At the height of its popularity, there were 23 million daily active users, logging on to the game at least every 24 hours. Because of its popularity, the game's host,
Tencent QQ, capped the number of new players per day at 2 million. A number of later games have used similar game mechanics, such as
Sunshine Farm,
Happy Farmer,
Happy Fishpond, and
Happy Pig Farm.
Wired included
Happy Farm in its list of "The 15 Most Influential Games of the Decade" at #14, for its major influence on social network gaming, particularly for having "inspired a dozen
Facebook clones," the largest being
Zynga's
FarmVille. In 2009,
Harvest Moon developers
Marvelous Entertainment eventually released their own farming social network game,
Bokujo Monogatari, for the Japanese site
Mixi. ==See also==
