Oh, how we all love to sneer at FarmVille addicts and how we love to point how inane and useless their hobby is, Never mind our own
WoW obsession. But now its FarmVillagers' turn to stick it to our face as these amateur farmers are now being given a chance to raise real livestock and real crop. Oh, if only we too were given a real life chance to have a word with those trolls and dwarves.
Anyways, back to FarmVille, the offer has been extended by a 2,500 acre farm situated in England. Basically, you will need to shell out $50 for one year membership fee and since it is going to be an exclusive club, the membership is limited to 10,000 people only. These people will then have the right to vote on important issues such as type of animals to be reared in the farm and the type of crop to sow on the farmland. All the decision will be taken on majority basis. And you can also visit the farm to oversee the implementation of your recommendations.
Well, how many people have signed up so far for this novel experience, we do not know, as the subscription numbers are being kept private. However, given the popularity of the game, we would believe Farmer Jon's assertion that the subscriptions are 'exceeding expectations'. The voting is going to start from May 26, so better get your spot booked now. You can visit the website here and you can see that community is already growing and is engaging in nice chit chat.
It all sounds fun and we believe that it would be fun, indeed, but the society has imposed some rules as well. For example, you just cannot barge in and demand to plant marijuana. For avoiding situations like this, the members would be given a list of alternatives and they would be asked to pick one. Well, we this endeavor all the luck and we also hope that our FarmVille obsessed friends would channelize their energies in a more creative way than to keep pestering us for sending them gifts.
