Hello, my name is Autumnraine and I am a Farmville addict.
My 8 year old plays Farmville on a closed Facebook account (no friends but me, I log her in and out) and she does really well figuring out how much she has to plant, how much she will make after the cost of plowing and buying seeds, etc... How many more animals she could fit on her land if she invested in chicken coops or stables for cows... and so on.
So yes, I say Farmville is educational in some ways.
I'm cracking up seeing FReepers ask for neighbors just like all the "Add Me!!" posts on facebook. But I'd gladly add you if you pm me your email :D
Autumn, my 8 yr old begs me daily for her own farm and will jump on mine if I don't watch and do all my chores! I'm just having a difficult time letting her have a facebook account.
