CityVille Promo Eskimo Gnome
This holiday is unexpectedly going to be jam-packed in FarmVille, if the FarmVille Freak team's recent findings are any indication. With a slew of items most likely on their way before 2010 is through, our inventories are about to become quite crowded with holiday-themed items like more Gnomes, Ornaments and snowy items than you can shake a yule log at.
First things first, it looks like the CityVille promotions are about to become much more intense with this ambiguously-named CityVille Promo item. Most likely, it will play out like cross-promotional events in the past, granting the item--featuring a Cow and Chicken team of contractors--to FarmVille veterans for leveling up in CityVille.
Find more details (and candid speculation) on this long list of items after the break.
Turtle Doves 2010 FarmVille Ornament Pinecone Mailbox
A new duo of Gnomes will make their way into FarmVille in time for the snowfall in adorable Eskimo and Reindeer varieties. And to wish us all a Merry Christmas, a new 2010 FarmVille Christmas Tree Ornament could be waiting for us beneath the Holiday Tree this Dec. 25.
And in the odd realm of Holiday-themed items, a pair of Turtle Doves will be fluttering into FarmVille shortly along with a Pinecone Mailbox. Since these are both decidedly Christmas-themed, expect them them to arrive sometime this week before the big day.
Snowpile Horse Fountain Fireworks Winter Snowshoes Waterfall Fireworks
Rounding out the list are a Snowpile Horse and Winter Snowshoes, which look exactly how they sound--a Horse stuck in a pile of snow and a pair of Snowshoes. Lastly, Fireworks await us to celebrate the New Year! Coming in Fountain and Waterfall varieties, 2011 is coming in with a bang in FarmVille. Stay tuned for when these items released and right here for more details on any changes.
Find the rest of our Holiday 2010 coverage right here.

CityVille Cheats and Tips: How to move, sell and delete items
cityville cheats move items
cityville cheats how to move itemsIf you've been playing CityVille for a while, you know the importance of moving and deleting items. Moving decorations and organizing your buildings can earn you thousands of extra coins for very little energy. Unfortunately though, many people just aren't sure how to move or delete their items. This makes decorating and reorganizing your CityVille city a daunting task. Fortunately for you, moving and deleting items is extremely simple. Unlike other city building games like Millionaire City, CityVille lets you move items for free, no money, bots, or cheats required.
To move an item, building, decoration, or some other CityVille structure, simple click on the arrow or cursor button at the bottom right of the screen (pictured above). It can be found above the 'Build' button and left of the button that contains your Inventory, Collections, and Franchises.
Click the cursor button and a menu will open allowing you to either move, rotate, or sell an item. When you're done moving items, click the Stop icon where the cursor icon used to be. Simple.

CityVille beats FarmVille's best numbers, shatters and sets records
CityVille is huge
It looks like Zynga and the CityVille team have received a New Year's gift now, too. (In fact, CityVille doesn't seem to need an occasion anymore.) TechCrunch reports that CityVille has become the biggest social game to ever grace Facebook, breaking FarmVille's record-setting peak of nearly 83.8 million monthly players in March 2010 with 84.2 million monthly players. Zynga's most recent social-gaming juggernaut has been shattering records since it launched early in Dec. 2010, but this is a first for both CityVille and the Facebook game genre altogether.
We've all said that the growth has to plateau at some point, but continues surging upward, blowing away our expectations and doubts without much more than a few stutters, according to a chart provided by Inside Social Games (ISG). It's ISG that also predicts CityVille to reach 125 million players at some point in 2011. Well, if the game keeps soaring at this rate of almost two million new monthly players daily, it's only a matter of time before CityVille at least reaches 100 million. Either way, CityVille is already the most popular social game to date in the genre's infantile lifespan. That is until Zynga launches something else, of course.

CityVille: Bonuses being offered for first neighbor visits
If you didn't have any incentive to add new neighbors to your account in CityVille before, Zynga is hoping that a new change will be just the push you need to do so. From now on, the first time you visit a neighbor (that being the very first time after adding that user as a neighbor), you'll receive 500 bonus coins, 10 bonus experience points, and 10 free energy.
While those three items individually might not seem to amount to much, let's say you took advantage of this offer by adding ten new neighbors to your account. Suddenly, that 500 coins has turned into 5,000, the 10 energy has turned into 100 energy and the ten experience points has become 100 - not so shabby now, is it?
Remember, you might always be able to add new friends to you account by checking on the neighbors tab above the CityVille gameplay area. Here, you'll be able to see all of the users that have installed the game, but have yet to add you as a neighbor, and you can conveniently send them a neighbor request from this screen. Just don't forget to visit their city at least once to take advantage of these new bonuses!
What do you think of these new rewards for visiting neighbors? Will you add new neighbors just to earn bonus XP or coins?

CityVille Get Noodle-ing & Time to Go Lunar Goals: Everything you need to know
As we told you over the weekend, Zynga has launched a Chinese / Lunar New Year themed set of missions in CityVille, the first of which rewarded you with the ability to purchase a new Noodle Shop from the store. Now, two more missions are available called "Get Noodle-ing" and "Time to Go Lunar," with the first requiring you to, you guessed it, purchase a Noodle Shop for your town.
There are two other tasks to complete as well. You can't simply build the Noodle Shop, but you must also collect from it a total of five times. You'll also need to mail your Lunar New Year presents at the Post Office (or simply collect the bonus from the Post Office two times).
The Noodle Shop itself can be purchased from the store for 4,000 coins, and it requires 90 Goods to operate. Simply wait for those goods to run out five times and you'll have this goal finished. The reward for this mission is a Dragon Dancers item. You can share free goods with your friends on your wall.
Meet us behind the break for a look at the second of these two goals.
Time to Go Lunar is an entirely different quest - the third (in total) of the new Lunar New Year mission series. Just like those before it, this one requires you to complete three tasks:
Ask friends for 8 Red Envelopes
Have 1 Lunar Gate
Click on 20 Neighbor Businesses
In other words, you'll need to visit at least four neighbors, clicking on their businesses to send tour buses. The Lunar Gate, meanwhile, can be purchased from the store for 4,000 coins. It will provide a bonus payout to surrounding structures of 3%. Once you finish this mission, you'll receive the Fireworks Shop, which can be stocked with 100 Goods.
As of this writing, this is as far as the Chinese / Lunar New Year set of missions goes, but we'll be sure to let you know if Zynga adds additional quests or items to the game in the future.
What do you think of these two goals? Will you focus on these goals first, or will you try to tackle any older goals before moving on

CityVille: Celebrate Moms with new businesses and 20% off City Cash
As with many other Zynga games, CityVille is hosting its own Mother's Day event, offering users the chance to purchase two new businesses, along with offering a discount on City Cash. The two businesses are the Perfume Shop and the Candle Shop, with the Perfume Shop being available only for the next week.
The Perfume Shop, being the more exclusive item, costs City Cash - 32 City Cash, to be exact. You'll supply the business with 150 Goods to get started, and can then collect 800 coins from the building by default. The Candle Shop, meanwhile, costs just 2,500 coins to build, and requires only 100 Goods to run. You'll earn 420 coins each time you collect from the building, without the help of any surrounding bonus decorations.
As for the City Cash "discount," this is again a situation where bonus might have been a more appropriate word. For all players that redeem a Game Card (bought in the real world) or an eCard (bought online), you'll receive 20% more City Cash than you would normally. You won't save any money on your purchase of the Gift Card or eCard - your money will just go to buy more City Cash in the long run. This sale will be available until May 8 at 9PM PST, so don't miss your chance at free City Cash while it's available!

CityVille: Influence the future of gameplay by joining the Citizen's Advisory Board
Here's a scenario for you. What would you do if you were given the opportunity to speak directly to Zynga about the things you like (or don't) in CityVille, knowing that they would actually listen to what you had to say? That'd be a pretty good scenario, right? The ability to actually cause change? Few can argue that the game has suffered its fair share of ups and downs, but now, Zynga is looking for a group of dedicated game players that are willing to share their every thought about the game on a new Citizen's Advisory Board, with the hope of improving it.
Think of this as a sort of town-hall meeting. You, along with a group of other players, will be able to discuss your thoughts on as-of-now-unknown topics (best guess would be recently released features, or perhaps those in development), all with the goal of something constructive coming out of each discussion. While Zynga looks to appreciate players' opinions, they do warn that you'll need to be able to listen to counter-arguments and other players' thoughts that will be different from your own without causing a fuss.
This being the case, not every player can be on the Citizen's Advisory Board, and you must first submit a formal application to be considered. You don't need to be a hardcore, I-play-12-hours-everyday kind of player either. So long as you're knowledgeable about what makes CityVille tick, and are willing to share your opinion in a polite way, you can apply. There's no telling how many users will be allowed on this board, or how often these future discussions will take place, but if you've ever wanted to speak your mind and know your voice was being heard (let's face it, there are too many forum posts for each to be read constructively), this is a great opportunity. Hopefully, Zynga will actually use fan reactions to actually improve the game, rather than ignore the fan base entirely as seems to be the case elsewhere...
Will you sign up to be a member of the Citizen's Advisory Board? What sorts of suggestions would you make for Zynga if they ask for your opinions on CityVille?

CityVille says Viva Mexico! with new Mexican themed items
To celebrate Mexican Independence, Zynga has launched a full theme of Mexican themed items in CityVille this afternoon. These items range from small decorations to large landmarks, so we'll make sure to give you a complete rundown on these items to know what to expect. Keep in mind, while they do have a longer time limit than usual at anywhere from 12-14 days (the usual being a week), they will eventually vanish from the store, so do some shopping sooner, rather than later. Here's what's available:
Ice Cream Cart (Decoration)
Costs: 5,000 coins
Payout Bonus: 3% to surrounding businesses and homes; bonus 3% to Mexico themed items
Guerrero Residence (Home)
Costs: 40 City Cash
Population: 600-1200
Rent: 296 coins every 18 hours
Sombrero Store (Business)
Costs: 6,800 coins
Requires: 170 Goods
Supplies: 1,024 coins
Garcia House (Home)
Costs: 13,500 coins
Population: 120-240
Rent: 18 coins every five minutes
Watch Tower (Decoration)
Costs: 24 City Cash
Payout Bonus: 24%; bonus 24% to Mexican themed items
Mayan Pyramid (Decoration)
Costs: 72,000 coins
Payout Bonus: 12%; bonus 12% to Mexican themed items
Not Limited Edition!
Morelos Fort (Community Building)
Costs: 70 City Cash
Allows: 2,000 citizens added to max population cap
Hacienda de Dolores (Home)
Costs: 65 City Cash
Population: 1850-3650
Rent: 451 coins every 3.1 days
House of Churros (Business)
Costs: 40 City Cash
Requires: 305 Goods
Supplies: 1648 coins
On top of all of this, there's also a Mexico Mystery Crate available for 40 City Cash that contains one of four items: the Morelos Fort, Hacienda de Dolores, Guerrero Residence or House of Churros. Sure, you'd get two items from this crate at a discounted price, but remember that there's no guarantee you won't receive duplicates when purchasing more than one crate. That is, if you're going for both the Hacienda and the Fort, you may very well end up with two House of Churros instead.
Either way, we'll make sure to let you know if other items are added in this Mexican Independence celebration theme, but we wouldn't be surprised if it's a one-time-deal.
What do you think of this new theme of items? Which ones have you purchased for your town and which ones will you skip?

CityVille: Russian-themed items available for a limited time
After releasing Mexican-themed items in CityVille in celebration of the Mexican Independence Day, it looks like Zynga wasn't ready to leave the international travel behind just yet, as it has released a set of Russian items into the store. As usual, you can expect to find businesses, homes, decorations and more available here, so read on for a complete overview of these items.
