The Friendship Point Catch 22

The irony is that we tell new players that the way to succeed is to get 100 neighbors, and we point them to the "Add Me" thread. unfortunately most of the people they will be adding (from the add me thread) are ALSO new players. And what a new player needs most of all is cash, and sending characters on tasks generates money, but if all you have is ten characters, then rent from buildings means A LOT.

So now new players are visiting other new players like crazy, not finding anything to tap in one another's towns, AND they're not collecting rent!

Catch-22 indeed.
