bored after only 1 month of ACNL..

[MyLifeIsCake]

I got boarded after a while, took a break, now I'm back. Though I really want to restart fresh, I'm resetting soon. Playing like I did in WW, not caring about villagers, not cheating, letting go whoever and welcoming whoever. It really refreshes your mind when you stop for a while and restart.

agree! i am easing off the game and playing it casually. much more enjoyable.

I've been playing the first Animal Crossing for almost 10 years (not the same town or anything, I change towns about once every 2 years or so) and I still love it! I can't wait to start playing AC:NL!

hahaha! 10 years! i don't think i've played any game for that long! that's amazing!

 

[RubyCherry]

Hmmm, an AC marketplace (accessible in-game) would be pretty awesome. Like eBay but for AC, and you buy things with your bells...

XD Thanks!

I've been playing for almost six months, and I play everyday and love it. (Not to mention I waited for the game for almost 3 years...)

I definitely think there could be more storage. That is like my only gripe about the game. I don't want to make mule characters, I like just having mine.. so I kind of have to be picky about what I keep. Hopefully 6 full house rooms, 4 museum rooms & actual inventory space will be enough to keep what I like. Most stuff you can order again anyway.

 

[ceribells]

I don't think its really about collecting things, I think that's an aspect of the game people get wrapped up in. Yeah, you can choose to fill your museum or catalog, or create the perfect town/house, but I think you're supposed to have a cute little game that's an escape from real life. I'm glad you're enjoying playing it casually, because I think that's how its meant to be played! Too many people turn the game into a chore, and I may be picky about how my town looks/when moves in, but most days I just run around for 10 minutes or so and say hi to everyone.

That's just my opinion. I've seen a lot of "I don't have time to play anymore" around here, particularly with students (which I am also), and it's so silly. I hope taking it easy continues to work for you, it's a big stress relief for me during long school weeks

If you actually play it fairly consistently over that 10 years... O_O That's amazing.

There's plenty of video games that are older that I'll go back and replay, but I obviously haven't played them for years straight or anything.

anything that would help selling/trading would be great!

super!

I personally don't find buying/selling to be a problem, especially since this community exists. Again, the worst part is dealing with time zones, since you have to meet with the person at the same time. I think if you could mail letters to other towns, that would help a LOT. Also if you could make larger than 99k money bags. Then people could trade by mailing letters to each other.

Another option that would work would be something similar to the Pokemon GTS.

As an FYI - the trading is also best if the host's internet is good. Most of the time when I trade, it takes place in my town. My internet is rock solid. I only had a problem in my own town once during the many, many times I've traded, and that was a Nintendo problem, not mine. I've had disconnections a lot more often when I visit other towns, especially when I visit people who live in the US for whatever reason.

i feel exactly the same like you. i don't want to have to resort to mule characters. i don't want to store things as gifts attached to letters. i just have time for 1 main character. i have stuff lying around on the ground in my town. i don't have time for this silliness. it's not how anyone should play the game. the fact that people are resorting to these tactics speaks volumes about the utter failure in the game's storage allotment.

6 full house rooms, and 4 museum rooms and the regular locker/dresser space is NOT enough.

it really sucks >_<

 

[Stacie]

I've had the game since NA release and I still love to play! I don't trade online very often though so maybe that's why the game hasn't been frustrating to me like it has to you.

Storage has never been a problem for me too, and I only have one character. If I'm not using the item in my home I just sell it. Sometimes I'll check and see if it can't be ordered again but I don't really care.

thanks! the game did start to feel like a chore to me, and that's exactly when any game stops being fun. i think it feels like a chore becoz it's "routine"... doing the same things each day. if they designed the game where we were doing different things (in scope, creativity, duration) each day, then it wouldn't feel like a chore at all!

hope you continue to enjoy the game too!

i'm really lazy. trading with others in this game requires a lot of effort. i have lots of things i would like to sell but i don't becoz, honestly, it's not really worth the effort and time. if i do sell it's becoz i'm really bored and just want to make others happy, lol.

i try not to be a hoarder in this game, but it's impossible for me, lol. there's so many cute, neat, and nice furniture sets and collectible items! damn you, nintendo!!!

I have been playing this game for a month and two days (since my birthday).
I love it. I have a real and true connection with my villagers, and I care about them so much.

I also like collecting things in games, just for the pride of having everything xD
I play to reduce stress, and just for enjoyment. Im sure that I will still be playing this in a year!
Wait for that to come back and bite me 0-0

I think the most I've missed is probably six months all together... XD

This was a good thread to read. Thanks for starting it!

Glad you seem to have found a way to play and hopefully enjoy it again.

Taking your time, taking a break, finding new things to concentrate on in the game, all good ideas.

I am not playing as much as I did before, but that is fine. I was playing a bit too much. lol.

I do have a hoarding problem and was considering creating another character to have the house to store things in...instead I think I will go through my available storage and clear out anything that can be reordered. I have already started clearing out one of my museum rooms. It was just FULL of so much stuff.

Again, thanks for starting this thread. It was an interesting read.

P.S. I haven't been really bored, but did get tired of going to the island to catch beetles to make money. I've stopped doing that as much. I also stopped doing some of the things that seemed like chores. If it wasn't fun anymore, I quit doing it and found something else to do.

hihi, glad you enjoyed this thread! lots of good input and suggestions by all!

my museum rooms are all full too, every square is used as storage, lol!

i agree! the game is much more enjoyable not worrying about making money all the time!
