farmvillie is the most playing MMORPG (massive maulti player online role play games) nowadays. out of 200 million daily users at-least 70 ml of them plays farmvillie by Zynga ( a new entrant in the market who are playing in billions now).the game has change the virility concepts of on line marketing. but is it justified of spending office hour to understand how zynga is bringing up this massive online game? perhaps on the technical aspect it's really huge. the game design is powerful and evolving with time to keep the players interest.

Unless and until there is no motivation factor left; it is justifiable to some extent, else playing it for long time is sheer wastage of time, power and productivity!

yes it does hamper your productivity.. in most cases, it eats your bandwidth than anything else.. secondly it generates that curiosity that forces one to multi task between the game and another task as compared to 2 office oriented tasks

Something such as a Farmville can be classified as a tangible, conspicuous reason for unproductivity. Many employees take multiple coffee breaks, loo breaks, smoke-breaks and have been doing so since time immemorial. I'm not sure if taking a break increases one's productivity, but it most certainly makes one want to get back to work with a fresh perspective. Online games offer a break right at your desk. I think it is time less wasted! Unless of course someone keeps re-visiting which brings us back to the point of multiple coffee breaks, etc.

I dont think that playing it hamper the productivity as if you stop employee by force he will try to do it secretly.More rules more probablity of breaking. be with employee and help him to understand th importance ,he will understand and do it by choice.Remember every time when one is exposed to force there is something that break and vis a vis newtons third law is always applicable and a resistance is always be faced.So it is better to motivate the employee to do the work rather then forcing him to do the work
