I swear I'll start posting some character related stuff on here soon but I keep running into problems haha,,, I've been noticing that whenever I launch the game, I don't see anyone at all, I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting but that hasn't helped me at all- I'm thinking I might have to re-download the game entirely but I'm not very sure- does anyone know whats going on and how to fix it?

Hi! I made this account bc I was bored one day and found out about the Endless Forest and thought to myself 'Hey! This looks interesting!' and I've only been in game a few times.
Since then I just been stalking the forums and I've become increasingly confused on how things work around here. I don't understand how role playing here works, the lore, etc. I've tried the TEF directory but it didn't answer any of my questions at all,, I would really appreciate if someone could shed some light on some topics!! If you don't want to explain on here then you could ask for my discord and you can talk to me there!
I hope I'll be able to be more active in game soon, though I don't know how active I'll be since I'm in school and it's draining me really quickly,,
