Hello to the wonderful people of TBT! It's about to be the fourth year of New Horizons and, in terms of miles, everyone's getting richer than ever.
I had previously made 2 polls regarding this question, the most recent one closing just over a week ago so it's time we open one for the newest year ahead of us! You can update your answers in future and this poll will close 31/12/2024.
I had 1,327,320 Nook Miles when I posted in your 2023 thread back in June. I booted up my game to see how many I have presently, and I have 1,328,170 Nook Miles!
Only an 850 increase, but that’s honestly more than I was expecting considering I haven’t played in so long! If anything, I thought my total would’ve gone down since I bought some Nook Mile items late last year.
When I made the thread for the first time I did incriments like '0-5000' '5000-10000' '10000-20000' and it turned out that was way too low for this forum. Most people who answered had at least 100,000-200,000 miles! Big numbers, yes yes.
I'm amazed that people have such low amounts. I have over 400 thousand Nook Miles, and I've been playing for less than a year. Though I guess it helps that I haven't needed to buy anything with NMTs, and I don't time travel so I haven't needed to search for new villagers too often.
I started a new island and I have literally like 8000 miles. It's so hard to decorate with no miles!! I need to pace myself even buying streetlamps, it's such a pain. I don't remember how much I have in my older island, but I only have one cartridge so I can't really order from my main island and transfer the items to the other one. But you guys with millions are amazing, that just means you've been playing consistently for a while! Congratulations to everyone!
I am in the low range as well, I just spent 100K nook miles to build an amusement park. I don't even know how many bells I spent taking items to Cyrus to be customized. All I know is he and his cute girl are rich.
Around 8k, I started playing at the end of October and spent most of them on Island tours, but now that I got most of flowers and plants I wanted from those islands I will spend less.
I currently have 1,466,030 Nook Miles and counting. I've been playing on the same island since 2020 so that's definitely helped, though I don't think I could ever reach 2,000,001+.
