Why Do You Need So Many FrontierVille Neighbors?
FrontierVille is a game in the relatively new category of 'social games'.
Many people think this is only because it is played on the social network, Facebook.
While I'm sure this had a part in the naming, there is much more to it than that.
Games like FrontierVille are truly social in that you are playing with other people.
Unlike many other games where there may be other real people involved and sometimes even on your 'team' you also play against them.
In FrontierVille you are never really against other players but always working with them for mutual benefit.
One of the biggest pieces of this social game puzzle are your 'FrontierVille neighbors'.
These are other people that also play FrontierVille who you either invite to be your neighbor or they invite you.
Once a neighbor request has been sent and accepted you can visit each other's frontiers and help each other out in many ways.
As always, when helping your neighbors you are also getting a nice benefit.
The simple act of visiting someone else's frontier will get you experience, cloth and energy up to a daily limit.
This daily limit is increased the higher your heart level is which goes up from doing things on your neighbor's frontiers! A few common things you can do on your neighbor's frontier is 'fertilizing' their crops which will make them mature faster, 'grooming' their animals so they will be ready faster to feed again.
You can also harvest crops and animals for your neighbors.
Doing something like harvesting your neighbors crops is a huge help to both players because you get 'heart XP', food, items to complete collections and many other things.
Your neighbor, when he or she logs into their frontier, can accept your help and your actions will be performed on their frontier without using any of their own energy.
They will also get all the XP and food items they would have gotten for harvesting themselves.
If you've ever played FrontierVille you know that completing tasks without using your own energy is critical to success! This brings us to another important thing you can use your neighbors for.
You can 'hire' neighbors for 50 coins and have them perform a few tasks on your frontier! This uses none of your energy so it's a great way to clear out some trees or other debris on your frontier.
Once you hire your neighbor you have the option to send them an item as a thank you for their work on your frontier! You can only hire 2 neighbors per day, this can be bumped up to three per day by completing a specific 'school house assignment'.
I highly recommend completing this assignment and hiring three neighbors per day every day! By now you may be wondering what the best way to get new neighbors is.
The first step in acquiring new neighbors is to invite all your current Facebook friends to become FrontierVille neighbors.
Once you've done that you need to get a little creative in finding new neighbors.
The easiest and most common thing to do is find a forum about FrontierVille.
There are tons of them and most of them have a section where you can post your Facebook profile link and request that people invite you to become FrontierVille neighbors.
When they see your link they will send you a Facebook request and once you accept you can send them a FrontierVille neighbor request! It's an easy process and like everything in FrontierVille, It will help both you and your new neighbors!
