Hello! I saw someone on Recolor mention this site and thought the avatars looked really cute, so I gave it a try. But so far there is not much to buy. The Halloween items look cute, too bad I missed them! The pages load really slow for me, too. Is this an issue of living in Europe or do they load slow for everyone? :o

Welcome to Windlyn! Hope you have a good time here! Ahh yea you just missed it. ;v; A few users here may have extras have extras to sell though! As for the slow loading issue, I used to have it but it's gone now. I'm not sure what causes it. You might want to ask Diana, Lime or Galled as well as check the bugs forum.

Thanks! :3
Oh, okay! I'm gonna wait a bit to see if it gets better then.
May I ask another question? Is posting the only way to earn feathers on here? And are there places where I can earn them fast?

Welcome to WWindlyn

We just upgraded some network hardware yesterday and changed ip addresses so it is still propagating to dns servers. That may be causing the issues you're seeing.Typically it takes 48 hours for a full refresh' but it can be as long as 72 hours on less aggressive dns servers. Give it some more time and let me know if it doesn't get better and we'll see what we can do.

Posting is the primary way to earn feathers, but you earn them playing games in the games section (which is still a WIP w/update coming--we're still only in alpha). The quickest way to get feathers and items is to participate in the events and user game/givaway threads. Hope you have fun here!

Welcome to Windlyn--!
I wonder if people who aren't from America feel weird when they visit Recolor. Recolour. Why do you hate the letter 'u' so much?!

Also, if you draw, you could always make an art shop :9 Another way to earn feathers~ Posting's still the best though, imo.

@gallad Ah oki, thanks for the info! I'll go check out those games then!

Hello, Akuyi!
Welcome to Windlyn!

Looks like galled answered your inquiry on the lag.

I'm glad you like the avatars. There's quite a few items out, and more to come! You may have missed the halloween event, but you've arrived at the perfect time before the next event. I'd suggest saving up your feathers.

Right now, posting is the easiest way to earn feathers. Some forums give out more feathers than others, but for a majority of non-spam forums you get enough to buy one item for every 1-2 posts. As you get to know the community and keep posting, I'm sure you'll find it too easy. haha. But do get to know them! We have a very friendly community here who absolutely adore meeting new people.
Other than that, you can play one of the games in the arcade, but you currently only earn feathers for beating the high scores. I'm working on building some windlyn-exclusive games and revamping the arcade to give feathers based on your score, rather than beating the high score.

I hope that answers your questions! If you have any more, please feel free to PM a moderator (a user with a blue username) or me, or post in the help/support forum.

Hello and welcome to Windlyn

Where in Europe do you live?

murmurlade
I actually never had problems with that since I mainly learned English on American games and avatar websites, haha! No British English for me. And sadly, I am not especially good at drawing. So posting it is I guess.

Diana
Thanks for the help! As soon as I have some feathers again, I'll save them all up, roger! xD

I live in Germany! :D

Welcome to Windlyn, Akuyi!

Drop into any of my threads, you can win feathers (or if you want a past item instead let me know) in my pillow talk thread or the daily roll in my "The sky is falling" thread and you can earn feathers in Monkeygirl's 5 dice roll thread. Maro has a giveaway of past items for newbies in her thread. Check under yard sale for old items people are selling. I am hoping they bring back a few of last year's Christmas items but we will see.

Unless stated, everyone is great about just letting you pop into their threads and say hello. We look forward to getting to know you!

[Akuyi]

Lemon Cheesecake
Oooh thank you! That sounds cool!
I will venture on a journey to find all those threads and check them out!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Glad you are finding your way around... hope you keep popping back on to say hello!

[Akuyi]

Yeah I am just stalking the feather threads for now. And I'm pretty busy with uni during the week, so I can't drop in as much then.

So many unread threads.
