Farm Town Passes the 5 Million Daily Active User Mark
Slashkey’s Farm Town appears to be the first game application to reach over 5 million daily active users when it hit 5,154,945 according to data presented by developeranalytics. Below you can see the three top game applications on Facebook in terms of daily active users: Farm Town, Zynga’s Mafia Wars (4.1 million daily active users) and Zynga’s Farmville (3.9 million daily active users). As noted before, the rate of growth for Farmville has been impressive, and on July 20th, Farmville actually surpassed Mafia Wars daily active users for one day. No wonder these games were often highlighted as examples as part of the “Trends in Social Gaming” discussion at Casual Connect yesterday.
It’s only good if it actually works. Slashkey has been down for hours now – the second time in two days. If they cannot have their technology keep pace with their user base, then they have serious problems that may result in their extinction.
