Nintendo apologises for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp server woes

You can leaf your hat on.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has struggled with server issues since its launch earlier in the week. Frequently you'll see an error message when logging on, or attempting to load a new area.

Today, Nintendo has apologised and offered all players 20 Leaf Tickets (the game's premium currency) to make up for it.

But the server issues aren't over yet.

"The issue is still occuring intermittently," an in-game message posted by Nintendo reads, "but please be aware that we are investigating it and will resolve it as soon as possible. Thank you to those users who have contacted us or left feedback regarding this issue."

You'll need to log-in within the next month to claim your free Leaf Tickets.

Still stuck? Here's more on Animal Crossing Pocket Camp's various error codes.
