I know I’ve been writing a lot about FarmVille lately, and that’s not the only awesome game that we make here at Zynga, but right now, they deserve some love. Just last night, FarmVille hit new record highs for not only the social game industry, but online gaming as a whole. FarmVille surpassed 11 million daily active users (30 million monthly actives) making it the biggest online game in North American and quickly poising it to be the largest online game in the world.
I have to say, that I’m personally addicted to the game. I love tending to my crops, discovering new fruits and veggies to plant everyday, and making sure I’m getting back to the farm in time before they wither. Yes, I do set my timer. And were any of you fortunate enough to catch those awesome super berries over the weekend? They were only available in the market for a limited time and it was a beautiful thing.
Anyway, congrats to the FarmVille team. Keep up the great work fellas!
And here’s a fun little snippet I came across today. It’s from the “Mom is a Verb” blog, posted by Joyce:

Farming
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.
“Whatcha doing?”
“Planting bell peppers.”
“Ah”
“I am trying to earn a tractor so I don’t have to click so much.”
Farmville has captured my husband. Farmville game on facebook.
He is even too distracted to play Scrabble. Call the doctor.
