Couple of Questions!

I remembered this game again, I usually check in every year or so. I was wondering if there was any way to tell from my pictogram when I would have first played the game? I know this site says 3 years, I feel like I started earlier than that though, and I wasn't sure if the pictogram would help me narrow it in before this community site was made?

Secondly. I opened the game and it says others are online, but I don't see anyone. When I let the game idle to watching others in slumber, it locks on to a clump of players, but their pictograms aren't available on my screen at all. It's very lonely!

Hello! Glad you check in

Hello! Glad you check in ^^

To answer your first question, you might want to check your email to when your pictogram was registered (they send a confirmation email to you when you make the account). I'm sure you will see then!

I don't think I ever had an email linked to this game, it never asked for one, just a name and password. Even in my account options it doesn't have an email. I might be out of luck. Which is unfortunate, I was so curious to know when I started! But thank you Smiling

The picto in your avatar pic

The picto in your avatar pic is a gen 1-pictogram. If it is the one you registered and you didn't get it by trade then your account is older than 3 years. I've been here for over 4 years and I hav a gen 2.

Thanks for the reply! I

Thanks for the reply! I actually found someone who was able to help me out with more details (for instance, I was never a fawn and was amazed to find that fawns take a month to grow!) This puts me somewhere between beta and Oct of 2006. I read through some of the change logs for the game versions and feel like I fall somewhere between January and April of 2006. I recall deer sounding awful when I first played, the movement audio made them sound enormous, BUT I'm not sure if I was stuck only to the ruins.

I do know that there were no animations when I played for the first time, but I'm not sure if all the areas were available either. I do remember eventually playing with no animations but only having access to the pond, twin statues, and the ruins! I'm fine not having it narrowed down to the month, I'm just glad I wasn't going crazy. I knew I had played this game sometime in 2006! I've seen some trade threads today while looking for answers, I'm surprised that's a thing. My account was never associated with an email because when I registered, I didn't need to use an email, only a name and password. Even this community site didn't have an email associated with it, but I still don't think I could trade away something like this. I'm sentimental though Sticking out tongue

^Yeah, unfortunately the display name option is broken. If you set it to another name, normally it just won't let you comment, but it will also make you post as someone else (something most users tend to keep quiet about so it isn't abused). There are ways to tell when it isn't the actual person posting, but it's still a pain. Best to just leave your name as-is, unless you want to change the capitalization.
