The Short Story of Zynga’s Farmville.com.com

January 25th, 2010 by Aimee Jones

If you happen to have an account with Facebook or MySpace, surely you would understand what I would be talking about for this whole article. And surely you have been a farmer, a mob, a fashionista or have already built your own carnival by just logging in to these social networking sites.

Well I would be surprised if you are to tell me you are not familiar with what I’m talking about, Facebook has been ranked 4th by Quancast and 2nd by Compete.com in terms of traffic in the US. So obviously a lot of people have tried playing these games made by Zynga which are YoVille, Mafia Wars, Roller Coaster Kingdom, Fashion Wars and their latest addition, FarmVille.

Zynga is a video game developer located in San Francisco, California, United States. They develop browser-based casual video games which work in conjunction with social networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace.

Zynga was founded in June 2007 by Mark Pincus, Michael Luxton, Eric Schiermeyer, Justin Waldron, Andrew Trader, and Steve Schoettler. They secured USD $29 million from several venture capitalist firms in July 2008 along with bringing ex Electronic Arts Chief Creative Officer Bing Gordon on to the board. At that time, they also acquired YoVille, a large virtual world social network game. According to their own website, as of November 2009, they had 50 million daily active users.

As much as I enjoy decorating my houses at YoVille, I must admit that it’s been a while since I last bought my new wall papers. I also try to be updated with the latest clothing line at YoVille but lately, I found out that jumpers are more comfortable whenever I plow and plant seeds on my farm, so yeah, I became a FarmVille fan.

FarmVille is a real-time farm simulation game developed by Zynga, available as an application on the social networking website Facebook. The game allows members of Facebook to manage a virtual farm by planting, growing and harvesting virtual crops, trees, and livestock. Since its launch in June 2009, FarmVille has become the most popular game application on Facebook with 63.7 million active users on November 9th, 2009.

FarmVille is based around the market; there are items that you can purchase in order to build your farm such as trees, animals, buildings, decorations, vehicles, you could also get more land by using your coins, which is like money on FarmVille. You can earn these coins by selling crops. All you have to do is to Plant seeds, which grow into crops, which can be harvested to earn coins.

Plowing and planting is not the only thing that you could do to earn those coins and points. Animals and trees can also be purchased and can also be harvested for experience and profits. Players would earn experience points or XPs whenever they purchase items and while doing their regular tasks such as plowing, planting and harvesting. And remember, earning XP increases the player’s level which would unlock more items, so there is always something new to plant.
