i remember Mr. M once mentioned that the game was originally meant to be online. instead, they added the whole train station thing since they had decided not to support online for the cube.

On the GCN version you can either go to a town in the other memory card slot, or transfer your character to another memory card, so you could trade towns with someone temporarily and keep your character around and whatnot. You could probably do the same with the N64 version and a memory pak.Sriram said:

One thing that's always concerned me since this was announced was the multiplayer. How are they going to be able to do multiplayer towns when the game can be played without the wireless function on? Mainly, if Player A shares a town with Player B. Then while Player A is at school, Player B chops down all apple trees while Player A is gone, how does Player A end up seeing those chopped down trees? There's nothing recording that progress and the only solution would be syncing, but even from there things can become massively troublesome (say you play seperately for months, or you sell apples to Tom Nook but the other player had chopped them down much earlier than that).
Well, you could say that ACDS had no same village multiplayer at all. This is a possibility, each game could have their own town and only other players can visit... but this takes out a lot of the fun that AC brought to players. My favorite part of the game was the interaction with my sister when she was playing. How I could leave messages for her and whatnot. And now the DS is providing some sort of real time multiplayer.
The only major solution I see is that town data is saved online and constantly streamed. You can have your offline towns, but they're going to be under restrictions you can only get with being online. Maybe I'm totally offbase here, and someone has a better solution, but I'm really out of ideas.
EDIT: Err, I'm an idiot. I guess you could just share that one cartridge and that's how it would work. Like all the other AC games. You just won't have anything going in real time. Real time is just limited to visitors then. Or this is done via the wireless game sharing thing. I'm so confused.
