Earlier everyone used to ask me, "Are you on Facebook?"Then after I hopped onto FB, everyone's asking me, "Are you on Farmville?" I'm both tired and amused of people trying to keep up with the latest "in" things - they always try to be part of the hip crowd, and in the process they hardly enjoy doing things at all. So anyway most of my friends came to know that farmville has over 70 million players on FB, so they wanted to be a part of it too and soon I too started receiving nagging requests from my friends asking me to come and play the game. And since one or two of those friends were serious FB addicts and would take any turned down request seriously, I decided to give the game a try.

After playing for two days, I began to see why it had become a success - it encourages you to get together with friends and help each other in advancing in the game. Other than that it's just another simulation game, which is sometimes a little boring as well. Anyway thanks to this game I was able to get on well with some friends who were busy to stay in touch. Now we help fertilise each other's farms So are you part of this crazy bandwagon? If so can you share a few tips n' tricks for the rest of us?

well, the truth is i quit this game because it bored me to hell 0_0a
kind of funny though, seeing my family encouraging each others at home (on the house, calling for help / gifts)
there's not much trick there, is there? only the farmer-block trick one... oh, and if you want, you can try to use that GhostMouse to do the farming

I was on farmville and played it religiously, but now day I don't play any facebook games, I use facebook as facebook to connect with friends, I admit some people do spend there lives on the various facebook games, my aunt in particular plays: Country Life, Farmville, Petville, and countless others everyday. It's kinda sad in a way but hey. Whatever boats your float.

Well, farmville is not a time consuming game, ya know? You just plant some stuff and leave. At least I play it like that, you don't have to stand there waiting for the crops to grow? It's the only game I play tho.

Knew they were going to go down this road as well. You know what I do instead of Facebook. Go over friends houses. I never understood why people liked the social networking sites so much. I guess I need to stay home more often.

I've never played this game, nor will I ever. It is just a fad, like most things. It will eventually be "out of style" to these kids. It is a lame game anyways.

Farmville is just a timepass-sort of game and can be bearable when you get too bored. And it's a great way of catching up with long lost friends who simply have no time to write a message but have lot of time to play the game I keep in touch with some friends through farmville only. They are never tired to play the game even if they dont have time for socializing, so just knowing that you are in contact with them is a good feeling.

It's kind of funny - at first friends had no time to meet each other in real life but they had time to meet on Facebook and similar sites. But now they have evolved and don't have time on facebook also. They just stay in touch through media like farmville. Hmm wonder what they'll do next

Sadly me and misses are into games, we cry ourselves to sleep, but at least we are smart enough to know when to put it away and not be stupid enough to drop thousands of dollars into a virtual farm. What is really sad about this is when you show up on Dr. Phil and him telling you that you have a Farmville addiction...oh wait that did happen to some woman LOL. We play because its fun and its something to do while we chit chat about this and that.

Of course, it started expanding to other games like Cafe World, Fishville, Country Life, Farkle, Farkle 2, but that is all and we are smart enough to plan ahead and not stare at the screen 24 hours a day. Other then that I am not addicted to these stupid Facebook games

I tried FarmVille. I played it for a few days and then realized that there was no point in this. I quit and never really touched another Facebook Gaming-type app again. Most of the little games on Facebook such as CafeWorld, FishVille, etc. are games where you do stuff, wait, sell, and repeat. I really don't see any gain from this.

Seems really stupid to me...plus there are those actually donating to the game...perhaps we all should create assinine games like Farmville, and join the bandwagon of making cash!
