I just logged into my account and found a few new neighbor requests which I accepted. I don't know if it was people from the forum "mining" for active forum members to add as neighbors, but that is cool. I'm always glad to accept any and all requests, and I responded to the material requests I had as well. Just know that I'll probably be slowing down on my game playing (not checking in every day) and forum posting. The amount of time and money I have spent on these games is ridiculous, and who knows how much longer I will be able to play with the ongoing connections issues, etc. I have been fortunate to be able to keep getting in for now, but my game is almost level 50 now, so I am expecting to start having problems.
