So I don't know if people are having a hard time getting to neighbors right now (crashing) or if my town just has an odor lurking about, but the last 48hrs or so I've had very very few visitors. I don't really even care about the Vday thing, although I have more than enough myself I continue to pass them out elsewhere, but not even many building taps either! I have only a handful out of my 75ish neighbors that seem to visit daily, but the bottom really has dropped out on the majority of the rest of them. Sooo....just wondering if anyone else has this going on OR if there's an issue I'm not experiencing OR if I just have a lot of shitty neighbors (and few great ones- gotta send that love!)????

I think I still have a good number of friends visiting, but not as many as when the event started.

I think quite a lot of people are affected by this new bug that locks them out with a playing harp sound loop. That could be a cause. It could also be the case of 'I've got everything I want so I'm going to ease up on the visiting.'.

It could also be the case of 'I've got everything I want so I'm going to ease up on the visiting.'. That's what I was wondering...if there's a new issue going on that I'm (luckily) not having? I understand that things with the hearts have slowed down but I had more visitors even before the update than the past cpl of days. Sadly, I still feel a bit guilty if I don't visit others fairly regularly even if I was done a long time ago. Complex ya think!? Lol I've even kept a few fairly..um..unattractive towns just because they are good neighbors... |

I think it's probably a little of both, unfortunately.

Oh well...as long as I'm not stinky! I'm not! Really! LOL!
I guess I'll just be grateful for the good neighbors I do have and knock on wood that I never hear the dreaded HARP!

not just you. I have noticed the same thing. I am assuming it's the harp-bug (hopefully for not too many of my neighbours, and also that people might be doing life-related stuff on a long weekend. Or I have rabies.

A few of my friends are locked out by the harp freeze whereas some are just lazy. If you are curious as to who is who just check the last time they logged in, it's a dead giveaway. However, I love my lazy neighbours too  |

Did I mention that I make a great friend, and I'm not locked out? I know, I know should be in the add me thread.

Melody ...I have peeked at that but not sure how accurate it is? It seems to show everyone playing daily. I never log off. Like NEVER. I've only ever been logged off when servers were down or whatnot, but never by my own hand. I really like my neighbors for the most part too. I've cleared out the riff raff and have mostly lovely towns now except for a few that were among my first neighbor towns, but they are great neighbors! I guess I was hoping my neighbors were afflicted by an awful TSTO plague rather than becoming lazy! But that sounds hateful now that I read it back! LOL

I far as I know it only records you as logging on to your friends if you have actually accessed your town. I don't technically log on and off origin either, but it logs my log in times. I had a friend ask me why I seemed to log in every two or three minutes. It was when the game crashed all the time so it showed I logged on every time I tried to access my town.

Origin records each time you log into origin, not your town or your friends town. That means if you were playing another one of EA's dumb games and had given up TSTO (why, oh why would you do that  ) then it would still say you have been logging in. |

Tara, you are not the least bit stinky! To you and all my other neighbors, I'm sorry I haven't visited as diligently as before, but I'm in the middle of a town redesign and I'm going crazy over it so I haven't had much time to visit. I should be done in a couple of days... |

Agree Tara you are definitely not stinky. In fact having visited your town I noted the sweet fragrance of gardenias with a subtle unmistakable hint of orchids.

I had thought spring was in the air! But then too much can be a bad thing...don't want that overly gardinia-y old lady stench happening! Belch! :-S Your town is nice too! I love all the little positive reminders you've put here and there. Made me smile just as suggested! LSLeong ...I have always enjoyed your town! And you have def been one of my more regular visitors, so....disregard, disregard!! LOL |
