I joined Feral Heart about a year ago, and I am still usually the youngest within my friend circle, but I still feel that I have matured tremendously. From learning the correct way to role play, to making new friends.
When I first started to play Feral Heart, I joined many wolf packs and made some new acquaintances along the way. But as time passed I grew less close to the friends I made as they became inactive. I began to roam the game aimlessly and felt my self starting to become more inactive as well. I took a break from the game for about a month, and decided I needed to join an active group. I remember I used to just lay around fluorite plains watching advertising movies for groups deciding which one I should join, but none of them seemed to fit my requirements at the time. That was when I decided to start my own pack named "Wolf Eclipse." Now that I look back at how I organized the pack, I laugh and think "oh my god, look at how far you've came from that point." I made many friends from the pack, and I am still in touch with a few members ever since that pack has been disbanded.
In the beginning I didn't believe that there was any bad sides of the community, and I believed that everyone was cheerful and bubbly. But as I have become more outgoing and social to other players, I see that some generalizations I have made could be wrong.
In conlclusion, I am saying that I have grown so much in the time that I have played feral heart, and made many friends on the way.
