I know this is a lot of text on the sidebar. Please bear with me, as it'll answer a lot of the questions you might have about me or this tumblr.
I know that you play farmville on FB I was wondering if there were any other FB games you played?
Yes! :D I’m most active in Castleville right now, because it’s shiny and new, but also because, holy shit, it loads like a dream. I do feel a little overwhelmed by how difficult it is to finish some of the quests, how difficult it is to get or craft the pieces I need, but it’s fairly low pressure, so I like it.
I occasionally play Sims Social (I’m getting more active again now that they’ve upped the level cap and I can go beyond level 50 again), but I’m sort of frustrated with that game because it’s such a memory hog and I can’t quite get my house to look as nice as I want it. Mostly, it’s a memory hog. (But I’ll keep going back because I love the look of it and I just want a house to decorate!!)
I’ve played a bit of Hidden Chronicles, but I don’t think I’ll be sticking with it. I used to play Cityville, but that game was such a pain in the ass to load that I finally said NOPE FUCK THIS NOISE I’M OUT OF HERE and just quit playing. When even the rewards pages (the ones you pick up off your newsfeed, that is) ten ten times as long to load as a Farmville one does? NOPE, I’M OUT.
I’ve played Treasure Isle and Petville in the past, but they’ve kind of faded out since Sims Social came along. Petville was only fun because it was a house to decorate!!! and that’s what I wanted, but now SS gives me instead. Treasure Isle is fun, but a total memory hog, too, and I don’t have time for that. :|X
Occasionally, I also play a bit of Bejeweled Blitz, but not terribly seriously. Oh and! I FUCKING LOVE Fantasy Kingdoms, but I never play it because, christ almighty, between Farmville and tumblr, I already spend enough time on the computer. XD
How about you? I’m always curious what games others play, too!
CRYING ABOUT ALL OF THESE FEELINGS I HAVE THEM ALL. At least CastleVille and sims social, but the way you’re describing farmville makes me want to go look at it BUT I HAVE TO RESIST I CAN’T HANDLE ALL THESE GAMES and ravensky city. BRB time for games
Farmville is… I mean… FV is definitely my default game, it’s the one I put the most effort into and my entire account is geared towards it, while the others are incidental (but fun!) so it’s… I mean, obviously I recommend it, you know? But it’s also a game that will suck up A LOT of your time, especially if you’re just starting out, it will takes AGES to collect everything you need. (Which is why you pretty much need an account dedicated solely just for playing it and getting neighbors who are only there for playing it, too.) If you don’t have the time, it’s probably best not to start it.
But once you’re established in the game, OH, IT IS SURPRISINGLY SATISFYING, especially if you like breeding animals into specific color patterns (my collection of Halloween-themed sheep was pretty awesome, I can’t lie) or getting the latest tree (SO SATISFYING TO FINALLY GET IT, but so frustrating when you grow over 100 trees and don’t get it and so frustrating trying to keep track of everything) or the excitement of combing over farmvillefreak.com and seeing what’s coming to the market soon. (And, you know, if you need a neighbor to shove patterned sheep or pigs at you, I’m always happy to help if I can. :D)
And I enjoy that there are enough ways to get the FarmCash that I’ve never had to spend money on the game, yet I don’t feel deprived of the things I really super want. They give quizzes out occasionally that earn you FC and they’re giving us a FOURTH FARM to play on (WINTER THEMED!!!) and I’m just. For all the things I grump about with them, I’m excited about playing again these days.
Also, you play Sims Social?? AHHHH, I LOVE THE GAME, A CHANCE TO DECORATE MY HOUSE YES JUST WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED. I mean, Petville was cute, but it felt really limited and I was just there to decorate a house anyway. Sims Social is much more of what I was looking for PLUS CUTE OUTFITS AHHH THE JAPANESE SCHOOLGIRL OUTFIT IS AWESOME.
I admit that I am also a Farmville-addict lol.
It makes me very happy to know I’m not alone in this. :D I used to be so derisive of games like this, they’re not real games, pft. Then I got an iPad and started playing We Rule/We Farm and Farm Story (oh, jesus, have I never been so happy to leave a company behind as TeamLava, because their games ARE THE WORST. THE WORST. They promise weekly updates but those are liesssssss.) and GodFinger and after that it was only a matter of time. Now I love them so much and they’re surprisingly complicated and satisfying when AHAHAHAHA YES THE LATEST TREE IS MIIIIIIINE. :D
Gonna get this out of my system.
You guys are really lucky that I don’t talk about Facebook games here. Because, holy shit, I have THOUGHTS. About FARMVILLE. THOUGHTS ABOUT FARMVILLE. It’s a level of nerdery I never thought I would achieve, but here I am! And Sims Social and Castleville now, which I mostly play because HOLY SHIT CASTLE CUTENESS GIVE IT TO MEEE and also the loading times are seriously easy, I can visit, like, 30 neighbors in a row and my computer is like, pft, whatever, I can do that in my sleep. But fucking Sims Social. I mean, okay, to be fair, my house is really a mess and it’s at 450k or so because, hoshit, I went nuts with the Japan theme (and now the Christmas stuff because wood-themed bathroom that I don’t need simcash to purchase? ALL THE THINGS WILL BE MIIIIIIINE.) and so it’s really hard to load, but jesus fuck, visiting neighbors is hard.
Farmville, on the other hand, I just. Ugh. I don’t even know where to start. My Lighthouse Cove is doing somewhat okay, though, it really needs some organization to make it look good. And my home farm is just a complete disaster, I don’t even want to show it to people it’s such a mess. I actually hit the halfway point of items you can have out on your farm and Zynga was like HOLY SHIT YOU ARE HALFWAY TO FULL UP STOP ITTTTT and my storage is just about completely full (I seriously fucking object to the way you can only buy fences for a limited amount of time and you need about 50 of them if you want to actually decorate with them and THAT IS A LOT OF STORAGE) and, jesus, what’s with all the new sheep and pig patterns lately? STOP TEMPTING ME. On the bright side, Sherry got me a dragonfly and butterfly patterned sheep (and I got her the snowflake boar in return, which THANK FUCK a neighbor of mine managed to get with the mystery prize and I got the winter snowflake patterned horse and the tinsel pony but I am SO MAD because I don’t have the winged pegasus in blue and I REALLY WANTED IT and I can’t just get a foal and grow it up because it was a Mystery Game foal and they won’t let you grow those up, UGH) so I managed to breed those sheep into black ones with flashing neon patterns and they look AWESOME.
However, fvnation.com said we were getting the winter farm on the 5th AND TODAY IS THE FIFTH BUT I STILL DO NOT SEE IT and my giftbox is seriously stuffed so fucking full because I didn’t put out the Santa Sleigh because a winter themed Santa Sleigh DOES NOT GO WITH A FALL-THEMED FARM, also I am impatient to do more trees, but I’m not doing any more until I get the winter farm because the newer farms don’t seem to have connected storage, so anything I put out to grow up, I wouldn’t be able to transfer over there and I am really frustrated by this.
ALSO, I finished the winter holiday quest on Sims Social, but I’m SO MAD AT MYSELF for not doing the little birdcage quest because AHHHH IT LOOKED SO CUTE, but I am pleased with the game because, if you play five days in a row now, you’ll get a chance at simcash, YES, THANK YOU. I used to object to not getting a sim cash for every level you went up, but I can deal with this new method, I think.
Castleville is pretty solid, but I am getting seriously irked at my fucking peacocks. I need to make a Tailor building. To do that, I need to make a Dye Kit. Okay, I have the Studio that makes them, but to make the Dye Kit, I need a Blue Feather. Okay, to get a Blue Feather, I need to harvest an Adult Peacock. Okay, so, I buy some baby peacocks and I have been feeding them like clockwork FOR A WEEK NOW and they are still only Youths and I AM READY TO SCREAM A LITTLE. At least they’re feedable every 2 hours now, instead of the 6 they started out at, but AUGH, I JUST WANT THEM TO BE ADULTS ALREADY.
But, also, I have now bought three Amethyst Ponies with Reputation because YAAAY FAIRY THEMED PONIES MY WEAKNESS. :D
So, yeah.
You followers are so lucky I don’t talk about Facebook games. Because I also have screencaps.
