近来，游戏邦追踪报导了关于Zynga公司新款Facebook游戏CityVille的多则新闻。然而，最近CityVille新推出的内容稍稍透露了该游戏的背景故事设定。

在完成收获庄稼的任务后，CityVille玩家会在时空胶囊中收到一封遗落的爱之信，在斑驳的棕色信纸上写着：

“亲爱的，我迫不及待与你一起体验FrontierVille，请你有空一定来与我相聚，爱你的~”

cityville-frontierville-sequel

这个剧情在Zynga公司另一款游戏FrontierVille中，当玩家完成整理家园的任务后也曾发生过。这是否意味着玩家如今正在建造CityVille的土地正是当年打造FrontierVille的同一块土地。

Zynga将旗下其他游戏设定与CityVille互相衔接的做法十分具有新意。第一，能使玩家更自然地对待游戏中的相似机制；另外，也能通过故事的展开吸引玩家的持续关注。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

We’ve been bringing you lots of tips, tricks, and strategy guides for Zynga’s newest Facebook game CityVille, but now it’s time to take a look at something a bit different – that being a hint of where CityVille’s origins might have truly come from, at least in terms of the in-game story.

After passing a mission that requires you to harvest crops, you’ll come across a lost Love Letter in a Time Capsule, written on tattered brown paper, strangely resembling that of the letters found in another of Zynga’s games – FrontierVille.

The text on the letter reads: “My Darling, I can’t wait to join you on the frontier! Send for me when you can. With love, your spouse-to-be!”

For those that play FrontierVille, you’ll recognize this letter as being similar to the one you receive from your spouse as you’re beginning your quest to clear the homestead. Does this mean that the plot of land on which you’re building your city in CityVille is actually where your old Frontier in FrontierVille once stood all of those virtual years ago?

It would make sense that Zynga would tie its other games into CityVille. For one, it will make users more comfortable to see familiar mechanics (like the bonus items that pop out of buildings upon collecting, just like in FrontierVille, or the farming of crops, like in FarmVille). For another, it sure will be a great way to keep players coming back for more, just to see how the game’s story eventually unfolds. （source :Games.com）
