Snowmen are back on

FarmVille Snowman

In last night’s update, the big Snowball Fight event came to an end, also ending with it was the ability to build additional snowmen and produce Watering Cans when harvested. Many farmers were upset that they could not harvest their Snowmen for Watering Cans anymore. However, earlier this evening, FarmVille’s Lexilicious made an announcement that will cheer up many farmers considerably!

“Hey Farmers!

Please know that the FarmVille team will be re-enabling the ability to collect Watering Cans from the Snowman for three additional weeks (2/24).

If you have deleted your Snowmen, please contact Zynga Customer Service and they will restore your Snowmen for you.

As soon as possible, we will be adding a timer to the Snowman that will display exactly how much time is left to collect Watering Cans.

Please know that we are aware our Community is looking for more ways to obtain Watering Cans. Because of this, we will be adding the ability to collect Watering Cans from Orchards in the near future.”

Lexi’s announcement tonight must have been a response to many farmer’s outcry at the sudden inability to harvest water from their Snowmen, that they had worked so hard on. Although we knew this change would be coming due to the announcement that Stumpgrinder had made earlier (seen below) and from a post on the official FarmVille Blog, but I don’t think anybody expected it to be as soon as today!

Howdy! We do see there’s going to be a bit of a water shortage but it’s going to be short-lived. Coming next week we’ll be adding the ability to harvest Watering Cans out of your Orchards. We’re still tinkering with the exact number you’ll get from each, but essentially if you’re harvesting an Orchard and you don’t get a Mystery Seedling, you’ll get some water instead (as well as the coins from normal harvesting).
