Now seems like as good a time as ever to wipe those rotted plants and put your dimwitted builders back to work. The folks behind ngmoco’s We Rule have updated the title with several new crops and buildings — and even more is on the way.
In a recent post on the ngmoco official blog, studio CEO Neil Young outlined the new content that came in an update last week: The Barn & Ox pairing and a range of fresh crops.
The Barn is a simple red building that comes with one four-legged bovine that grazes among the builders. The crops are different breeds of beasts than the casual addition of a building. The magic Asparagus, Eggplant, Artichoke, Pineapples, and similarly titled Cauliflower are high yield, high-cost crops designed for what Young calls “power users."
“We’re going to be rolling out new content on a fairly regular cadence over the course of the game’s life and we have enhancements lined up for many, many months to come," Young wrote.
“We’ll be introducing new businesses, buildings, harvestable decorations and upgrades for your kingdom as well as new features. We’re committed to keeping your experience fresh and are excited to share our upcoming content with you."
Some of that content is for the over level 25 crowd who have, more than likely, built everything that can be built in the game. In the “coming weeks," Young promised that a push update would dish out more decorations and buildings in addition to a much-needed land space upgrade.
Of course the manic servers have burned many users in the last few weeks. Young sympathized with the lost crops and troubles people have been experiencing as a result of the servers — a problem Young attributed to the game being overloaded with people.
“I want to assure you that we want you to be able to play the game whenever and wherever you want without interruption, without loss of connection and without concern that your crops or jobs may spoil because there are more people trying to connect than the infrastructure can handle."
“To address these issues we’re working around the clock to scale our physical infrastructure and we’re also in the process of finishing a new round of changes to both the We Rule and Plus+ servers, as well as an update to the We Rule App to help address any continuing connection issues."
