Zynga's CastleVille Storms Facebook With 5 Million Users Less Than a Week

Zynga‘s latest addition to the “-Ville” franchise, CastleVille, has had a solid opening. In just under a week, the game has garnered 5 million daily active users — meaning it’s growing faster than any other Zynga game did at this stage. Castleville crossed the 5 million active user threshold Sunday night, just six days after its release. By hitting that milestone, CastleVille‘s growth has outshined other recent introductions from the company, including FrontierVille, which got 2.6 million DAUs in its first six days and CityVille, which received 3.2 million. The 5 million figure isn’t the only stat to come out of CastleVille so far. Others include: 135,176,035 quests completed 4,594,750 expansions into the Gloom 23,845,983 beasties banished from the kingdom 182,360 Bubbly Grogs crafted 8,262,768 baby cows raised CastleVille still has its work cut out for it, though. CityVille, which launched last November, hit 100 million users within 40 days. CityVille is still the most popular game on Facebook with 51 million daily
