How to find and keep your neighbors

Number-wise, you can have as many neighbors as you want and you should have enough by looking through your own friend list so little effort is required. Just visit the My Neighbors tab at your farm to find out who is available to ask. If not many of your friends are Farmville players though, there is an option to invite them to play Farmville and become your neighbor. I bet your friends will not regret signing up. To make things more personal, you can send your friends each a private message via the Facebook private message function. In my experience sending a personal message encourages many more responses and your friends will be set up on Farmville as your neighbors in no time.

When you have a lot of neighbors, there is nothing stopping you from going having a nosy at their farms for some ideas for your own farm. It is also good to have a big selection of neighbors when your cash flow is a bit slower than normal, you can offer to help them out for some coins and experience points. You will also find that you will get a lot of gifts, adding extra bits to your farm for no cost at all. Send your neighbors gifts too and they are likely to return the favor. This is an excellent way to get ahead in the game, and it is something fun to do with your friends too!

Why Neighbors Are Important?

Having your own farm and getting everything all by yourself is fine, but it can only get so big. If you want a much bigger farm then you are going to have to enlist the help of your neighbors. The more neighbors you have, the less expansion will cost and the easier you will be able to do it, and you should have no shortage of friends considering that this game is played on Facebook.

More Friends, More Neighbors!

The easiest way to gain neighbors is to ask your friends to play with you. Even if they’re not active players, as long as they sign up and accept you as a neighbor, then they will continue to be and you will gain the rewards for that. Chances are that at least 20% of your friends are already playing this game, so finding neighbors among them shouldn't be too difficult. You can find out which of your friends are already playing by clicking on the “My Neighbors” tab on you’re farm.
