Facebook’s Farmville, What’s So Special About It?

So I caved and finally created myself a Farmville account on the social networking site Facebook. At first glance, the game doesn’t look so dynamic or exciting, but maybe after having my account for a while, I’ll have access to currently locked/unexposed parts of the game.

Before delving any deeper into the contents of the game though, here’s a brief introduction to the Farmville browser-based game developed by Zynga. Essentially, players in the game manage their own virtual farm, complete with crops, trees, and livestock. Categorized as a real-time farm simulation game, Farmville first launched in June 2009. Since then, it’s become the most popular Facebook game application, boasting 73,015,559 users to date. Wow, that’s insane. That’s nearly 1/3 of the population of the United States!

If you’re interested in reading a bit more about my adventures in Farmville thus far, check out my review.
