Don't do this unfriendly BS.

Those of us who have towns that give you that kind of earning have the game crash if you do it while we are playing. Go in once, get your tap boosted by $10 to $60 and then go on.

You might do a lot better, but that poor 5 star Springfield friend will be rendered will be a crashy mess for 20 minutes with all that traffic you are subjecting them to.

Has this been previously discussed? This is the first I've seen that neighbors visiting your town can cause connectivity issues.

Personally, I have never seen a connection between crashes and neighbors visiting.

It's been mentioned in several threads. I think it's one of the reasons MoopsDude quit, since before he quit he had a huge shrub sign telling people to knock it off. And he posted more than once against it.

Personally, during Xmas I would notice a sudden freeze, see something like Simpsons or Brown House get a handshake, then a crash. And then about 5 - 10 minutes before I could get in. I purged everyone on my friends list who posted about doing this (except you) and my stability went up. And when I had a crash I could go right back in.

Occasionally I notice this occurring. I'll take the time to visit other towns a couple times, and make note of which ones are showing signs of large cash infusions, and delete them. Stability goes back up.

Thanks for not deleting me. :) I was confused for a minute because your name in the game doesn't match your name here, but I finally figured it out.

I don't actually do the bonus thing anymore because it's so time consuming and the money is unnecessary. I was mostly just curious about how it worked, since it initially seemed so random. I have plenty of cash now, and got too frustrated with crashing while visiting friends. Now it doesn't bother me when the game crashes, and I don't have to carve out a solid hour to visit everyone at once.

Ironically, I was inspired to up my premium item bonus when I found out it would help my friends, but I had no idea that others were trying to fend off neighbors who were repeatedly entering/exiting. I got my bonus up to around 27% but I have no idea how much that is worth to my friends.

I liked your design of the town square. :D

I got my premium stuff knowing the bonus didn't work. I either thought it was nice looking, or would be interesting. Kind of a mixed bag. Kearney and Duff Man are dull, the volcano ugly. Hank Scorpio and Moleman each have tasks that make me laugh at times. And it is fun to fire the laser at people going past Lard Lad. :mrgreen:
