On Facebook, FarmVille is the top game this year with over 26 Million active users, 3 times biggest than the second most active, Cafe World.
Last December, I asked readers how long they’d think Facebook becomes old, and a lot of the responses points to the games as a major attracting feature. No wonder Zynga keeps on buying Facebook App Development companies out there.
Since FarmVille is the largest random sampling for Facebook activity, we can somewhat use it as a yardstick to monitor the trend of usage on the social networking site.
If that 26 Million daily active users keep on growing or if a new game emerges and surpasses that number, then the growth is still moving up. With over 8 million Facebook users accounts from the Philippines, we could be seeing a plateau really soon (this was in the vicinity of the number of Friendster users when it also plateaued). Nevertheless, telcos will continue to feel the pain of losing millions of pesos due to shifting communication channels (FB messages over SMS).
So, going back to the question — Are you still addicted to FarmVille? I stopped tending to my farm like months ago.

i also got hook with this game just because all my friends are into it.
They say it was that addictive. If only my phone browser has built in flash player then i would know. Pero mas adik ako sa mafia wars.
happy island na nilalaro ko. 2 minutes lang nacollect na lahat. pero meron pa naman akong farm sa farmville
happy island na nilalaro namin ng mga ka-fb ko. 3 mins lang nacollect na lahat ng dapat ma-collect. pero meron pa naman akong farm sa farmville
nagmove on na ko sa happy island. mas madaling i-maintain

Sir Yuga, parehas lang tayo and just this month, I stopped playing all of the games I had there. Now, Facebook for me is just for checking statuses, links, photos, videos, and chat – the best
Tried playing it once and knew instinctively it would be addicted. So abandoned it. If you want to be productive, better stay away from games like these.

Lucky for some(adults) that they have a lot of time to spare with this kids’ stuff.
never played farmville. im a farmtown guy. cafe word? yes!
played it for few months and then i stopped.
here in our province… there is one polititian that uses the farmville background music while roving around farms! it really catches attention specially for those who knows farmville
i think techie guys and blog readers didn’t like to play that kind of games… Some of them will try but will not be addicted to it… Most of farmville players are girls and even government employees,,,LOL… Who didn’t know how to play DOTA or Playstation games… LOL..
Its a waste of time for the Tech Guys…
there’s so many incredible things to do in the net rather than to waste time planting and harvesting crops or building a mansion at the center of a virtual farm…

Yes, Both me and my wife love to play FV and Cafe World. Very addictive indeed!
I never played Farmville.. Before, I played lots of Farmtown, Mafia wars, and Restaurant City.. Now I play Country Story (like Farmville), Tycoons, Cafe world, Ponzi, and Bejeweled Blitz. Pero kahit na naglalaro ako, madalang na madalang na.. nag-spoil nga madalas mga foods ko sa Cafe World eh…
At naku! pag nagkaroon ng Plants vs Zombies sa Facebook maglalaro ulit ako!! Heheheh!

I no longer play Farmville but I play other games on Facebook like Mafia Wars, Ponzi, Tycoons which are a lot more easier to play than FV.
Played for a month, then shifted to Mafia Wars, now MW is getting old for me. Good. I’ll never play another FB game again once I totally get over MW.
Farmtown ako dati. Airline Manager na ngayon.
I stopped tending too my farmville but my bot didn’t stopped… It’s amazing you can have bots to plow and harvest everything.
But for your question. I think I’m not addicted to farmville anymore my wife does. tsk .tsk tsk…..
