Im a straight up Elvenar player but my Partner plays Forge of Empires. I know the mechanics are quite similar with the whole building your City thing however I understand that Forge is centred around pillaging and fighting with other Cities? whereas of course Elvenar is more Family Friendly. When we visit a City it's to give love, and neighbourly help!

I think the best person to answer this though would be our very own @Silmaril... she's a veteran of both! :D

Ohhhh what a question!!!!!
I have played our fabulous Forge of Empires for 7.5 years now and it is what attracted me to becoming a moderator in the first place as I was on the Forge team for a few years.
However I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with other moderators and met our very own muf-muf for a healthy debate on why Elvenar was more than worth the try, had great strategies to navigate as well as being very beautiful.
I sighed and agreed to try the game......and shall we say I have never looked back!
I absolutely adore Elvenar, I love the buildings, the awesome animations that are at times hilarious...did you know we have over 7000 unique buildings here? I like the puzzle of buildings changing size and orientation over the chapters and most of all I love the way that the players interact with each other, to help everyone get the very best out of the game.
Forge is more about war, with Guilds battling each other across the whole game - we can choose to not do this in Elvenar, instead making the negotiating choice and being peaceful, we never get plundered and find our hard earned items ''stolen'' and we can take our own sweet time in the game, without the pressure to push forward.
I hope this helps, yes I enjoy both and play both daily, but Elvenar is my greatest love of the two, hence you find me here :)

Well allow me to be the first on here to welcome you to the Elvenar Family :)

I wouldn't worry too much about not being talkative in your Fellowship, there are plenty of players exactly the same as you. It helps that you're part of a Fellowship, but chatting is not a priority.

If you ever have a question that you don't want to type into the Fellowship Chat then please bring it here to the Forum. We will help you along the way with any advice you need!!

Kind Regards

Herodite.

Welcome to the game, @TkimP . Hopefully you will have a great time enjoying the game. Here on the Forum is also a section 'Did you know' where we are trying to explain the basics to new players.
