    I had that happen to me, too, about halfway through my friends list. I bought an Elite Licence, and that seemed to fix it.

    My theory is that if you hit the amount of snakes equal to (amount of friends) X 5, it'll stop you from collecting more. So if you have 100 friends, your limit is 500 snakes per day, if you have 50 friends, your limit is 250 snakes per day, etc, etc.

    Anyone else think that's it?

    That makes sense :D

    although I haven't had this happen to me yet, I do have the elite license tho ;)

    Yeah, the Elite Licence fixes the issue, I think, I haven't had the issue collecting from friends since I bought it. :)

    It would make sense that owning that license would stop the issue, as it gives a reason to buy the darn thing lol :mrgreen:

    I have this issue as well. I don't think it's because I have reached a daily limit though. I have 100 friends and the first few days that I had my whacking licence (not the elite one just the one you can earn) I didn't manage to get to all my friends towns. I don't really want to buy the elite licence :cry:

    I have only whacked about 100 snakes in my own town today.

    Yes, but how many snakes approx. have you whacked in other towns, before you can't anymore?

    hmm maybe 200-300? I'm just taking a stab here - I think I maybe got to about 30 other towns each day.
    Spent more time trying to think of creative ways to place eggs in the towns I visited than trying to get to lots of towns :D

    Cheeres guys for the feedback. Sounds resonable, have 100 friends, minus 20 after today checking that they havent logged on for a mth, (seeya) but only visited 25 odd towns. Will monitor and give u an update hopefully with a resolution.
    Hope it clears up, still drying my eyes from having to store 2000+ items to even whack a snake in the first place, so trying to avoid spending more on getting the elite licence. Bit over giving coinage to EA after they made me undo all my decs.
    Feel free to add me, have enough eggs to cover a mcdonalds breakfast shift and wanting to give them to some responsive peeps as Ive had only had a doz dropped in my town so far

    I've gotten 0 from visiting friends. I am only getting doughnuts from my log and eggs.

    Hey,

    I just got Lisa's balance beam and now when I visit a neighbouring Springfield town the whacking button has disappeared. Has anyone else had this problem today or is there snake whacking limit per day and I need to step away from the ipad. Lol :D

    Thanks,
    Annie

    Did you purchase the elite license that lets you whack 10/day?

    My problem stems from the fact I ALREADY purchased the elite license. And NOW I can no longer whack snakes

    GETTING P#ISSED!!!
    2 DAYS NOW AND I CANNOT WHACK A SNAKE IN ANOTHER TOWN!!!!
    EA WHERE IS MY SNAKE WHACKING BAR GONE????
    Considered buying the elite but as mentioned above, doesnt seem to fix the prob.
    I'll say one thing about EA, they are consistant!

    PS. To the friend who left an egg right next to a passed out Barney in the street, he thanks you whole heartedly! Nothing beats an omlette with a hangover! Gave me a laugh!

    Yes, this is really annoying. It's whacking day minus any whacking. I don't want to get the elite license either as it doesn't seem to help!

    This is pretty poor from EA but ur right. They are consistent!

    Is this happening to more people and not just us???

    I had even tried logging out and reinstalling the app. This did nothing except waste my download quota.

    It wouldn't surprise me to learn there's another glitch. Try closing out and returning?

    I have the same problem. I do not have the elite license, but I can't be over my limit since it is 6:30 in the morning. I just logged on
