Honestly, Having played in the hollow for the last few days as both a fairy and a sparrowman, I don't think it is as bad as everyone things or fears. I tend to stick to quiet servers and have not seen the kind of stuff you do on Hidden Ridge.

That said, I would say those with kids, especially small ones, need to be a little more vigilant, Stick to the quiet servers, and monitor your kids activities in the hollow a little more (especially immediately after the create a fairy/sparrowman where you can't choose the server). After you create a fairy/sparrowman assuming you are in a busy server (or heaven forbid, you actually end up in Hidden Ridge) Immediately move to another (and hopefully Quiet) server.

Yeah it is a little more work, but things aren't as bleak as people think. Though I still think the sparrowmen are generic and boring, I don't see a problem with their inclusion.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, agree. I do not want to deny my kids the pleasure of playing "fairies" and we, both they and I, enjoy receiving badges, and doing quests. I love that my 7 yr old son now has something else in common with his little sister, lol. BTW, she has a girl pirate on POTC, lol. I will just have to be watching more closely.

I was flying around Havendish Square today. I saw a sparrow sitting on the bench with a fairy on his lap . I will not repeat the words he was saying, but it was not for little kids. I did report him for rude behavior and lanuage. I was flying around a quite server like I always do. Guess we have to watch out no matter where we are.

Having played for a few days with the Sparrowmen, I'll have to say that it's really no better than when they weren't there. The fairies who misbehave will continue to do so, whether they are playing as girls or as boys. Right now there seems to be many sparrow men right now with people "experimenting" with them and seeing what kind of adventures are different. In time I think this will change and the sparrow men will become more incorporated into the Pixie Hollow lifestyle.

I do hope now, with the coming of the Sparrowmen, that some of the famous fairies such as Terence get to enter the Hollow too.

Yes, some of the fairies and sparrowmen misbehave in whatever server they are. So we have to be careful everywhere and not only Hidden Ridge.

Yes, I'm sure many fairies would LOVE to meet Terence in the game...personally, I'm hoping we get a visit from Bobble!

The very same day that we created a Sparrowman, girl fairies, began to chat in a certain manner with my son's Sparrowman! Well, he can read and the girl fairy began to ask certain questions...my son asked me what that meant. I was shocked! I know, you all probably think I am a prude, but I didn't not like it at all. There is just too much weird socializing. I have had to tell a whole bunch of fairies that even though, on the screen, yes, it was a BOY FAIRY, in real life, it is indeed a GIRL! Me, mommy, not a real teenage boy, lol. What is ya'lls opinion?
I have encountered all sorts of rude and aggressive fairies when I play my sparrowman. I am a female in real life and I do have 2 other fairy characters, but I wanted to make them a brother. I have gotten all sorts of questions ranging from "Are you a girl in real life? Why would you ever make a male avatar?" "Look, this boy, its really a girl playing him."





I don't see what the big deal is, its just a game...yet people see my male avatar and harass me about it. Its getting really annoying.

I am so sorry. That is really crummy! Try not to let it get to you and try reporting the fairies when they hassle you.
You could also try turning off whisper while flying as a boy, or try flying in quieter meadows. People are gonna be jerks and immature so it's best just to try and avoid it as best you can.

We have a sparrow man but we haven't had any issues yet. Probably because we don't play during high traffic times. I'm hoping in a few weeks everyone will chill out and the novelty will wear off.

This is my wish as well! I am looking forward to the day where Fairies and Sparrow Men can fly harmoniously in the Hollow. I think it will get better over the next month. However, when summer break hits it might get bad again for a while. We will just have to ride it out.

The only major issue I am finding now is that the "harassing, nasty players" are no longer contained to one area of the Hollow. It appears that they have become a little more bold and brazen now with the addition of Sparrow Men. You can now have a negative experience in a nice, quiet server as well. It was easy to just avoid that one area -- problem solved. Well, that is NOT the case now. And that is just very sad!

Change is hard. But we can, and will, adapt. (Eventually! )

And, it might seem more wide spread because of the new 'recommended servers' when you first fly into the hollow. I can tell this is an attempt to dilute the terribleness at Hidden Ridge, but it also creates problems for innocent bystander fairies who frequent the ideal and quiet servers that are now easier for naughty lil' fairies and sparrowmen to go for.

I personally avoid Hidden Ridge and ANY crowded or Ideal loaded server. I'm a great one for server hopping. Though I have been on those others in the past just to see why they are so "popular". Then again when i recently returned and was quickly reminded why they are and rapidly disgusted by it, as not much in the way has changed there as some, i say SOME, not all, of individuals behaviors have not changed.

It is in no way appropiate behavior anywhere on or offline!

When i come to play a game i'm there to play a game not see that kind of trash. Just last night i was sitting and visiting with some friends, new girls that i know off the game. That i brought in new to the game and was showing them around too. When a group came in and for no reason whatsoever said to us "please leave NOW!"... Now that isn't right, they cannot claim rooms or servers... when did that start? Did i miss a memo?

And yes i do agree parents need to be more watchful on there fae underlings, But it also takes a village. And is that not the whole point of the game? To watch out for each other and play it together and have fun and not have to be chased out?

It's disappointing when i tell my friends its a great game, and some come and show a 'tude like that!
