I haven't been on farmville for about a year. I avoided it like the plague. It meant nothing to me. Then I noticed that my gift requests were overflowing so I decided to accept them. Before I knew it, I was back on my virtual farm accepting gifts, picking trees, taking care of the livestock and collecting items.
Is it a sick addiction? Something you need to stay away from unless you want to be pulled back into its grasp? Or maybe I am just too bored/competitive? I don't know.

Yeah, facebook and its many apps can do that. Thank god I didn't get into farmville like all my friends. I don't like farms and I didn't see the point. Mob wars was my farmville and it really took up so much of my time. Then I just stopped. I realized I was just wasting time and I wasn't getting any satisfaction or rewards from it. Yes, it's nice that there's competition and all that... but there's no end to it. It just goes on and on and nothing in my life becomes better. I hope you don't get sucked in again, unless that's what you want.

Hi there vjenkins,
well I don't see anything bad at all with farmville addiction.. Because if there is anything bad about it then many others are also going crazy already about it but I think it's not a sick addiction.. I too, have a farm and I was in your shoe way back months ago.. It's just now that I don't visit my farm because I think I got tired of it..And I am concentrated right now with some other things on the internet..
You don't have to stay away from Farmville because it won't do you any harm at all.. It's more of a fun hobby and that's it I think.
happy mylotting!

I never really got into Farmville. However, I am super addicted to Zombie Farm. It is a similar game, except in addition to growing crops, you also grow zombies! You should check it out when you get a chance. It is fun!
