Hello!

To log in, open the game and either hit ESC on your keyboard or click the red/green/yellow button on the action strip. Then go to network and input your login info!
I hope you get your email working, because thats where you'll get your login info...
If you use the keyboard controls, you won't stumble and fall while running! I found that out today
The whole frog business is just part of the game, I wouldn't think too hard about it
Hope this clears up most of your questions, and enjoy the forest!

Anyone know what ever happened to The Phantom or Lemon? Even Walter the deer whom courted Lemon when Seth and their adopted fawn left her? Did The Phantom really disappear? Is Lemon a real player? Or is she a legend?
Today I was by the De Drinkplaats when these two fawns came and sat beside me (Fawns rarely come up to me, but I show my respect to everyone of them) Suddenly two rabbits sat down and started nosing about, then a raven came and hopped about. I started hearing thunder claps and a occasional flash of lightning. Then I saw a beautiful rainbow above the De Drinkplaats. I also saw a big red fish that was 'swimming' in the air. Anyone know what that means?
Thanks!

I think Lemon went MIA years and years ago.

Verdalas is scarce on the site itself but will put Walter in game on occasion.

Vaguely remember this The Phantom deer, but I don't think I paid much attention to them and not sure what happened to them either. That was yeaaaaaaaaaaars ago too.

As for spellspammers the main thing is to just ignore them because they want you to get annoyed.
You can try hiding in the pond or running away where there's no trees that give pinecones or fungi for set things.
Or you can just sit your deer down, pull up the menu and turn Running in Background off, leave TEF alone for a bit and hope they go away. Spells don't affect you with you turn that off.
You can also turn players off too, I don't think spells can affect you with that on either.

You can find a lot of info on how to play the game here

I didn't even know that existed. It probably hasn't been touched in years. This was started...what...7 years ago, maybe? There weren't many users till the past 5-6 years. I joined a little over 4 years ago. That Wiki is way outdated.

When you post, there should be a green link that says "Smileys". If you click it, it will expand and show you the smileys that are available. If you click the smiley face you want, it will automatically insert it into your comment, and you can see how the smiley is made there.

They may just be playing, and the others may be laughing because they're having fun not because they're laughing at you. Usually if you politely ask someone to stop (shake your head no, move to a different area, etc) they will leave you alone, but if someone is persistent you can try turning down the number of players you see until they disappear, as someone suggested earlier, or run through the Crying Idol to get the red pelt, which cannot be cast on top of. Then, when they've gone, you just sneeze off the red pelt again.



I'm not 100% sure whether you just haven't gotten the registration Email or you're locked out of your Email account? If you just need to get your confirmation link, anyone can generate that for you if they have the link. I went ahead and confirmed your account for you (here is the link, by the way), so you should be able to log into the game with the same information you use to log into the Community here. Hope that helps!


I also noticed you've tried to post a picture a couple of times/accidentally double posted. Please try not to make excessively long blog titles (like a URL), as it will stretch out the recent posts page! You can edit or delete a blog by viewing it and using the "Edit" link that appears under the blog's title. The delete option will appear on the editing page, towards the bottom with the save button.
Also, to use the site's built-in picture blog entry, the URL must end in a picture format (JPG, GIF, etc) or the code will not recognize it. You can post images with regular HTML (<img src="URL">) instead. However, it's common courtesy not to post images that other people have made (such as the Smaug picture, even though it's lovely) without the artist's direct permission, so please try to avoid that as well. There are a lot of artists in the community, so it is an issue that is dear to our hearts!

The Community also has a ton of resources for new players like yourself! You can check out some of them here:
