Elf Island Is Opening!

Pre-Registered Users Catch the First Boats to Elf Island Beta!

For those who have pre-registered with Elf Island, sound the alarms and alert your friends: beginning this Tuesday, the first boat sets sail for Elf Island!

The anticipation is building as the elves prepare for your arrival within the next two weeks. Many have been working around the clock to ensure you have the best experience as a new elf on our island.

As one of the first to inhabit Elf Island, you will notice that we have five island rules:

1. Have fun! You’ve earned bragging rights being the 1st to inhabit Elf Island.
2. Share your thoughts and ideas. You are making Elf Island the best virtual world.
3. Think creatively! You are entering a fantastical world with great possibilities.
4. Remain patient and forgiving in this early stage of Elf Island.
5. Explore and listen! Elf Island is filled with hidden rooms, mini-games, special features and sounds.

Tuesday, November 4th from 4pm ET – 10pm ET our first boat will begin boarding pre-registered elves.
** Boarding rights are based on the date you requested a user name and password. **

Because of the overwhelming amount of kids that pre-registered, we will have one boat a day setting sail for Elf Island. Did you make the first boat? Don’t worry if you don’t see your user name on this list. We will have a new list of user names for the second boat on Wednesday.

Click here to see if you made the first boat.

Note - If you try to board one of our boats before the date you pre-registered, the elves will politely ask you to get back in line and patiently wait. Rest assured, your time will come. We will post new user names and continue these times (4pm ET – 10pm ET) daily until we launch to the public.

We expect this process to happen within a two-week timeframe. Soon thereafter, we will open Elf Island and allow the world to come experience our own fantastical world.

Please spread the word — Elf Island is coming!



and.....

Ahoy, and congratulations to those who were granted a ticket to our first boat headed for Elf Island!


November 4th, 2008

For those of you who didn’t find your user name on the first boat, don’t worry, we have your user name and plan to announce the different boat launches and the dates the boats leave throughout the next two weeks.
Here are the features you should expect to see and explore:
o Elves running, jumping, flying, sitting and rolling.
o Fun interactive environments - like a volcano, a marsh, and more.
o Hidden passageways that lead to mini-games.
o Thousands of different elf clothes and personalization combos.
o Inhabit a cool home, like a Pirate Ship or a Music Box.
o Invite other elves to visit your personalized home.
o Read our multimedia Newspaper – The Tide.
o Spot some of our roaming hybrid animals.
o Buy, trade and gift items purchased in the Marketplace.
o Chat with elves through our chat-safe inclusive dictionary.
o Establish your elf buddies and meet them throughout the Island.
o Share your emotions through tiki-head emoticons.

What does Elf Island Closed Beta mean?

Elf Island is at the final stage where all the fantastic virtual features are actively being tested for technical bugs. If you notice that something is not working or you receive an error message while playing within Elf Island, we ask that you report the issue by clicking on our Moderator button which is, the “M,” located at the top right of every screen. We thank you in advance for remaining patient and forgiving. Remember, you are making Elf Island the best virtual world for kids around the world.

Setting Expectations

First and foremost, you and your child’s online safety is our #1 priority. Elf Island’s safety features are in place. That means that our chat is in working order and our moderators are in place.


As more and more boats dock Elf Island, we plan to add more and more fun features! This means more mini-games, more items to buy, sell or trade, secret passageways to explore, our house-building GoodQuest,™ and lots of other fun goodies.
Islanders, thanks for your continued support and enthusiasm! We are committed to creating a fun place for kids that enables them to give back, by influencing communities and environments, all through the fun and entertaining world of Elf Island. Get excited, we’re one step closer to sharing Elf Island with the world.
