Another curious post ;w;

Do you remember your first TEF memory? Or maybe the near first one you could think of. Or the memory that made you fall in love with the game. Really, any of your first ones that you can remember I'd love to hear about.

Mine was when I was running around as a nameless deer, I came across a group of deer (really wish I could remember pictos back then!) and they were all jumping around and playing. Then one of them turned me into a frog and I was so shocked and confused I started laughing. That's when I knew I had to make an account!

Another was when I was a fawn, long before I found the community, and there was one particular deer I would follow around. (I really wish I remembered who it was, I would apologize!) I didn't mean any harm by it, but whenever they would go afk (which was often) I would turn them into a set I wanted for my fawn when they grew up. When I was first playing, I thought I was helping them but now I can see I was probably annoying the hell out of them! LOL

Anyone have any memories to share?

So, I and my friend lelled at this one site where they try to guess your age via photos.

Heya. I signed up for this game when i was... 14? ..15? when it was new. played it a lot...
I remember it one day and wanted to show my partner and to my surprise it's still here...
and the community seems stronger than ever!

I'm this deer, if you've seen me online today. I might come and hang out occasionally. I really like the world building and characters you guys are making!!

You can cast a spell onto a mini deer from v3.13 if the other person is using v3.4 (or higher)
Here's how:

This needs some editing.

One of the most charming things about the Forest is often its quirkiness. However, it can also be one of the most frustrating aspects.
There seems to be an endless list of reasons as to why the Forest won't connect; it can be extremely temperamental. Here are some things you can try to get it to connect:

If something confuses you, post and I'll elaborate.
I did this with a friend by accident a long time ago, and again a few minutes ago in a test to see if I could still make it work. It did~

1. The CREATOR of the BLOG POST with the username as its title must REMOVE the title in such a way that the URL of the blog post is changed to the node URL. This can be achieved by renaming the blog to a single period ( . ) temporarily (the blog may be given the original title again afterwards if desired). Verycrazygirl details the process a little more here.

2. The USER experiencing the problem must change his or her DISPLAY NAME (My Account > Edit > Personal information) to whatever the LOGIN NAME is. For example, I would set the display name as "Aivilo"

3. The USER should save and view his/her "My account" page, which should now have the correct URL. The map link should function correctly after this, and you can remove the display name if you desire.

Also, as a side note, if you are trying to find someone using the map and it takes you to a blog post, try adding -0 to the end of the URL. If you get another blog post, try adding -1 to the end. Increase the number until you find the user account or a "Page Not Found" error.

A tutorial on how to save a pelt on a mini-deer.

This requres game version 3.4 or higher! This cannot be done with v3.31 or any previous client version.

Connect to the server and log in. If you don't know how, read about it here.

Get the set you want.

Open your menu. This can be done by either pressing the escape (ESC) key (top left of your keyboard), or by clicking the connection/menu button on your action bar (see image).

Go to the "Network" tab.

Click "SAVE current deer appearance"

Your set is now saved! You can load your saved set by clicking "LOAD previous deer appearance" in the same location in your menu at any time.

If your deer's appearance is changed during game play, make sure you either sneeze off the extra spells or load your appearance BEFORE you log out. The server will only store ONE layer at a time, meaning you may save ONE SPELL EACH of antlers, pelt, mask, and shape. The top layer you log out with will be saved over whatever you had saved previously.
