TBT's Farewell to New Leaf Event!

[.: Meri :.]

LMAO not the millisecond-only countdown

 

[micat]

the timer is scaring me even though I’m done with the event lol

 

[deana]

I was already scared of the countdown now this is milliseconds only is really threatening

 

[Aerith]

The timer makes me feel bad for not doing Picture Perfect or Mayoral Memories entries, oof.

 

[Paperboy012305]

I can't be the only one who isn't feared by the clock.

Yes, there are two extra activities I haven't done yet, however, I couldn't be bothered to finish them. They're just too much work for me to put in compared to the other activities. And if you think that should intimidate me, it honestly doesn't...

Edit: I actually DO have one fear for the clock, and that's for it being over. This was my most favorite event and I'm happy I got to hang with my TBT friends on New Leaf one final time. Unless they get pretendo of course.

 

[-Apples-]

Even if the event is over, we still have a few days until staff favorites are announced.

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

The millisecond timer is so needlessly ominous

 

[Seastar]

The one thing I meant to do but forgot was check Reese's turnip prices for one of the initiatives. I never spoke to her about it the entire time I was playing, lol.

 

[Yanrima~]

The millisecond countdown had my sides in orbit, haven't laughed so hard in a while until now.

 

[You got mail!]

Pour one out for the end of this event and new leaf online as a whole

 

[Mr.Fox]

Good times, New Leaf. Good times…

 

[Chibi.Hoshi]

So long, sweet prince

 

[Ananas Dragon]

satoshis spirit gifted me the minutes timer

 

[Rubygame]

So, I didn't want to add myself to the list of traumatic music that the countdown has resurrected, but then I read "Milliseconds"...

and my reaction was this:

(it was a wonderful event to let go this important part of my life, I'm so happy to be part of Bell Tree thanks so much to all the staff for hosting this wonderful farewell
But even if online is no longer there, I will continue to play until my 3ds dies)

Anyway, now only 10 minutes leftfff

pouring one out for new leaf

 

[Seastar]

This gets sadder when you think about all the other things going down with New Leaf online.
Sharing buildings in Happy Home Designer, battling and trading online in Pokemon gens 6 & 7 (R.I.P. Wonder Trade), sharing levels in Mario Maker 1.
Playing online in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8 (not deluxe), Splatoon 1, and so much more.

Y'all are making me wanna cry, I'll miss this era...

 

[LaBelleFleur]

Farewell, New Leaf online! I will continue to treasure all of the memories I made with this game, and with many of you - it's how I found TBT, after all! Who knew that when I decided to search online for someone to give me Zucker, I'd end up here.

I've been struggling all week to find words for how much this game & this event in particular has meant to me, so I will just say it has been truly wonderful to see so many of you returning to your towns, reconnecting with each other through online play, and sharing your own memories of this game that is so special to me. I hope those happy memories will stay with you long after the ticket gate closes for the final time.

damn we’re down to just 4 mins now… what if i started crying

It’s honestly kinda funny just how sad the ending of this event (and the 3DS’ online functions) has made me. I’ve never felt this way about the end of a TBT event before. I of course always feel a little sad whenever the events and fun I participate in on here come to an end, but this one straight up has me sitting and feeling all melancholic and nostalgic and ****

I’ve been struggling a lot with change, growing up and letting go the past couple of years. I yearn for the past and my childhood so badly that it actually physically hurts. New Leaf was so incredibly special to me, and still is despite not having played it in almost 7 years now. It was so special and monumental for TBT. I still find it hard to believe that it’s been almost 11 years since I was 11-years-old, sitting in the parking lot of EBGames (now Gamestop), waiting for my mom to get her things together so that we could go in and I could get my game. It both warms and breaks my heart that I got to see the beginning and end of New Leaf’s era. I’ll honestly miss it forever, as well as the 11-year-old version of me who sat underneath her blankets way past her bedtime just so she could keep playing, hoping every second that she wouldn’t get caught by her parents. She doesn’t exist anymore, but I’ll forever be grateful for the memories that I got to make through her and because of her.

Farewell to New Leaf Online was honestly a breath of fresh air. I didn’t get to participate in any of the New Leaf events since I no longer have it, but I still enjoyed reflecting on my time and memories with the game while working on my Picture Perfect scrapbook and Mayoral Memories writing! It was nice to try and channel my younger self to create my entries in a way that I think she’d approve of, while also incorporating my current self and feelings.

New Leaf you will always be special to me

This gets sadder when you think about all the other things going down with New Leaf online.
Sharing buildings in Happy Home Designer, battling and trading online in Pokemon gens 6 & 7 (R.I.P. Wonder Trade), sharing levels in Mario Maker 1.

Yes… the final day is fast approaching. Splatoon 1 is the one I’m going to miss the most even if I’m perfectly happy playing 3 nowadays. I plan on jumping online for it at least one last time before it’s gone for good.
