Not really a picture, but it's important that EVERYONE see this.

Dirrectly from M&A:

Since this is a way of playing with the game outside of the game's narrative, I'm afraid we cannot approve of it. As you can notice in the reactions, it breaks the illusion of the Forest. So basically everyone who is manipulating Spell Data is ruining the game for other people. Which is not a very nice thing to do.

We will implement a method to prevent this in the future (sad that we have to do this instead of adding fun things to the game...). But we don't have time for this at the moment. So in the mean time, please respect the other players and stop hacking the game. If you can't do that, we'll simply turn off the server until we have time to fix the problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS MEANS:
All deer using hex-editing to obtain pelts, need to remove them.
All deer using hex-editing to obtain masks, need to remove them.
All deer using the 'no-antler' hack, need to use legitimate antlers.
All deer using hex-editing to obtain antlers, need to remove them.



And for God's sake, don't post things on this post like, "HAH I WAS RIGHT" or "WTF THIS IS STUPID"

We have the orders. There's no need to fight, discuss, or otherwise.

When's the next Naked Day?

When's the next Naked Day? 15th of each month, yes?

Perhaps we should have a theme for each 15th. Like one 15th we wear only violets in our antlers, and one 15th we play as Fawns.

I think the "There are only two of us" has a dual meaning... not only are they the Two, M&A can't be everywhere at once and we need to look after each other in their stead.

To fling my arms wide in the face of the sun, Dance! Whirl! Whirl! Til the quick day is done...

What we have done is

What we have done is disgusting, I feel so guilty and ashamed of myself, being honest, even I tried hacking to get the God's pelts to try them on, though I only wore the Gold one. I feel so stupid for doing so, and I regret it. I wish no one ever figured out the antlerless trick. D:

I think nobody was

I think nobody was wrong.
There were, at that point, no rules on using the pelt and antler-less thing like we were, and people had been messing with game files and glitching forever. Glitching is a natural thing we do in the forest. So nobody was right or wrong. There's no need to feel bad.

Now that Michael and Auriea have said it needs to stop, I think that anyone who refuses to stop, should feel bad. But nobody, for, or against the situation, should feel bad, or mighty today.

@onyx

don't know if you can help me with my self-produced problem (I'm really ashamed that I've tried to get the blood-red pelt... I failed and I think I've deleted some spelldata... -.- I will never do that again! D:)

Now I always loose my pelt when I log in, can't sneeze any mask or antlers off, only pelts (but then my deer is totally naked again and doesn't have any pelt anymore, even if it had had some pelts underneath... (sorry about my poor english)

I really hope that anyone can help me Sad

Question, what if you like,

Question, what if you like, copied the spell data you got by actual spells -not hacking- and put it in another folder just incase you fall into the pond? Then you can replace the naked spelldata with the one you copied, is that still okay? I hope I explained it right. O.e

I'm wondering that too.

I'm wondering that too. Would you consider it 'breaking the illusion,' since normally you're supposed to collaborate with the other players in order to get your set?
