Oh, Marcie will be leaving my town on the 24th, so if anyone wants her, let me know.

Illusion, Thonky will be one of your best friends. Between that, the AC:NL wiki, and (I check) /r/animalcrossing on Reddit, there is nothing you won't know. You can check out the bell-making guide for ideas on how to make money.

The first week or two seem to be really slow, but enjoy just starting because it's an experience you only get once per game (many never restart). It's a life simulator, to some degree, so it's not meant to be played more than a few hours a day unless you are farming beetles off the island, decorating your town, or talking to your neighbors. If you play it too much, you may get burnt out.

It's best feature is that it is a game meant to relax with. Take your time, get to know your friends (both animal and other humans), and enjoy just being in your town. :3
