About 1,260 users commented on the game's Facebook page, some lamenting the game's shutdown.

'PetVille' players were offered a one-time, complimentary bonus package for virtual goods in those games. 'In place of 'PetVille,' we encourage you to play other Zynga games like 'Castleville,' 'Chefville,' 'Farmville 2,' 'Mafia Wars' and 'Yoville,'' the company told players on its 'PetVille' Facebook page. The 11 titles shut down or closed to new players include role-playing game 'Mafia Wars 2,' 'Vampire Wars,' 'ForestVille' and 'FishVille.'
All the 11 shutdowns occurred in December. The San Francisco-based company announced the 'Petville' shutdown two weeks ago on its Facebook page.
