haven't been here for a while.. came back for a look around (I have missed just running around the place)

all my picture posts that I so loved to do all now contain "CONTENT NOT VIEWABLE IN YOUR REGION" for every image.

I feel violated

Hi, I’m very very new to this game, just started playing yesterday! I’m already loving the game and I think I’ll be keeping it for a long while.

I do wonder why most people I met yesterday seemed to be perpetually afk though, but it was cool seeing whoever those were chilling out (sorry if I had annoyed any of y’all with my bleating and jumping over you). And to the blackish-blue deer I met who hopped and danced around with me, thank you so much! You especially helped me fall in love with the game and dig a bit deeper. I hope to meet you, whoever you are, again as well as others! Everyone in this community seems so kind and cool ^^

My previous laptop wasn’t compatible with the game, but now my newer one is! I loved being able to experience this game yesterday! There is a specific beauty in letting other players dress you up, without being able to utter a single word. I cant wait to play some more ! I just found this community site too!

I was pleasantly surprised to find a good amount of people online! Btw, deer, kind deer who helped me make my character pretty thank you!! >:) if you’re on here, maybe you perhaps remember a player on oct 4th whom you turned me dark blue with yellow flank markings for a while and the barn owl mask, and then later kindly helped me finish the secretary bird set! And then kindly helped me get it again when i forgot to save it! :’) — all in all, I love this community, and this game is so cozy!

Is it possible to change my username? I really want to keep using this account I had since 2016, but I'm so particular about my username. Please bro I wanna change it :')

Hi! I just joined the game today :]!! I'm very happy to be here and I like exploring the forest, but I keep running into an error whenever I try to log in. It keeps giving me "!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN" whenever I try and log in on the game. I've made sure that all my info is correct, so I don't think its a matter of mistyping anything, I'm not really sure what to do. If someone could help me or give any advice on how to fix this I'd greatly appreciate it!!! Thank you ^_^

Hello! I'm new here and I want to find some guys/deers from today's online (27 of September 2025). You changed my skin so much times, omg. But I like to make it red by the river's idol
It was so funny to played with you! Hope, will see you next time!

P.S. sorry for my English

Hello! I recently downloaded this game to play it with a friend so i'm quite new, a moment ago we were having no issues playing the game as normal and running around before laying down to go afk. I clicked the minimize window button[i play windowed. 1920x1080 resolution], which crashed the game, and when I reopened it I was logged out, and the game constantly tries to reconnect, only to display an error. I tried turning off the "connect automatically" and doing it manually, didn't work. I tried restarting the game, didn't work. Turning my wifi on and off, also didnt work. I've sat around waiting a really, really long time, and nothing. The network status just says it's connecting, and then says error. The only solution i could dig up to my near exact problem on here was someone saying to make sure directplay is turned on, and I can confirm it is. I'm running windows 11 if that's any help. I'm kind of sad because I wanted to keep playing with my friend and I dunno what to do or if this is the right place to ask for help, but any help would be very appreciated.

Hey good morning, are there any active TEF discord servers around? I’m working on a novel series inspired by my stories on the TEF community site and wanted to keep in touch.

Hi, everyone! As a player revisiting The Endless Forest after around 10 years, I want to thank the crow (a white deer) and Rin (I did my research, lmao) for what I feel was a warm welcome I got from you both. It reminded me about how much time I used to spend in the Forest, and how welcoming it feels to lose the boundaries of language to communicate and just be with each other.

I lost my old account, but honestly, playing as a fawn after such a long time seems like a good fit. I hope to see you both around somewhere in the near future!
