You sold them? Awww man I would bought them off you for double Nook's price just to get the complete set.

Hvlien I'm interested in the Pave set. Do you have some of the items I need?

I have an extra bed, closet and lamp for you.

Tappy might have the rest.

Deal!

I just closed my town...you gonna be on tonight? Or do you wanna do the trade tomorrow?

Come on over my town is open

Tomorrow is probably best.

Green, glorious, green! Happy Spring everyone! Good luck fertilizing your dirt for regrowth!!

My town looks like shit. There isn't much grass. Stupid grass wear.

Laurel from Otown, I don't know you are, but the mom is in my town.

Laurel isn't on the board, but I will let her know what time you'll have your gates open!

Probably around 6:30 tonight.

So hopefully someone strikes gold with their turnip prices this evening. Ours held at 100 or lower all week. We're at 102 right now and I don't trust Fridays! :/

I'm also praying!

I can say that it won't be me, my prices are just awful

Wow, is this just a bad week? I bought A TON of turnips and have checked twice a day and the highest has been 70? What gives? I was hoping it would have been REALLY high tonight. Four more times to check turnips I guess.

My Nooks is offering 59, I have been to two towns Lindsey's and Pixcy's both around 60-70. It is just bad all around.

damn, the fake economy is really taking a dump too

lol

I'm at 144 for Turnips and will open my town for the remaining 30 minutes if anyone wants that price.

The grass thing is depressing. I don't enjoy my town when it's all brown like this.

Well crap .. I run around planting more tress, only to go back to the Town Hall a few days later and .. guess what .. too many trees in some areas .. Now to figure out what needs to be removed. What a pisser!

Yeah, while I was pretty sure this would be the case.. I was wishing that when the grass grew, it would give you a fresh start. We're planning on lining all of our traffic paths with flowers, hopefully this will encourage growth along the edges of out "roads" and everything will then take off from there. We're basically going to ignore shaking trees for quite a while now, unless they're right off the roads.

It sucks that you basically have to let your town go to shit to have grass. I have flowers everywhere that need watering, but I guess I can't do that if I want grass. How annoying.

Have any of the games designers explained the logic behind this at all?

It seems to be a penalty for running and the regrowth is near impossible on it own. So how was this good design?

I think it had good merits, but the problem with a game like animal crossing is the testing phase. You have people burst test it over a couple of months, most likely time traveling to check all of the stuff, but this breaks the game. Without sitting on the completed game for a full year, they just can't see how people will really play it. Thus they play for a week or so at most, don't wear the ground too much, then time travel to summer to check all of the seasonal changes, this grows their grass back, so the testers don't get annoyed like consumers have. I have a feeling no one at Nintendo had even SEEN a desert town during testing, yet that is the norm in reality. It's just a flawed testing process for such a casually time intensive game. I think that the wear speed is fine, it's the regrowth that's the problem. It needs to be two weeks for grass to grow back, and then one week if sped up by flowers. This would be completely acceptable. either that or they need to add fertilizer and sprinklers into the game!
