Have you ever been very addicted to Farmville?

I have many friends who went pretty crazy about this game in Facebook. They were really paying so much attention about the planting and harvesting, etc. I played it for a while but didn't get really drawn to it. And now, I totally blocked the application cause I keep on getting hundreds of new gifts and neighbor requests each day.

I never got the 'farmville' bug. I didn't like it's interface. My brother and sisters were addicted though. It's 2D graphics really didn't attract me. I mean, I like anime, but I really didn't find farmville cool. To each his own guys. Don't flame me for this.

It's alright, I fairly understand you. It didn't attract me at first as well. Actually, it didn't attract me at all. I just gotten bored one day that I decided to play it. And I only play it whenever I really have nothing else to do. And just want to relax my mind a little bit

Haha. I liked the part when you said that you only started to play it because you were bored.

I've never been drawn completely into a facebook application like that. However, I know that there are a lot of people that are completely addicted to it. I know of one person that was a designer in the digital scrapbooking arena that gave up her career because she wasn't able to pull herself away from Farmville long enough to get her work done. Then a couple weeks ago I was listening to a radio show that had an entire hour dedicated to people that are addicted to Farmville. Would you believe that they had an over the road truck driver call in and say that he harvested his crops while he was driving?

Oh my WORD! Can't say anything against them. But seriously, we should never let this games over rule us. It's just not right.

I am not very active on facebook. I am quite busy with work and barely have time to go online. Obviou8sly, I am not into farmville. But I do have a lot of friends who are into farmville. They say that its very enjoyable and interesting. This must be the reason why, a lot of people are into such.

Yeah. I can't believe it was even featured on a news that it's one of the worst inventions ever made. That may explain why people have gone crazy about it. I know others who even pay just to get more offers unlike those who are using them for free.

I always laugh at my friends who kept on talking about Farmville. Seriously, it has gotten to be the topic of the year for them! Our conversations are not complete without Farmville being mentioned. Crazy!

I used to play Farmville and Farmtown all the time. I was so addicted to them and loved getting the gifts from neighbors. Hoewever I was spending so much time on these games and eventually stopped playing them.
The only game I play now is Yoville, probably because I like to decorate.

I know some friends of mine who stopped playing the game as well. One of my friends is a mother and had to closed her account to prevent herself from playing because she was getting so addicted that it causes her to play than do the things she has to do at her home.

I like Farmville, but I'm not really addicted to it, I just go on it a little every day, but there's no way I would pay money to get more farm cash or coins. I don't get how people can spend hours and hours on it.

Yeah... I had a friend who do that. But she has some reasons that I perfectly understand. She's old and lives on her own. And Farmville is her only way of getting the time pass by when she's not walking outside, going to her grandchildren and such.

I know a friend who did the same. She was very addicted to this application that she's losing her focus on doing other important things. But I believe you can always play as long as you know how to manage your time well.
