Farmville was at 83,755,953 monthly players all-time high, according to Inside Social Games (May 2010). Now the average monthly players are at 47,364,589 MAU (Monthly Average Users), according to App Data, a reliable metric site for Farmville Player Statistics. (Click to enlarge)
I was getting bored and the new English Countryside Farm piqued my interest. But the SHEEP! Oh the sheep, they were the game's saving grace, especially when the ILLEGAL flashers and cammo (Calico on on my Sheep Breeding Guide) were accidentally released.
According to Farmville Freak, Zynga's response is "Certain types of sheep and pig colors/patterns not yet released have been improperly distributed in FarmVille; we are currently going through the process of making sure this practice stops."
Oh so they had these patterns and someone stole them. While I will agree, this is wrong. Zynga is ruining their reputation by their poor public relations stance on this issue. With a whopping loss of over 36 million players worldwide, it would be in Zynga's best interest to do some quick damage control.
A lot of my blogs readers, over 16,000 to date (with 98% occurring in the past month!), have commented to me that they love breeding the new sheep and pigs. It made the loading issues, the lost gifts, the boring/repetitive parts of the game, etc. worthwhile. See proof of my blog's stats below:(Click to enlarge)
I read a lot of the posts on the Farmville Freak link (see link above). The one that really got me was the one from a mother saying how her son would be excited every day after school. He couldn't wait to play Farmville and breed the cool sheep and pigs. She stated that she and her husband spent money buying him Farmville Dollars (not to be confused with coins, which you earn in the game) so he could have the Love Potions and Bottles he needed to breed.
The only way I see that Zynga can save face and prevent losing a ton of more players is to introduce these sheep and pigs NOW or ASAP for FARMVILLE COINS NOT FARMVILLE DOLLARS. Guess I'll be playing Big Fish Games for awhile or try Farm Town again.
WOW!!! That is a loss of 36,391,364 players!!
