I just started it a little over a month ago, and play a few minutes every day or so, hit the money rock, dig up fossils, maybe do a little fishing(donate any new fish to the museum), shake a few trees, and made a perfect snowman a few days ago. Had an irritating insurance salesman show up yesterday morning when I tried it, and ended up in a dialog loop that force my character to buy insurance.
Yeah, I turned on my DS and booted up Animal Crossing on New Year's to see the fireworks and countdown thing, and get some of those party poppers. Just wish that those guys had more dialog.
Up to the second house expansion and Nook's second expansion.
Pears are my town fruit apparently(it's what I started with), and I also have some coconut palms from coconuts that washed up on shore.
Haven't done turnips(never turned it on, on a Sunday morning) or figured out how to do favors or give things to those other animals that seem to indicate that they'd like a particular class of item... Had a couple of them move out already.
Still kind of interesting to me ATM, but I can see where it will become incredibly dull eventually...
Town name is Khatovar.
Character name is Dirk.
Don't have DS handy, so I'll have to try to remember to look up the code and post it later...
