Farmville to be shut down

FarmVille (social farming simulator) was launched on Facebook back in 2009 and it was a way for everyone to share flowers and crops and for many years it was Facebook's most-played game. Facebook itself was just starting to grow at that time. Along with Facebook, this game also kept growing and gave rise to the MMORPG category with many other games. 

Other Zynga games along with FarmVille were also becoming popular all due to the new sort of gameplay it offered. Many of the game mechanics and elements were designed to work in the favor of the player when playing with friends. It was easier to level up faster in this game if you had more friends to play with. Due to this, gaming and social networking kept becoming more famous and many of the users were making multiple accounts just to level up faster.
