farmville stressful or stress free hobby?

Farmville is an application on Facebook that I personally have never used, but I have used similar - like Petville and Pet Society. The problem I think with all these applications is that they get so addictive and you really do become obsessed with them. The makers of these games are also very clever in starting to add items that you have to physically buy, very naughty IMO!! My son in law was addicted to Farmville for a while I remember. I have now deleted all these applications off my facebook account because of the way they were taking over my life!!

I have to admit that I have never played it. I have enough to do online without getting addicted to yet another game. I am always getting strange requests related to Farmville but I have not yet given in to the temptation of joining in with it.

I played it once upon a time, when I was still new in facebook. In the beginning I liked it because I like the idea of running my own farm and choosing what crops to plant and what animals to raise. But the game is just routinary. I realized later that it is eating up my time. Instead of me doing my online work, all I was able to do is playing. So I stopped it already.

I love Farmville its totally addictive though and stops me from getting on with things am supposed to be doing
