what year did you start playing tapped out?

I started playing just before Halloween 2012. Then Christmas came and I was having serious crashing issues. I also had an anonymous game on the go at the time that did not crash every two minutes so I signed it up on another email account (had to get the free goodies!!) Then EA fixed the problem and I ended up with two full blown towns that I have been playing ever since. I do buy donuts for both towns although I get way more for one than the other. I am very attached to both and could not imagine dropping either one. I do remember going through the reviews to find friends at the time so most/all of my original neighbors were Canadian like me. I didn’t know about this forum until about a year or so later.
