Nobody ever has to sit and play a game for hours. There is such a thing as a pause button, so this game could have been originated to be more interactive. I agree with PixieStix wholeheartedly.
Waiting 10-12 hours for the store stock to change is insane. Fixing a leaky shower over and over is not my idea of intertainment either. I have bought and played all of the VV games and loved all of them except this one. This one is too slow. Yeah, it's fun to collect the collectibles, but you have to wait and wait for something new there too. Mostly I just get items to sell on the internet over and over. I will continue to play since I purchased the game, but seriously if the energy level thing was fixed, the peeps earned money a little faster,and the store updated say every hour or so, it would be a much more enjoyable game. Now I will sit back and wait for all the insults because I voiced my opinion, LOL.

Insults? You mean those trivial, immature things found on other sites? Oh, those insults. We don't usually use them here, lol.

I have to say that the 10-12 hours is a LITTLE ridiculous, especially to me, but I like the game very much .

No insults here either, but one comment: The energy is not something that needs to be fixed. It makes perfect sense the way it's set up, you just have to find what works!

*desparately trying to think of an insult...*

Nope, can't think of one...but I'll keep trying! I'm no quitter!

I AGREE WITH YOU PIXI, THERE SHOULD DEF BE MORE TO THIS GAME THEN THERE IS. IT'S GETTING BORING. I ENJOYED THE VILLAGER GAMES ALOT MORE AND EVEN THOUGH I SUPPORT THIS COMPANY, THIS PARTICULAR GAME I WOULD'NT INTRODUCE TO MY FRIENDS:/ MAYBE BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH CHARACTERS AND TASK TO FULLFUL. I ALSO DON'T LIKE HOW SLOW THE STORE RESTOCKS. THIS IS LIKE WATCHING PAINT DRY:(
