Facebook Goes Massively Multiplayer: Parallel Kingdom

Parallel Kingdom uses Google Maps to allow players to claim actual global territory, including their current and favorite locations.

Players team up to form kingdoms and challenge other players.

Facebook-specific features were also integrated into the social network’s version of the game, including:

• Integration with the Facebook ticker so that players know when their friends are playing and can connect with them;
• The ability to bookmark Parallel Kingdom for easy access from the news feed; and
• Interactions such as sound bites that correspond with player actions, such as hunting, building flags, and battling monsters.
