FarmVille ~ Time for greener pastures

Tim's Farm on Zynga's Farmville
Recently, You’ve had to become fans to get a bigger farm, and play some of the other Zynga games in order to get upgraded farm stuff. Sorry, I’m not playing Mafia Wars for a reason, I DON’T WANT TO.
I gave FishVille a try, because I like fish tanks. After about a week of feeding my fish, I tired of it, and currently have sold all my fish, and assume I have a very green tank.
Also, with all the recent upgrades, added stuff etc, it’s taking longer and longer to load, and now that I’ve upgraded to the largest possible field, and you cannot doing any farming function in mass *plow all* *milk all* etc, it’s becoming far too much of a time eater than it should.
I’ve started ignoring most of the requests and gifts I get, because, honestly, while it was fun in the beginning, The appeal is gone. It’s more of a task now than a fun thing to do on FaceBook. Also, with spring on the way, and warm weather activities, the last thing I want to do, is be tied to my computer on a nice day collecting chicken eggs.
What is your take on FarmVille, and the other Zynga games?
I think Zynga games are fine–except Farmville. It’s not so much Farmville itself, it’s Zynga’s viral marketing and the simple fact that Facebook let’s them do it.
It has honestly ruined what little use Facebook has for me. Boo.
I’ve played farmville and also lost interest. They need to make “nerdville” to get me back in the game.
I play Farmville to unwind. I let it go for a few weeks here and there, but fruit does not wither like crops do, so no biggie. I guess they have cow barns and chicken coops now where you can collect from multiple animals in one click.
I guess I dig arranging things in a way that looks nice too, so there’s that for me.
