Hello! I am gathering information on The Endless Forest fan community to expand its Fanlore page. Seems there is plenty about it's history, but not a whole lot of community meta. So please, if you have some time consider answering a few questions for me! Especially if you have been a long-time TWF player. You may skip and answer questions at your leisure. Your responses may be used on the Fanlore page, either as direct quotes, snipped quotes (edited for brevity), or indirectly as footnotes. You are of course welcome to skip this all together and edit information onto the page yourself as well. https://fanlore.org/wiki/The_Endless_Forest

1. How long have you been playing on The Endless Forest?

2. What do you call your community? (For example, "Furry Fandom" for furries, "Creatures Community" for fans of the game Creatures, "Potterheads" for Harry Potter fans, etc)

3. Is there any unique terminology your community uses? (Example: "Hexies" is what the Petz fandom call game mods- this is unique to them)

4. How has the community changed from the early days to now?

5. What other places do you congregate to enjoy TEF's community/fandom? Other forums, websites, chatrooms?

6. Describe how roleplay functions in your community, and what it is about. Imagine you're explaining this to a newbie or outsider.

7. Have there ever been any major controversies in the community?

8. Would you say you are a "deer person?" If so, how do you see this as differing from other species-based communities? (Example: such as communities focused around lion characters, or around horse characters, etc)

9. Do you know anyone who has played TEF who has gone on to do something else note worthy? (Example: Ehtere making the Fawnlings ARPG in 2012)

10. Anything else interesting you'd like to say about the community or game?

Is there a group discord or additional fan server or such to hang out or is it just the forms?

hello!

i briefly downloaded this game many years ago when i was younger after seeing pictures and videos on the internet. i played for just a short time and i believe it was simply because i wasn't old enough to appreciate the beauty of this game- after coming back and spending a short time playing and taking the time to name my deer, i'm enamored with the beauty of it! it's so peaceful and tranquil, and the integration with art installations is amazing.

i haven't come up with a name for my deer yet, apart from their sigil- i believe i'll find a way to give them more character the more i play

thanks for reading! excited to make friends and memories

Hello deers, i´m sorry for this message, back in the forest after several years and a bit helpless and confused with few things.
So if someone can help me to find answer, i would be happy, support forum doesnt work for me, when i open that site its completely empty.
1.) I have lost my Candles on antlers, i used to wear them years back, in between new computer, so i dont have old datas. And rehojned forest shortly after Days of the all souls. So no chance to get them by picking in forest. Is there any chance or the only way is to wait whole year?
2.) I cannot upload picture, it says eror or it canot be moved.
3.) My deer is falling asleep, althought i can see others are sitting without sleeping when they are afk.
4.) All the forest is terribly slow, using Gforce, and cannot afford new computer and i´m not The computer wizard, so i´m afraid to do tricks with my computer.
Are there any chances for me?
Thank you and wish you all lovely late autumn forest day : )
