I am in AZ too!  I play every day / evening and gift A - Z also, with a side step where I gift a friend who sends me a daily gift.

What do you do when your Android dies. I was on level 91 

I've been trying to add friends too but most of the time it tells me "no matches" when I look up their posted id.  I guess they must be playing on a different platform.

I'm on a Fire tablet, which is android.  

My ID is a1272190 if anyone wants to add me.  I hate that we can only help 5 friends per day, so you have to rotate who you can help and I really want to help the people at lower levels than the ones in the 90s.  I hope they raise the number some day.  But I would definitely like more opportunities to play in the Anniversary room HOS, so please feel free to add me even if it's just to use each other's rooms.  ;)

Kitiara, did you know there are 3 gifting periods.  You can gift 5 friends during each period.  In my time zone 7pm/3am/11am.  That is 15 per game day.  Hope this helps.  Betty

I am probably not the best one to answer but I am sure others will chime in.  When you get your new device, your game can be transferred to the new device. You have to reach out to customer support and reply to every email.  If you don't reply they figure the problem is solved.  Everything is transferred except for your friend list.  I think (but am not sure) you start a new game and then they need both game's numbers (a12345678).  Hopefully this helps.

OMG, I did NOT know that!!  Thank you so much for the info!  I will have to try more often until I find out for sure what my 3 gifting periods are.  I've only been gifting once per night, which so far has been about the time each new night's castle challenge has started.

I've started writing down everyone who sends gifts to me each day and trying to figure out how to best gift everyone back, which has been rotating through the people, but then I always feel bad that I can't send gifts to everyone who's sent me one.  Having 3 gifting periods will definitely help!

I know there are people at much higher levels that don't care about getting stuff.  It seems like if someone is at level 93 and only lists the items needed to pack on the ship, then they don't really need anything and are only listing those so people who don't have many friends can at least send them something to get the postcard.  It would be nice if you could at least send a "Thank you" card or something.  I mean, you don't want to be rude, right?  ;)

I just checked and sure enough, I was just able to send out 5 more gifts.  Sweet!  I was feeling guilty about accepting so many gifts from 10 or more people per day and not being able to thank them all by sending all of them a gift back, so it's much better now that I can thank so many more people every day.  I just have to make sure I have enough time before work every morning to send another round each day too.

Thanks again for the info and for adding me as a friend.  ;)

You are so very welcome!!!  Most everyone is working on advancing the game and achievements.  Gifting helps and is a connection among players to a common goal.  For my part,  I include only items that a newer player would have. When I gift, I'm making an educated guess of what they really need.

If you check the clock under the Daily Quests Gnome it shows the countdown to the next new day. The 3 gifting periods are from start of new day to 16:00, 16:00 to 8:00, and 8:00 to 0. It's a good idea to make a note of what your local time is at start of MC day since some activities (like Castle Challenges) are linked to new day.

Example: I'm in Arizona so new day for me is 5 pm with gifting periods 5 pm-1 am, 1 am to 9 am, and 9 am to 5 pm.

Hello All,

Returning to the game, with a new profile, feel free to add me to your friend list!
