When it is not the disappearing of my friends when I try to switch from one to the next, it's the jumping at a random place in my list, so I no longer know whose friends I visited and who I didn't... And the randomness of the list is another thing is it too much to ask that the order makes some sense...I just mentioned this in another thread, it's gotten to the point where I don't play as often as I used to. I'm sick of not only the random shuffling but coming back from a neighbors town and having no neighbors on my list anymore. It's terrible

Oups... I am sorry if there is another active thread about this. I really wish they will fix this problem before Halloween because if there is a special event it won't be fun if visiting friends is such an hassle.

I'm on Android and I don't notice that problem. Are you on another system?

Some of it may have to do with the developers making sure people don't cheat to have insane amounts of money the way they used to. There was a glitch in the system where you can visit a friend with lots of premium items an insane amount of times then go through collecting money from all friends and ending up collecting millions of dollars by the time you finish visiting 100 friends. They programed the game to prevent this and probably still has some lingering effects of the removal of the glitch.

It always amazes me how people find ways to cheat even with this kind of game...

This was at its worst for last night. I would go in to a friend come out to no neighbors or somewhere else completely in my list. It was madness scrolling back and forth trying to find which neighbors I had not yet visited. Then I came on here and saw the thread about the server crash.....I just presumed the two were related.

I'm afraid I don't visit my neighbors as much as I should because of the aforementioned issues. It has really become extremely time consuming and irritating! :x EA......please address!
