Hugs, I had issues figuring it all out too.  First I had to change my password even though I am alomst positive I had it right.  You have to type the same email in the top and bottom box.  At first I was putting a name in the top box and then an email under it.  Good luck :)

I'll have to watch that too.  I also cleared the board and it said no coins.  I got 360 in the Tiki game though!  It's in the rainforest if you haven't found it yet.

Back to more exploring!  I still haven't hit every area yet!

BTW--I noticed that my buddies all still have their homes locked.  Under Edit Home we have a choice to Locked, Unlocked, or Buddies Only.  Mine is set to Buddies Only so you guys can come visit me!

I didn't realize it was closing time -- guess I had good timing with the end of my game.  :lolg: Which game are you talking about, Belle?
Title: Re: Elf Island first voyage issues
Post by: Adventuredaz on November 04, 2008, 07:59 PM
From what I saw anonomously as an alternate title, the game is well contructed and designed.  It did have a bit of lag which overwelmed my computer a half dozen times.  Registrations had a few small issues.  Characters appear preaty good.  It was nice to see some many people I knew in the game. I am not sure the games are still what I would be looking for but several I like. The method of opening and closing needs a little work.  I will hopefully be able to get my character in in short order but for now I will remain anonomous I guess.

You go to the rain forest room. Look for the sparkles when you mouse over. I did good on that game. wait... is that the bejeweled type game. Now that I think about it I think it is.

Okay, I think we got our games mixed up.. very easy to do, so many in such a short time.  The game in the Rain Forest is called Fruit Works, and it is the "Zuma" style game.  Three or more of a kind, but moving on a track, not a stationary board.

I had an amazing time today in Elf Island, and even ran into a few NoBSers as well. Yay Yay yay. The game was really fun, and I totally loved it. The only sad part was the hours of operation. Though I look exactly like a Fluffy Blue Alien in the game, and that makes me ever so happy.....................Fee  :)

There are two games in the Rainforest--the fruit one and the tiki one.  I believe the Tiki one was in the first room you end up in, on the left.  I did really well on that one--the only reason my score wasn't higher is because I wanted to quit and go explore some more.

Days, I believe Belle (and I) are asking where you found the Bejeweled game. ;)

Sorry went to bed after I posted I found it I believe in the marsh or it could be rainforest though I do think it was marsh. It was like bejewelled. You need to get at least 2 in arrow more the merrier. Though it might be closer to another game. But the goal is not to lef the wall build up. Guess kinda like cash cow on webkinz.  Easy coins there.
Title: Re: Elf Island first voyage issues
Post by: littlebelle on November 05, 2008, 06:59 AM
Ok my first impression was itis a cute game. The lag is a very big issue for me. So time will tell if this is an ongoing issue. I tend to think it is not and they are testing servers while letting in a few hundred at a time.

My favorite spot is the beach :). The music is cute.

Reminds me of webkinz alot. Just a much more graphically enhanced.

Little confused on how to move furniture. Finding people was fairly easy. And having friends with names already in my buddies was amwesome.

Finding a game I could play was very important. And I found one. The others I was just getting 2 coins a game :)

I found 47 places yesterday. Anyone know how many there are?

I think the homes are very cute and a nice touch they added a pirate ship home.

I play these games mostly for the friends I have. Nice place to meet up and just hang.

Was so nice to see hula and lily again. Boy have I missed them.

Lily show off her dancing skills which were pretty darn good.

I am pretty neutral since this is beta and not much happening yet.

Have to give it a chance.

I have enjoyed VFK mich more this month since they step up the items graphics ect.

But as with VFK the lag is what stops me from enjoying the game thus I have to wait and see how the lag works out on this game.

Guess I am torn on how many games I can play and wizards is what hubby plays. VFK is where my extended oversees family friends play. But Elf is where most of my friends will play.

So no matter what I will make room for elf too.

Oh and when I went to use the elf guide it froze on my screen and would not close had to restart. Many times people could see me but I could not see me.
The message bottle showed one friend but would not open. So if you are the one person who wanted to be my friend I will try again tomorrow.
 :rofl1:oops that did not sound right yes I have more than one buddy.

Oh and it took me awhile to figure out how to unlock my house.

I find the Tiki game to be more like Harvest Hustle in Pixie Hollow than Bejeweled, as you just click on matching groups of two or more to remove them from the board.

I am kind of with you on this...what specific issue were you having? 
I know it was necessary for most of us to change our password (even if it was to what you thought it was) in order to get registered.

I simply could not get in due to lack of a verification e-mail.  Be sure you do not have spam going directly to trash like I did, I have temporarily changed it to keep it a week (filling quickly now) this will allow you to catch it.  I am unsure how to get them to resend a verification at the moment but I am hitting the support email (which may not be monitored) and keep trying the help e-mail which is still bouncing back to me as invalid.

Someone may have your answer if you tell us what you experienced
Title: Re: Elf Island first voyage issues
Post by: SleepingBeth on November 05, 2008, 11:11 AM
First was what everyone else went through with the password and verification email. I finally got through all that and clicked verify and when it went to the screen to play now (I think that is what it said, the little guy holding the green sign), it never would sign in. It tried to take me back through the registration. Then I guess time was up and they closed. sigh..

I will give you an update, I contacted them at: support@elfisland.com and they responded relativly quickly to my issue and sent me the links to get in so I should be good if I ever get out of work.  So if you are having issues with getting in I recommend contacting them.
