For those of you who like social networking, Facebook (originally intended for College kids) is a much milder, stripped down Social Networking as compared to Yahoo 360 and MySpace. Although there are 3rd party Applications you can add… it has a much cleaner / less cluttered look you can add.
A few days ago, a 3rd party application called "Pets" was released for Facebook. To me, it reminds me of a cross between Tamagotchi and with a hint of World of Warcraft in it. The idea is to start out with a level 0 pet - a bunny (or a colorbit). You can pet it, feed it or poke it from your Facebook profile (as can others) to gain XP and health. (Poke seems to give higher XP than Pet from what I have seen).
You can check mine out at Erica’s Facebook Profile
Inside the game, you "fight monsters" to gain XP, health and Gold. You can then use the Gold to buy items of armor and clothing to increase you hit points, damage and health. Pet me and Scavenging has been disabled from inside the game at this time. (Sorry! Scavenging (or petting) has been temporarily disabled due to high server load. We’re currently fixing this. Thanks for your patience!) The higher your XP, the tougher the monsters (Scorpian, Mantis, Spider, and an Ant) are to kill.
After you kill the monster, you loot the body for Gold and/or Equipment (weapons, armor, etc). You can sell the equipment for gold, carry it or equip it.
While playing it (mine has been alive for 10 hours - with a couple of hours of sleep being in the 10) I have noticed a few things.
