Managing Settings

How to manage settings in Magoia.

At the top right of your game window, you'll find four small symbols.

It includes the logout button, the messages button, the settings button, and the mute button.

### Logout Button

When you are finished playing for the day, use the power button to ensure your game resets correctly. If you normally save the windows in your browser and do not logout, you may come back to a screen that features the Magioa island but has no clickable features. Refreshing the page won't help. If you opened the game but can't click anything, go to the launch page (Magoia.com) or the logout page (Magoia.com/logout).

### Envelope

The envelope will help you find your messages. When you open it, you'll be taken to your inbox. Unread messages will be marked with a closed envelope with an exclamation mark. When you open a message, you have the option to click on the player's name in the "from" line to open that player's profile. Note that announcements from Magoia staff will appear in the announcements inbox, the horn at the bottom of the messages menu. Magoia official does not have a profile or "sent from" name, so there is no "from" box.

Click the parchment and quill to compose a message. You can send a message to anyone in the game as long as you know exactly how their name is spelled. If you don't want to spell the player's name, you can click the envelope icon in their profile picture on your friends menu or on their profile page to open a new message.

If you'd like to send a message to all your friends at the same time, you must click the circular mail button in the friends menu.

You can manage messages as you would any other email box with forward and delete buttons.

When you have unread messages from anyone, a hummingbird will be visible near the moons on your island. To get this bird to go away, you'll need to open all messages or click "read all." Once the bird is gone, you must access messages from the envelope in the top of your screen instead if you want to read them.

### Settings Menu

The gears will open the settings menu.

You'll start at the gear tab, where you can find modifiable tasks. Use the arrows at the bottom of the menu to change display and sound settings in game or to find the password change setting.

The main settings of your Magoia accountClick on the arrows at the bottom of the settings menu to open these possibilitiesRemember to save each time you check a box or the change will not take affectIf you don't want to see the friends list, uncheck the box (and save). Your friends list will still be there, but it will be collapsedIf you win an island restoration from the seasonal gold ticket, you can toggle the improvements from the last page of the settings menu

On the mask tab, you'll find profile information, including your name, level, registration information (your Magoia birthday), score, friend invite link, holiday mode settings, name-change settings, and sitting menu.

#### Holiday Mode

If you are going to be away from the game for more than three days, you may want to set the game to vacation or holiday mode. Click the mask in the settings menu. There is a check box that reads "Activate holiday-mode." If you click it, you'll immediately be logged out of the game, and your account will be set to holiday mode. While you are away, the game will still be mostly the same. Plants will mature, and brewery items will finish. However, tribesmen will not become impatient, and after three days, friends will be alerted that you are away: your avatar will have a yellow light in their friend menus. To deactivate holiday mode, just login again normally.

#### Sitting

If you are going to be away for an extended time, perhaps you'll want another player to sit your account. The sitting player will have access to your account for a set number of days and can perform tasks like planting/harvesting, brewing, and sharing friendship clovers. To activate Sitting mode, enter the name of the player who will be sitting your account, then type the dates you want them to have access to your account. Finally, enter your password to confirm that this is what you want. You can give another player access to your account for up to 30 days total per calendar year.

You will not be able to play the game on your account while another player is sitting it for you; however, you can cancel anytime from the settings menu by simply clicking the X button. If you wish to login once the sit-in has started, you can do so by canceling your vacation upon entering your username and password as normal. You will not get the available days back if you cancel partway through. The sit-in will last from beginning of game day (midnight US Central Time) until end of game day. If you want the sit-in to last 24 hours, select the same date for both the "from" and the "until."

If another player has selected you to sit in for them, you will receive a notification with instructions. During your friend's scheduled time away, you'll login to your own account as usual. To care for your friend's account, go to the settings menu and the mask, then click the green arrows at the bottom until you get to the last page. Your friend's name will be written in yellow: this is a clickable link that will transfer you to their account. You can do most tasks the friend would do, including all basic tasks as well as participating in events and making purchases. You cannot post messages in your friend's name, however, and naturally, you can't do anything that would require having the friend's password (like form a new clan or delete the account).

While you are tending to your friend's account, a blue ticket will appear in the top left corner of your screen to remind you that you are not playing on your own account. To return to your account, click your own name in the ticket, and you'll immediately go back to your island. You can check in on your friend's account as many times as you wish until the friend cancels the sit-in or it expires.

#### Other Settings

The notebook gives you the option to save private information only accessible in this notebook.

The bucket is the account delete button. You must enter your password to completely obliterate your account. Once you have done so, the account cannot be recovered.

At the very bottom of the menu is a link to "Chronik." This keeps a record of every action you take in the game, including spending resources, clicking on hidden objects, claiming prizes, and sharing clovers, among other things. This simply records it for admin or record-keeping purposes, but it does not go back to infinity, usually only recording the last 100-ish actions.

### Musical Note

 Finally, there is the musical note, which you can use to instantly mute all sound from the game. From the settings menu, you will be able to decide if you want just music or just sound effects, but this button exists in case you need to mute all sounds immediately. Background music was added to the game in June 2016.

### Fullscreen Mode

Click the icon in the very top right to toggle fullscreen mode. You can click it again to go back to windowed mode, or you can press esc on your computer keyboard.

## Questions

Q. Can I play Magoia on my phone?

A. Magoia is a browser-based game and does not currently have a mobile app. You can play on your phone, but you will have to login through a browser. The game does not run smoothly this way, but it is possible. It works better on iPads and tablets, but it's best on computer.

Q. What if I have tried fixing a concern I have with the game, but it is still a problem?

A. You can always send a help ticket to support to ask questions, make suggestions, or report problems.
