Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:20 am
Even mine froze.. didnt get the level up.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:24 am
I did not get my level up when my ball droped === not fair
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:27 am
mine didn’t do anything! that’s not fair I want my level up
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:29 am
Hah, I purposely got to 300001 today just so I could get that extra 5000 to bring me up a level… it was worth the wait.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:31 am
hey
i got my level up…..itz awesome…amazing!!
but now wat? shud we delete the the ball now????
plzz tell!
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:31 am
Same thing as Arka! I set myy clock to Jan 1 three days ago got the leve up but it didnt save! And now i dont get a damn level up
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:35 am
my new year ball is not moving…….
i want my level; up/…….
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:35 am
Mine froze up too. I see everybody else on my news feed got their level up. I didn’t adjust anything, just got nothing after accepting to see the ball drop. Up & down it went for 10 minutes! Not fair… Congrats to all who got it though!
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:38 am
Mine froze too! Maybe Zynga is getting too much traffic?
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:40 am
I wonder if we will have to use the free fuel that we got from the holiday tree first. I hope not. I would like to save it for after free fuel week.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:41 am
I never set my clock or anything, I never got a level up period
, I never even got a message saying that the ball will drop. I logged in nothing happened, i stored the ball and put it back it would say the message nothing happening, I am so mad, I’ll see what will happen tomorrow, if not I am quitting farmville, I had 200 gifts in my tree and I get no mystery boxes at all, while others got tons and now I don’t get the level up….. not fair
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:46 am
ok, i set d date 3 days ago, it works but zynga has refreshed d page,, n now when its D DAY, i dont get any level up.. is there any problem??
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:49 am
*PLEASE READ
If your having problems, (re)purchase the New years Globe (if you don’t have it already) and place it in your storage (barn or shed) then bring it back out. This will make it pop back up and then press accept to finally get your level up bonus. (Do this at your own risk, I found out this method and it worked for me)
Good Lucky, Happy Farming and Happy New Years!
**This is a trick you can use, if your close to leveling up, level up using the soybean trick. Purchase soybeans and plow, and this will give you 3 xp for45 points a ratio of 1 xp for each 15 points you spend. After reaching to the next level immediately take your New Years Ball and accept thus leveling up.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:51 am
@ Chris Salvador, thanks for all the help it worked!
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:54 am
i DID’NT EVEN GET THE MESSAGE!!!
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:59 am
Wow what a rip off. It did not work for me either. The second message never showed up. The ball dropped and nothing happened except it said “happy new year”.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:01 am
Same here. Logged on this morning, no message, no leveling up. Didn’t cheat with days.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:02 am
yeah my computer froze up too all my friends and family got a level up not me i am so mad now everybody is beating me at least now i know it wasnt only me it has happenend to others as well they better get this fixed foe us who didnt get a level up
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:20 am
Try resigning up. It didn’t work for me, it kept saying “the ball’s about to drop. Let’s take a look!” and then it froze and didn’t work. I signed out of my account than resigned in, put the ball in my storage and took it out. it gave me the message again and then it got all darker around the rest of my farm and the ball dropped. then it gave me the level up. hoped this helped!
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:20 am
Will Chris’ solution will work for me too? ( remember i set the date )
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:34 am
same here…i had 4k xp left for leveling up and when i did i tried to lvl up sing the ball…but doesnt show uo anything…i had another account for playing FV anf in tht 1 i just stored it in my shed and took it out and lvld up…but in the other 1 i still cudnt
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:38 am
mine didnt work, but a famville neighbour walked me thru it thru IM… it will work, u just may need to do it many times.. store it, go to fv home page, but leave farm window up, go back to yr farm, unstore, wait a minute before clicking accept ball drop sign.. u will know it has worked by farm getting darker.. if it doesnt, try again….oh, what ever points u had before levelling up go towrds new points after free level up.. which is cool
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:43 am
okay this is what i did finally got it to work put your ball in storage thin place it on your farm when it pops up that your new years ball is fixing to drop DO NOT HIT ACCEPT WAIT AT LEAST 5 MIN LET THAT POP UP STAY ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR AWHILE THEN HIT ACCEPT I KEPT HITTING ACCEPT RIGHT AWAY AND MY COPUTER KEPT FREEZING UP SO WAIT AWHILE GOOD LUCK TO THOSE WHO HAVENT GOT A LEVEL UP I WAS SO FRUSTERATED IT TOOK ME 3HRS TO FIGURE IT OUT
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:48 am
so the main thing must be, like Michelle and I jst said, is to WAIT before accepting….
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:52 am
OMG THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I waited and got it!
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:52 am
Got my level up! Now I can plant DONUTS!!! The donuts are plain, but when fertilized – they become glazed!
Yes, I have the secret Gamma version of this game. ;P
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 3:16 am
just adjust your computer date on january 1 and store it in your barn or tool shed and then put it in your farm and poof you get the free level up hope this help hehehe
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 4:59 am
Does anyone know how the Free Fuel Week will work? Will you just be able to use unlimited fuel without recharge time?
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 5:14 am
A Free level up, fine, but i wanted someting SPECIAL, not a damn level up
thx anyway for the 10 000 XP.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 5:24 am
I love the level up and can’t wait for free fuel week – my farm is mostly planting right now since I’m close to having enough for my villa. I plan to plant til I drop next week! My fantasy is that the turbo tractor will have unlimited fuel – I’d pay big bucks for that! Hey, I can dream, can’t I??
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 6:35 am
@Michelle: thank you so much! Your tip worked for me too.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 6:49 am
My new year ball, didnt help me in moving level up:(
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 7:23 am
@michelle thanks your tip worked
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 7:25 am
How? I can see ball moving up & down.. but no message. How to do this?
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 7:30 am
I didn’t get the level up.It is Farmville not my computer .We have another Farm and it did get the level up.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 7:37 am
if ur farmville freezes and u didnt not get a lv up just store it it ur barn or whtever then take it bak out and put it in ur farm u will get the lv up
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 8:18 am
me ball dropped
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 9:08 am
Dear friends,follow the below process if u din’t get a level up!
1)store ur n.y.ball(u need a barn or tool shed)
2)put the ball back in place
3)message will appear as ‘new years ball is going to drop’ wait for 2 min and then press ‘ok’
4)Ur farm will darken for 10secs(otherwise repeat the process) and u will receive a level up!:)
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 9:46 am
Sorry I would not purchase another tree at this point. I can’t believe that Zynga will not address it. Some of my friends had this problem. But they put the existing tree in storage. refreshed. then took it out of storage. the ball then dropped and they lev up. I can’t believe you are telling people to purchase another tree this soon.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 9:58 am
No fair mine didnt work now im not the top farmer on my list
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 10:29 am
ok, I had trouble at first…finally I put my ball in storage, took it out and then it gave me my level up, hope this helps and works for some of you that have lost your freebie!
Happy New Year!
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 10:30 am
Yea, just another RIPOFF from Zynga. I never leveled up and then I sold the malfunctiond piece of garbage since they refuse to release the 24X24 plot. Where do they expect us to put all the crap. I was a die hard player and I am getting over it fast. The Gold gift box was yet ANOTHER ripoff! Tired of all of it!
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 11:34 am
i got the message who says “let’s take a look”… but it just stopped all the game and nothing happened… it’s frozen.. I try to send the ball to storage and then put the ball again, and happens alwais the same..
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 11:45 am
Mines dropped got a level up but when i refreshed i went back to my other level
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 11:55 am
can anybody help, i suddenly lost my New year ball, can’t find it on market and it’s like 2 days now/..can anybody help?
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 12:06 pm
I need some help guys…i deleted my new year ball by mistake can anyone tell me how to get it back?
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 1:42 pm
this comment is for the guy named “Ninierk” how are you able to plant doughnuts???
I WANT TO!!!
what is the secret Gamma version of farmville?
I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:44 pm
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:51 pm
I had the pop up right after mindnight then a lonely pinguin showed up
Game was frozen
I checked Zynga forums tday morning and I tried all the tricks:
- moved the ball to storage
- toggle off
- an other computer
- different browsers
- I sold a lot of animals ( I had a lot on my farm…..)
Nothing nothing nothing
((
But I am almost give up…just would like to know if I cannot use the ball the free fuel won t be applicable for me????
If I get the free fuel I do not care anymore w level up
Not fair but I can survive
so do you know anything about free fuel thingy?
thanks so much
Agnes
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:52 pm
its didnt give me a free level
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Calling it a “rip off” isn’t really accurate. No one paid for the level up lol Yes, some people may have bought another ball for 10,000 coins but it wasn’t real money…
Calm down guys. Whenever new things are released there are bugs. Go to the Zynga Official Forums and submit a ticket and I am sure you will get your XP.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 3:00 pm
the ball came but never counted down the page froze and i refreshed but still sot working and i NEVER GOT THE LEVEL UP OR OTHER INFO. i am so mad and ready to call this quits. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US OUT.
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 3:21 pm
the ball finaly dropped but no level up
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 3:46 pm
@Michelle thanks! Your tip helped
@Joanne nobody is MAKING you play Farmville… if you don’t like it, don’t play. But people like you ruin it for the rest of us by complaining about it.
@Mr. C you are dumb for believing what “Ninierk” said… it is obviously not true
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 3:47 pm
i got the free level up i’m on 44 level
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 5:02 pm
ok anyone who did not get their ball to drop. heres how i fixed mine
put your ball in storage….log out.
log back in and take the ball out of storage. place it on your farm.
a screen will pop up saying the ball is about to drop…..let it sit there a second giving it time to settle. Click accept…and wait….it may be a whole minute….if it is going to work properly the screen will darken just a little….the ball will glimmer and go down the pole…and you will get your level up.
If this does not work the first time do it again….it took 6 tries for my account and 9 for my daughters…but it did work. My son’s worked on the first try so we did know what to look for.
Don’t sell your ball!!!!! Just put it in storage. If you dont have any storage i dont know what to tell you to fix it. But, it is supposed to go when you log in so if you log out off facebook and back in it may prompt it again.
hope that helps…..
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 5:07 pm
puy your ball in storage put it back down on farm when it pops up ball is fixing to drop WAIT at least 5min then hit accept
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Got mine @ right at midnight !!!
Posted on January 1st, 2010 at 7:03 pm
i got the message and the level up but its useless because i just hit level 70 yesterday…. =(
Posted on January 2nd, 2010 at 12:01 pm
I did not get my New Years level up and can’t purchase the ball to try again? Is farmville going to give us a level up? Any body have any suggestions?
