He will also give the player a first time read about local and online play and warnings before proceeding. Resident players who first joined the island can have access to fly to other islands or open their gate.
He also will allow players to visitHarv's Island or use a Nook Miles Ticket to visitmystery islands. DuringMay Day, he'll also provide flights to the May Day Tour. If theHappy Home Paradise DLC is installed, he will allow permit players to visit thearchipelago to work forParadise Planning.
