Your Welcome @Elsa_Overhurt!
Okay, That's a nice name!

[Wynn_Mereflask]

I'm new and this forum helped me a lot, thank you!!

YOU'RE READY, MY GRASSHOPPER!!!

Whatever does this mean?

[Scarlett_Darkhall]

Greetings, @Miss_W, and welcome to the Aetherlight! I'm so glad this fourm helped you. If you have any more questions about the game or fourms, I or anyone else would be happy to help you.

Honestly, I have have no idea what that means!
You'll find as you start exploring fourms more that @Xonos_Darkgrate1 is a very interesting character...

I hope to see you sometime in Aethesia!
S.D.🥀

It's more of a joke... It sounded familiar but I couldn't put my foot on it. I think it was some spin of some quote from some movie... (and a bunch more somes)

[Emily_Purplebottle]

@Miss_W, I'm glad you can come on the forums, they are helpful and fun, enjoy

My awesome aunt calls me that. I think it's supposed to mean "apprentice". I'm pretty sure she got it from Red. A movie none of us should watch.

[Xonos_Darkgrate1]

Hey, @Miss_W! Since I was on I thought I'd give you a greeting. Welcome to the forums, it's a great place here. With even greater people! I hope this topic helps you get started, and it's great that we have a new contributor to our Aetherlight community! If you ever need help or advice, I'd be happy to give some. (well, maybe not as much advice as opinion). But anyways, just keep it up with being friendly and helpful, and you'll be as awesome as everyone else in no time!

As if you need to be more awesome.

[Emily_Purplebottle]

Also @Miss_W, if you need help just ask us...I have a question: what level are you on?

[Wynn_Mereflask]

Thank you Scarlett and Emily! I had one question that either of you can answer: I'm interested in the role-play thing that Xonos mentioned in one of the posts for newbies. He said something like there's a lot of them and that you should wait before joining... Any advice on getting started and what role-play is?
Also, how do you mention people in your posts like you did Scarlett with Xonos'?
Thank you girls so much!

[Wynn_Mereflask]

This probably won't respond until later because my posts have to pend. I'm hoping someone posts my other one. Emily, I am on level 2
And thanks Xonos! It's so awesome to see all these nice people on here greet me like this!

[Iliara_Mustardtop]

Hi, I'm Iliara Mustardtop!
The thing about the role-play goes like this:
A few people started creating role-plays, fun stories about what they were doing in Aetherlight. See

The Adventures of Jacoby Elderfun

Or

Xonos Darkgrate: CRIMINAL!

Then more people started doing it! And it exploded! What @Xonos_Darkgrate1 is saying I think is that you want to plan out a little bit how you intend to make your story. It's nice to have at least a basic plan so you don't get discouraged or aimless

Some people have created stories in which you can ask to be one of the characters. There is a special role-play section, so those topics should be easier to find. Try Xonos Darkgrate's Aetherlight:Origins, The Elderfun Chronicles by @Jacoby_Elderfun1, or The Arbitrary Antics of Ariella Newheart for example (@Ariella_Newheart).
In order to reference people so that they will be notified, type @ and then the name of the person, with an underscore () between the first and last name. Hope this helps!!:hearteyes:

[Wynn_Mereflask]

Ah, I think I've got it now... Thank you so much for helping me @Iliara_Mustardtop! (it worked!)

[Kalyan_Oversong]

Oh... this helps my last posted question... thanks!

[Etlo_Maxlance]

Yay new people Welcome @Kalyan_Oversong and if there are any more people that is new WELCOME I'm really bad with names

Thank you @Xonos_Darkgrate1!
This helps!

Sorry to bring up a topic whose last post was over a year ago, buuut... @Hanna_Brassheart, @Jacoby_Elderfun1, @Iliara_Mustardtop... I think this topic should be pinned. What do you think?

(I think there could be a few edits as far as brushing up on some new things, new role plays and possibly other versions (e.g. RATT, SOAOTG/F2, TAYWII, @moderators, etc.)

[Iliara_Mustardtop]

It could be pinned, but like you said a lot of the information is outdated, so...we could maybe collaborate on creating a new welcome topic to pin, perhaps using posts from other similar topics? I’m thinking there are at least a few along these same lines.
It’s a great idea, I’d like to hear the others’ opinions!

[Xonos_Darkgrate1]

I've been thinking of doing a reboot on the series of threads I made (which included this). If you guys want, I could do them soon. Or hey, maybe someone else could if they wanted to. What do you think? @Iliara_Mustardtop

[Iliara_Mustardtop]

That would be totally cool, if you have time! Or if anyone else wants to. The forums certainly can be confusing but I’m hoping we can clear things up a little.
