Welcome!
Can I call you Sia? >.>
I kinda like that.
If not, I'll go with Chen. ^^
And would you happen to be on Ernya as well?
I'm pretty sure there's an Alyssia there...

Anyway, I'm Soleil, or Sol, and I'm new as well.
Joined on the 6th, I believe. ^^
I'm loving it here so far, so I hope you will too!

By the way, this thread was VERY helpful to me, and you can also request to be adopted!
Which has also been helpful to me. ^^

[Maeve]

Welcome to Midorea!

I hope you will have lots of fun with us, and if you need help with anything, just ask!

[Alyssia]

@Soleil Why yes you can call me Sia, its rather funny that you'd pick that name for me. There's an Aulstrialan artist that I've taken a liking to by that same name~ And to answer your question I do have an Ernya account....haven't been there in what feels like ages though....my shop went under and I didn't have much else to connect me to the place so I'm here now.

@ecco, is that always with a lower case "e" you wouldn't happen to be on Chloria by the same name would you? If so...its nice to see you again~ I know I need an avi....but I feel like I suck at making nice outfits so I'll wait a bit more. I think I'll save up some more before I try to find some nice clothes. lol thanks for noticing though~

@Maeve I see you around loads, its so nice to see a mod like everywhere posting and the like <3 luffs on you~

Thanks to each of you for stopping by and welcoming me to this site. I think that I'll like it here*nods*

Wayy off the wall here but could we get a nodding emote by chance?

[Mellonin]

Welcome to the site! I'm very new, as well Just joined yesterday. It seems like a rather ... slow ... site. Is the focus more on the community or on the game?

[Soleil]

@Sia - Oh, hehe, well Sia is very pretty I think.
Yayy, glad I can call you that then. ^^

And yep, I've seen you around Ernya then.
I knew there was an Alyssia there.
I'm still active on there, but perhaps because I've just been able to settle in and make a home out of it.
Once you have friends, it's easier to stay somewhere. ^^
This site is very lovely though.
I'm sure you can find a place here. -nodnod-

[Maeve]

Bah, I was a normal member first, so I just keep doing what I did before becoming a mod XP

And yes, Midorea is a small community, the forums are somewhat slow. See, we don't have that much active users, and thus when some of them can't be on for various reasons (like restarting school/work after the holidays break), well, the site easily becomes slow. Then people who just joined/returned find it too slow and run away to other sites, which doesn't help... <.<
But meh, the members who are still around are really nice and friendly people. And there's always the battle system to spend time while you wait for somebody to answer your posts.

[ecco]

hehe yep that is me on Chloria XD; i thought the avatars were pretty so i thought i'd join. shame about the whole deal with the admin, could be a really nice site if he put some work into it lol. but anyways lets not discuss that here haha. how are you finding midorea? :3

[Alyssia]

@Soleil, do you? I think she's got a wonderful voice. Even though the video for Clap Your Hands is reallly old it always makes me smile. I'm really fond of the way it was done.

I'm glad you've got a home there, I go back from time to time to look over things, so if I go forum hopping I'll look out for you there as well. What do you like to do around here? Knowing may help me find you there as well as here. Friends do always help you stay rooted in a place...but I don't know I can't say that I've ever really faired well with online friend making....a rather perplexing thing...I seem to do alright in real life...down right disappointing though cause when I'm isolated during the week I go online more~ Hopefully it will get better though!

@Mellonin, nice to meet you~ From what I here this place is rather slow when life starts happening again~ So things like work, school and the like seem to pull members away, I guess you could call the rest of them floaters, they come and go as they like...especially when its slow like now. But do come back from time to time I'd like for you to come and join the chat~

@Maeve, So I guess you could say that you got a promotion? What's it like being a Moderator anyway? I mean do you end out spending more time online now that you're a Mod? I've yet to explore the battle system, it looks fun...but I opted to look over the guide before constructing my character....I'm looking forward to playing with it though~

@ecco, I though the same thing...potential...but enough about that....So I heard you adopted me~ I don't know what questions I'll ask, but I know I wanted someone to help with train in the battle system head to head, feel free to let me know when your up for it~

[Maeve]

Yup, I got a promotion of some sort. I don't know if it can't really be called that way though. XP
I tend to spend a lot of time online anyway, so being a moderator doesn't change anything. It mostly depends of what real life throws my way. The only real difference is that now, when/if I see someone breaking the rules, I can act immediately, instead of having to warn a mod about it. That and I get to help with making events and stuff, which is nice too, enables me to give back to the community and all.


Ah yes, I guess that's a good idea. It could be somewhat traumatizing to just jump into the battle and get defeated right from the beginning by some crazy monsters.

[ecco]

i did indeed, so feel free to PM me about anything you need help with or questions etc
hmm as for battling... you mean like PVP? i don't think you'd really benefit from it... cos one player is always going to get knocked out so it's always going to cost one of you a lot of money reviving and fully healing... i'm still happy to help in any other way with the battle system, but i'd prefer not to PVP XD

[Alyssia]

@Maeva, do you make it a point to chat it up with all the newcomers? It kind of adds a really nice touch I think....makes me feel a little more welcome. I mean its normal to join a site and get the run or the mill welcomes and what not like that, but we've actually struck up a pretty nice flowing conversation and I'm greatful to you for that.

I've finally started to piddle with the Battle system, still learning but its fun. I can't wait to actually start Battling other users...but that's a ways away. Oh I guess I've a better understanding of what it means to be a Mod then~ I'm glad that you like what you do and giving back to the community as well. Oh you get to do events....sound spiffy, I don't know if I'd be able to pull of making a nice idea for something like that though, I don't think I'm creative like that...or rather it takes me forever to feel like I've got an idea that's what I feel worthy. Oh before I forget....this was the first site that I've been apart of that you couldn't see the avatars if you yourself didn't have one...for the longest time I didn't know what you all looked like...and I dun like looking poor....so I'm working really hard to save for some nice clothes...the only issue is color scheme...got on? I'd like to use magenta...but what to go with it?

@ecco :P so basically PVP is out, man and it sounded so promising too, oh well...I think I already messaged you with a few things...not really questions just chatter...I hope its not a bother. I can't seem to recall what I said though so if its about PVP disregard it cause it was before I checked back in here. I guess all that's left is getting to know you~ I'll look forward to that~

[ecco]

haha i replied to the PM before i saw this post XD; so feel free to ignore the reply to the PVP thing haha! but of course it's no bother, hehe.


i must also say that when i was new here the mods as well as the regulars made me feel very welcome altho it was a little harder to get involved cos it was during the last winter solstice, and it got so hectic in the forum! XD i couldn't keep up with everyone, haha!

[Maeve]

Glad it made you feel welcomed! ^^

Well, I generally answer posts directed to me, unless I forgot... Stupid easily distracted brain...
Uh, anyway, I usually welcome all new members to the site, just to... well, welcome them, so that they know they can contact me if they need something, and give them useful links and all. So if their answer is something else than "thank you" and other things that don't really give me a chance to answer, I try to keep the conversation going.

Ugh, sorry if that doesn't make much sense, I just woke up and my brain's still sleepy...

Hm, anyway, how do you find the site so far?
