Finding this forum has changed my game experience. When I first started I thought the more friends you had you must be one fantastic friend. So every day I invited friends I had over 200. It was ok at first, so I thought, then visiting friends happened. I had to develop a system as I could only visit a few each day. So I made a list of names and kept track where I left off. I struggled to advance, I didn't spend money so moving up was painfully slow. Sadly I have never completed an event, I thought it was because I didn't spend money. Since finding this forum I have discovered that since visiting and gifting is capped off at 100, it doesn't make sense to have more friends than that. No one wants to be left out, including me. Also my friends never visited or gifted me back until I started finding friends from this forum. On a good day I get maybe 40 visits now, all from this forum. One of my original friends dropped me today, but that's ok, they rarely visit and never gift back. I visit and gift every friend I have every day whether they visit me or gift back. It takes almost 2 hrs for me to do that before I even start to play the game. Some days it is hard to get it in and somedays I have to split it into more than one session. I didn't know about TTing either. And since I don't TT I have guilt that I am unable to return the favor. I have been in the process of deleting the friends I have that don't seem to be playing now and then I will move on to the ones that don't visit or send gifts back. Right now that is almost half of my current friends. If it wasn't for the friends I have made since coming here I probably would have stopped playing. My friends are great! Without them I wouldn't be where I am today. This forum has been a wealth of information for me and has brought me out of my shell, 6 months ago I would never have been able to communicate or reach out to strangers because I am so shy. So I want to say thank you to all my new friends. And know that I appreciate each and everyone of you for helping me move forward in the game. Cheers OllieG
