FarmVille Fun Facts

If you’re a FarmVille addict, you’ll be interested in learning some fun facts about the game. It is a highly addictive game for people of all ages. It has quickly become the most popular game on Facebook; no other game in the history of the social networking site comes close.

There are at least 82 million people playing FarmVille around the world. This is more than the number of people who use Twitter.

FarmVille creator Mark Skaggs discovered a really fun fact. He says that if he lined up all the users of the game shoulder to shoulder, they would get from San Francisco to New York City 3 1/2 times.

FarmVille was created in five weeks. FarmVille players far outnumber real life farmers. The ratio is 60:1, many of the real-life farmers are also FarmVille farmers, according to the New York Times.

There is a Facebook group that has established itself as FarmVille haters. I know it doesn’t seem possible, but they have 17,000 members. There are two real towns with the same name as the virtual one. There’s FarmVille, Virginia and FarmVille, North Carolina.

Believe it or not, games like FarmVille are quite profitable. This year almost a billion dollars will be spent on things like seeds or fuel. People buy around 5000 tractors every day in the game. The number one tractor manufacturer in the US, John Deere, only sells about 5,000 a year.

You can arrange your crops into a work of art. There is a website dedicated to FarmVille art. Features an entire Simpsons family, a Mona Lisa, and more.

Lots of people buy seeds and fuel. During September 2009, the sale of sweet potato seeds brought in $150,000 per week for the Haiti relief fund. Sales only brought half to the charity, showing how many people bought seeds in support of Haiti.
