Social networking sites are very popular in the internet and Facebook can be considered the most popular of them all. High level of configuration and thousands of applications to choose from are one of the main advantages of Facebook , and lets not forget more applications are created almost every day. Although it’s a great way to keep in touch with friends there are downsides to it as well. Recent studies have shown that companies are losing millions of dollars because of Facebook applications ,since employees are addicted to different kinds of application available on Facebook. Some of these applications requires you to be constantly online to have any progress. Applications like Counter Strike , Warbook , Star Wars are some of the applications that rewards users who are constantly online.While you can play these games without being online constantly you have little chance of progress if you play it like that. From the above applications Warbook is the most popular game in our office. Many are playing it and some are playing it even during office hours which is surely a loss of money for the the companies.
I did a small research before writing this article and the things I found in the forum were pretty interesting. The alliances , the wars etc etc. TPL seems like the strongest alliance and RA seems to be hated by most. WBPC, VLK and Prem seems to be the honorable alliances around but I could be wrong with this facts so feel free to correct me. Another thing I found interesting was that you cant actually win and finish the game. Most wars are ended by ceasefires since you can actually wipe out an enemy alliance. I found the retirement speeched very interesting as well. Some of the hatred shown in some of the replies to the retirement posts simply amazed me. In my opinion warbook has gone beyond a simple fun game and is one of the main sources of time wasting for people , And by looking at the kind of addiction that is shown in the forum I think very soon people will be kicked out from their jobs for playing warbook. ( Hope that haven’t happened already )

What forum are you referring to RA is one of the most liked alliances of them all , they are one of the oldest alliances and notable for their honorable play. Its alliances like TPL and WBPC that abuses the rules and bring a bad name to the game. As for the addicted part , I whole heartedly agree.
