Interesting screens.

FNAVHRGNJ. Okay, images below the cut 'cause I'm too excited to crop them.













Dinah Moon, Illrose and Mabh stumbled across this guy today. A nameless, I think but that could be version 3.31 acting funny. I've only see the golden pelt on Gods before, and that red one... My god.

Is that what this was? A Gods visit? Or was it just some random glitch?


I think we've decided it was a hacker. :C

I clicked the deer's picto on

I clicked the deer's picto on the map, but now I've already forgotten it's name. xD And the picto disappeared when it sneezed into the god pelt.

But that mardi gras pelt was awesome, I've never seen it in-game before. <3

Is that even possible?

Yes, which is why M&A weren't very happy and created 3.4 so that it was impossible to hack data (:
Snowsauria's picture

I'm pretty sure it's not one

I'm pretty sure it's not one of the Gods, the picto it had - when it had one - was different.

That it was a hacker did also come to mind, at least when it sneezed into the god pelt.

Oooer. Didn't know that.

Oooer.
Didn't know that. o.o
Nifty solution, though. c:

Gotta admit, it was pretty interesting to see. Is it possible to track down the hacker and stop them from doing it again or do M & A not have that type of power...?

Thanks for the detective work

Thanks for the detective work Veegamer. 8]

There's nothing anyone can do against hacking really. M&A have mentioned before that they would make it impossible to play with older versions if it would continue.
DinahMoon's picture

Never encountered a god, so I

Never encountered a god, so I don't know what their pictos look like, but this deer had a picto and it vanished in-game. "Silentwave" was the name I got through the map.

-pets Vee- Good job.

Ohboy. Hope this incident doesn't cause them to shut down the older versions. :/

It's certainly not a first

It's certainly not a first gen. -obvious- :c -brick'd-

Can you find out when it was made, Unplugged? It's probably impossible to track down the hacker, but...

It could take a bit but I

It could take a bit but I could make an approximation perhaps. 8] But no, I don't have the knowledge for anything more in-depth.
It is currently the 2161-newest pictogram, out of 33965 used gen2 pictograms.
The newest pictogram I registered is #5706, registered on 18.1. So perhaps around March? February?
Did anybody claim a new pictogram lately? If so could you link me to it?

Do you have anything closer to march?
I know what I'm doing is useless but it's fun.

It's quite possible that it was created on march 10th/11th.
Thanks you guys. : )

while we were doing this two new pictograms were created.

I'm amused by how so many of

I'm amused by how so many of you jump to hacking. No one with any skillz is gonna hack your little game.

It was in fact a glitch, a result of poor a$$ coding. Trust me anom could tear this kiddie game apart without even trying.

The minute I logged into the account after registering I knew something was different about it. It had a pelt spell that could never be sneezed off, a frog spell, and that mask you see there.

Of course, as a fawn nothing ever happened. I considered the account useless, also because it never grew up when it should have until today when I tried it.

I was a usual frog, then I sneezed it off. To my surprise I was not the usual default pelt. I ran around a bit, figured it would fade or maybe only a glitch on my end, as everything was fine, even the picto was appearing for me.

I soon loaded back on the frog, ran around a bit, and the frog faded on its own, even more to my surprise I had a black and red pelt. When a crowed started coming I got off.

Obviously, I don't want to exploit it or I would still be having my fun.

This is on the newest version., not older ones Those of you claiming hack have no idea what you're talking about.

And FYI, I also have a glitched account with a picto that DOES NOT show at all, not by means of hacking, just blind luck stumbling upon a hole in code that in truth has more holes than Swiss cheese, also on the newest version.
Trust me kiddies, no one thinks your little game is worth the trouble of hacking........yet:P
Unplugged's picture

Woah calm down. Of course

Woah calm down. Of course people come to the conclusion that it's hacking, seeing as all the clues that people know point toward it. We're can't all be the biggest pros here so we trace back to whatever little bits we know.
I'm sorry if you were really wrongly accused. You may want to consider describing the glitches you came across to Tale Of Tales, over at the Problems and Bugs Forum.

Alright. Well it was a glitch

Alright. Well it was a glitch then, and I thank you for not exploiting it. I kind of wondered if that's why you'd suddenly logged off; so you didn't attract a crowd.

But Unplugged is right. I assumed a god, while others assumed hacking. Seeing the evidence... I apologize for wrongly accusing you, and then dragging you into this mess.

Control, there was a whole

Control, there was a whole fiasco here of people hacking on 3.1. what "happened" to your deer was purposefully done by players on 3.1 in order for the creators to make the new version to stop people from doing this. In 3.1, players could alter the code in the spelldata file in order to do this.

Everything on 3.4 can't be hacked; the spelldata file is not accessible. Everything is held on their server (: so if this were a glitch, please be honest and tell M&A about it so they can fix it if it's truly their problem.

I run my own forum, so I like being efficient in solving things XD

WOWWW. That first pelt is

WOWWW. That first pelt is gorgeous. I liked the light gold pelt, but the first one is just stunning. *must have shiny awesome pelt* Is it a pelt only the gods wear, or can it be given to you?

And I would guess it was a gods visit... apparently Michael is a gold-ish deer, maybe Aureia does something different every so often xD Either way, awesome screenies!


*EDIT: Derp. Reading the comments helps. nevermind! Eye Nonetheless, still very interesting...

I love that first pelt, I've never seen it before. So it's the mardi gras pelt? How do you usually get that one?

And so this was the result of a glitched account? So what would be the harm of using said account? Why get so upset about it? O.o

Several months ago there was an issue with people 'hacking' the userdata to obtain godly pelts and 'no' antlers. The Mardi Gras pelt, Gold Pelt, and Bloodred pelt are all Gods-Only pelts. No one but Michael and Auriea are allowed to have them. Ever.

Basically, the only plausible way back then to obtain these pelts was by messing with the userdata, but M&A have forbidden it and when things like this pop up in-game, it makes us all a bit uneasy.
If this glitch continues, more and more players may start trying to find ways to mess with the game to obtain it by any means possible.
