The open questions are: What sort of social features will game makers devise next to enthrall users in new games this year? And when does the Facebook “growth effect” begin to plateau? But CityVille had a second force behind it: With Facebook’s reach still growing quickly, namely in Asia, CityVille’s growth comes on the back of an larger Facebook - which arguably helps grow games even faster. True, CityVille is merely an evolution from Frontierville, another Zynga game which has similar features. It’s a sign that social interaction - something that CityVille has on steroids, by not only tapping your friends, but encouraging you to help friends build out their own cities too - is still seeing new forms of innovation online. Who would have thought that a simple city simulation would become the biggest-ever app on Facebook, eclipsing FarmVille? Zynga‘s CityVille game crossed 84.2 million monthly active users over the weekend, beating Zynga’s FarmVille, which peaked at 83.76 million users in March, 2010, according to market analyst AppData.
