When I first joined the forums, I made a thread asking for people to help me unlock the train station upgrades by visiting my town. I left bags of 99k bells near the station so that people could pick one up as they came, as a thank you for helping me. (Which was a lot for me at the time as I hadn't been selling items on here or anything, so I didn't have many bells!)
But two users offered to just come back and forth to help me rack up the number of visits I had, and didn't even take any bells! They were just happy to help me get my upgrade by visiting again and again, with no benefit other than to help me out; which I just thought was the kindest thing ever!
I had opened up a train station upgrade thread as well, and someone came to my town, explored for a bit, complemented my town and gave me a crown for free!
The best thing that happened to me was within the first two weeks of starting this game someone gave me almost a million bells for free. It was the nicest thing ever! People are always so nice on these forums.
Some time, last winter, I visited Tortimer Island and met the nicest player ever. She gave me bells and played island games with me for like 2 hours. She was really really cool to talk to, but after she left, I never saw her again.
I made a massive giveaway thread one time when I was deleting my time (everything had to go) and the response I got from that was amazing. Everyone got so excited and was so friendly. It was so nice to see a whole load of random complete strangers come together and just have fun ^^
Yesss, I remember when I first started my animal crossing new leaf file and after a long search and hunt for finding friends to visit and hang with I met these awesome lady friends. One day I had my gates open and leaving a quick message to notify others that my town gates were open and profoundly met these groupies and we hung out at roosts and did silly things and laughed lots, also wacking each other with nets and partying super hard at club lols. It was a moment I enjoyed and probably won't have back, these several months really did change a lot of things and I do miss my newbies times <3
