1. Had never role-played before.
2. Made an ugly feline, which I later flew around in the Plains on.
3. Made a husky pup and curled up in the South Pole.
4. I was very illiterate and it took me a few days - weeks to become semi-literate.
5. Took me around a month to try literate RP'ing.
6. Took me 1 - 2 months to figure out how to download maps/markings without asking for help.
(Friends of mine was getting stuff like this, took me this long to hear about it.)
7. Didn't create my first wolf until after 2 or 3 weeks.
8. Got addicted to FeralHeart right away. ;p

~ Adding ~

9. Like Sura, I didn't know how to get back up from the waterfall in Ficho.
I created a new character until I found the 'go home'.
10. Took me 2 - 3 months to first find Ascension Island.
11. Clicked the chat box for emotes and actions.

lol some of those are very funny Paige & Ress. OK so here goes.
When I first joined I ...:

- used to think that the only way back to Bonfire once you had jumped over the waterfall was to create a new character
- accidentally started with a profile named Korugoha because I thought the username was also the character name -face paw- and so I ran around for a while as Korugoha Korugoha. Quite frustrating.
- didn't know how to make my character curl up and lie down so I used to use the box with the options in it and press everything the long way.
- didn't know how to walk I only ran
- joined so many random rps
- spent most of my time in the Cape & Bonfire
- was a powerplayer >:3 because people were bullying me whenever I played as a pup & it was fun ;)
- sucked at jumping the stone structures in Fluorite and always got stuck inside them.
- got lost in Fluorite all the time.
-could never reach the Temple of Dreams because i used to fall through all the platforms.
- thought I'd fall off and die if I went to the edges of the maps

Umm, ok, here is the list of nubby stoof.

- I never knew that 'z' and 'x' were shot cuts for actions.
- I didn't know what role play was.
- I thought 'The platform' was a map but it with the character creator stand... (Took me 7 hours to look for it...)
- I thought a warrior cat rp was some sort of olden day rp you did with cats.
- Never knew 'R' and 'F' were made as rise and fall for the wings.

Can't think of any more but yeah.

Post by: LiesUnderOath on January 04, 2013, 12:54:50 am
1. Was deafened by the login screen music.
2. Spent an hour making my first character, a simple white lioness.
3. Appeared in Bonfire, in the middle of a sparklewolf danceline.
4. Used my mouse buttons to run around, instead of WSAD.
5. Followed random people around, not saying a word.
6. Didn't understand what 'roleplaying' was until a week had passed.
7. Took almost a year to figure out how to use the print-screen glitches.
8. Made a duplicate of my character every time one stopped working.
9. Took a day or two to learn what emotes (like :3, :I, xP, and others) stood for.
Title: Re: When I first joined I.....
Post by: WhiteLightHeart on January 04, 2013, 01:27:01 am
1.) I made a black/sky blue/white lioness, and just kind of ran around Bonfire. At this time I thought FH was boring and consisted of ONLY Bonfire, and stopped playing for about two days before I found the first of many portals to the other public maps. xD

2.) I was endlessly amused at the fact that I could lay my character on its side and put on a "Dead" face, and would do so for considerable amounts of time. Juuust laying there giggling at my dead-looking lion.

3.) My second character was a white wolf (my fursona from WolfQuest, NO SHAME), and for about a week I would turn off the chatbox and run around Fluorite, not talking to anyone.

4.) I couldn't get out of Fluorite for a week.

5.) It took me a month to transfer from semi-literate to literate RP.

6.) When I tried to make my first wolf pack, I went to one of those obscure, out-of-the-way dens in Fluorite, and tried to advertise... In local chat.

7.) I tried to get all of my real-life friends to join FeralHeart and play along with me! (Only three chose to, none of them are active. xD)

8.) It took me months to even attempt making a map, or downloading one.

9.) I was absolutely dazzled by that big crystal and its reflection over the water in Ficho (still am).

10.) I was terrified to ask questions about glitched, and how on earth everyone was getting up into the ceilings... Then I got over it. <8D

I can't really think of any others at the moment...
But still, those were some good times, noobishness aside. <3

Post by: Shadowcloud on January 04, 2013, 02:26:26 am
1) Didn't know how to speak for the first few days.

2) Couldn't figure out how to move for around two hours.

3) Didn't know that I was RPing when I was (Still sometimes I don't xD)

4) Couldn't figure out how to leave Bonfire.

5) Didn't know how to download maps.

6) Wondered how people got up into walls (Finally figured it out!)

7) Didn't know how to jump, or switch controls.

I can't think of anything else right now, but I had plenty of newbie moments :]

@Allegra: A black/Sky blue/White lioness? Reminds me of my main fursona. http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g344/Wolfandcat456/Fullref.png (http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g344/Wolfandcat456/Fullref.png)

1. I made a grey and white wolf with blue eyes named Selina, after Selina Gomez.

2. I didn't know how to go out of Bonfire, so I spent ages in that map.

3. I was very illiterate and I godmodded, saying "no miss" and stuff.

4. I joined "woohoo" parties when they were popular.

5. I made a wolf named Mr. Raep and obviously raped everyone laying down. I deleted that character immediately after an hour of my actions.

6. I advertised RP's on the Bridge of Flourite and barely anyone joined, so I never advertised my own RP's anymore to this day.

7. I matebegged all the time, only resulting in people cussing and swearing at me in whisper.

8. I made neon and unrealistic lions, like a white one with leopard markings and a pink mane.

9. I used the fluffy mane because I didn't know how to scroll down for more options. Same goes with other stuff.

10. I made emo/dark looking lions all the time.

11. I moved around using the mouse and used the panels below to use actions and emotes.

This was all before I made my fursona and learned common sense. XP

Post by: Smilodoncat on January 04, 2013, 09:31:49 pm
I was surprisingly literate and made well-devolved non-sparkletard characters when I first joined. However it took me more than a month to figure out the controls.

1. Thought there was a north pole along with the south pole and spent hours looking for it
2. After I found out there was no North Pole, I thought there was only 4 maps, not including lonely cave (south pole, bonfire, ficho, and flourite)
3. Got lost in the south pole and had to add wings to my character cause I didn't know how to climb the hills
4. Didn't use WSAD (Still don't...I just prefer the mouse)
5. Didn't know how to sprint
6. Didn't know how to use mini-map, always got lost cause of it
7. (Probably the biggest fail.) Thought there was hunting like WolfQuest and keep looking around for prey...

Title: Re: When I first joined I.....
Post by: Tearless on January 06, 2013, 11:41:29 pm
Oh goodness... let's see..

1. Had no knowledge of the X and Z keys, so when I finally discovered them it felt like a wonderous epiphany. And then when I realized you could even use shift to curl up...

2. Discovered presets before I discovered that no one else can see them, so I went running around for about an hour on a default feline feeling all proud of myself.

3. I had never really RPed before, and had no idea that there's a certain type of mate RPer you want to avoid... I agreed to RP with this she-wolf, even going so far as to make a new character because I had no wolves and she insisted I had to be a wolf (should've seen it coming by then). We RPed for several increasingly uncomfortable minutes (there was a lot of 'you're dazzled by her eyes now' 'uh, okay'), and nearly had puppies before I politely extricated myself from the situation, feeling confused and slightly violated. XD

4. I was a rather early joiner, and when I first spawned in Bonfire it was utterly deserted. Not a soul. So I played with emotes and actions and thought they were the best thing since Freddy Mercury until I found the portal. Then I went bolting into the newfound wilderness, with 'A Whole New World' being sung by angels in the background.

5. I thought the Report button worked.

6. It took me months to be able to go into F3 mode, because those keys don't work on Macbooks and I didn't know you could change them.

7. I am socially awkward by nature, so I had this propensity for just lurking by people and hoping they would talk to me. It took me a while to make friends. XD

Back @Lion/WolfQueen, that character is so pretty! ^.^ But no, this character's pelt was pitch black, with white and sky blue markings. The design was close, though!

And I agree with Tearless.. Oh, that report button. xD Noobishness aside, I think everyone was pretty enchanted with FH when we first joined. c;

1. Was a noob.
2. Didn't know how to make maps.
3. Didn't know that the number keys were emotes.
4. Didn't understand how to use groups.
5. Had trouble finding other maps(I could only find South Pole... xD)
6. HAD NO IDEA WHAT GATES WERE.

Title: Re: When I first joined I.....
Post by: Hallucination on January 07, 2013, 01:44:13 am
1). Made a pure black wolf and went to South Pole.
2). First characters I ever saw was a "Simba" and a white wolf named "Lindeh", both were literate and very in character.
3). 2 led me to believe that every one around me were NPCs and I was the only player and I was scared as heck of everyone.
4). Going to Bonfire Island for the first time, it was when Bonfire was practically loaded with those 'sex slave' characters, and I became so scared of Fh that I quit for at least a week.
5). After awhile, I began to roleplay noobishly, however with good grammar.
6). Semi-literacy kicked in, and I roleplayed in first person, but in a different language, because I saw others doing so.
7). I made my first new character, a white wolf named Snow Arrow, and roleplayed like that for the longest time until I encountered literacy in the pits of Bonfire.
8 ). I picked up the literacy habit, but yet CONTINUED to think everyone was fake characters, until I slowly began to observe how the interactions were all different...All human.
9). I created my first lion, Serenity, started out as a cub, played with my first friend on Fh frequently, until I slowly lost contact with them do to different timezones.
10). I created my first map, began to figure out all the commands, and really started to get in to the game, actually having fun.
11). I basicly made a new account (this one) to cover up all my illiteracy in the pass, because I felt embarrassed knowing how stupid I was before I actually figured out this game.

 1 - Only thought I could walk by clicking the ground.
2 - Always power-played and god-modded.
3 - Took me over 20 minutes to create a character.
4 - Took me over 4 months to figure out there was an Accession Island.
5 - Only knew there was a Bonfire Island.
6 - Constantly got lost in Fluorite Plains.
7 - Completely exited FH by using the red 'x' in the top corner until I figured I could use 'esc' and quit. Took me about 5 months. /shot
8 - Joined into role-plays without asking. x.x
9 - Once I saw a video with someone with maps in Cape, I said "Too bad there aren't maps in that map anymore. DX" until I figured out that you download them to your drives. Took me a few hours but someone was being sweet and was guiding me through the whole process. :3

1. I spoke with grammar 'n' stuff OOC, but the first map I rped in was bonfire island, so I saw how others rped and was like "Oh..." and rped like *walks around* XD I'd rped literately before, on both FooPets (before it kicked us out ._.) and a few literate rp sites... but yeah :P

2. I constantly got lost in fluorite, that's mainly why I hung out in bonfire a lot. lol.

3. I didn't know how to sit up after you were laying down for a while, instead just pressing the crouch button and pressing Z until I was in the position I wanted XD thenIdiscoveredtheXkeyandwaslike 8o... fascinating...

4. I didn't even know what maps were for the first few days ._.' It took hours for me to figure out how to download my first map XD

5. I thought that FH+ had some special character maker 'cause when I first joined I always was on a puppy character but the other pups looked smaller than me so I downloaded FH+ (with difficulty and some help XD) and realized that it didn't have anything new on the character creator so I was confused. Then a random pup sat right next to me in the adoption center (really close o.e) and I saw that we were the same size. My reaction irl in a nutshell: 8D!! YEE -spazz-

6. The first character I ever made was this little pink pup called Dusty. o3o

7. I thought the adoption center was a really great thing xD I'd spend most of my time there 'cause no-one wanted a little ugly pink thing as a pup xP
Title: Re: When I first joined I.....
Post by: catsanddogsandbirds on January 09, 2013, 12:29:53 am
Well, when I first joined, I had two major derps:

 I read super slow.

 I didn't know what maps were.

 For example, when I first entered, I had immediately typed in the chat box: "Is there any place else other than" *figures out what this place is called* "Bonfire Island?"

 Probably around ten people answered me, but I didn't see it due to the quickly rising chat of Bonfire. So i just sat there, asking over and over, until somebody made a character called "TURN AND PORTAL" I was like o3o and the guy whispered me and screamed in all caps: "TURN AROUND AND YOU'LL SEE A BLACK CIRCLE. WALK INTO IT." I was like "O:< Gaw, fine, you jerk." XD


 Now, once I was in Flourite, people kept saying ,"MAPLESS GROUP" etc etc and "GROUP WITH A MAP" etc etc. So, I glanced up at my mini-map (XDD) and said to myself, "Did I download a patch or something that gave me a map...?" and "IS the map wrong and when you join a group it becomes right?" and "Holy crap what's a map?" So I asked, and people were like, "NOOBY! UR SO DUMB. U PROBABLY CAN'T EVEN DOWNLOAD MAPS. HURR HURR." I was just like "O_O" until I looked on the forums and finally figured it out...XD

When I first joined, I...
...Was surprisingly literate, thanks to years of Pokemon RolePlaying in my pocket, but I rarely RolePlayed (See nr.5 and 6);
...I spent a long time figuring out how to move (I tried to move with the arrow keys, not being much of a gamer back then);
...Afterwards I just moved by clicking the ground a week;
...It took me a few months to find out about Ascension Island, Sky's Rim, Atlantis and Last Cave.
... Typed super slow and weird because of my laggy, old, small laptop (I have a new one now). I typed Ssomethhhiing llike tThiss;
...Also moved very slow and I usually couldn't go straight to the point, since the camera was laggy;
...Thought there was a North Pole (With something like Santa Paws) as well;
...Didn't know how to lay or use emotes  for a few days;
...Didn't know about a lot of shortcuts, like the emote keys, the Z and X for laying and the whole row from C to / for all the menu tabs (Chat, Mini-Map, Emotes);
...Had no idea how to crouch or walk;
...After I learned about crouching and walking I only used the Actions tab.

I think I had more but I can't remember right now.

Edit: Aha! I found more!
...First day I thought that the portals were black holes and they would delete my character if I entered it;
...First day I thought that if you come into the water you would drown;
...Didn't know how to fix the character's head, so when I tried making a screenshot I was like ">: o Stop being shy! I wanna see your pretty face! ;A;

Post by: Lady_Alizarin on January 10, 2013, 12:00:19 am
When I first joined....

1. Made my first character, Alizarin the fox.... and unintensionally made her really tiny (according to what other users said about her. She was so small they thought she was a baby fox).
2. It took me 5 minutes to learn how to walk/run properly.
3. Had to ask everyone around me which buttons to press to do certain things.
4. When I finally got the hang of walking and running, I explored as many maps I could find.
5. Avoided big crowds, because someone told me that many people on this game don't like fox characters and will often times "Try to eat/kill/destroy/ them"
6. Ran around Flourite Plains for the longest time because I got lost.
7. Didn't know how to make my characters fly in the sky.
8. Had to run for my life to escape many map-claimers in the Plains. XD
9. Didn't find Atlantis and the Last Cave until several months after I joined
10. Last but not least... I didn't make any friends until my 3rd day of being on the game.

So there you have it

Back on my old account (which I didn't go on the forums at all) I..

1. My first character was a dark grey canine with purple swirl markings and called Crescentfur.
2. Ran around as a pup with the saddest emote I could find to get people to adopt me.
3. My first lion was a cub named Waffle.
4. I had no literacy.
5. I thought the yellow friend dots on the maps were portals and I spent ten minutes trying to get up a mountain ._.

When I first joined I ...

~ Didn't know the 'z' and 'x' shortcuts.

~ Didn't know how to use the chat box.

~ Didn't know what all of the icons meant in the bottom corner.

~ Had no idea how to walk, I used the mouse for like 2 weeks.

~ Didn't know how to dash.

~ Got annoyed by the general chat and couldn't figure out how to turn it off.

~ Was not literate whatsoever.

~ Didn't know about the Printscreen glitches.

~ Had no idea that the portals would take you to another map, I used to think that if you went in one your character would get deleted.

~ Didn't travel outside of Bonfire until after about 3-4 weeks.

~ Didn't learn how to be semi-literate until after about a month and a half.

~ Didn't learn how to be very literate until after about 3-4 months.

~ Had no clue that you could use the numbers for shortcuts to emotes.

~ Once I finally did travel into the portals, had no idea how to get back up from the Ficho Tunnel waterfall. I'd create a new character.

~ Didn't know how to make an epic looking character, first character was a female canine that was completely black with bright purple swirl markings, had everything set to default, had the default eye color, and had bright green wings.

~ Had no idea what these meant: :P, xD, c:, ;-;, o-o, o.o, ^-^, @-@, etc.

~ Hung around the Mate Center in Bonfire looking for a mate.

~ Made a puppy, once I had finally figured out that you could change the default settings, and went around randomly following people, whether they wanted me or not. xD

-- That's all I can think of right now.--

-My first character was a white canine with dark red diamond-markings|
-I didn't know that Stone Bridge was. . well, what it is|
-The waterfall at Ficho was 'The Point of no return'|
-I had a very difficult time learning to type 'properly', and I took a whole seven month to adapt myself to my surroundings ouo|
-Wings were non-existant at the time, so I had a heck of a time getting to the top of Temple|
-I used to think the moderators were computers, and sometimes I left out random comments about them|
-I did /not/ have a hard time at roleplaying, but I most defiantly was not brilliant at it.|
-When I first logged onto the forums, I wondered why it said I was a "Newb", despite the fact I had been playing for three months|
-Anybody popular was someone I rebelled against|
-I spent my days in General, rambling about nonsense|
-I thought 'mapped' meant that users has a specialy colour-coded map to replace the one in your corner made by Kovu.|
-I had no idea who the moderators or administrators were|
-If someone ever killed my character, I kind of started crying in real life because I thought that meant I had to delete the character (My apathetic almost-ten-year-old mind c:)|
-A perticuliar Gamzee character was seen as "an immature douche that types in a stupid way" ono. (I'mSorryClown-Worshipper!)|
-Now for something I'm proud of~ I was capable of joining a roleplay and learning the basic 'illiterate' (as alot of us call it) style the first day.
-Another not-so-embarassing-thing. I made several friends on my first day, many in which I've long forgotten of, rather unfourtantly.
-Presets were special markings made by special users that everyone could see in-game|
-Thought that 'Movie' could be used for making short stories with other users.|

Couldn't find anything on the forum.

When I moved accidently (Because I used W, S, D, A) with the mouse I freaked out.

Couldn't click the right icons.

Didn't think I could fly, so I got not wings.

Didn't know how to slap people.

Thought Bonfire was normal. o-o'

5. thought bonfire island was the only map until i found ficho
6. when i first ran into fluorite i thought it was the same map as bonfire island so i spent an hour swimming through the ocean like areas looking for bonfire island after about 2 days i asked a random stranger for directions and they taught me how to click the go home button
7. didn't know that lots of people on fh knew about warrior cats so once when i was in Fluorite i saw some warrior cats running around so i got excited because i thought they would be the only people on fh to know what warrior cats was so i chased them around begging to join thier clan but they wouldn't let me because i was a lion cub and i wouldn't change because i was afraid i wouldn't be able to find them again
8. didn't know how to log out properly so whenever i got off i clicked the x to close it

 Erm...you CAN move with the arrow keys.

I am pretty sure the arrow keys control the camera. You actually move with the WASD keys.

Hmm*goes to play FH* Oh yea /shot.

 But I think I turn with the arrow keys and actually run/walk with the WASD keys, so I got a little confuzzled. XD

When I first joined I....

1. I was a bad RPer since I came here from WolfQuest.

2. Would make a charrie and go straight to Temple of dreams, I was scared of the big maps and exploring. I tried to explore the first time I got the game but it kept crashing. You can see the temple portal from almost anywhere in flourite so I always ran to it.

3. I finally got brave enough to explore I got very, very lost in Flourite plains for hours.

4. I thought Cape was a new map for a while because I had never seen that little island for weeks.

5. Was taught by my friend how to download maps, I could then download everything fine. Fast learner with some things 8D

6. I only made canines, still only make canine characters.

7. It took me hours to find the courage to talk to people.

8. Didn't know there where other chats and I thought you could change your text colour. This ended up me replying to a whisper in local saying "How did you make your text blue?"

9. I never knew the game had Mods until it was to late for a friend of mine.

10. I wanted to play every second of every day.

and you can edit your controls, I do use the arrow keys to move and AWSD to move my head, because I changed it.

There's only a few things a can point out, considering that I'm still pretty much a newbie and probably know a lot less about FH than older members do. . . x3

- I remember that on my first day of playing FH I tried to chat in local with someone chatting in general. I thought the member's text was only green because they were staff. Derp.

- Made a grey wolf with yellow {the yellow that
's the default color for markings when making a character} swirls on it's body, which, despite what I thought at the time, did not look appealing.

- Spent most of my time in the South Pole trying to get someone to roleplay with me by crawling past random groups of people and saying things like 'Corda {The name of my first character mentioned above} crawled past the large group, trying her best to avoid them. She silently cursed her yellow markings that made her so easy to spot.' It worked occasionally.

? Couldn't figure out how to move for a while.

Post by: Dark Greyodon on January 14, 2013, 08:20:08 am
1. Read the manual on the forum and wrote down how to jump/run/turn/sit on a piece of paper which I kept in my lap.
2. Made my old somewhat unoriginal primary color white/secondary color black wolf OC Rain and started out in Lonely Cave and then went directly to the South Pole, where I slipped down the ice and figured out I had to jump up the slopes.
3. Talked to another newcomer for one minute and waited ten minutes after he logged out for his response.
4. Thought people could type in green but needed to be older members.
5. Thought "general" was an actual person who was constantly getting killed (like he was in a big war RP or something).
6. Knew how to fly but had no idea how to fly upwards--just jumped off high hills and went from there.
7. Got very annoyed with territorial sparkledogs (I still do but I tolerate sparkles better now and actually get annoyed with people saying you HAVE to be realistic OR ELSE).
8. Didn't understand that a lot of FH is homophobic and tried to find a female mate.
9. Joined my first pack, which I randomly got kicked out of (even though I was active and got along with everyone, including the alpha, and made very well sure not to powerplay).
10. Was deathly afraid of mods.
11. Wondered why people in movies were always still.
12. Thought anyone who cussed would get banned on the spot.
13. Thought Fluorite never ended (not literally but you get the picture).
14. Thought there was a secret hidden map inside of Last Cave, which I spent hours exploring.
15. Got lost in Last Cave and Atlantis repeatedly.

4.Hardly learned all command keys.

6.First joined an Rp was like "what must i do?"I thought when RP started we were supposed to teleport in another realm (yeah sounds stupid I know)
7.After  some months,I discovered Ascension Island by randomly running in lonely cave.
8.Failed badly in reaching the top of ascension.

It's all flooding back to me now! Ok here is some more.
Went in south pole and got a 'pup' our relationship was basicly running around,talking in whisper, and never RPing.I became friends with that person and their siblings. I now think that they were newbies and all the same person because they knew even less then me at times and had the same basic  personality, and all stoped playing all the sudden (( I still have them as friends even though I have not seen them for close to six months)) I miss 'them' 'they' were good 'friends' and joined with me into an warrior rp ((my first rp that I was surprisingly able to be litterate in)) as a  begining apprentice ((just started training)) With a pretty epic past.and ended up being depuy (( the rp died off soon but I think at its prime it was the best rp I have ever been in. We had alot of fun. Long live Hiddenclan~)) in. I met my curent Feralheart best friend from that rp so I was not heart broken too long.
Once before my 'friends' quit I had been so addicted to fralheart I pulled a 48hour long playing streek.I ended up having somewhat of a mental break down. Heres what I remember:I was chatting with my friend and her new found mate and all the sudden I blacked out for who knows how long (( I was home alone for this as I was most of it)) nd when I woke up the computer screen looked all messed up and dissorted and I ((out of my mind in a way)) attempted to chat. Whats happining to me? but i'm sure I just typed 'uhhefhbl enFNE;FHUAFNAOI' ((I don't think my friend was on for this because she never brought it up)) Or not at all maybe just spazed around. Then I blacked out again and woke up hours im sure later. I felt like I was going to die and keep shouting," Im going to die I feal like Im going to die kill me now kill me now" tryed to walk out to eat but was shaking and fell soon so I crawled over and was too weak to try to stand up or lift myself up so I got some chips from the bottom shelf and ate them ((Im sure half of what I tryed to eat ended up on the floor)) then I tyed to crawl back and blacked out. I woke up and screamed, "WERE AM I?!" and paniced for about 3 minuets before I 'forgot' about it and crawed back to bed for awile just stairing at a wall mummbling stuff before my dad came home. He called for me to hug him and somehow I managed to and was suddenly sleepy and just walked off into my room attempting to go to sleep. He called for me a few times trying to gt me to see what I think was his ne moterbike and I never awnseed untell finaly I got up and screamed,"NO I WANT SLEEP SLEEEEEEEEP!" and was bawling. He let me sleep and in the morning I was fine.

I noticed alot of you were doing the list style so for a challange try to do at-least one if not all of your When I first joined I......s' like this if you can :) I wil pick a random person who does all ((at least 4 t)) of them like this and they will have a map request. ^^ Have fun. Sorry if you could care less I just wanted to spice things up.

I kinda remember my newbie days almost two years ago x)

-My first character was named after myself (Zombeh) and was a variation of purple colors.
-She was really tiny and I kept getting confused and frustrated that people asked me if I was a pup.
-Had no idea there were maps beyond Bonfire and stayed there a good few days.
-Had an obsession with dancelines and used random outbursts or just lying on the ground dead to attract attention
-Was saddened by the lack of literates on the game (at the time remember I only knew about  Bonfire)
-Spent a few hours trying to find my way through Ficho while I stopped to bother/talk to people.
-Took me a whole 20 minutes to find and join a roleplay (that was iliterate)
-Only joined mapless roleplays for the first week before giving maps a try (I think the first mapped one I joined was by Ouka)
-Joined almost any roleplay that was mapped I could
-Spent a few days figuring out how to make maps
-Tried to play with presets but gave up only to get the hang of it months later x3

1. I fiddled with the controls for about the first few times I came on. I was so used to the standard WolfQuest controls that I could not handle them, and I was too lazy to change the settings.
2. I only knew where Bonfire Island and Ficho Tunnel; I had no idea what Fluorite Plains or the Temple of Dreams were.
3. I did not know what the abbreviation 'RP' stood for or what it meant.
4. I had no idea how to change my chat settings to 'General' or 'Party'.
5. I narcissistically stared at my character that was lying down in Ficho Tunnel for about the first few days and practically did nothing else.

- Had absolutely no idea how to move a mesh around in object maker, nor how to load them

- Didn't know what 'Godmod' meant and thought it was something magical.

- Didn't know 'General' was a chat and took it as military-related for 3 days ever since I saw the post "*Gives cake to General*" and took it as an offering

- Made a bright pink wolf with pale pink markings and white underfur (now that I think about it, she looked like the Pepto Bismol wolf .-.).

- Thought Sky's Rim, Ascension Island and South Pole were custom maps.

- Didn't know there even were other maps until about 8 days later.

- Didn't know that pitch-white animals meant you couldn't see their markings unless you had them.

- Never knew how to sit up with X until a week later.

- Got lost in the plains every day.

- Thought that the Y river was a secret part of the plains.

- Always fell off the Temple of Dreams and gave up from rage.

- Once made a wolf that was told looked like it fell in paint.

- Never knew there were mane options until a day later.

- Barely talked in the first group I ever joined.

- Didn't know the trick to the ceiling glitch in Ficho.

It took me at least a day or two to figure out where the heck the Ficho portal was in Bonfire XD

Once I made my way through there, I spent my time tearing around Fluorite like a bawss, obviously getting lost. As I recall, I sat in a cave with two other random wolves, and one said "No it's ok Raxoremys, you can sit there." and I thanked them. Looking back on it, I think they were probably being passive-aggressive den claiming ho-bags, but still.

After that, I found my way to the Cape and sat on the TEC rock. It was there that I met my first FH friend, SkyeLyte :D I also joined TEC, but I was confused by all the site rules and everything, so eventually I ended up deleting that character.


From then on, it's pretty dull, just your regular FH user life of joining random groups, trolling den claimers and slowly becoming literate.

- Took about 3 or 5 mins to figure out how to walk
- Made a jet black character with neon pink markings and eyes
- Took a day to figure out that you could go back to Bonfire Island by pressing the ''Go Home'' button
- Saw a group of canines talking and thought they were a pack
- Tried to go up the waterfall in Ficho to Bonfire Island but failed
- Thought that people who talked in green text were admins
- Used to be a power player (I don't power play anymore)
- Got lost in Fluorite Plains while roleplaying with my group and couldn't find the people in my group anywhere


 

All of these happened to me the first time I joined, except I knew the people talking in general weren't admins and I learned how to get up the waterfall in Ficho quickly.
