It may seem like you will never see the ocean again, but there are many Animal Crossing fans and players around the world do just that. New installations of the series, Crossing the Animals: New Horizons, which has been identified a short time ago and offers a way to escape from the tropics at a time when anxiety and pressure are high.
While the game is relaxing and offers some less important activities such as fishing and gardening to enjoy, other players have gained game experience that reduces their ability to enjoy it. These scams are always the first online for groups dedicated to New Horizons play, trade and advice. Players are promised materials, instruments, DIY recipes or locals swap their items for a high price for the game, only to be left empty or destroyed by materials and inventory.
Keeping New Horizons the way it was meant to be – it's time to translate and demonstrate creativity – players can benefit from learning about common scams and how to prevent them. With a collection of brief and victim-centered interviews and online research, the list below outlines the issues that players can get into while inviting others to join them on their island or while traveling to others, and how to make sure all activities are safe.
Crossing the Animals: New Horizons Scams
They don't live in "boxes"
One player on the Newonsons Facebook group managed to tease a lot of people, including one follower who visited the island in the hope that he would find Merengue, a pastry chef with a pastry, "in the boxes." When a resident leaves the island, the furniture in their house is replaced by moving boxes, and players from other islands can visit to show the resident that he or she is interacting with them.
The victim, wishing to remain anonymous, said they secretly contacted the poster and visited their island. After giving the requested Bears and things, he found out that Merengue was right on the island – but he wasn't out.
The player said he would be aware of the posts requesting independent DMs in the future, refusing to discuss the terms in public is a sure sign of fraud.
Hemisphere Hoax
Caleb Haynes is a player from North America, and he and three other friends wanted to visit the South Hemisphere island to save sharks and other special fish. They searched for subreddit and found the player with a reasonable request. Some have asked for 500,000 Bells to gain entry, but only party communications have asked to pay for the new bridge.
The group split the cost of the 228,000 Belts but soon realized they were not found in the Southern Hemisphere, and only caught North American fish. Caleb said the player in his team had contact with a smart person, who returned them their money, and that later they were able to find new connections in the right place.
You may not have much luck, so beware of people who give you the same ride.
"In Real Life" Delivery
It may seem wild, though sellers on eBay are asking for cold, hard cash of objects and citizens in boxes. Raymond, a new cat resident, and Marshal, a squatter resident, are common ways costs $ 50 or more. While there is buyer protection in the online auction and there is no way to know how many, if any, sellers will fall on their promises, it is risky to give anonymous money to a random person considering there is no real guarantee of an agreement before buying. The bottom line: don't buy anything at Animal Crossing using real money.
Credit Card Instruments
Other a real financial scam includes a series of fraudulent websites designed to obtain players credit card information. The website says that it accesses Nintendo's servers and produces any number of Bells for free. The site then redirected users to another page that acts as a beta beta group, which asks for credit card details.
According to one YouTuber, the link has been posted on numerous Newonsons-related videos and could result in hundreds – if not thousands – of dollars in theft. These scams are typical of different fandom and some are eventually reduced, but it is important that players keep an eye on the teens.
Item Theft
Some of the most commonly reported instances of players, such as on this Reddit thread, it is also common with the theft of material goods during tours of others. While players can interact with others in self-hosted organizations before visiting, there is no real way to stop another game from picking flower or hybrid forms. Providing a player is not made a "great friend," in this game, they will not be able to mow flowers or trees, so the vintage items will grow as well, but it's more than a little frustrating to wait three days for something artistic.
Although it may be just a video game, the physical objects and characters hold a lot of emotional value for the players, especially those that play during social interactions. Fortunately, there are ways that players can protect themselves and their islands, according to Erin Murphy, senior vice president New Horizons Facebook group with more than 10,000 members.
Murphy said players could easily erect a fence around shopping malls or residents' houses, and fit neatly into areas with trees or flowers they didn't want to be taken away. They can also create a small fenced area outside the airport gate to allow safe trade that prevents others from accessing other parts of the island. Murphy also recommended Dodo codes for private messages, allowing players to visit the islands without becoming friends with Switch. This way, some users won't use the code without the player's intent, and the player will know which person stole something when it happened.
Murphy said many admins and moderators from various Newonsons Facebook groups are interacting, so while he said he was unsure what consequences could come from complaining about a player with Nintendo, the team's celebrities could take immediate action to block and remove infringing players.
Not every scam can be prevented, but as Haynes and Murphy say, players can often take action after the fact. If fans are careful, they may not even need to. With a little caution and knowledge, players can continue to enjoy their escape from the hot environment without worry and pressure.
