9 friends, and the third tap on friend 9 is only cash, plus, as usual, your friends aren't even aware if you've visited or not. The game isn't near as fun as it used to be. Prime land now needing free land tokens, screen sometimes hard to move, unless you're trying to build an area, then I have to move the screen to get the object to move, because, the screen moves too easily to move the object on its own, is slowly driving me insane. I don't get as fancy doing an area as much as I used to. Now, almost everything I try to place, the sign pops up saying I'm maxed on buildings, so now, I'm removing less things needed, like flowers, parking, and trees. This newest event, has screwed everything, and the fun of playing has become a chore. I know EA needs to make money, but greed has become the norm. All the premium stuff costs too much, and after losing over 1100 paid for with real cash donuts have been lost over the last several months on in game flaws, I can't afford to throw money away to purchase over priced items. I'm glad I didn't buy the 90 donut bonus card for friends towns. Used to be worth the purchase, but for less than 9 friends, it's not worth it.
