Heartopia is at its best when it’s shared. Behind the fishing, cooking, and pet racing sits a warm, active community — both in-game and across official channels. This guide walks through every way to connect: the in-game Town Portal, official Discord and social accounts, community-run events, and the unwritten etiquette that keeps island life friendly.

The Town Portal is the beating heart of Heartopia’s live community. It sits in the central plaza, marked by a glowing archway, and unlocks once you complete the tutorial and reach D.G. Guild Level 2.

Feature	What It Does
Visit Board	Browse open islands and teleport to visit other players
Friend Roster	See who’s online, favorite friends, and jump to their island
Bulletin Wall	Post short messages, trade requests, and event shout-outs
Featured Islands	Rotating spotlight on beautifully decorated player homes
Group Finder	Match with players for co-op activities and events

The Town Portal is your fastest route into multiplayer sessions. For the full mechanics of co-op play, visiting, and shared activities, see our Multiplayer Guide and Advanced Multiplayer Guide.

How to Host a Community Event

Pick a date and time that works across time zones
Post on the Bulletin Wall in-game
Share in Discord’s event channels
Set clear rules (what’s allowed on your island)
Have prizes ready — even small gifts encourage participation
Take screenshots and share them on social media

Participating in community events is also one of the more enjoyable ways to earn extra rewards and rare items — a nice complement to the routines in our Money Making Guide.

A friendly community stays friendly because people follow a few unwritten rules. Whether you’re visiting islands or hosting, keep these in mind:

When Visiting Someone’s Island

Ask before harvesting crops, shaking trees, or picking up items — nothing is “free loot.”
Stay on paths and avoid trampling decorated gardens.
Use the compliment and gift emotes to thank a generous host.
Leave when asked, and don’t linger AFK on someone’s plot.
Don’t place furniture or decorations without permission.
Close gates behind you if the host requests it.

When Hosting

Post clear rules on your Bulletin Wall (e.g., “Fruit free to take, please don’t dig”).
Set gates or fences around anything you don’t want touched.
Reward respectful visitors with a small gift or open access to spare resources.
Be patient with new players who may not know etiquette yet.
Use the kick function only for rule-breakers, not minor mistakes.

In Chat and Trades

Confirm trade terms before teleporting.
Never share account credentials — the team will never ask for them.
Report harassment or scams via Settings → Report or the Discord mod team.
Be kind to new players asking questions.
Avoid spamming trade requests in general chat.

Gift-Giving Guidelines

Situation	Appropriate Gift
First visit	Small flower or fruit
Regular friend	Crafted item or rare material
Best friend	Premium furniture or outfit
Thank you for hosting	Resource stack or cooked meal
Event participation	Event tokens or cosmetics
