Two players with the same picto?? o_O

When I was in the forest today, I found a sleeping deer at the mushroom circle... with a picto identical to mine! I had seen some like that before and thought it was just a "dead" clone that would disappear in time.... but that didn´t happen. Actually, it apparently had someone controlling it. o_o







I was sure that it was just a clone, so I begun to "peacock" it and sat on it...







Then Vala logged in. I showed the "clone" to her, and we desided to turn it into something...







...but when we cast a spell on it to make it a bird at first and then to a minideer, it came alive and started moving! o_o
My deer was quite freaked out at first. Sorry for roaring and lowering antlers at you. ^^;







In the end, we ended up dancing, until the "clone" ran away.

Any ideas who that would have been.... and how is it possible to have several players with the same picto? I tried to look if it had some small difference in it, but couldn´t see it. Weird. o_o

The same thing happened to

The same thing happened to Envy when I had been in the forest last night! Silvamord saw this Peacock'd Envy (I thought it was him; it was his symbol) so Silva laid beside him and waited for him to get up. After he didn't get up, I took off to the pond. When I came back, Envy was standing with his usual set, right beside the Peacock'd Envy.

We figured it was a sleeping clone that'd fade away- just like you did. But we crossed the river and who do we see following us but that clone? It bowed and mooed and.. Yeah. There was definitely someone controlling it.

And the other day I saw a naked deer playing with two minideer. He had Silvamord's pictogram.
Are there so many people using the game now that TEF is just giving out the same pictograms again? Because I dunno about you, but I don't like the identity of my deer being used by someone else :/

It's just a glitch, they

It's just a glitch, they don't actually have the same pictogram as you, it just shows up as yours. No need to worry. Smiling

Whoa, this IS freaky. o_o

Whoa, this IS freaky. o_o Yeah, that deer ran around too, and then went to the pond to spellspam with others until it ran away when we followed it.
But if this wasn´t freaky enough, Vala who was with me said that she saw the same deer... with HER picto on it instead of mine. o_o

What´s going on here? Forest is haunted, or something?

Yep, the glitch makes it so

Yep, the glitch makes it so that everyone sees the 'clone' deer as having the picto of the deer they are playing as.

It's good to know it's just

It's good to know it's just a glitch. I was worried for a while :/
Stil lfreaky though. Yay haunted forest XD

Really? That´s one weird

Really? That´s one weird glitch... I hope we didn´t scare that poor deer too much with freaking out on it without it even knowing what was it all about. ^^;
Thanks for telling, Tera. I was already thinking that there was someone using my picto.

AHH! The same thing happened to Angel! That same deer had the same picto as her! She couldn't get why that deer didnt realize it..lol-z.

Oh yeah. Thank you for putting up with Angel today Spyrre. Golden doe- butterfly mask- did the listen thing a lot. She thought you were very funny.

lol yeah not to worry, it's

lol yeah not to worry, it's a common response. Just remember for next time it isn't there fault, in fact they don't actually see themselves as glitching (they see themselves with their own picto) so they'll not understand! xD

So that doe was your deer...

So that doe was your deer... No problem, it was fun with her, even though my deer was a bit confused of what she was listening all along... She couldn´t hear anything weird herself. ^^;

Er..lol-z. Angel listens and

Er..lol-z. Angel listens and smells the air when she does that. She was trying to locate the source of new hoofbeats and she sniffed a lot to make sure you were the same deer she was playing with.
I always have to explain that she can't see anything.

Whatever. No worries. Angel wanted to peacock that deer too 8D She thought that she had gotten the idea first! o.O

I didn´t realize that Angel

I didn´t realize that Angel was blind. o_o Sorry, that explains a lot of her actions... My deer just thought that it was a bit weird, but didn´t really mind that much. ^^

Heh, there was a lot peacocking today... First that clone in the forest, and then another poor sleeper at the pond. But they are just asking for it by falling asleep with some part of the peacock-set on them, right? =D

same thing happened to me

same thing happened to me except the one who had same picto as me was a fawn , an annoying one too. Anyways its just a glitch , the other deer dosent actually have the same picto as you so no worrys. I freaked out the same way as you , I dont usually follow deer or fawn im actually REALLY scared and shy to get close or even stalk others but when i saw that fawn I got angry at it.
I think it freaked out because of my appearance since I have the Zombie set and i guess it was a new player so it just started running and got stuck by the crying idol .... i dont know maybe it was just my computer but to me it seemed like the fawn froze.... O.o;
