The other day I was very stop seeing a newspaper article about the game "Cityville . It's a game, but I do not expect anything of what I read. Yes, when you most want more and more and want more but ...
The article said:
"Cityville" new king of the game
Susana, 26, takes a month hooked to "Cityville." Two, three hours a day. In four weeks it has reached the level 48 of the game, which, now has a maximum of 60 steps. He says he has already lifted off the throttle, and only engaged in this mixture of "Farmville" and "Sim City" half hour a day, "especially because my boyfriend was very angry with me." Susana spent months in "the farm" ("Farmville"), including social play in the world of Facebook, until it disappeared addiction. "I put it aside. At the end bored to plant and harvest. But one day a month ago I saw a new game, "Cityville" I came in, and here I am. "
"Cityville" sum and a hundred million users, and nearly twice as "Farmville", considered at the time a unique phenomenon. If you have a Facebook account, you'll know what we mean: arriving every day dozens of invitations to join in the farm, the same as a day like today we find to point to the cause of this town of pixels, which raise rents instead of harvesting and planting. Susan says she has no fewer than 50 residents, many of whom come from the old plantation.
This is, of course, play with more users on Facebook, a mass phenomenon hated by many, but so often that leads to the best interest of investors. Of the ten most successful applications on Facebook, six are by Zynga, a company in San Francisco to which we are seeing more in the business pages of newspapers. In recent months he has bought a dozen companies to expand, including the Flock browser. Is the large multinational Zynga games?
The social factor
Bethlehem, 33, has not fallen into temptation. Although almost. "I started it, but I was sorry not to get hooked." She continues her farm. Like Miguel, 46, delighted with Atlético de Madrid that has been built virtual grooves interlaced "Farmville." In any case, the relationship with the 'neighbors' (the social factor) is part of your day to day. Therein lies much of the success of the application: to grow you must win friends there to get involved, visit them, help them.
Of course, some "Cityville" have grown thousands of additional pages: tricks to move faster, types of buildings to buy. The slang may seem surreal for the uninitiated, but a hundred million users in a few weeks of life is not trivial matter. In Silicon Valley and Wall Street know it well. Zynga Will he went public? For now, experts estimate that annual revenues are around 600/700 billion.
I hope that I do not spend anything like that, I play "FarmVille " and when I saw it announced a new game I wanted to try and ... I'm there:). I like going shopping area (although hard to get, not as much as "FarmVille ") and to build buildings and roads and so grow your city. Not likely, but it is addictive, when you most want more, and now I have to make money and now the harvest ...
I was never had liked computer games or anything like that. But since I tried Facebook games and pass the moments:).
