Haahaahaa!! Now the human doens’t fit the house anymore! And the animals are way too big now! It’s kind of a mess really…

I like the idea of makeing things smaller but I do hope the shrinking is done to animals also.

Hey y’all!! Zynga has made the following statement (copied from the Zynga FarmVille Forum, #73)

Lexilicous has posted an update:

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay, things have been a little crazy around here.

I finally managed to get some information from the developers about this issue.

The cottages being shrunk was not an intentional change. We will be reverting the cottages back to their original size very soon.

Please know that when the cottages return to normal size, any items you may have placed next to them might get overlapped.

If this happens, simply move your cottage and you will be able to access the items underneath it.

Should there be any additional information you need to be aware of, I will make sure to let you know.

Thanks for your patience, everyone.

I used this analogy to some friends today, and, they got a kick out of it. Sorta feels like this:
Let’s say I go buy a 2010 Honda Pilot and park it in my driveway.
Then, tomorrow morning, it’s gone and in it’s place is a Volkswagen Bug.

p.s. If you have finished La (petite) Maison…..and also have a Moose…place the Moose in front of the building. It’s a Tragic hoot………pitful…..

And, if they are planning a massive “ReScale” I think we should be forewarned….

they better not scale down fences… all the people (like me) who stack fences and haybales and whatnot, would be SCREWED if that happened… the scale of things is a little off, but the shrinking buildings is just unacceptable

They’re probably in the middle of scaling down everything, which will take a little while. I appreciate the scaling down – once everything else is scaled to size, they won’t have a doll-house feel to them.

I had 3 cottages in storage (since my farm is mostly used for planting stuff), checked the new size, laughed a little bit and sold them… The thing they really need to scale down is the huge red barns. I have 4 of them plus 2 tool sheds and they take up a huge amount of space!

To be fair, it’s not really a “free” game if you have to spend real world dollars while you’re using it. Zynga is making money because we spend it to play the game — that ain’t free. I hope they address the Incredible Shrinking Buildings issue. I don’t think many people are happy with it AT ALL (including me).

Mostly it’s the lack of warning/notification. Is this a Glitch? If so….we all sit tight till it’s fixed. If it was on purpose…..a notice would have been nice so everyones farms could be ready. Isn’t that what the Podcast is for? yes, it’s a Free Game….and, yes…they are a company which I respect quite a bit (would love to work for/with them!—but alas, they are on one coast and i’m on another! LOL) . Zynga has designed quite a good game—Award Winning…—and has quite a huge fan base. Making improvements is one thing……but this was lack-a-daisical at best and poor planning on their part….unless it was, of course, a Glitch. A Glitch…hey…that’s ok…I think we can all survive that as they are very good at fixing their software really. And, even as a Free Game…I’ve spent over $100 real dollars playing this cute little game. Huge advocat of the fact that when you average the cost of going to the movies, renting a movie, buying a play-station-type-game, eating out at a Fast Food place…well….you get the point. Huge inconvenience for everyone…the “not knowing”….and, for those that did spend real money on the game…..well…these are the “paying” customers that bought something and then *PooF* it’s something else.
