bored after only 1 month of ACNL..

Well, there is one thing I can say I certainly agree with you as far as gripes about the game goes, and that is turnips. Good lord, constantly going back and forth between the station and re-tail gets old quick.

shuffling bells is not fun for sure! :(

Press B for the text to go fast, continuous press B to make the boatman stop singing ....

aye, i spam B as best i can, lots of times i end up cancelling the action at the end and have to start over again.. -_-

for me, to skip the boatman song, it's the A button many times! sometimes i will let him sing and read the funny lyrics :lemon:
 
Being poor makes the game so much more challenging, plus you don't have the money to do the bell shuffle. Lol

I think AC:NL is a routine game, there is no other way to play than as a routine. If they made an AC game that didn't play with that routine method, it probably wouldn't feel like AC.
Everything you said is on point, though. A trading archive thingy that is accessible at all times would be pretty dandy, especially if you don't have to add friend codes to trade items on it. I'm all for finding a way to end the bell shuffle, and add more storage space.

However, I wouldn't say I'm bored with the game. There are times where I play for hours during the span of a day, and there are times where I play for a bout 30 minutes for the entire day. The events, trying to complete my catalog/museum, collecting all the medals, and online keeps me coming back. NL is more like therapy than anything else, I play it to unwind.
I've also noticed online sessions are pretty brisk, a lot of the people on my list are added for trades, and no one really wants to hang out on AC:NL. I remember how social everyone was in WW and I wish NL was more like that. Not sure what happened.
I'd just like some friends who just wanna hang out.

When all else fails, harass people at club Tortimer. I like to pretend I'm a pillaging viking, and demand people to empty out their bank accounts. Don't be the buttface that traps people on the island, though. That's lame.

the routine activities are alright. i especially like to get my coffee for the day! and yesterday brewster offered me a job so i'm excited to see what that is today. i still haven't finished my museum donations so i like digging for fossils too. but i don't go bug catching or fishing for missing museum items coz i never see the missing bugs or fishes ever in my town or on the island.

it's these unexpected things in the game that keep it interesting for me.

chatting in multiplayer is frustrating... i think that's why most ppl just do quick trades and don't really hang out
 
For me I set personal goals inside the game.

Eg, right now I wana have all petit villagers. Than I'll start laying path, yes kinda late, but I don't wana go thru the heartache that many suffer because the villagers build on their path.

But my pwp placement is very bad, most likely have to tear down and build again.


Slowly enjoy and I wana at least go thru one whole year to see everything.

Can't wait to build snowman!

Ive had the game since release and im not bored yet. I still dont have all of the Rococo furniture, only have 1 gulliver item, no gracies, no cafe, only 2 public works built so far. I guess its all about how you play, but I dont get much time to play every day maybe only an hour or so during a long session. I can see how the people who play 10-12 hours a day would get bored. Im pretty sure I would get bored with anything I spent 10 hours a day doing. I think taking a break and setting new goals might help. I have lots of little goals that I work on a little bit every day.

very true. i played too much and got burned out!
 
I understand...it's very hard and laggy to transfer large amounts of money. Especially 55million for Ankha...took us over an hour. It would be a lot easier to (as Lunatic said) have some sort of 'bell card'. When I first started to play I found it a little boring...if I'm honest. I was a bit of a noob then, though. But when I started my blog, and later website (and 2 tumblr pages) I started to find it more interesting. Especially joining bell tree and meeting loads of different people made me want to play more. The release of acnl was delayed a lot over here..so me and my friend found it had a lot to live up to. She is now getting bored with the game, and actually, I understand. Without the internet she gets bored after playing for a while, and some days doesn't play at all. I play in a different way to her, and playing with friends and for my blog means I find it a lot more interesting. I have a lot to thank Nintendo for...acnl changed my life. I am a true addict.

Wow....10-12 hours....that's a long time to play every day! But then, who am I to say...I must play up to 6. But that's to talk to my friends as well, plus I have my blog etc to do.
