The Old FarmVilleians

The Old FarmVilleians

The thing about FarmVille is that it offers a social aspect that other games don’t.  You meet people from all over the world and interact with them in a nonthreating way. We sometimes joke and we sometimes argue but at the end of the day we are still friends.
We are creative and each of our three farms is different.  I have yet to see two farms that are the same. We take the same elements and use them in different ways. For instance I used the modern table in my abandon graveyard as a tomb.  I use the animal statues as grave markers.  We have different tastes when it comes to decorating, I don’t like the hay bale art but others do.
Other farmers just want to master crops, collect gnomes, master animals, breed horses and cows, etc.  Some are hoarders that fill up their farms and storage. But that is how they choose to play the game.
We have different goals and ways of achieving them. I don’t ask people to play the game the way I do and they don’t asked me to play like they do. We are sharers and takers but we don’t point fingers. We whine and groan about the way Zynga treats us but we are also the first ones to praise them.
We are quick to help noobies and are ready to show them the error of their ways. We create Facebook groups to share items, recipes, and FarmVille war stories. We are social gamers extraordinaries and no one can tell us any different
