TNT and snow-covered mountains? That doesn't sound like a very safe combination, but apparently we'll need to live dangerously in FrontierVille's upcoming Pioneer Trail expansion. Via a new fan page post, Zynga has revealed that while in Avalanche Pass, we'll need to use a "big blast of TNT" to make our way through the mountain. We'll likely either have to ask friends for the explosives, or perhaps craft them along the way; that particular detail wasn't revealed. Here's the full blurb:
When you hit the Pioneer Trail in the next few weeks, you're sure to have a blast on the Avalanche Pass! In fact, a big blast of TNT may be the only way through the mountain! So keep yer friends close and yer stash of explosives even closer!
This would apparently explain the need for shovels that we were warned about in a previous sneak peek. Could it be that we'll become buried under an avalanche caused by our TNT blast? Will we have to ask our friends to frantically dig us out before it's too late? Or, could this all be much more casual, asking us to simply dig our way closer to the rock before setting off the blast? Either way, the plot continues to thicken here in the world of Pioneer Trail speculation (including that mention of "in the next few weeks"), but we'll make sure to clear everything up for you (including whether or not the Pioneer Trail is an entirely new app) just as soon as we know more.
What do you make of this latest sneak peek? Do you think the dynamite blast will deal more with asking friends for items or crafting them yourself?

Pioneer Trail Sneak Peek: Bank building (finally) coming soon
Way back in April of this year, Zynga released a user survey for FrontierVille players (that is, back when the game was still called FrontierVille, and not the Pioneer Trail), asking us what we'd think of a new Bank feature. Of course, that led us to believe that a Bank was to be released sooner, rather than later. But here we are, just now hearing official confirmation that yes, a Bank is coming to the game--and soon.
We'd guess that if anything, the Bank will launch in the game as early as tomorrow, as Tuesdays tend to be very active in the world of Pioneer Trail. However, what the Bank will do exactly still remains to be seen. Via Zynga's teaser, we've been told that "A Bank will give you a nice little nest egg and lots more!" If we head back to the survey released earlier this year, the Bank idea was touted alongside a Stock Market, loans, interest rates and even Bank Robberies.
While I can see the idea of Bank Robberies actually being turned into a feature (perhaps we need to ask friends to help us catch the robbers), the idea of us receiving Loans on coins from the Bank is also an interesting one. Do you need to plant a large number of crops for a goal, but don't have the money to do so? Just take out a Loan from the Bank and pay back the coins, perhaps plus a little interest, once those crops have been harvested. Or, perhaps the Bank could be as simple a feature as giving us a place to store our coins, where we might earn interest the longer we've stored them.
Of course, the above is purely speculation, but it does leave us with plenty to think about until the Bank officially makes its presence known in the game. We'll make sure to let you know exactly what the Bank entails as soon as it launches, so keep checking back.
What do you think of the idea of a Bank on your Homestead? Would you ever take out a loan to complete a goal or task more quickly than if you had to earn the coins the hard way?
