille and Zynga Poker. And while this game doesn't have the same number of players as FarmVille, I'd venture to say it takes the best of FarmVille -- tending crops and harvesting animals -- and wraps it in a more sophisticated game experience, complete with a charming pioneer theme with universal appeal, a endless series of goals to keep you busy, and in-game rewards that will keep you coming back for more.

When the game launched, Games.com blog created a comprehensive FrontierVille energy guide, and now we're back with another round of six tips (plus a bonus tip), cultivated from months turning our piece of the wilderness into a thriving pioneer town.

frontierville cheats and tips six easy1. Keep your varmints handy

One of the first things you'll learn while playing FrontierVille clobbering varmints – snakes, bears, groundhogs and foxes – is hard work and takes up a lot of your energy. Almost every time you dig up a skull, you'll find a snake, chop down a big tree a bear will appear. So, if you want varmints to make an appearance less often -- here's what you do. Get snakes or bears to spawn in an out-of-the-way place on your property. Or, if that's impossible, whack them a few times to move them out of the way. Then leave them there. Now, the next time you harvest a crop, or chop down a tree, no varmints will spawn because they're already on your property.

2. Don't cash in your Collections until you need 'em

As you play FrontierVille, you will constantly find items that will fill out your Collections. Once the Collections are complete you can turn them in for special items or bonuses. While you will be tempted to turn collections in upon completion – don't. There are many Goals where you will be required to turn in Collections and then use the resulting item to complete it.

3. Don't clear Thorns/Skulls/Big Trees right away

When you start FrontierVIlle, you might be tempted to clear out all of your land, including large trees, thorns and skulls. Don't. Why? You'll need those thorns and skulls for missions later in the game and if you waste all of your energy on chopping down trees, you won't have much left to do other things required to complete Goals.

4. Make your Neighbor Visits Worthwhile

Visiting your neighbor's properties in FrontierVille can help you earn extra energy, coins and cloth – but once you're there, you can take extra steps to get the most out of your neighbor visit. Basically, harvest crops and animals that will get you the most bang for your buck, e.g. peanuts, peas, adult Oxen and peach trees.

5. Use your Wishlist Wisely

Every pioneer has a Wishlist that they can fill with items that they want to request from friends. A few tips on that front – don't include items that are available as free gifts and you can increase your changes of completing Collections that are more common – Apple Tree, Chickens, etc – since they're 'common' more people probably have extras to pass along to you, and you can in-turn, use those items to complete Collections for a bonus or complete a Goal faster down the line.

6. Use your Bonus Meter Wisely

At the top of the screen is a Bonus Meter, and the more times you fill it up to the top (by collecting coins, loot, hearts, etc from harvesting) the more bonus coins you will earn. One of the easiest ways to make sure you maximize your bonus is by harvesting items that are close together, then pick things up quickly so you will fill up the meter. When the meter starts flashing red, that means you only have mere moments left to click on another dropped item to keep the meter going up. If you meter stops flashing red, then you'll have to start over from scratch.

frontierville badgesBonus Tip:

Badges: Make like a Boy Scout and Earn 'em

This recently launched feature is one of the easiest ways to get quick coin and other valuable loot in FrontierVille. You can find the badges in the menu or by clicking on your Jackalope Lodge. Earning these badges will often get you 25+ XP on completion.

FarmVille Mystery Game restocked with red and orange theme

In keeping with the changing colors of the leaves outside, Zynga has restocked the FarmVille Mystery Game tonight with new items in an orange and red theme.

The items available include the Scarlet Ibis and Baby Giraffe that we brought you a sneak peek of yesterday, along with other items that will give your farm some exclusive (if a bit expensive) personality.

This week, each play of the Mystery Game costs 20 Farm Cash, but Zynga swears that it's better than the traditional Mystery Box, as you have a better chance of receiving what you want from the Game, as opposed to the Box, which could easily fill your farm with duplicate items.

Remember, these Mystery Games are only available for a limited time - in this case, just five days, so play fast if you want a chance at collecting all of the available items.
