Due to its popularity, FarmVille now has over 65 million gamers who are all logged in to Facebook before they can actually plant their crops. FarmVille was released in Facebook and because of this; some people who doesn’t have accounts on Facebook are forced to do one just to be able to play the game.
I know how fun it is playing FarmVille with your Facebook account but believe me, some people doesn’t want to have their own accounts. So they try looking for alternative ways to play the game and not having a Facebook account, unfortunately there’s none. You could even try the FarmVille site itself but it will still ask you to log on to your Facebook account to be able to play.
I also tried visiting the Zynga site itself. There you would find all of their games that are available for different networks; and sad to say that FarmVille really is exclusively available only at Facebook.
If you have an account with Facebook then this wont be a problem, only to those who doesn’t. some players actually has dummy accounts just to be able to play FarmVille and while not exposing anything about themselves, and since there are so many people wishing to be part of your neighborhood as well, they wouldn’t even care if they do not know you at all.
But there’s always something to look forward to. I heard that the creator of FarmVille, Zynga, is actually planning to make it a full version game, and this means to need to log on to your Facebook account. I’m not sure how are they going to work on the neighbor stuff but I hope its something that I download on my pc.
Zynga, the makers of FarmVille, is ready to break the 65 million plus player game out of the confines of Facebook by making a full version of the game available on FarmVille.com. First word of Zynga’s intent to build the site broke on TechCrunch. The game will still use Facebook Connect as a way to log into the game (which means that your farm will be saved) but by breaking outside of the social networking site’s confines, Zynga may allow other logins as well.
Given Facebook’s recent rules around viral marketing that many on the services consider spam, Zynga may have decided to go it alone due to some of those restrictions. But with the company’s admission that it has had deals to offer “scammy ads” to players, early comments about the move were mixed.
So this is something really great to look forward to, I just hope they would release it soon, not by the time that people are to lazy to harvest their crops already. So for now, it’s only through Facebook that we can peek on our farm.
