Help!!

[twiggy]

I need help. Everytime I try to add neighbors it says the storm8ID does not exist. I don't know anybody who plays so I went to the community and took names from the community list to send invites. What am I doing wrong? Love this game but extremely frustrated. Please help. Thanks

First, you have to create your own storm8ID. Then you have to have the farmer's storm8ID to invite them. It is usually different from the farmer's name, so, if that's what you're using to invite them, it won't work. I didn't know anyone who played either. I go to a community member's farm, water, then post a message on their wall telling them I've watered and, if they want a neighbor, please invite (my storm8ID). I also watch for storm8IDs that have been posted on the walls and invite them. Others do this, too, because I have been invited to be neighbors by farmers I have not contacted. I started looking for neighbors this way two days ago and have 18 neighbors already!
