When the Town was New

I remember when the Town was first launched. I had these interesting looking people wandering around the bushes and boulders, and not being sure how to get them into my shiny new Grocery Store. I spent diamonds to open a small area on my beach. It was exciting to see the Townies walking on the beach, while I was trying to figure out what to do with the Court House! Of course now my Town has all the buildings and it is all decorated and groomed.

I am really looking forward to an update that includes Town improvements....

What are your first memories of your Town?

All this reminiscing going on! Love it!

I remember feeling a total sense of shock when I first got off the little handcar in town and saw bleached-looking grass, strange trees, pink rocks, "Barbie" buildings, and a collection of carnival side-show visitors. I was tempted to get back on the handcar and get back to my farm and fishing lake as fast as I could.

Eventually, the horror passed and I've come to tolerate the town "style". It does give me a place to put all the decorative items that don't fit with my concept of "farm". My town is fully developed with a pleasing town square, gardens and beach amenities It is the primary feature I use to sell my products. I never do boats or trucks except for events, and I don't do visitors even for events.

I, too, am looking forward to an update that expands the variety of features in town; not just another shop.

I remember a few hours ago when I spent 39,000 coins to repair train tracks... Hope to find it was well spent.

I remember frantically trying to upgrade this and upgrade that and get all the new tools to do so. I remember trying to hold all those tools, plus LEMS, plus BEMs in my poor little barn. I remember being really into the town and then slowly losing interest in it. I remember thinking the dancer was a drunk because she seemed a bit off. LOL.

It will be a good investment if you completely serve your visitors and they gift you with LEMs.

Prior to the Derby's introduction, I thought the gift giving was random. Er, no, I had to serve the visitors 2 or 3 times to get a gift or pick up visitors from my hoodmates and serve them once.

Thank you Derby for opening my eyes. :)

The Town. My favourite part of Hay Day!

I am still trying to expand some of my buildings but I am happy with my town.

I look forward to an update in the future that pays some attention to the town. I love the new Derby task of satisfying one type of customer. It is a lot more challenging than some realise.

Serving a person in one, two or three buildings is not really too much of a problem but as I said I love the Town. I love the rewards I get from the town. Hopefully future updates will perhaps give us a new building or a new character to serve. I guess people that love fishing say the same about the fishing area but each to their own.

I remember that I foolishly though the Town would look like a city...I guess something like you see on the adverts for Sim City. I've no idea why, but I did. So opening the Town was quite a shock...:D

I love the Town. I serve all visitors (except for the super greedy) because I'm in a 2/3 person NH. It's the only aspect of a large NH I miss, lots of people to pick up visitors from.

I'd like to be able to expand the town hall past 42, it's not big enough for the way we play the Derby.

I remember town. Vaguely. It was so exciting to get something new. I couldn't wait to see all of the shoppers and new shops. I also thought it would be more "town" than it is. The first time I went to serve customers in the grocery store local guy wanted 17 bags of sugar or something outragious.

Then I had a lightbulb moment and parked all of my buildings back in the back and covered the whole town in the trees from the store. The ones you can buy for green vouchers. I bought 70+ trees and covered all of town. Until it was pointed out to me that I might want to at least dump the shoppers on the platform for the nh to pick up. So town reopened. I still have disgruntled shoppers but at least they get fed occasionally.

Now about that fishing area.........

I too remember the rush to open up the buildings and upgrade the town. I do serve my visitors apart fro greedy ones as it gives me good xp and helps relieve the barn. That said I have no hesitation in sending away visitors who want dairy or sugar or anything I am low on.
A town upgrade would be nice😀

I love the town, i was so disappointed that it was 'forgotten' in last update. The town is my main source for axes and saws, I love my little townies how they wander around the area from beach resort to cemetery.... I remember the hours of hunting for maps in DD, and the time after the 'drought' when the DD was flooded with them, I stockpiled in fear they will be rare once again ;-)

I agree that the town needs a major, major update! A couple new buildings, The visitors (perhaps people with backpacks or carrying binoculars or something), decos specifically for town, or something.

I love the town too. I decorated it, made paths and put up walls and fences, even put my 100 level tree there, and managed to get it so my townies only walk on the paths between the buildings. No random walking townies in my town, they're all very well behaved :)

And each update I wish for that flower shop and ability to grow flowers...
