Reasons I play YoVille but not FarmVille, FishVille, Café World, Roller Coaster Kingdom or Mafia Wars

I have to say, I never did like the game YoVille, FarmVille, FishVille, Café World, Roller Coaster Kingdom or Mafia Wars. I’m a hard core video game player myself ever since I’m a little kid. I still remember that I’ll do anything just to play the famous Mario Brothers on the Nintendo game console. I bought my first generation Playstation during my university study and even modified the game console just to play the famous Final Fantasy 7. After graduated I got myself Playstation 2 and that was the time for Final Fantasy 10 and Metal Gear Solid. Throughout those years I try out almost thousand of games and spend most of my time pressing those buttons.

Let’s go back to the reasons I play YoVille but not FarmVille, FishVille, Café World, Roller Coaster Kingdom or Mafia Wars. Initially I never intended on trying out any of the games above. I saw some of my friends playing it but it just doesn’t bring out my interest to try it out. YoVille, FarmVille, FishVille, Café World, Roller Coaster Kingdom or Mafia Wars can be considered as MMORPG – Massively multiplayer online role playing game. One of the attractions is that players are able to interact with each other. The second attraction is the leveling system that players are able to customize and raise a character. The combination of these 2 attractions can create a very addictive game. Those of you that have been or are still playing Word of Warcraft Online surely will understand. YoVille, FarmVille, FishVille, Café World, Roller Coaster Kingdom or Mafia Wars are nothing compare to Word of Warcraft Online.

Since YoVille, FarmVille, FishVille, Café World, Roller Coaster Kingdom or Mafia Wars has nothing interest me, why do I choose to play YoVille only? The first reason is that it’s on facebook. As you know many people around the world sign up with facebook. It’s a social community site with lots of members. I want to experiment if I’m able to promote my blog through YoVille. My homework at YoVille is to make as many buddies as I can. Let’s just see if having a lot of buddies at YoVille can bring traffic to this blog.

My second reason, perhaps most of you has this same reason is to built or decorate a house at YoVille that might just be our future real house. In other words is to use YoVille as a tool to simulate our future real house. It’s not easy when it comes to decorate our own house. We might take a lot time to try out which decoration really suits us. YoVille gives us the chance to practice and simulate our own house before we actually do it on a real house. We are able to change the decoration easily until we feel satisfied with it. After that we can implement the same decoration to the place that we plan to stay and live in. That will save us a lot of time, energy and money.

That ‘s my reason for choosing YoVille but not FarmVille, FishVille, Café World, Roller Coaster Kingdom or Mafia Wars. What game do you play and why? Care to share?

The rise of FarmVille creates Cyber farmers in Office

If you have a Facebook account, I’m sure you know FarmVille. Yes, that’s right. It’s a popular game that let you experience the joy of being a farmer. You get to customize your character and farm any way you like. The goal of this game is to grow your farm and earn money. In the beginning of the game you need to plow fields, plant crops, harvest crops and work the livestock. Once you earned some money and experience, you get to level up and purchase more seeds, equipments, land, buildings and other stuff to expand your farm. You can even invite your friends or so call “Neighbors” to join the game. You may help each other in farming and send gifts to increase your experience to level.

That’s basically how the popular FarmVille is all about. Perhaps you might want to try it out to experience how attractive the game really is. I’m not sure in other countries but FarmVille seems to be very popular in Taiwan. FarmVille even hits the daily news on TV in Taiwan because many people are playing it. Whenever there is free time and a PC that can online, the first site to check out will definitely be FarmVille. Some people even farm during working hours when they are free. It might be a good way to release work stress but it is just not appropriate from the company point of view.

So just how crazy are you with FarmVille? Let’s see now. Will you login to FarmVille every day? Do you check your farm first thing in the morning after getting out of bed? Will you catch some bugs in your farm when you’re taking a break in the middle of working hour? Do you start working on your field right after you get off your work? Will you prepare your farm nicely right before going to bed? If most of your answers are yes, perhaps you might want to slow down a bit.

A game is still a game if your interest is just to have fun with it. Don’t you wish that the coins that you earn in FarmVille can be converted into real money? That will be really nice. If that can be done I think most of us will quit our jobs and farm at home. That is just my little silly dream. In fact some people manage to turn this game playing experience into a gold mine. How do they do it? Just check out the link below.
