I noticed that I'm playing less and less on my Japanese town. That must be why you weren't seeing me online that much, as I got my North American copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Maybe at some point, I'll restart my JPN town without ever doing any glitches and see if I get another crash.
If you wish to play with my very stable North American town (and witness some of the French sold out signs and buildings), just tell me you want to. My NA FC is found on my signature and profile.
