Comments on: Zynga’s Frontierville is Capitalism for Kids http://westkarana.com/index.php/2010/07/29/zyngas-frontierville-is-capitalism-for-kids/ A blog about EverQuest, EverQuest II and MMORPGs in general Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:59:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Hudson http://westkarana.com/index.php/2010/07/29/zyngas-frontierville-is-capitalism-for-kids/comment-page-1/#comment-20315 Hudson Tue, 03 Aug 2010 18:24:29 +0000 http://westkarana.com/?p=5385#comment-20315 "Luckily for you, Frontierville has a solution: migrant farmhands. It may take YOU ten clicks to harvest your crops, but you can hire a migrant worker to harvest nine of them for NO clicks (but for 50 coins). Your friends will do all the heavy work for you, and all you have to do is count the coins, food and experience as they stream into your bank. Too bad you can only hire migrant farm workers twice per day." Awesome, just like real life Beverly Hills! “Luckily for you, Frontierville has a solution: migrant farmhands.

One of the problems I have with FrontierVille is that it is a clicky game, and much more so than FarmVille. The problem is that the platform, Facebook, isn't really good at picking up you clicks. Planting crops in FarmVille, it will easily miss 1 in 5 clicks. In FrontierVille, where you need to click on all that crap flying out of your harvesting in order to get the collection bonus, the missed clicks become very painful. I still think that Family Feud is the most social social game I've played because it brings all of us together in anger at the answers the game gives. Whoops, ended my comment prematurely.
