So I find the new economics interesting... by adding more money you basically devalued all of the pets. You've reduced the number of rapid transactions for low value pets, and made the game more "thoughtful" more of a hunter gatherer, rather than a predator mode. I bet it has lessened your server load, but IMO it has also lessened the overall fun of the game. Please consider taking out all of the easy money... it doesn't work for the US government and it also doesn't work for FFS. Easy money = reduced value = less fun. Thanks for a blast of a game though!

Is it possible to block somebody fron purchasing me? I have already blocked this person on my personal page because of the constant messaging, but they continue to be able to buy me. Another thing why do people have more than 1 FFS account under the same name? Are you allowed to do this, by registering in different countries with different e-mail addresses? Is this kosher?

hi Greg and Andres!
I have an idea, perhaps you guys can try this out with the moderators.

Why not develop a interests earning system which is like when ever our pets ( which is under us ) made any purchasing or selling of pets, the owner of the pet will receive a small percentage of money from the sales the pets made?

For example, when 1 of my pet's pet are sold. I will receive a percentage of the profit the pet receive. It might not be very much, perhaps like 1 or 2% of the sales profit? and maybe creating a chain of multiple downline of pets in the money earning system, the more the pets a person have, and the more active they are, the ownner will be earning more cash soon enuf. I think this will be quite fun and on the other hand motivating people buying more expensive pets since the higher the value of the pet, the more earnings we receive. And the FFS users may go much more active in the game. =)

2008-06-08T16:04:00.000-07:00

hi, is it possible to gift money or pets to another member? i think this would be a great idea and add another huge element of strategy to "the game", unfortunately too many people don't know it's a game and think it's real money, and toss insults as such, and some pets are purchased just to give them a purely crude or expletive nickname. any thoughts?

I've been bidding on a very gorgeous pet for a few days, I last bought her for nearly 400.000 $ and the day after she turned...private............
Half of my bankroll that I've been building up in a long time is now showing up in the top of my pets list and worth nothing at all since...It's so unfair ! Very unlucky players like me should be reimboursed in some way.
I had a lot of fun in making very profitable investments and now I don't feel playing the game anymore...I really hope the FFS developers will handle this kind of very embarrasing game issues...

2008-06-03T17:17:00.000-07:00

I hope there was simply a problem with the database because as I attempt to purchase pets the following error message pops up:

Out of requests
Sorry, you have run out of requests to send with this application. Please try again tomorrow.

Hopefully this is rectified soon so that I can be a FFS millionaire once again.

2008-05-30T17:26:00.000-07:00

Are there any plans to add more "goals" or "stats" for the average FFS player?

Right now, at a glimpse, you can only really tell a person's 'value' and 'cash'. Are there any plans to expand upon this? Perhaps adding stats like or "Total value of pets" or maybe worded as "Total Assets" to include things like the value of presents.

Right now, You could own $1,000,000 worth of pets (which is quite an achievement!) or have indulged in millions of gifts, yet no one would notice, because your total cash would be quite low, and your own value does not necessarily need to be high either.

2008-05-30T11:39:00.000-07:00

Dear evelopers,
It would be cool and add some more strategy to the game if:
1. When you give someone a gift their value goes up.
and/or
2. If you are given a gift that you be able to sell that gift to get money.

With number 1 you could give expensive gifts and/or a large number of gifts to friends that you don't want bought from you... their value would increase and therefore make them harder to buy.

With number 2 you could team up with your poorer friends... by giving them a gift then they could turn around and sell it and get more money.

2008-05-29T23:31:00.000-07:00

hi there.great application.

i would like to see more options for blocking users.
twice recently some people i had an argument with,bought me,then repeatedly put me on sale from 800k to 500,before setting me free.
they then change all there settings and go private,wiping there account clean so you cant trace them.

they then tried the very same again this week but with my wife as well....so i would like to see some form of ip block,as there are lots of people with multiple accounts,and use them for various reasons,but if the ip address was blocked it would make it difficult for them to be so malicious.

also would like to see some form of bid system.if a pet is worth 4k,would like to be able to put in a reserve price so that if someone buys her back,you get first choice upto the price you have set in reserve....cheers

2008-05-28T21:37:00.000-07:00

I'd like to see an option to choose to auto-repurchase a pet if it is bought from you. If you have the money to repurchase the pet the game would automatically repurchase it for you until you didnt have any money left. This would add some interesting aspects to the game. It would let those who want to try and hold onto their favorite pets set some sort of defense and would allow hunters make some quick profit.

2008-05-28T07:22:00.000-07:00

Here are a few suggestions for the game.

1) Net worth. I'd like to see the total value of me, my cash and pets I own. It'd be great to see that over time as well.

2) Some way of selling back uninstalled pets, even at a loss.

3) Limiting or blocking the purchase of unisntalled pets.

4) An ability to up my bid on a pet. If I want to pay $10,000 for someone who's only $571, I should be able to waste my money if I want.

5) Team ups - I'd like to ally myself with other players to create a corporation of sorts to buy pets. In a simpler sense having the ability to loan/give money to another player would be nice.

6) A photo history.

7) A sliding scale for earning money. If I log in at 4 hours I'd like to get a boost. If I log in again at 4 hours, double that boost, etc. If you don't log in for a couple days reset back to normal. This will reward the hard core players.

8) Something that tells newcomers to the game that strangers will buy them, and that it is a good thing.
