A Jeffrey?
I've always been confused on what you're actually supposed to do in this game! End up getting bored pretty quickly--going to try and prevent that this time and find more things to do.
I only have a little bit of time in the game so far, and my sister is actually mayor--not sure if that limits me at all. She plays more than me but we're both wanting to join up with some other players and check out other towns. My friend code is in the spreadsheet but here it is here too:
4940-6358-6540
Trying to catch up on this thread--is there a general FAQ I might have missed? Thanks!

I just made 189,150 bells in a single trip to the island...
Still got work to do. I've done over 380k in one trip

How the heck are you guys making over 100K+ at the island? The most I make on one trip is about 80K :<
Go after 7 PM, cut down all the trees in the middle (you can keep bushes), and go around the beach trees and catch the beetles that appear on them, scaring away the cheap bugs as you go. You can easily make 300k+ in half an hour that way.

I'd like to know too. I went there and went fishing for the first time to fill the entire basket and it definitely wasn't as prosperous as the numbers I've seen.
I'm guessing there's a lot of throwing back and only taking back the most expensive fish? I don't know which fish are more expensive than others so I just kept everything. :/

For the Meteor Shower do all of the times you press A when a shooting star comes by do you get an item or just once?
Catching only sharks and rare insects.

FC:3952-7963-5933 For all the new folk who are just getting the game. I wonder what sort of different things are added between regions. I know japan have this unique edible item I believe

There's a mosquito by you, you can catch it. It's teeny, though.
And which ones would the rare ones be? I usually only fish so I have no idea.
Sharks and beetles. That's pretty much it.
THIS HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING

I too would like to know. I'm only well-versed in rare fish.

Basically just avoid the really small green beetle and try to look for the larger beetles, they are all on the trees.
It's always been hard to say what the appeal of animal crossing is because there are different aspects to it. I think it's mostly for relaxing and for accomplishing personal goals. Everything is done at your pace. If you want to help out villagers, you can. If you want to collect things for the museum, there's that too(hunting for rares can have a sort of gambling appeal). In some ways it can be about getting cool stuff to decorate your house or your appearance. Or if you want to make your town look good, there's a whole gardening thing as well. And of course the multiplayer is kind of like hanging out in a video game.
But I think the most unique aspect is the real time clock. The day and night will be different. And the events are spread throughout the year, so you can never experience everything in one moment. Every month you can expect something new (like an event or a holiday) to experience.
Can it get repetitive? Sure. But at the same time, nothing is forced upon you, so if you get tired of doing one activity, you can always do something else. I don't think you need the mp to enjoy the game. And I don't think most people will ever reach the point where there's nothing else to do. It's more like getting to the point where you're ready to quit. Some people will play it for a month and feel satisfied with whatever they've accomplished. Others can probably play for years.

Anybody have their gates open and planning to head to the island? I'm all alone here and feel like joining
I am making island trips. PM me.
Hm, I never thought to cut down the middle trees. If only I had an axe.
You're lent one, talk to the gyroid.

This is me so far. x3
I chuckled.
If you have your net out it will chase after you.
Oh, right. Duh. I just never picked it up before because I thought it was useless.
Guess I'll try that method now.
RIGHT? Oh my god I ran up to one and swung at it and missed and met a terrible fate
I've added you and 7 other codes on the last 2-3 pages, if any of you want to add me @ 4940-6358-6540. Zero friends atm D: Just mainly looking to visit other towns on occasion, and look into this crazy island thing eventually.
Same with Picross-e, lol
ACNL's siren song is sweet....
And which ones would the rare ones be? I usually only fish so I have no idea.
Go for the big beetles in the evening/nighttime. Horned Emperors, Horned Atluses, Horned Hercules, among others. A couple of the smaller ones are worth a lot too, but mainly the big ones.
Bug catching is really fast too, because they spawn rapidly and catching them isn't nearly as tense as fishing. Just don't run and keep your eyes on the tree trunks. If you see one, ready the net and go in for the kill.
Grrrooooan. Of course I get the dreaded error code 007-2999 now when I try to download AC. Goes to 99% and then springs up with that error. And noone on the whole freaking internet knows what it means. Not even Nintendo and believe me, I've spoken with them. All the knucklehead troubleshooting have been done and it just keeps coming up with that error. I'm almost convinced it must have something to do with the nintendo servers and whatnot, and I guess I will just have to try later. But this is absolutely killing me
I'd have your net set up on the dpad, go up behind it, pull the net out, and quickly swing.
