Frontierville Aims To Mirror Farmville's Success

FarmVille is undoubtedly a certified hit

FarmVille is undoubtedly a certified hit. More than 60 million users are actively playing this online Facebook application. The simple premise of raising plants and animals to gain experience points to buy and trade stuff for your farm to develop it is a sure winner.

People who love to play games don't really like very complicated strategies.

Simpler things are a lot more fun to do.

But Zynga, its developer, noticed a slight decline in its active users. The game developer then added new features, like Crop Mastery, to make the game more exciting to players.

Better yet, it came up with a new game that has the same basic principles loaded with new features: FrontierVille.

Zynga's new game promises a whole new adventure in this new game release. FrontierVille, which is set in the Wild West, will have you developing a wild patch of land so you could take your betrothed home, raise a family, and build a community.

FrontierVille is more interactive socially compared to its predecessor, which is something that may appeal to FarmVille players who are looking for a new fix. Instead of simply planting and harvesting crops and raising animals, players will have more involvement in FrontierVille. The game is more personalized as you will have more interaction with neighbors.

Social networking plays an important role in Zynga's new release, which I think, is far better than just having to sell crops and build properties. Though there are several similarities between the two, FrontierVille relies heavily on establishing relationships with your friends.

Here, you will be able to help out in your neighbors' land. And in return, you get to earn reward points and boost your experience. FrontierVille also allows "hiring" of neighbors. You can hire (or get hired) your neighbors to do work on your land. This will benefit those who can't check in regularly to their accounts.

One of FrontierVille's innovations is the effect of external factors in your land.

Here, the environment is alive. Weeds and tress will grow in your land if you leave it unattended for too long. Animals like bears can drain your energy. If you can't afford to play all the time and don't want to see your land overrun with weeds the next time you open it, you can hire your neighbors to tend it for you.

FrontierVille appears to be more interactive than FarmVille, which is a good thing. It's three-dimensional and will make you feel that you're really a part of building a community.

I feel this is the better game and will be enjoyed by more people. Compared to just planting crops and raising animals, tilling your land so you can slowly develop your frontier and build a community where you can raise a virtual family sounds more enticing. I for one am definitely more active in FrontierVille than its predecessors.
