Facebook's Farmville - It's So Entertaining!

By Dana Goldberg

It does not matter how many miles separate me from the people I love and care for now. We have all tossed our business clothes and moved to Farmville where overalls are fashionable.

We share a virtual world where we can interact and own neighboring farms. We cultivate the land and grow corn, squash, strawberries and at higher levels we have many beautiful flowers too. Every time the crops mature, we harvest them and earn money at the marketplace by selling them for the bid price.

We can go to the store to purchase seeds. There is a wide choice of crops that increases as you move up through the levels. You can also purchase buildings, decorations, and machinery.

We all have farmer personalities and we get to pick what our online self will look like to others. We can plant one crop or ten separate kinds of seeds. You must pay attention to the length of time until harvest. Forgotten crops will curdle in the fields and you will lose the income.

Neighbors are great at helping with your farm, sending a note if your crops are about to fail, and they can even give you useful items. Instead of buying an animal or tree you can receive one as a gift from your neighbors. Be sure to send gifts every time you visit your farm and you will get many in return.

Save your money for a small house, a log cabin, gazebo, or barn. Collect plenty of animals because they all generate income for the farm. There is profit in the milk from the cow that goes "moo".

Trees are another source of beauty and income. Apple, Pear, Cherry, and even more exotic growth like Palm, Mango, and Date trees are available. You can receive or gift them to your neighbors. You collect cash when you harvest your fruit.

You can sell your crops at the bustling marketplace. Work with your neighbors to increase your points, cash, and move up to a new level. Your visits will help you earn new designations too. All your interactions will help you unlock new crops, machinery, decorations, and buildings. It also grows your friendships.

Relax and enjoy the country life. Experiment by moving buildings, animals, trees, and ponds around. As you move along you will unlock more fun and surprises at each level. I still can't believe my Mom lives next to me. - 30202
