Hi, sorry for not replying sooner, been feeling sick the past few days. There is a limit of 100 neighbors via Origin Usernames, you can add more via Facebook (as they don't count towards the 100 neighbor limit via Origin), but I'm not sure how many. I have a couple of Facebook friends who play the game and have become neighbors via Facebook. I think 100 is plenty, and you only get Friend Points for the first 100 neighbors (you do keep getting XP and Cash though).

The page on Friend Points lays out all the prizes a how many Friend Points you need for each. The points for each Friend Action goes down after the first 10 Neighbors you visit each day, but it's still worth it to have more than 10 Neighbors and visit them all. You get 3 Friend Points for each neighbor that visits you, so that adds to your total each day. With only 10 Neighbors you get 300 Friend Points for visiting neighbors and another 30 from your neighbors visiting you for a total of 330 per day, if you have 100 Neighbors then you get 810 Friend Points from visiting your neighbors and 300 from your neighbors visiting you, for a total of 1110 per day. That's over 3 times as much.

Having a lot of neighbors will help a lot during Events too, but the best part is that once you get all the Friendship Prizes currently available you get triple the cash while visiting neighbors and a 0.5% chance of a free Donuts with each Friend Action. I get at least one Donut per day most days and have gotten as many as 7 Donuts in a day from visiting neighbors. You will need to make sure you have plenty for you neighbors to tap on when they visit. I have a cluster of 40 Brown Houses and 20 Kwik-E-Marts near the center of my town for neighbors to tap on. A good rule of thumb is: if you have houses and other buildings that can be collected on and not all of them have handshake icons over them each time you return, then you have enough, if you tend to see nothing but Handshake Icons then you need a few more Brown Houses (or any property that takes less than the amount of time you tend to be gone from the game to mature).

I have noticed that you were not playing. I will make sure I don't accidentally remove you (I have a few neighbors who often take the weekend off from the game, especially between Events, so I know not to remove them just because they are gone for a few days). Thanks for letting me know, I hope you get your internet back soon.
