I think I waited 5 days and thorns grew back.
Also, was there some kind of update yesterday or today? It's runs like molasses now, at work and at home. I know my computer is getting old but I would hope I can still play a flash game.

Thorns aren't random, lemme find out on Monday. Yea, that quest was a problem for me also but it was all put in (and I did the quest) before I started working on it so I'm not clear on debris growth details at the moment.

The debris growth is actually one of the more interesting parts of the game IMO; it reminds me of a cellular automata system (like the Game of Life) in that growth of certain things is influenced by other things nearby. If it were a little deeper I bet you could build an entire game around it.

Yeah, but can you get Joe Facebook to pay $20 for a stack of mitochondria?

Things are back to normal today, maybe even better. Still crashes pretty reliably with IE 6 though. |

IE 6 is for cavemen.

Well from the multitude of CRT's at my work we're not far from. I'm surprised we don't still have rotary phones.

Frontier Jack needs to plant himself some eggplant.

Frontier Jack's horse needs to count for the quests when feeding it. Too few of my neighbors have horses and they're always fed already when I'm visiting.
And trees sprout way too damn fast. I clean out everything in the open area where I'm letting stuff grow, next day I have 4-5 saplings already.

Too many sadistic quests. Just too many. I think I might be at my burnout-and-block point.  |

Talking about the master farmer quests? If so, things are in the works to make them less.... well, less "sadistic" as you put it.
I'm on those also for the record.

The thorn quest (with thorns that refuse to grow), the school marm quests (with collectibles that refuse to drop), dependencies on items that I either need to neighbor-whore for or spend ridiculous numbers of horseshoes on (why can't I spend my horseshoes on NPC "neighbors" like I can in Mafia Wars?)... I haven't even gotten to the "own 150 chickens" quest that I've heard about, which is good because I think it'd lock up my computer. When I started seriously contemplating making a bunch of Facebook alts to give me the requisite neighbor count I knew it was time to remove the app for a while. I'll check it out again when the stuff on the signs is implemented. Assuming I don't need to build any more buildings to get to that stuff.

OK. I'm done with Frontierville. I've been playing at least once per day, since this thread first appeared (thereby making me aware of the game). Here's my $20 beta run-down. It's long, so I'll spoiler it.

There is something seriously messed up for the neighbors for me. People I KNOW are playing and I KNOW have me as their neighbor and I KNOW I added to be my neighbor do not show up on my stupid neighbor bar. And yes I know about the arrows on the side, the game is just convinced these other people, who come to my farm and do chores for me do not exist. It MOSTLY annoys me because I can't go return the favor! >:(
