So...playing on the beta...is pretty lonely. I've run into a total of 3 deer. I'm not sure how long I'll stick with it. I wish there was an option just to go back and forth between the test server and the regular one (that's how WoW did their beta testing, so you never missed out on the real game).
I think my deer is going full-grown in about 5 days. I've already started trying to plan his appearance ^^. So far I've narrowed down some of the skins/masks/antlers that I KNOW I don't want...but that still leaves a lot to play around with.
So...I'm still trying to figure out this rp thing. I'm doing okay with just the regular deer interactions as a fawn, but I know I'm missing some things. Things I might need to know once I become a young buck...like how to tell when people are angry..because everyone always seems nice and happy as far as I can tell. Or when/how/if deer are trying to fight or play-fight...I don't even know -how- to play fight. I have a feeling my deer is going to be very fawn like for a long time. ^^
I'm also interested in getting involved in the text rp that I know people are doing...I just don't know how/where they're doing it. Is it strictly on a person to person basis using messengers? What would be awesome is if someone had a chatroom that people could just have running in the background while they play...since I don't know anyone to get in a specific rp with. I'm also not much of a forum rp-er...I've never been very good at it. So, chat rp-ers give me a holler sometime, send me a message here, or you can try to get me on gchat or YIM (my screenname in both cases is hereticrick). Though, atm I'm stuck in the beta till I send an email asking to get off of it.
your so lucky you're going to
Aww! Get off the beta and
Playfighting!! 8D Well, it's not that complicated, actually. It's just using the buttons for rearing, and for lowering your head (I use the animation called "Amazement" but "Anger" also works: http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/actions.html). Just make sure you mix it in with a lot of laughing to make sure that no one takes the aggression seriously.
As for how to tell if someone is being aggressive in the forest, it's again these animations above of rearing and lowering the head, plus some mooing and chasing, and without any laughter. I think you will be able to tell if it happens to you in the game. ^^ Not a lot of people do behave aggressively, especially to fawns, so it might just be the case that you weren't around to witness it yet.
