CityVille 2 Closing – Going Up The Country

CityVille 2 Logo

Zynga’s singing a new tune. Zynga is singing;

“I'm gonna leave this city, Got to get away

I'm gonna leave this city, Got to get away

'Cause there's a brand new games coming that we’ll want you to play”

Play the video and you can sing along too;








I'm going up the country
Babe, don't you wanna go?
I'm going up the country
Babe, don't you wanna go?
I'm going to some place
Where I've never been before

 

I'm going, I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine
I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water
Stay drunk all the time

 

I'm gonna leave this city
Got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city
Got to get away
All this fussing and fighting
Man, you know I sure can't stay

 

Now baby, pack your leaving trunk
You know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause there's a brand new game that I wanna play

 

No use of you running
Or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home
As long as I've got mine

CityVille 2 has been scheduled for foreclosure on March 7th, 2013. If you haven’t been playing the game and try to access CityVille 2 you should get the following image to appear on your monitor;

Thank you for your interest in Zynga’s CityVille 2. Unfortunately, CityVille 2 is now closed to new players.

We invite you to check out some of our other Zynga games such as FarmVille 2, ChefVille, and Bubble Safari on Facebook.
Thank you for playing Zynga games.
Sincerely,
The CityVille 2 team

For more information the following information has been provided on the Zynga Player Support page for CityVille 2;

FAQ: CityVille 2 Closure

When is CityVille 2 shutting down?
We’re sorry to announce that CityVille 2 will be closing on March 7, 2013.
After that time, the game will no longer be available. We also want to help you find new games to play and enjoy. We would like to offer you a one time, complimentary bonus package in either FarmVille 2, ChefVille or Bubble Safari. The option to migrate to one of these games will be active until March 7, 2013

How does the Bonus package work?
Choose the game in which you would like to receive the bonus package.  The games in which you can redeem this one-time bonus package are: 
FarmVille 2, ChefVille or Bubble Safari.
Enter the email address where you would like to receive the details from Zynga Customer Support.
Click on the ‘Accept Offer’ button.

What if I already have an account in the other game?
The bonus package will be added to the existing account.
Can I have the bonus package credited to a different account?
The package will be added to the same Facebook account only.

What if I don’t have an account in the other game?
Please ensure that you have created an account in the other game, before redeeming the bonus package. We will not be able to add the bonus package unless you have an account in the game you wish the package to be added to.

Can we purchase items in the game?
You will be able to buy items for Golden Keys until the game shuts down.  You will not be able to buy new keys. You will not be able to purchase items for cash from now (2/5/2013) onward.
Why can’t I invite friends to the game?
We have disabled the ‘Invite Friends’ feature as new users cannot play the game any longer. The content that we are releasing from now is exclusive to you…our loyal players.

The question as to ‘why CityVille 2 is closing’ has been answered with the explanation that it’s ‘to make way for future game offerings from Zynga’.

The true answer should be that the game isn’t generating enough revenue.

If you look at the DAU and MAU ranks of the game then you should notice that there are enough players to sustain the game.

Mafia Wars players should feel lucky because if the AppData.com stats were a factor then Mafia Wars escaped a bullet.

App Data Mafia Wars Stats Feb 6 2013

CityVille 2 appears to have been kicking Mafia Wars arse in the user stats, at least.

Top Apps By Zynga

We do, however, know that there are some whales that still play Mafia Wars.

One does has to wonder how much life Mafia Wars has left in it before those whales turn to tuna and the game eventually finds it’s way of all the other game closings that have occurred recently. Ie Vampire Wars, etc….
