Farmville is basically the [[Trope Codifier]] and [[Genre Launch]] for games in a social-networking environment: action points that regenerate over time, insane customization and [[Gotta Catch Em All|collectability]], and progress requiring [[A Little Help From My Friends]]. ([[Stop Poking Me|Just a little]].) The formula works: Farmville has become so insanely popular that [[Blizzard Entertainment]] has [http://www.massively.com/2010/03/04/activision-farmers-could-kill-wow/ begun to consider it a competitor] to ''[[World of Warcraft]]''. And [[Follow the Leader|various other competitors]], such as an announced [[The Sims]] Facebook game.
 
It is a sister game to ''[[Pet VillePetVille]]'', ''[[Fish Ville]]'', ''[[FrontierThe VillePioneer Trail]]'', and ''[[City Ville]]''. It's not a well known fact, but Farmville is actually inspired by [[Happy Farm]], developed in China (which itself was inspired by [[Harvest Moon]]). You would think it's usually the other way around.
