Farmville.com To Host Farmville Outside of Facebook
According to Techcrunch, Zynga is planning on making Farmville playable outside of Facebook at Farmville.com via the Facebook Connect program. This should be fantastic news for people who have Facebook blocked at work or school and still want to be able to enjoy some quality time with their farm.
Of course, Zynga has opted to use the Facebook Connect program largely due to the fact that they are still building solely on the Facebook platform and for good reason. Facebook enabled Farmville to grow to over 65 million players. That is six times larger than World of Warcraft.
You will still need to have a Facebook account to play Farmville, so that much hasn’t changed. It should still more or less be the same experience so if you like Farmville, this just means you have one more place to play.
Also, if you haven’t been to Farmville.com, it no longer redirects to the Zynga.com website. It’s actually a pretty nice looking game portal.

My 78 year old Momma would like to play farmville. But, she’s scared of facebook. Do you have to be linked to facebook in order to play farmville?
Carolyn, you do need a facebook account to play farmville. You might want to just set her up an account that she only uses to log on to play Farmville at Farmville.com. That way she doesn’t have to use facebook at all.
