Farm Town Goes Down for 3 Hours – Players Freak Out
June 9th, 2009

At 8.3 million monthly players and growing, Farm Town is one of the most popular games on Facebook. Apparently, it’s also one of the most addictive.
Tonight, Farm Town was inexplicably unavailable on Facebook for a period of about 3-4 hours. Apparently, the developers of the game had some significant server problems, according to a note they posted in user forums. However, that didn’t stop users from expressing their sadness:
We’ve received several questions about whether the application’s downtime is related to policy actions on ad networks earlier this evening. Right now, it appears as though that is not the case. We’ll let you know if we hear any more information.

That’s why I stick to pen-and-paper games. The Dungeon Masters Guide never has a outage.

My sight received 6000 page impressions, over 2000 visitors in a four hour span ish when Facebook’s online Game Farm Town dissappeared from Facebook. Safe to say this game is a hit!
