Happy Island: Undersea Explorer resurfaces for the second time
Happy Island Undersea Explorer returns
First seen in early April, Happy Island's Undersea Explorer made a comeback at the end of the month citing "popular demand." And now, it's back again. Its price remains one of the most expensive Facebook items ever, and while it costs 199 Facebook Credits, which is exactly $19.90 USD, the payment page isn't going to let you off unless you fork over that extra dime.
Buying the Explorer entitles the owner to 10,000 daily free coins and the possibility of special items it might scrounge up on the ocean floor. No one knows what those may be. But we can bet Crowdstar loves this thing, seeing how many times they've resurrected it from Limited Offer status.

Social City: Host your own World Cup with a Limited Edition stadium
Not since May, have we seen a piece of Social City Limited Edition real estate as large (a 3x3 grid) and with such high stats as this new World Cup Stadium. Because stats-wise, it's a clone of the discontinued Football Stadium, sharing the same numbers of an amazing 60,000+ Happiness Points, and earning 10,000 Coins every 2 days. But the Football Stadium went for 69 City Bucks and this one is being sold for 65 CB. Rounding up, and going by the smallest price package currently being offered (55 City Bucks for $4.99 USD), that's about $9 USD.
This stadium will be around while supplies last, and there are still currently 17,627 buildings left at the in-game store. You can find it by clicking the "News" icon of the folded newspaper in the game. If you happen to miss this, Social City's new Gala Raffle feature can give you the opportunity of nailing this stadium for a much lower price, but that'll be long after this stadium's gone, and only if you get lucky.

Social City secretly ups the price on Mandatory Caffeination
Social City Factory Information Instant Caffeination more expensive
In Social City, factories are a player's major source of income. Depending on what a player chooses to manufacture, completion times and rewards would vary. But yesterday, the game came up with two great ideas that offer players options to increase production speed for a little bit of effort or real world cash.
The free option is called the Motivational Poster, an item that needs to be solicited from other Social City players via Facebook wall posts. This item boosts the speed of manufacture by 20%. The cash option is called Mandatory Caffeination, allows players to instantly complete production, and originally cost only 1 City Buck.
Yes, I say "originally" because the cost was quietly increased to 2 City Bucks within the last 24 hours. You can easily see this by comparing screenshots from yesterday's factory information and today's (see top image).

FarmVille's update tonight is 'big' says Zynga insider
A source at Zynga says that FarmVille will undergo an update tonight and that it will be "big." The details on what will be released in our favorite farming game have not been detailed, but keep an eye out.
From our source:
"I don't have the exact details to share just yet, but our update tonight will be pretty significant. More details to follow..."
What could it be? We know that the Farmer's Market was released and that was a 'big' update. A graphical change? Is it Zynga's new game portal called Zynga Live (or Zlive.com) that we heard about a few months ago? Stay turned.

Restaurant City's groovy Psychedelic Theme arrives full of flower power
restaurant city psychedelic theme
Restaurant City continues to embrace the grooviest decade ever with their new Psychedelic 60s theme. Last week, Restaurant City took a more hip approach to the decade with their 60s Pop Chic theme and Magic Box. This week, we're getting nice and relaxed with the new psychedelic decor. Some special guests are in town too. Distant cousins of The Beatles: John Lemon, George Halibut, Mango Star, and Paul Macaroni can be purchased to play in your restaurant.

Personally, I'm a huge Beatles fan and a big fan of relaxing. I'm not old enough to know much about hippies, but I'm sure they were nice people. I'm definitely going to be getting on some of these awesome 60s items to hopefully peer into a decade i wasn't lucky enough to experience. Although, if I had to choose just one 60s item to purchase out of both the Psychedelic and Pop Chic themes, it would definitely be the Tie Dye Shirt. In fact, you can expect every one of my employees to be wearing it because that is an excellent piece of clothing. Far out.

PopCap's ball-busting game Zuma heads to Facebook
PopCap, the makers of Bejeweled Blitz and Plants vs. Zombies, announced today that it's bringing its ball-busting game Zuma to Facebook.
The game -- called Zuma Blitz -- will have a virtual currency which can be used to buy power-ups, an experience points system which will unlock advanced features, regular installments of new levels -- and much like Bejeweled Blitz -- weekly tournaments and real-time leaderboards where you can see how your score, medals and achievements stack up against your friends on Facebook. Zuma Blitz will also borrow the killer app from Bejeweled Blitz -- a time limit of 60 seconds in which you bust as many balls as possible.
"Zuma is a very different game than Bejeweled, so the social adaptation has gone in different directions," PopCap Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Jason Kapalka says. "Zuma is already a fast-paced arcade game, so the challenge was to make it feel approachable to players of all skill levels, even with just sixty seconds to play."
If this Blitz does for Zuma what it did for Bejeweled, we predict months of breaking balls on Facebook (and possibly iPhone) in the near future. PopCap says a beta version of the game will roll out "gradually" in about three weeks.

The Beatles make an appearance in Restaurant City
restaurant city beatles
As part of Restaurant City's new 60s Psychedelic Theme, the world's most famous band has made an appearance in a Facebook game. Though, it isn't exactly the four artists we've come to love. To avoid paying royalties, Restaurant City has changed the names of the band-mates slightly, but not so much that we weren't able to immediately recognize them.
Continue reading to check out the hilarious restaurant themed names and discover what it'll cost you to have them play at your eatery.

restaurant city beatles
restaurant city beatlesWe're surprised to see that George Harrison and Ringo are the more expensive Beatles when it is Paul and John who get most of the press and credit. Perhaps Restaurant City did Beatles fans a service by making the more popular band mates cheaper. Either way, everyone knows its no use having just one of the members, most of the solo albums were but a fraction of the quality the entire band displayed. If you get one, you have to buy all four, no question.
Restaurant City even included a hippy who could very well be a Beatles fan. My guess is his favorite album is Magical Mystery Tour, and his favorite songs: 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'I Am the Walrus.'
Head to Restaurant City to check out the Beatles (or, rather, their impersonations). Perhaps even purchase the band to forever play in your very restaurant. What an honor that would be. Finally, we'd like to award kudos to Restaurant City for awesomeness.

The Expendables 8-Bit Game: Play 'Contra' as Jet Li, Jason Statham, and Stallone
While Mafia Wars teased us with questions about which of our favorite action heroes we'd like to see in their game, someone out there, while also promoting "The Expendables" movie, actually did something about it. Cause dropped into today's page 9 of the daily rag amNewYork, a journalistic gutter of miscellany, is a four-sentence paragraph on the coolest Facebook advergame to hit the scene:
How to promote an '80s movie throwback? With an '80s video game throwback, of course! A Facebook game for the upcoming action flick "The Expendables" is ripped from Nintendo's "Contra," complete with a jungle and steep difficulty level. Let's see if that Konami code still works!
If none of those words made sense to you, Google is your friend (and those links to Wikipedia I've snuck into that paragraph). Let's just say the common consensus is that if you already know what 'Contra' is, you'd be squeeing like a schoolgirl with a Spread Gun right now. If you don't know 'Contra', then this might not be for you. But if you don't play it, then you won't know if you'll like it. But if you do play it, unlock Bonus Mode, and end up as a Top 10 score, you'll have a chance to win "SOME SWEET EXPENDABLES S@H*!"
Expendables Facebook fanpage 8-Bit game annoucement
So people might not be psyched about that last bit, cause it does involve having a Facebook account, liking the film's official fanpage, and clicking 'allow' on the app's page, all to access the game. Sure, us Facebook gaming regulars have no trouble or qualms with that, but for the rest of you, note that you can also play it on the site of the game's publisher, Break Games.

Treasure Isle lost peacocks are homeward bound
Folks, you aren't going to believe this, but there are peacocks lost around Treasure Isle! I have no idea how they got there seeing as peacocks can barely fly or swim. Nonetheless they are lost and looking for homes (just like that movie with the two dogs and the cat). Poor guys. Perhaps a peacock shipment to a nearby zoo crashed and emptied its feathery cargo into the Treasure Isle archipelago. If you have any better theories let me know...
The only way to get a peacock of your own is by making your friends play a lot of Treasure Isle. Eventually a lost peacock will show up and your friend will be able to put it up for adoption for you to take home. Like other lost animals in Facebook games, if you find the animal you can't keep it yourself, so you better hope your friends are feeling generous.

Zoo Paradise releases Nine Tailed Foxes with growable tails
Zoo Paradise Nine Tailed Foxes
Crowdstar's hit Zoo Paradise released a pair of sly foxes today in two different colors, and they're not just any regular fox. These foxes start out with just one tail and as you feed them and care for them every day, they grow additional tails! Not exactly realistic, but definitely an interesting concept that players might actually be fond of. They also become more valuable the more tails they have, as each additional tail provides more XP and coins when you feed them. To feed them, you simply have to come back every day and click on them to make sure they're satisfied.
The Nine Tailed Fox costs a whopping 99 Facebook Credits, and the White Nine Tailed Fox costs 89 Facebook Credits. We happen to think the white one is cuter, so we're surprised it is the cheaper one! There are only 5500 white foxes available as of this writing, and the regular brown fox has no limit to the amount available.

FarmVille Players Unite for Haiti with School of Choice promotion, Sweet Beets & Haiti co-op mission
farmville sweet seeds for haiti school of choice
Once again FarmVille is calling its players to support a cause benefiting Haiti.
With the "L' Ecole de Choix" or "School of Choice" promotion, farmers can purchase with farm cash or ask for and send free virtual school supplies to fill up their "Backpacks" to benefit fund raising efforts in Haiti that will go towards the building of a new school.
Continue reading to find out more about the FarmVille Sweet Seeds for Haiti School of Choice promotion. farmville sweet seeds for haiti school of choice
Every farmer can find their free Backpack in their FarmVille Gift Box. The Backpack serves as the hub for this event, where you can access all additional details and progress.
This event works similar to other Limited Edition collecting events such as the past Tuscan Wedding or holiday events. By accessing your Backpack and "Looking Inside", you will be able to track your own progress, see a neighbor comparison, or learn more about the school and Zynga's campaign efforts in Haiti.
5 School Supplies can be purchased directly for 5 FV$ farm cash. You may purchase them via your Backpack or directly through the FarmVille Market.
After collecting so many virtual school supplies, you can trade them in and redeem them for special prizes. The prizes are Hatian themed and are not available for purchase in the FarmVille Market.

Zynga is promising to donate 100% of the proceeds from this "School of Choice" promotion. Additionally, if farmers send at least 400,000,000 virtual school supplies, Zynga will donate $100,000 to build a new school in Haiti.

Once again FarmVille is calling its players to support a cause benefiting Haiti.
With the "L' Ecole de Choix" or "School of Choice" promotion, farmers can purchase with farm cash or ask for and send free virtual school supplies to fill up their "Backpacks" to benefit fund raising efforts in Haiti that will go towards the building of a new school.

Every farmer can find their free Backpack in their FarmVille Gift Box. The Backpack serves as the hub for this event, where you can access all additional details and progress.
This event works similar to other Limited Edition collecting events such as the past Tuscan Wedding or holiday events. By accessing your Backpack and "Looking Inside", you will be able to track your own progress, see a neighbor comparison, or learn more about the school and Zynga's campaign efforts in Haiti.
5 School Supplies can be purchased directly for 5 FV$ farm cash. You may purchase them via your Backpack or directly through the FarmVille Market.
After collecting so many virtual school supplies, you can trade them in and redeem them for special prizes. The prizes are Hatian themed and are not available for purchase in the FarmVille Market.

Zynga is promising to donate 100% of the proceeds from this "School of Choice" promotion. Additionally, if farmers send at least 400,000,000 virtual school supplies, Zynga will donate $100,000 to build a new school in Haiti.

PetVille Block Party is going to rock your digital socks off
Summer has almost officially ended and this is our last chance to get out in the middle of the street and make complete fools of ourselves at the dunk tank. And Zynga wouldn't pass at an opportunity like that with PetVille's Block Party.
However, for this block party to be completely awesome, PetVille is going to need one million players to each send and accept invitations in-game for it to go down. However, Zynga is keeping things very viral for the moment, with scant details on what exactly is going to happen at this party.
They're hopeful just the excitement of one last block party for 2010 will give enough incentive to spread the word. So, who cares about what's going to happen! Go off and spread the news (we're sure there's gonna' be free stuff).

Zoo World developer RockYou suffers massive layoff
RockYou, one of the top 10 Facebook application developers, has laid off a huge portion of their staff today, according to TechCrunch. RockYou is most known in the social gaming space for their title Zoo World and their new game Toy Land, but have also achieved massive success with their Birthday Cards application. The developer, based out of Redwood City, California, has stated that this layoff was a restructuring of the company in order to support their new direction of solely creating social games. Though the article at TechCrunch reports that less than half of the company was laid off, a commenter who claims to be one of those who were let go today has stated that the number was closer to 70% of the company. (Edit: A source from RockYou has contacted us to correct this statement, saying that it was actually around 30%, mostly engineering and not game development.)
RockYou has raised over 125 million dollars in funding to date, and has almost 24,000 monthly active users across all of their applications. With all of the buzz around acquisitions, funding, and positive growth for social games, it's disappointing to see a major loss like this for one of the largest Facebook game companies. A quick glimpse at the jobs page on the RockYou website shows over 25 jobs available, most in the areas of Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing.

Breaking: FarmVille, Facebook apps busted for sharing your personal info with advertisers
The Wall Street Journal reports that top Facebook applications, including FarmVille, Zynga Texas Hold 'Em Poker and FrontierVille, have been sharing your Facebook ID number to advertising and Internet tracking companies without your knowledge.
This is a violation of Facebook policy, which prohibits app makers from sharing your personal information to outside companies without "explicit user consent."
"The apps reviewed by the Journal were sending Facebook ID numbers to at least 25 advertising and data firms, several of which build profiles of Internet users by tracking their online activities."
Facebook responded in this blog post, saying that the WSJ report is 'exaggerated' and that developers unintentionally shared user info with outside companies.
"Recently, it has come to our attention that several applications built on Facebook Platform were passing the User ID (UID), an identifier that we use within our APIs, in a manner that violated this policy. In most cases, developers did not intend to pass this information, but did so because of the technical details of how browsers work.
Press reports have exaggerated the implications of sharing a UID. Knowledge of a UID does not enable anyone to access private user information without explicit user consent. Nevertheless, we are committed to ensuring that even the inadvertent passing of UIDs is prevented and all applications are in compliance with our policy."
In the meantime, Facebook has shut down several applications that violate this policy (including several from Critter Island maker LOL Apps) and are hunting for a larger solution to make sure your information is kept safe and away from the hands of data mining companies.
"We have experience addressing this sort of issue previously, although the technical challenges here are greater. We are talking with our key partners and the broader Web community about possible solutions. We will have more details over the course of the next few days."
Facebook has been taking a well-publicized beating this year on user privacy, and this news will certainly not help the social network's 500+ million users feel confident that their personal information is safe, despite recent efforts to do just that.
We've contacted FarmVille-maker Zynga for an official comment. Stay tuned.

FarmVille increases Garden Shed storage capacity
farmville garden shed storage capacity
Thank you to Farmvilla for alerting us to a welcome change to the FarmVille Garden Shed.
It seems FarmVille has heard one of our pleas, the one to increase storage capacity for flower bunches. Today, many farmers are noticing their Garden Sheds now hold 100 bunches, instead of the previous 30.
It's a shame this wasn't implemented earlier with some of the great limited edition flowers we've seen. At least now we can keep a few more of our favorites or Limited Edition bunches for future use or collecting.

FarmVille gets the Farmers Insurance blimp to protect your crops, win a ride on it
Farmers Insurance Airship
Another week, another brand promotion in FarmVille. In a promotion that probably should have happened ages ago, Zynga has teamed up with the Farmers Insurance group to provide players with complete crop protection for 10 days, or until Oct. 27. Players will find the zeppelin inside their gifts menu and once it's placed on their farm, nothing will wither for that time.
Better yet, it's completely free. Well, we did say you could win a ride on the thing (dang, and I wanted it to myself), so all you need to do is "Like" the Farmers Insurance page and you'll be entered to win a ride on the largest commercial zeppelin in the world. Sound cool enough? We thought so. Oddly enough, a promotion from this insurance company is even better than the McDonald's one recently. I mean, you have The Hamburglar; how do you mess that up?

City Of Wonder: Construct the stunning Taj Mahal with Gifts of Wonder
Taj Mahal
Since we doubt many of you have experienced the loss of a Mughal empress, express your eternal love for... games with the Taj Mahal in City of Wonder. The next phase in both Playdom's India Week and Gifts of Wonder recurring event, players can gift each other one piece of the Wonder for the next five days in order to build the magnificient structure. One of the most recognizable pieces of architecture on the planet, we're sure it'll at least turn some heads in City of Wonder.
All you need to do is log in each day and send your friends the Taj Mahal-themed building that unlocks that day (it wouldn't hurt to request the buildings either). Today starts with the the Taj Mahal Tower, an a crimson defense building with 7 Attack and 15 Defense. Here's a list of what impressive architecture you'll find over the next five days:
Day Two: Taj Mahal Pool (100 Happiness, 10 Culture)
Day Three: Taj Mahal Mosque (90 Happiness, 9 Culture)
Day Four: Taj Mahal Gate (80 Happiness, 8 Culture)
Days Five and Six: Taj Mahal Wall (4 Attack, 18 Defense)
Going through the next six, arduous days of gifting and collecting all five buildings will finally reward you with the Taj Mahal. The iconic mausoleum grants players with 900 Happiness, 180 Culture and another two percent bonus to total Culture and Happiness. Aside from being a tribute to one of the most beautiful buildings in the history of the world, we'd say these stats make it more than worth the effort.

Cafe World: Grab 6 Free Cafe Cash in 3 Quick Surveys
Cafe Cash from Cafe World: Tom's of Maine, Anthem, and Windows Phone
Log into Facebook and click on the Earn Café Cash tab in Cafe World for 6 more Cafe Cash this week. We've already given you guys the rundown on the 1 free Cafe Cash from the Morning Glory movie trailer, plus another 2 free Cafe Cash from the Diet Dew flavors survey. Now, there's three more offers that each grant 2 Cafe Cash each.
The first one is a poll from Tom's of Maine, a company that prides itself on environmentally friendly, personal care products. This isn't the first time we've seen this same exact promotion, because back in September, they were offering 3 Cafe Cash instead. And like last time, you just have to view their commercial and answer a multiple choice questionnaire.
Cafe World free Cash Cash: Anthem
The second survey is from Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, a brand-face of Wellpoint, which is an immense health insurance company that's worth billions. In this survey, you're given the option to pick an 'expert' so they can give you tips in the following categories: Disease Prevention, Health Decisions, Exercise, and Diet.
Cafe World Anthem Health Tip
I went with Exercise. You read the tip, then click "Next", where you'll be invited to share one. And because what you write is going to be seen by the next person, try to be nice about it! As for myself, I wrote down the one major bit of health advice I always hear from people, and that's "30 min. of cardio daily." After you've typed in your tip and clicked "Share", you'll be awarded with 2 free Cafe Cash, and you get to see the last three health tips left by other people.
Windows Phone commercial
Finally, there's the Windows Phone survey, which is a clever way to make you watch three different commercials from Microsoft. On the bright side, these are pretty funny commercials. They all involve people doing stupid things cause they're too busy staring at their shiny phones. All you have to do is click "VOTE", then "Next", and you'll be directed to a pie chart showing you how everyone else voted.
Windows Phone Cafe World pie chart
It's a pretty even split, but the baseball video seems to be the best. Then again, it's hard to tell with these surveys, because most people will just click the first choice of everything they see. Not that I'd blame them, as it's often the fastest way to breeze through a poll. I went for the baseball one too, because that kid could throw.

Cafe World Special Deliveries now available daily through Bookmark
Special Delivery through Bookmark
You'll make that Collections Cabinet in no time through Cafe World's brand new daily bonus. Players who log into the game through Facebook's Bookmark feature will be rewarded with a Special Delivery once daily. Special Deliveries are, for lack of a better word, smart items. Depending on what items you're currently crafting, a Special Delivery will always be a component to one of those items. For instance, if you're in the middle of building the Drink Bar and still need a few Buckets of Ice, a Special Delivery sent to you is guaranteed to hold a Bucket of Ice inside unless you need any other item parts. Then, it becomes randomized within the parts that you need.
In other words, Special Deliveries are awesome and you're probably going to want to take advantage of this. If you haven't already bookmarked Cafe World, you'll see an icon on the left side of your screen that will guide you through the whole process easily. For those who already have, enjoy the fast lane to new crafted items.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Mini Black Stallion & Mini Black Stallion Foal
This weekend has been a good one for the released of leaked images from FarmVille, allowing us to bring you another FarmVille Sneak Peek, which contains images of items that may or may not be coming to FarmVille in the near future.
This time around, we've spotted images of a Mini Black Stallion, perfect for those users that are tired of waiting for the Wandering Stallion to appear and help them breed foals in the Horse Stable. We're assuming this Stallion will be sold in the store for Farm Cash, but of course that hasn't been confirmed as of this writing.
The Black Stallion Foal, then, is what we're assuming would be produced when a Mini Black Stallion is placed inside the Horse Stable.
As usual, there is no guarantee that these animals will actually be released in the game, so keep that in mind.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Train Station & Santa's Post Office
by Brandy Shaul, Posted Nov 28th 2010 12:03PM
In anticipation of the upcoming Winter Holiday season, we've come across new leaked images of some unreleased Winter Holiday items in FarmVille, allowing us to bring you a sneak peek of these items, that may or may not be coming to FarmVille in the near future.
This time around, we have images of a holiday-themed Train Station, and a Santa's Post Office building. The Train Station will go fabulously with the also (as-of-now) unreleased Winter Holiday Train that we told you about a few days ago. We're guessing it will be available for Farm Cash, although there's no official confirmation of that as-of-now.
The other building, the Santa's Post Office is a lovely, colorful building with shipping boxes piled up to one side, showing just how much mail the big man receives every year.
As usual, there is no guarantee that these items will actually be launched in the game, so keep that in mind.

FrontierVille Sneak Peek: Yellow Snow, Train Set, Tangled Lights, Snow Jack & More
If you're looking forward to Winter and Christmas in FrontierVille as much as we are, you'll love looking at these new leaked images of unreleased Winter Holiday items in FrontierVille, which may or may not be launching in the game in the near future.
There are an absolute treasure trove of items available to look at here. Listed from left to right (in the image above), we believe the items are called: Yellow Snow (or Yellow Snow Sign), Train Set, Tangled Lights, Snow Jack, Snow Fox, Santa's Chair, Santa's Sleigh, Pile O' Snowballs, Mistletoe, and Mini Snowman.
These items show off just a portion of what we believe Zynga will be offering in the game this Winter Holiday season, although it is still unknown as to whether or not these items will be those that are available to purchase in the store, whether they are collection items, mission rewards, or even free gifts.
We'll be sure to bring you all of those details as they become available, but remember that there is no guarantee we'll see all or even any of these items in the game.

We'll be sure to bring you all of those details as they become available, but remember that there is no guarantee we'll see all or even any of these items in the game.

It's already time for another FrontierVille Sneak Peek of Winter Holiday items, as this new set of unreleased items simply can't be contained! There are tons of new images left to share with you guys, of these items that may or may not be coming to the game this Winter / Holiday season. For a look at the other items we've found, check out this post.
Listed from left to right in the image above, we believe these new items are called: Sack O' Gifts, Red Nutcracker, Green Nutcracker, Blue Nutcracker, Red Luminaire, Luminaire, Green Luminaire, Mini Gingerbread House, Lighted Sleigh, Lighted Sign, Lighted Fence, Lawn Rudolph, Lawn Reindeer, Lawn Buck, Holiday Bells, Festive Sleigh, Holiday Stocking, Candy Stocking, Candy Cane Fence, Ball Ornament.
With simply so many icons to look at, it should be noted that we don't know, as of yet, which of these items will be available to purchase in the store as regular decorations, or whether any of them will be collection items, mission rewards, or even free gifts. Additionally, there is no guarantee that we'll actually see these items released in the game, so keep that in mind.

FrontierVille Sneak Peek: Winter / Christmas Avatar Costumes
In addition to the loads of decorative, collection, and mission based items we've spotted so far this morning, we've also come across three images of unreleased Winter Holiday costumes in FrontierVille.
Similar to the Halloween costumes, these costumes are for your avatar, and we're assuming they will be available either to purchase from the Tailor Shop, or as rewards for finishing what is sure to be a large line-up of Winter Holiday themed missions.
The three costumes are (from left to right in the image above): Santa Claus Costume, Mrs. Claus Costume, and an Elf Costume.
Again, there is no guarantee that any of these items will officially be released in the game, and any information about their pricing and function is as-of-yet unknown, so keep that in mind.

FrontierVille Gift Missions arrive with quests, loot and good cheer
Three new Gift Missions
So, this is what they meant by repeatable. Zynga just released three new sets of Gift Missions in FrontierVille. All of which we already covered here in previews, these missions each come with a bonus item for each purchase and are available for coins.Check out each package and what you'll get below:
Home Heating (500 coins): Heating Your Homestead mission and one of five decorations
Holiday Ready (1,000 coins): Holiday Decoratin' and Holiday Celebratin' missions plus one of four decorations
Winter's a Comin' (2,000 coins): Winter's Journey, Winter's a Comin' and Creature Comforts missions with one of three special holiday animals
Thankfully, all these mission packs cost mere coins and can be bought over and over. Better yet, they don't seem to have an expiration date like the Timed Missions nor do they look like they're going away anytime soon. My guess is that people are going to be scrounging for coins within the next few weeks. Just don't spend too much as a lot of awesome items are incoming too.
