Well it's almost been 3 weeks since I can't play...thanks for nothing S8....bad to worse. So disappointed in your lack of integrity for your game. Shameful
Mine won?t load either
All of my beloved neighbours have either quit playing because of this, or can no longer play as much because of it.
I can count about 30 (or less) of how many of my neighbours that still play somewhat actively out of over 200 since this issue started. And it seems I will only be losing more of them as this persists
One of the best parts of this game, the community, is being stripped away slowly but surely. I would look forward to chatting with neighbours about the newest event, or seeing what they got from these events. My neighbourhood at one point was full of energy, it is now no longer. It is actually rather depressing strolling my neighbourhood now and seeing all the people who no longer play, which is most of my list at this point.
I would genuinely look forward to seeing and having a quick chat, much less even helping people with materials or goods when asked. I no longer get asked for anything because everyone is having to worry about getting connection to game first, if they haven't already left the game entirely because of this.
But those days are long gone I'm afraid. Even if this was somehow resolved overnight, or even today, I fear most people have forever been soured by this, and nothing will ever change that for them.
I genuinely haven't been depressed when opening up the game before. Mad? Yes. Disappointed? Occasionally. Sad? Very rarely and that's only when I've lost in a competition, which is even rarer for me. Never actually been depressed by the game, unless I was already dealing with that prior to opening up the game anyways. But seeing all the people being driven away, especially those of which I called an actual friend at one point that are no longer playing or play as much these days is one of the worst feelings.
I don't want to rant. I've done that enough in the past and I realise it's a waste of my time anyway. I also don't have that energy in me anymore to do so.
I however wanted to highlight one of the best things this game provided was easy communication between players. It no longer exists like it once did because of all the problems this game has that basically makes this game unplayable for almost everyone and has driven away a sizeable chunk of this community in the process. It hurts. It genuinely hurts me emotionally in a way that's hard to convey fully or properly.
My usual work around of completely shutting down device is not working. Haven?t been able to load game for four days. Started playing when game first came out. Even throughout my stroke recovery but now it won?t let me. Very sad. Any advice?
P.S. I have tons of space in my memory. I have not deleted and reloaded game because I read here it doesn’t work.

I fear I will be off the game almost completely now as well. I struggle with login issues, though admittedly not as much as some others. However that doesn't matter much when I have no one to help or talk to anymore because they cannot get in or play themselves.
I've lost so many good friends to this issue, which has seen no improvement since it started a good year ago. Very unfortunate.
Honestly I am finding no reason to continue playing at this point. With me losing most of my neighbour list to this, it does make sense that I cannot find the energy or joy to play as much / much less play at all anymore. I have few to communicate and converse with now.
I appreciate.. Well everything this game has provided me. But with a community hardly still remaining because of the connection issues, the game feels very isolating at times. And as someone who purposely isolates themselves occasionally off the game due to depression, I don't want to feel that anymore. Especially when this game also feels that way these days, isolating too. It's not a good feeling. Or a feeling you'd ever want to feel from a game, of all places. So I am taking my leave now as well, for the time being.
I encourage everyone to enjoy everything they still can whilst the game is still (somewhat) playable or at least existing, even if you can't get on it as much as you'd maybe like to.
This game has its gems, figuratively speaking. Beautiful graphics, great gameplay, and many great people and things on here. I am deeply saddened to see that almost everyone is having to leave everything on this great game behind because of lack of support much less improvement with these issues.
I would like to thank everyone who came together to discuss this issue. Ultimately there was a community founded and that bonded over this momentarily, however, some of those same people have also been nearly mentally and emotionally drained from it and have since left as well.
I won't ever forget the days that I did take for granted. A beautiful playable game, with very helpful and kind people on it, of which I also occasionally took for granted. I've never found a game like this before, and I don't think I ever will again. I will miss and mourn what this community once was at one point more than anything.
