Welcome to The Bell Tree, one of the largest online Animal Crossing communities! We have three main boards for playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf online: The Train Station for finding other people to play with, Re-Tail for buying and selling items, and Villager Trading Plaza for exchanging villagers. Please be sure to follow our rules and guidelines when interacting with other TBT members on The Bell Tree or in-game. Thank you!

General Principles

Respecting Other Towns

When you visit another town, be sure to follow the rules that the host creates for it. If you don't like their rules, you can always leave. Also use common sense when interacting in another town. For example, don't cut down trees or run through flowers. If you see an item on the ground, you should probably ask before taking it.

Respecting Your Visitors

When you invite others to visit your town, don't expect them to read your mind. If you have a specific rule you want them to follow, tell them. Use your judgement to decide if it's common sense or needs an explanation.

Playing Fair and Honest

We expect all members to honor any trade agreements they make. You should not scam or steal from other players. Exploiting game glitches for gain is also not allowed. This includes using The Bell Tree to sell duplicated items or using the forum to find people to duplicate items with you. In this way, we hope to reduce the negative impact that cheating has on the game.

Being Responsible For Yourself and Your Town

Even if you meet other players on this forum, please remember that you are still responsible for yourself and your town. The Bell Tree cannot be responsible for what someone else says to you online or what they do to your town. If you want to end the session without saving, use the Wi-Fi switch on the right of your 3DS to turn off your connection. This will reset any damages that were made by them.

Dealing With In-Game Trouble Makers

If someone creates a bad experience for you in the game, leave them a negative feedback to warn other players. These scores can be seen from the Train Station, Re-Tail, and Villager Trading Plaza boards. To give feedback to a user, click their profile and go to the Wi-Fi Feedback tab. Also be sure to reward the good players with positive feedback! Feedback should only be used for in-game experiences and auctions organized on The Bell Tree for any online Animal Crossing game. Moderators may remove obvious violations of the feedback system, but cannot intermediate between in-game disputes.

Auctions

Auctions in TBT Marketplace, Re-Tail, and Villager Trading Plaza

When hosting an auction for your items or moving villagers, you must follow through with the sale unless you explicitly stated that the auction results are subject to be changed. Otherwise, the auction winner may give the host negative feedback for failing to complete the sale. The auction winner may also receive negative feedback if he or she fails to follow through with the purchase. Include as many rules with your auction as you feel fit, such as starting bid price, time limit, and bidding increments.

Forum Bells

Using TBT Bells In Animal Crossing

You may use forum bells with your item and villager exchanges, but all threads for such transactions should be made in TBT Marketplace. As in the Villager Trading Plaza board, buying threads for Animal Crossing villagers may not be created in TBT Marketplace. When accepting either AC or TBT bells in your transaction, post the thread according to whichever currency you prefer to use more.

And Remember!

Be a good fellow animal crosser, but be sure to also have fun! If you have any questions feel free to post a thread or ask a moderator.
