Seeking a friend I met today, can you help me?

I have never used this forum before so excuse my noobiness ^^; I met a nice person today on this game. I know ingame you can't see usernames or anything like that so its complicated to find this new friend of mine. I took a picture of their deer and pictogram though, so perhaps one of you may know them or even be them?

Any info would be great <3

First of all, welcome! I saw

First of all, welcome!

I saw this pictogram earlier. It belongs to someone who has never logged in on the site, so they don't have an account page since you have one only if you logged in at least once.

I think it was this name: http://endlessforest.org/community/Anastasya

If I can give you a tip though: play the game on windowed mode and use this map to know who you are playing with. Just click on their pictogram and it will redirect you to their account's page.

Ah, thank you very much for

Ah, thank you very much for the lead. Is it possible to contact them at all if they haven't logged into this site before at all? Or do I just wait and hope they appear online ingame ever again kinda thing?

And thanks for the tip ~

tho another question I got is why so many players seem AFK. Everywhere I wander the deer are all sleeping or just laying down and standing still for hours on end. Its kinda disheartening trying to find other deer only to be ignored because the player is just not around :"D RIP me

Sadly, you can't contact them

Sadly, you can't contact them at all. Unless they log on the site and display their Discord, Skype or Email. Or unless you display yours on your account's page, but I doubt they check the site so it's unlikely they would contact you themselves.

The reason why there are AFK players is because most of us play on windowed mode and tab out to browse the internet or to do other activities on the side. Like drawing or roleplaying on Discord or Skype, for instance. Some may have "keep running in background" uncheck too, so they can't hear/see anything that is happening in-game when they tab out.

Welcome to the forest!!!

Welcome to the forest!!!

Thank you

Thank you :"D
https://sta.sh/0186f9r92lok I tried drawing a fawn to celebrate. I usually draw lions and dogs so its got weird anatomy rofl

Welcome to the Forest! Yeah,

Welcome to the Forest!

Yeah, just wanted to like jump on the agreement train because I feel like newer folks sometimes get really put off by all the deer in-Forest who aren't actively doing anything. Please please please don't let that make you feel like anybody is ignoring you! Feel free to just like cuddle up next to somebody or hop around then.. anything, really. I've found that a lot of people who seem AFK are probably just running TEF on a second monitor or something and they eventually notice my deer and they will get up and interact.
lmao sorry if I sound like a broken record, I just wanted to make sure that what Anaïs said stuck and also I love it when new people pop into our little community!!

Also your fawn is SO CUTE! I really love how you made their eyes look so friendly an innocent.

I shall keep that in mind for

I shall keep that in mind for future reference then ~ so far I've met a few nice deer folk while playing who don't mind showing my nooby fawn around lel I'm just excited to hit my 30 day mark soon so that I can start collecting pretty pelts, masks and hornsss ~

and thanks ~ I may do some more art once I meet more people perhaps ~ I also want that Gazelle set one day yeeee

Oh yeah, most really love

Oh yeah, most really love fawns and will drop pretty much everything to show them the ropes. It's exciting to wait for your "stag day" when your little fawn grows up, hopefully you won't go bonkers waiting like i did for my first deer!

I for one would love to see more art from you! Choosing the right look for your deer can be challenging, but it's fun.
