If you press two emotes quickly in a row, you can combine them to create a bunch of new actions!

Try Sad + Laughing!

Enjoy your fawnhood ....It is your learning process in the forest .
You can derp around a lot and other players will easily forgive your crazyness

Bowing to others is considered to be very polite. And who knows where that one bow will lead you/your character! Might find a best friend like that. ^^

(Ah, remember how I used to get lost in the forest. Best time ever. <3)

I'm kind of a newbie, myself, but here's a list of helpful resources I've collected. Also, I've learned the hard way that to post to this community, you have to first remove the Display Name from your account's Personal Information; otherwise you get an error message saying you need a valid author name.

Don't try to do what everyone else is doing just to fit in, trying hard to fit in doesn't work.

Don't rush into having a mate or fawn too early, as that can inhibit your ability to make more friends by limiting you to a certain group.

Play the game for awhile before trying to get heavily involved in the community. Learning manners there does help in learning manners here. Sit back and take the time to read things, learn how they go before posting. We're a bit more mature in our behavior than other sites, as players here are a wider variety of ages. This isn't WolfQuest, Neopets, or FeralHeart. Things do work differently here.


Learn to listen. Don't just get an idea stuck in your head and go with it. Sometimes advice will lead you in a better direction.

Make a screenshot blog whenever you're playing in the Forest ((Here's a good example of one)) and ask who you interacted with in the photos. It's a great way to break the ice and make new friends, and also your screenshots will be a wonderful reference of memories when you want to look at them again.

I also recommend uploading them to www.photobucket.com and linking them with image tags ( [ img] [/ img]) I can help explain this better if you're unsure, please feel free to ask me on skype.

@Sylvestrix: By all means, go ahead! You don't need amazing design to make a biography. However, here is a wonderful place to find all sorts of coding and design info if you're interested.

@Sylvestrix - You don't have to have an amazing design on a bio, sometimes just simple bios are perfect. I've been here for more than 5 years and all of my bios are simple
