My sister had been complaining earlier that her pelt would go back to default randomly and she didn't have anyway to restore this. I asked her if she has walked into any special areas and she said no.
I logged onto my account and shortly after lost my pelt as well. I was bestowed a new one graciously, but that one too, disappeared after a brief moment.
Is this supposed to be happening?

Since this happened last night, I will record it now despite already having made a daily post.
Last night my baby sister took a swing at the game. I sat with her to help her out with what little I had learned. To my surprise, she rather enjoyed it. She wanted desperately to have candles on her antlers but I'm not sure baby deer can even do that-let alone how to do it. This frustrated her a bit but she found a mask she really liked and it cheered her up.
What I liked the most was how many "friends" she was making. She met three or four younglings like herself and danced with them. One of which bestowed her with a new mask, seemingly deleting the one she liked. My sister chased this one and bucked angerily at it until it ran off. I, myself, would have been very hesitant in using agressive behavoir but to each their own.
The night ended with my sister being purple with large antlers and a mask which looked like a painted plank over her face. Not my first choice, but whatever makes her happy. I hope she keeps playing. This might end up being a good way for her to relax after a long day.

My first session was a couple of days ago and very brief.
My friend and I were sitting at the computer and I started up the game. We beheld a sleeping deer that became a faun when I logged in. I had a human face and was colored normally. The first thing I noticed was a menu-like thing at the bottom on the screen. There were no words so I had no idea what these buttons do. I tried some out.
Fortunately I was able to recognize agressive behaviors and made a note not to use these when I came across other players. I clicked another button and my faun mooed at me. It was cute but I found the noise strange and loud. Other cries soon joined my own and I knew I was not alone. I sought out the others.
I found a group of adult deer resting on the ground, along with a couple of young ones like myself. I was given a crown of flowers somehow and my name began to glow. I freaked out because I had no idea what it meant. My friend and I were laughing in confusion. Suddenly, I was orange and black-I looked like a monarch butterfly. I was overjoyed but confused.
I logged out shortly after.
( Could someone please tell me how to take screenshots? )

So I learned of this game when I sought out more work from Tale of Tales, having purchased and played The Path previously. What I saw of The Endless Forest looked interesting and when I searched for screenshots I was amazed by beautiful deer-like beings, all in different colors and patterns. I did some research.
I learned the game was an MMO and my interest peaked. Tale of Tales did an MMO? After seeing how they approached The Path, I couldn't imagine how they would approach an MMO. I continued my research. I learned the game has no goals and no means of communication and I was confused. An MMO with no dailouge? No speech? How was this going to work?
I quickly assumed the idea was to get players to communicate with each other in a more priminal manner and my theory was confirmed when I actually played. The idea is certainly a strange one, but I don't want to rush to bad conclusions about it.
I was very impressed by The Path, which I consider as a work of art, so I am now setting out to try my hand at this new game. I have generally positive ideas about it so far and I hope it proves to be just as wonderful as I suspected it to be. I will catalouge my ventures with this in a blog.
