Have you had a villager leave and it crushed your soul?

Yes, Cherry! She is my fav uchi villager, some years ago i got her, and one day i day travelled to make a villager i didn't like leave, but who left was Cherry, she sent me her pic and said goodbye, i was super sad because she sent me a letter once saying how she was proud of me, and that one letter almost made me cry. I currently have her and i hope she never leaves this time!

a few years ago Guillson left my acnl town after my time travel hijinks. that crushed me. I cried, I loved him very very much and thought he deserved better than what his reputation is. I haven't got him on my anch island but I want to get him again to honour how much I loved him before.

Just happened recently Didn't play new leaf for just a few days and when I came back, Drago was gone. I thought it was so cool to have a dragon villager. Pretty disappointed that despite obsessively talking to villagers everytime I play, no one warned me it was going to happen.

Back in like early 2016, I had a town with all of my "dreamies" and I had completed pretty much every goal in-game that I had set out to do. I was getting kind of bored of the game in general, and was contemplating resetting my town. I think Mira moving away was the straw that broke the camel's back, LOL. I love her design, AND her house was in a super cool spot! (This was before the Welcome Amiibo update that would allow paths to completely control where villagers move in)

What's more heartbreaking is that the "sell your town for millions of bells when resetting" update was announced like 2 months after I bit the bullet

Editing this post on 4/27/2024 because while it isn't New Leaf I need to vent think it's relevant.

Picture this. You just hopped off Splatoon after a bad losing streak (if you don't play Splatoon just imagine whatever you play idk). You decide to decompress with some Animal Crossing: Wild World. Completely forgetting that you failed to play the game for one (1) whole day. You open the game, check your mailbox, and discover that Tipper, your FAVORITE VILLAGER, is GONE

This is my reality, and I am dead inside

OK for real though I'm pretty bummed about it, Tipper and Queenie were both in my original ACWW town when I was a little kid, and in this new town I made a few years ago they both moved in right next to each other! It was so cool! Meant to be!
Queenie left a few months ago already, so I guess Tipper leaving isn't the biggest deal in the world now since the combo is broken... I will just imagine they both moved somewhere else together
