    I see. Odd though, I always run everywhere and it's never happened until today. I thought maybe the weight of his beard was making him topple ;)
    Maybe it is! I hadn't worked that out either.

    Thanks for that - why doesn't it have Animal Crossing in the title??? No wonder I missed it
    It was originally called (sensibly enough) "Animal Crossing friend codes" - and so appeared top of the google rankings and brought in floods of tards looking to swap codes. So I stealthed it. :)

    How strong is the wifi signal, palmoff? If you're only on one bar it might be that the signal is dropping out.

    Lorla, are you *absolutely* sure that your date is correct? I spent a couple of weeks accidentally one day out, I went to see him on a Friday by mistake and wondered where he was. He only turns up on Saturdays after 8pm.

    No, I think it's naturally part of the game. However, if it's like the Cube version, the more attractive you make your village (environment-wise), the more residents you'll get. Keep checking at the post office and carrying out improvements. In the Cube version, once you got over a certain number of villagers, Tortimer would build you a new bridge.

    Is there actually a reason behind animals leaving town?
    A few of mine have left, since I started playing and I don't wan't some of the ones I really like to go ;_;


    I managed to stop Cube from leaving. And I love the new Roscoe who moved from my friend's AC. The old one was mean and kept insulting me. The new Roscoe is kinder - keeps giving me stuff everyday! I hope I can he won't move out.
    Yes, I also found that you can stop them leaving if you visit their house and find everything in boxes, then talk to them and plead a couple of times for them to stay. Means you have to keep visiting their houses though.

    I kind of neglected the animals in my town for a long time - couldn't really be arsed with chatting/sending letters/presents etc. I've decided to turn over a new leaf. :)

    Paying off another mortgage today. Wondering whether Nook's going to build me yet another room or if that's now it. Also, I've finally maxed out on snow furniture, got a nice little letter from the HRA congratulating me. Now up to 75,000 points. Still some way to go before I overtake my Cube total.

    I dunno what the golden shovel does. It definitely doesn't guarantee fruit- or money-planting success.

    In the meantime, I have a fifth (sixth) room, and it's still not the cellar!

    The golden shovel only makes the bells sprout. If you bury bells with an ordinary shovel it just appears as a crack to show you somethings buried.
    Thats about it.
    In the GC version if you dug a random spot with the golden shovel it would sometimes dig up bells.
    In the Cube version there was a golden spot on the ground that would glisten and show you where you could plant money trees. This time round I've had no luck planting bells. :/

    boo, dig them up on Sunday morning and sell them to Nook for 16,000 bells each. Assuming you've been watering them all week.

    Has Joan ever sold anyone more than one? Two weeks in a row she sold me one, and only one, packet of seeds, every week since then she hasn't sold me any (told me to come back the following week).

    I'm really fed up with the turnip market in AC:WW, it's simply not worth the effort for the potential returns.

    I've not visited ANYone yet with this game!
    An eternally tricky question. I'm going to try going online tomorrow afternoon/evening, no promises. I'll bung your code in, you enter mine (see my profile), let's see what happens tomorrow (late evening UK time, my village is on GMT minus 6 hours).

    I don't think you understand. DO NOT POST IT HERE, this thread is not for the swapping of friend codes, we have a dedicated thread for that.

    Probably the Leonids. Did none of your animals say anything? I remember meteor showers in the Cube game.

    Well today I finally paid off my last mortgage - no more house improvements. :(

    Mouse over this bit if you want to know what you get in the final version of the house.

    It was all a bit of an anticlimax. I'll have to wait for tomorrow to see if they put up a statue of me like they did in the Cube version. :(

    Anyway, the good news is, I can now start felling trees and turning my village back into something that animals want to move to.

    Here's a question: has anyone progressed to silver membership of the Tom Nook Points System? It's very odd, I'm at around 3,500 points now but it still keeps telling me that I need 1,200 (or thereabouts) to qualify for silver membership! Is it a bug I wonder?

    God there are some cocks out there eh? :/

    Just hammers home the point about not letting anyone into your town except friends you really trust.

    Wow. That's a lot of points, then, for completing... what is it, 6 separate themes, potentially? Also does a bed in keeping with a theme but in your bedroom count for anything?
    I don't know if it's cumulative. I have one complete theme and three near-complete themes in my house, with one room given over to odd collections. It gets me only around 75,000. In my Cube house I had two rooms with almost complete themes and I had around 120,000 points (cellar didn't count towards score).

    AFAIK furniture/objects will only count towards your theme if they're in the same room.

    Really wondering what to do now that my house is all paid off! I gave a big wodge of cash to Boondox yesterday, they gave me a little present in the post but nothing spectacular.

    Apparently you can sell the leaf/tulips to Nook and that will dispose of them safely.

    I turned off the cat/letters after a week or so, I found them a bit annoying.

    Little point to Lyle, he'll give you 100 bells every time you trip or get stung by a bee, which is hardly worth the hassle. Later on he'll let you select the day for Redd's visit.

    There are some great bargains to be had at today's flea market, I've already picked up some great stuff. Staying the hell away from my own house though, don't want any of the bastards pinching my stuff. The only thing is, Joey has a moon buggy that I desperately want but he won't go home, he's off chasing insects!

    Has anyone noticed that if you chat every day to the budgie barrista at the Roost he'll slowly warm up and get chattier and chattier as the weeks go by? Also, often you can find characters from the Cube game down there drinking coffee. Kapp'n for example, and that train conductor geezer. It's great!

    Best of all is the quiet seamstress sister at the Able Sisters. Chat to her every day for a week or so and by the end of it she's flirting with you like crazy! Heh. Great game.

    Yeah I think some of the characters can definitely realign their gender preferences! Elvis the lion started wearing a skirt and flirting with me!

    Since I've been chatting to Sable every day she's started getting very heavy! I'm hearing some traumatic things from her family history. I dunno, it makes me kind of uncomfortable, I'm thinking of ditching her but I'm afraid she's a bunny boiler. :/

    In the meantime, I've finally been treated to some pigeon milk coffee from Brewster, which actually tasted pretty good.

    And yeah, Blathers will start telling you all about his insect phobia and his attempts to overcome it for Celeste's sake, if you let him.

    It's worrying, I really am becoming quite attached to the characters in my town. :/

    I've taken to having two packets of medicine on me at all times in case one of them is ill, and I start checking their houses every evening very carefully in case one of them is threatening to move out. So far I've always managed to talk them out of it.

    Bloody Gladys won Bright Nights - and she'd moved out the previous evening! The cow! So now she won't give me whatever it was she was supposed to give me for winning! >:p

    Oh, and money trees. There was me thinking that you could grow as many as you like. I'd planted at least 200,000 bells' worth of money trees, waited ten days for the first to bear 'fruit', which it did... and then none of the others did! WTF!?! :(

    As long as it grows, it'll bear fruit. But only every ten days (as opposed to a normal fruit tree which is every three days).

    My village is infested by ducks and frogs at the moment. I have three villagers who are ducks, and two who are frogs. It's really annoying, where are the badgers and monkeys that I crave??

    Oh dammit don't tell me it's one harvest only? :(

    To tell the truth I haven't had more than one harvest from one, yet.

    Is eight the max number of villagers possible then?

    1. Yes. Lots of us have gone online in the UK using copies bought in Canada.

    2. Yes, via Nintendo WFC, but apparently not over local WIFI. Or so I've heard.

    There's a basic parser which looks at your grammar. Try and write in proper sentence structure and they'll reply properly, with a present. Otherwise they'll just write back saying they can't understand you.
