I gather that Esperantujo is kind of remote. According to some on the Cantr forums, our insulo was visited once by some Swedish players years ago, but has otherwise had little to no contact with other language groups. My Esperanto character is in a town with about three structures, including the mud hut of someone who has declared himself the local "potenculo". There doesn't seem to be much going on.
My English guy on the other hand is in what looks like a well-ordered town with more than a dozen stone buildings (including a church and a jail), ruled by a local baron who is subject to a distant monarch. There are several active people to interact with here-- hopefully they won't kill me for looting the clothes off someone who died of starvation haha.
I figured out fishing is not the best idea since you can't eat the fish raw. I guess step one is to farm stuff that CAN be eaten raw before you die of starvation.

ceigered:I've got a bad feeling that in the Esperantuja vilaĝo they'd probably congratulate you for stealing the starved man's clothes rather than kill youHaha. Actually the English-language town's Baron let me keep the stolen clothes if I "don't mind where they came from". It's just cheap fur/hide anyway... but he sure looks a lot more impressive than my naked Esperantisto character now.
Also, my English-speaker found evidence in-game of past contact between the Esperanto island and a large continent that seems to be home to many English and Polish speakers.

Really I feel a little badly for the other players who have to put up with my esperanto characters. I have a lot of trouble holding up my end of the conversation, so my characters must seem rude and brusque.
Heh. I've also started jumbling my French and Esperanto.

laoreilly:All right, I surrender. What's a cinomuso?It's a prairie dog, presumably from the Latin Cynomys. (Vikipedio to the rescue.) This game is great for learning such vital Esperanto vocabulary words as cinomuso, ŝalupo, rikiŝo, pioĉo, sabro, kaj ŝafgrifo.

I've seen several people jumble bits of their native language with Esperanto when playing, creating odd accidental neologisms. I've also seen people whose second language is English do that when playing English characters. It's not a big deal; I usually can figure out what they mean. As long as you don't run around kidnapping people like that one guy, it's all good.

Though I did get a kick out of Spanish speaking participants in the Esperanto area.

Greyshades:Though I did get a kick out of Spanish speaking participants in the Esperanto area.So far I've run into Polish, Swedish, Spanish, and English speaking characters. How the heck did an English-speaker find their way to the Esperanto island? No clue-- unfortunately my character could not understand the kuriozajn blekojn he used for a language so I couldn't ask his story.
