Basically what the title says! :'D

No matter what I've done, TEF refuses to connect and when it does, it won't load other deer, leaving me isolated in the forest, staring at the pictograms and waiting for them to spread. I was able to fix it for one singular day by uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but now that trick no longer works.

I've done everything. I've had my router reset, I've restarted my computer, I've opened the game as admin, I've used the .exe file directly from the game's directory to see if it was better than using the shortcut, and more. I'm so fucking scared I won't be able to play with others anymore, just as I thought I was starting to make friends here. I'm terrified even, because this was my little happy space where I didn't need to feel so anxious saying hello or cuddling with other deer. I don't know if I'll ever be able to play again, if this keeps up, at least until the remake is out. I hope the remake has better servers that aren't old and deprecated..

I'll still try interacting here on the forums, but i'm devastated I won't be able to see my lovely virtual daughter, Sanctity, grow and get her set. Maybe by the time I'm back from my sister's, everything will be okay

Lun

" That's all the life is—trying not to be lonely. "

Ageless - Mirror Pronouns - Genderfluid (never knows what they are at any given time) - Size #29 - Always IC

Lun is a faceless, white unicorn who feels as though they have no identity, nothing for others to latch onto or care about. It is in their nature to mirror and copy others, they can't help themself, though this only perpetuates their dark thoughts about themself further. Lun fears that, regardless of how close they get to someone, they will be forgotten so easily, so they often isolate themself to create beautiful pieces of art that may perhaps be remembered, even if the one who made it with their own magic fades.

Lun thinks that they have once possibly been a real unicorn, with eyes and a mouth and a voice. Perhaps that self had had many friends and family, and maybe they were a singer or poet. But this self is ink-stained and lonely.
Lun had a dream, lying in a crater of the ruins, of a big, soft unicorn plushie owned by a human child. The plushie was taken everywhere the child went and cuddled with in bed at night. It was clear that it was loved. Over time, that plushie had been torn up the family dog and stitched up, thrown and covered in dust from the floor, and eventually an ink spill that stained its fluffy white coat so badly that a wash didn't fix it. The child had grown anyways, there was no need for such a plushie, and something so filthy couldn't possibly be donated, so it had been thrown in the garbage. Where it belonged.

Lun had woken in a fright.
(full story on TH.. when it's finished ugh)

They are often found wandering around aimlessly, unless having found a nice dark spot to hang around and create in.

I've been thinking of upgrading how the bio post for both of my deer looks but I normally just go to Toyhouse for codes haha ^^'

Idk if there's a different sort of thing I should be doing, I suck at coding, but I'm a bit jealous of all the pretty posts I see! I've tried pasting in all kinds of codes just to see what sticks here and what doesn't and it's strange. I don't know if the html truly doesn't work in these forums for whatever reason (even the most simple, bare bones codes I could find) or if it's the preview feature that won't show me what it'll actually look like, but a nudge in the right direction could maybe help?

if not, I'll just keep it how it is, maybe point people to go the deers' TH pages and call it a day lol

Siblings of the Soul

Just wanted to say a proper thank you to the black-blue deer that gave Merlin a new look! I sadly had to leave to eat dinner and I'm quite sure I forgot to save the beautiful antlers they gave me before I went, but I'm back online now!

I wish I could learn names more easily, so this thanks could feel more specific and genuine, but I'm very grateful! ^^

I took way too long a break from a game, but playing again these past few days has reminded me why I took a break.

It is... so dead.. in here. At least I got to interact with *two whole people* not too long ago, but it was fleeting and I think it'll probably stay this way. I feel sad Merlin will never make actual friends to romp around with, and sad that he'll stay a default deer forever (as I have my very large doubts ahah).

I'll probably still continue to play and run around and scream at people (lovingly), and I'll hope that new beta does something about the dead-ness problem (please?). ill prolly be hanging around the playground or the pond - or wandering aimlessly in circles - at random times most days, so please feel free to say hi (and help me become a black owlish deer i would be so very thankful /nf)

Hi, I’m very very new to this game, just started playing yesterday! I’m already loving the game and I think I’ll be keeping it for a long while.

I do wonder why most people I met yesterday seemed to be perpetually afk though, but it was cool seeing whoever those were chilling out (sorry if I had annoyed any of y’all with my bleating and jumping over you). And to the blackish-blue deer I met who hopped and danced around with me, thank you so much! You especially helped me fall in love with the game and dig a bit deeper. I hope to meet you, whoever you are, again as well as others! Everyone in this community seems so kind and cool ^^
