Your neighbor added through the Community Neighbor Pop-up panel.

(In other words, you can be Royal Story neighbors without having to be Facebook Friends!)

You have to reach a predetermined level and not have enough neighbors.

- The people that appear are people who play Royal Story, but not player's Facebook Friends. - The list is random, so it might happen if you delete one it can go back to the list.

- You can delete a Community Neighbor at any time, simply click the red icon above their avatar in the Neighbor Panel.

Where is the panel to disable the function?
It will show if the player keeps closing the Community Neighbors panel day after day. (If the player closes the panel all these times, then the panel to disable the function appears.) Note: If you disable this function, it won’t show up again.

No, but you still can do all the actions.

Am I able to have any interaction with my Community Neighbors?
Yes, you can ask requests and send gifts to Community Neighbors, unless your Community neighbor ticked the button "disable requests from Community Neighbors".

Note: This field can be unticked to enable Community Neighbors requests again if you want to do so.

This icon indicates they are a Community Neighbor, which appears in your neighbor panel.
