The topic title says it all. I would like to know when you started playing Animal Crossing, whether if it was more recently or if it was a while ago. You may also talk about your memories on your first year you played Animal Crossing, your first town, how different was your experience compared to today's, what other Animal Crossing games you played in your lifetime, and more importantly, what your first Animal Crossing game you played was.
I'm one of the few AC players who played Animal Crossing all the way back in the GameCube era, before Wild World came out. But I didn't start playing until June 2003, when I was 10 years old. My first character was a boy (like me), and has the same name I have. The first town we had was a shared town for us three kids when we were little, but I didn't start having my own town until late July of the same year. My first town I had on my own was called Downtown (pretty stupid name, isn't it), my first character in that town was named "turtle" (which was my nickname at the time), and my experience was much different than what you know of me know. Back then, I did care more about the villagers and less about designing. I only had houses with the stuff I liked. I never cared about the HRA until later. I also didn't like collecting clothes as I preferred to wear my own designs. I didn't care about museum donations as I was afraid to shake trees since they have bees. My favorite store at the time was Nook 'n' Go because of its design and it had longer hours. And I did catch fish to pay my debts. I even hated the sea bass back then.
Fast forward to 2014 (when I created StarFall), my playing techniques have changed, opposed to when I was little (let's forget how New Leaf was a huge upgrade from previous versions). As someone who used to play a character of the same gender, I play of the opposite gender now. I also cared about interior design with fancy themes, town design, museum completion, and making serious money. I also cared less about villagers when I played ACNL.
Just looking back at my 2003 memories and when I first played Animal Crossing, I can't believe how much I have changed and how different I was as the time. I remember having stupid town names and stupid character names. Now I have pretty town names (like StarFall) and pretty character names (like Kaylee). It's also worth mentioning that when I was little, all three of us kids liked playing Animal Crossing. We even had our own towns. But now, I'm the only one in the family who still plays an Animal Crossing game. Another interesting fact: the town fruit of our first town we shared in the GameCube Version was the cherry, the same fruit that was StarFall's town fruit. StarFall was even my third town in ACNL.
