I just bought a 3DS XL so my code changed, it's now 3883-5638-2174 if anyone wants to add me. Still need peaches & pears and can trade all other fruit for it!

Ill add you, I checked my town, I have perches now. I'll leave it on tonight.
 
I now have:
orange
lychee
apple

When is everyone leaving their doors open? I can leave whatever you all need. Please do the same!

Also, since I am new to this, can you leave stuff like clothing, furniture, etc? I have some doubles, like Midna's Mask (looks sweet!) if anyone wants!

Added you!

Question: how do I delete your old pending add (from your 3DS on page one)?
 
Nabbed some peaches and cherries (I think from Zeke). I was a tool and accidentally sold the cherries that were offered me as a gift in game.

Anyway, now have:
Orange
Lychee
Cherry
Pear
Peach
Apple

I will leave my gates open tonight around 10pm EST. Feel free to just take from trees. I will also leave duplacates of items, like masks, at the gates. Again, not sure if you guys can take those, but if so, feel free. If you want to throw some coin, or leave some of your own unique clothing, that would be awesome too. ;)

I'll add you and swing by to pick up some pears. To delete my old card, you just go to the friend list, tap Settings and then select "delete friend card." From there you can tap any card and it will prompt you to delete it.
 
Gates are open. I have left some things, mainly fruit, but also duplicates and things I don't want by entrance. Feel free to take what you want. I will leave gates open for at least half an hour before heading to bed.
 
Gates closed. Will probably check back in a few hours. Hoping someone opens gates that has some fruit that I don't.

BTW, nice meeting you Dave!
 
I picked up an Xbox 360 on Craigslist today, so I spent the evening monkeying with it. I haven't even played ACNL today. I'll resume the open ate policy tomorrow.
 
Maybe someone can help me with perfect fruit...

Apparently I screwed the pooch as I sold my original lerfext orange (apparently when you start the game you get one perfect native fruit from the getgo). So what I have done is planted about 20 trees around my house, chopped down the rest so I don't have to run around finding them all, and am hoping for a perfect orange to grow eventually.

So what I want to know is simple. Can I just shake the trees and leave the oranges on the ground? Essentially I don't want to waste time picking the oranges up since they sell for next to nothing. I just want to shake the trees so that it can respawn in a few days. If I don't pick up the oranges, will that effect what spawns next?

I know they stay on the ground for quite awhile. The perfect fruit is not that special, the perfec trees you plant eventually stop yielding fruit.

As soon as I can get an axe, I'm gonna cut down all the non-fruit-bearing trees and plant new fruit trees.

Well I think the point of that is to save some perfect fruit for planting - you can make a lot of bells using perfect fruit the right way - especially if you store them up for visiting a non native fruit city.

Oh - does anyone know if fruit will go bad if I store them in my closet for a few weeks?
 
Okay cool - trying to save up a bunch of baskets of 9 of my native fruit to sell at a really high price in someone else's town - 10 baskets would amount to 45,000 bells!

Never played any of the games in this series before but this is like the ultimate casual game - Nintendo's rebuttal to Zynga and a superior product

From what I read, perfect fruit can be sold in another person's town for 3,000 Bells a pop, unless it is also their native fruit.

To answer my own question, you have to pick up the fruit.

I have a couple of perfect oranges that I would like to take to someone's town who does not have the orange as their native fruit to see how well they sell. If they do sell for 3k/per then it is worth planting the heck out of them!

You have been added!
 
I would recommend planting that perfect orange to grow a whole tree of them. I sadly sold my perfect cherry without knowing that you could plant them to grow full perfect trees.

Oh does anyone know where I can buy an ax?

Do you have the flower shop up yet? Leif, at the flower shop, sells either the ax or the watering can, depending on the day.

Also, a tip: The ax breaks after cutting down about a half a dozen trees or so. Even if you already have an ax, since it's a limited item by the day, it's a good idea to buy it when you see it and throw it in storage.

Anyone able to open their gates so I can see if selling these oranges is worth the hassle? :D
 
Took me like 45 minutes to make this but it turned out amazing...

Got the game about a day ago, never played Animal Crossing before, at the moment my 3DS is seeing more action than anything else. Boy, is this game addictive.

I have no idea what I should be doing in my town, I have been fishing constantly and paid off Tom Nook's initial mortgage already, it's an achievement right!

Anyway, my town has peaches (I sold the perfect peach this morning, oops), my friend code is: 1864-8934-8654

I'm not sure how I leave my town open to a ransacking, so any help there would be appreciated.

Cheers
 
Today is Summer Solstice in real life and Animal Crossing! - Seems we have our first holiday with ACNL - pretty cool stuff
 
Is nobody opening their gates or am I logging on at the wrong times? I got fruit bruning a hole in my pocket!

I'll leave my gate open around 11 pm PST... as long as I'm not busy and can remember

I think we both have oranges so I don't know what good it'll do though
