Hey GKitten, My questions are, how often did you feed them the fruit, and how old were they when you started? That one I fed for four straight hours was 62 when I started him on it and he died at 74. The time I put into that first experiment and the dissapointing results... go figure I didn't try with anyone else.

Hi Gohill, I just fed them a couple of times when they were in their late 60's - I also gave them a couple of swims in the 'pure magical water of the lagoon!' - maybe it was a combination of the two that did the trick!

Tried feeding 3 of my villagers 'magic fruit' and they've just died aged 90,91 and 92 - the 3 oldest so far! Could be coincidence but those I didn't feed with the fruit all died in late 70s and early 80s.
How often did you feed them? Once or more than that? I'm trying differant ways to get mine to live longer.

I'm curious also whether that will help.

Well, I feed all my elders with the magic fruit and give them "lagoon" time. I start in their late 60's and continue until they die. I don't do it as gohill and others do, hourly or anything like that. Just when I first open the game, check on my elders first and give them their "treat".
But it hasn't worked at all, they are still dying in late 70's. Someone in RA, I think, suggested that the longer you play the game, the less chance of longevity. I doubt if that's true, but, I still wonder how many players actually "see" these very elderly VV's working around the village or is it all about the stats page??
Anyway,
Best of Irish, Maura

I've done various "experiments" with my villagers.. just about the time I come up with a set theory, it gets debunked. There are some of us who speculated that age is pre-programed, assuming you've got all levels of medicine, the lagoon, the g.c., the majical fruit.. you've bought everything you can and solved all the puzzles you can to increase their potential life-span - after that, they die when they die, feeding them the fruit and/or putting them in the lagoon will not increase this. Realize it takes only seconds for a villager to eat the fruit, would then take him to the study the cactus, pick him up and make him eat fruit again and again. Say it takes 10 sec. to eat the fruit and 20 sec. to study the cactus (there were unsuccessful attempts and factoring those in to the 20 sec. to study). So, that's eating the fruit twice every minute.. 120 times per hour .. for four hours.. approximately 480 times. Seems to me, if you have a villager eat the fruit 480 times, if that doesn't increase their life-span past 74 yrs old.... someone more obssesive than I am can try. Besides that, had villagers die in their 80's who never touched the fruit. There are times I pick up an elderly villager and toss them into the lagoon. That's because there is no retirement and want them to stop working... they've done enough. Yeah, must admit, have had them munch on the majical fruit a few times as well... no one has lived past 83. AND...hahahaha... everyone who has lived past 79, neither had a spa treatment or ate the fruit. Ever since I started the lagoon/fruit therapy, they've died in their 70's. go figure.
