    hi,

    i think about adding my friend code to those 'please add me as a friend' lists :), but i wonder, how safe is it? is there anything dangerous someone can do with my friend code?

    also, after someone becomes my "friend" (so we both add each other's code), what is the worst the "friend" can do? from what i see, he can perhaps see what game i'm playing, and what my favourite game is.... is there anything else?

    @gabor: You have to both add each other as a "friend". I don't think there is anything if you don't also add the other person.

    depends on the game itself, if your friends aren't into what you are into then it's just a waste of time. Friend of mine is telling me with Braverly Default, his friends are basically NPC one time used bots. In animal crossing, it's as easy as "leave the gate open and a friend from chile is with a friend in canada and another friend in jersey." It's good, just still feels a bit behind, just a tiny bit, but it's direct and immediate as long as you feel comfortable with a friend.

    Just don't let anyone you play Animal Crossing with try to take you out for ice cream and you'll be fine
