We're inching that much closer toward the English Countryside with a new FarmVille loading screen that teases the expansions' new features. Of course, Sheep breeding, faster mastery, new crops and items will be aplenty in this brand new FarmVille, but Zynga is leaving out what's most interesting: a story. Finally, FarmVille will follow at least a small plot, something that plenty of similar Facebook games could benefit from. I'm more excited to help fix Duke's airship, make cheese with Lily and dig up artifacts with that ragged little boy. It's exciting to think about how Zynga's story-writing and character development skills might have improved. You say "hype train," but I say "optimism."
