Beautiful stories.... I cant help but be amazed how animal crossing has been part of your lives... I just really really started playing and hope that i can share my own story in the near future
Hamlet has been in my town since I bought the game at launch. He is my only original villager, and a firm favourite! Cheri moved in soon after, so she's been there over a year at least. The others were later, from the campsite and from trades. But I will always keep Cheri and Hamlet because they have been there so long. The town wouldn't be the same without them.
I've had Bluebear for a full year and a bit now (since I started March 1st, 2014). She was one of my original villagers and I've always seen her as one of my mayor's best friends. The other villager that I'd also had from the start was Wolfgang, but sadly he moved out when I was too busy to play a while back. It's my goal to get him back, though! My town is not complete without him!
That would be Lolly. She's been in my original town since I started playing...and that would be June 23, 2013.
Do I have the same affinity for her that I used to? No, Flurry has kind of taken over, but I still love her and I'd have a very hard time letting her go.
Lily is my oldest villager, not sure exactly how old but definitely a few years ago. She wasn't one who greeted me, but she was one of the villagers who moved in within the next few days sadly I'm letting her go next time she asks, on to fresher pastures.
My best friend Tom was a starter in my sister's town, in which I used to live (I was a second player and my sister was the mayor). So I met Tom on July 2, 2013. Then when I got my own D.S. and my own game I moved out and became the mayor of my own town. When Tom was in boxes in my sister's town, I picked him up, so he's been living in my new town since April 2014. So I have been with him for over two years, and he's been in my town for 1.5.
All the ones in Caprica except Molly I have had for over a year now. For Infinity I have had them all since I got the dreamies I wanted soon after i got the seconds game back in April(I had 3 starter cats) and it only took 2 weeks to get the non cats out and get the dreamy cats in in less then 2 weeks. Have had them ever since.
I am really good about keeping my villagers its not that hard to do if you are really involved in the game on when pings will happen and such. I keep a log of it. I also time travel but check every time at least 4-6 times each day.
Cookie is the only orginal villager I have left. I'm not sure of the exact date but I got the game shortly after it came out. I wasn't really a fan of her at the start but she's grown on me. And even when I left for ages when I got Pokemon she was still there to welcome me back.
