• SHARE YOUR STORY •
Entries for raffle drawing will close Friday, Oct 4 at 10PM ET
- TCF is 10! And with that in mind, we wanted to hear your memories... Some things that you might share are how you came to find the forums, how long was it after you started playing Terraria, what did you initially come here for and what made you stay, etc.
- Your story doesn't have to include all of the above, they are just examples of the type of things you can share.
- Entries will close Friday, Oct 4 at 10PM ET
- One post per member. No placeholder posts. You can share as much as you want, but please keep it to one post. You may edit your post anytime.
- Every member that posts their memories will automatically be entered into a raffle
- One raffle entry per qualifying member.
- Raffle winner will be chosen by random draw and will win a prize of:
- Over the years, we've wanted to add to our bank of NPC emotes that are available on the forum, and have heard from many members that they'd like that as well - more than just having the Guide
, Dryad
, Merchant
, Nurse
, Pirate
, and Steampunker
.
- Now is the time to submit any emotes that you may have made in the past, or want to make now.
- Not all emotes will be used, but we will consider all the sprites given. They must fit the current style, and there won't be a guarantee they will be added (we are going to be very selective).
- Current emotes are between 18 and 23 pixels, just to give you a ballpark frame.
- Ideally, it would be wonderful if there was a smiling emote of every town NPC.
- If other Terraria-related emotes are presented, those will also be considered.
- There won't be a deadline for these. At a certain point the momentum will slow though, so take advantage while the hype train is focused on these.
NEW EMOTES HAVE BEEN ADDED
Thanks to @Russ Guss Doodles and @CerealSunny








































• HIDDEN SPOILER •
That's right. Somewhere on the forums is an exclusive new spoiler.
Who is the first that can find it?
UPDATE: @Russ Guss Doodles was the first to find it. Can others find it?
UPDATE: @Orchamut and @Kel! have now found it.
UPDATE: Lots of members have now found the spoiler!
In case you still want to try to find it...
Hint #1: Loki has always been so welcoming, even from the very beginning.
Hint #2: The spoiler is in an old thread from 2014
Hint #3: The hidden spoiler is in this thread: Welcome to Terraria Community Forums
And, if you just want to see the spoiler without looking for it (or are done with looking for it)....


We hope that you'll join us in celebrating TCF's 10th anniversary and enter one of the fun mini-events above, or even all of them! There are plenty of opportunities to reminisce and connect. Over the past decade, we’ve shared incredible moments together, and we couldn’t have done it without your support. As we mark this special occasion, we want to honor the journey we've taken and the community that has made it all possible.
