hey guys! it's been almost three years since i first joined the game, and wow i feel uncomfortable just saying that! i had joined back in 2011, around august or september with the username of cara867 (i joined the game not the forum; i never used it in 'the early days').
on my first day out, i learned a LOT on my own. i'm proud of myself, because i made so many friends back then and i just.. love all of them, even though we never talk anymore.
i made mistakes and such, like befriending the wrong people, (one of which just canceled a preset commission because i didn't do one thing right.. ugh), but i am seriously surprised at how much i've changed since i joined..
how about you guys? o:
this goes here.. right?
-
Oh yeah, major changes right here lol
When I first saw FH I knew it was amazing, I experimented with things that my other friend, who I had showed it to and gotten it before me, had never tried! Like I looked up how to fly, found out what equip meant.
And the RPing was so derpy XP I typed in like one sentence with the "-" at the front and ends of them it was awful. Now I'm much more experienced.
I made loads of friends, left for a while, came back, most were gone ;-; but I caught with the ones that had stayed and now I'm friends with them again!
As for the forums, well I started using the forums about two years ago, around a year after I had the game.
Dang, I have come a long way...wonder how other people will be... O.o...
Good topic! ^^ really makes you think to way back then!

I think have been here since early 2012.
It's a bit sad thinking of my newb days actually.
No one wanted to help me so I kinda had to work out how to use the game myself. I got there in the end (I think).
I made a few friends a few days later and they were all derpy newbs like me xD
The first users I recall being my friends are pridewolf, katerfi, world art and Dve74.
I actually can't believe I remember that... -applauds self-
AND. I still have my first character :D

I remember way back when I first joined the FeralHeart community. Lookin' back, that seemed like a lifetime ago compared to how far I've come and how much I've learned. I'm rather pleased with myself.
I joined the FeralHeart community May 15, 2011 on a different account (I was only active in-game at the time. I never bothered to be a part of the forums). My first friends were the users: Skywave, SilverShadowWolf, and Tiger Tooth. Even today, I'm still well in contact with Tig and Sky. I remember when Skywave was kind enough to show me around the game and all the public maps. I even remember when I got lost in Fluorite Plains and started to panic thinkin' I'd never find my way out.
At the time, I didn't know about the Staff team either. I knew there were Admins and Moderators, though I didn't know who exactly they were. I found out later in the summer of 2012. When it came to role-play, I was that little newb who role-played one liners with action marks (even power-played from time to time believe it or not). This too has changed in the summer of 2012 as I met many floofs who aided me and I learned quite a lot from them. If it wasn't for them, I might not have gotten this far. They've informed me about items, mass markings, private maps, the authority of FeralHeart, the FeralHeart forums, role-play, etc. Needless to say, it was an interestin' summer.
Long story made short, I was yer classic newcomer who knew little to nothin' other than FeralHeart was a virtual 3D MMORPG game that allowed one to run around as any canine or feline breed. Then when summer of 2012 rolled around, I learned quite a lot in such a short time that further pipped my interest towards the game and its community. Then, in the summer of 2013, I decided to get involved with the forums.
Hard to believe it's already been nearly 3 years since I was first introduced to FeralHeart. Kinda amazin', really. I'm curious as to how other's were when they first joined and their memorable experiences.

The day I joined FeralHeart was in June 7th of 2013. I was fortunate enough to have loyal friends by my side when I first joined (they were from WolfQuest and we all went to meet each other in South Pole to help each other out). I have seen myself change a lot over the 11 months I've been playing the game. Some changes are sleeping habits, personality, and many, many inside jokes with the people I have met. Long story short, I do not regret playing the game and it has defiantly changed my life (in a good way) forever.

I joined Feralheart on the 18th of May, 2011. I stopped playing after an hour or so considering the arrow keys only moved the camera, I thought the only way to move was by clicking the mouse xD I returned maybe a week later to try playing the game again and started using the W, A, S, D keys which I found a lot easier.
Feralheart was so new to me and at that time everything about the game had me entertained. I loved exploring and creating characters. When I joined my first roleplay group that's where I met my first two Feralheart friends. We were the only three in the group and since no one else joined we just hanged out in Fluorite. I learned so many new features to the game, I felt so proud to have made friends and I couldn't wait to see them the next time I logged in.
The roleplay group grew and I eventually felt distant between one of the two friends. Shinestar was the one who I still felt was still a friend. Unfortunately over the years both of them stopped logging on and one disappeared from my friends list </3
I can't remember how I started visiting the forum on a regular basis. I think at some point I needed help myself, made a thread and posted on other threads. "i talkd lik dis a lot bak then" so I cringe a bit whenever I see any of my old posts xD I started answering threads in the help section, made some tutorials and I enjoyed doing so, it's why I'm still here today. It's been 3 years and Feralheart is still special to me, even if I'm not seen in-game as much as I was I'm still here on the forum.

I too joined in (May) 2011 but I only played the game. (Different account, of course.)
I only started peeking at the forums a few months ago, then I made a new account. (This one.)
My first friends were SAKRA, candycane, BlueSpray and...wait, that's it. xD
It changed my life in a good way and I am now a lot more helpful and caring than I was before, yay.
All these people that needed help changed me into a better girl, thank you!
-
Oh, the memories...
I joined Feral-Heart in 2010..wait no...4 years..maybe 3 years and 1/2...
I was such a newb back then, I didn't even know the basic controls so I got confused a lot. I was extremely excited to join. Back then, South Pole was my favourite place and now, Bonfire is.
My first pack I joined was a Husky pack, I was a pink husky .-. (I can't believe I made a pink husky)
My first character was a lion, with one of them fluffy manes... good times.
-
I joined July 22, 2011 I believe. It' been 3 years ;O;. I was soooo newby back then, it's so embarrassing that I can't even say what the first thing I said was. My first character was a white lion with aqua underfur named Iceheart. I dun like lions anymore though xD. But yeah, FH changed EVERYTHING.
-
thank you for your thoughts, guys! o: it's awesome to see what you guys think about being here for so long.
-
I know, right?
I joined in... 2012, I think? With the username TheFeral10, which I still use, rarely though. I also didn't join the forums at first, I used to be very noobish just like the most of us here, but fascinated by the game, and I also learned everything all alone, which I'm proud of. I remember climbing my way to the top of the literacy level - I used to RP like... -she sat down-. And I did create a lot of drama, power-playing and all the newbie stuff. Familiar, eh?
I was very stubborn, I put a lot of effort to become literate and I succeeded. Although, I have to admit, I do make some grammar mistakes. Hehe.
I built many friendships, but sadly I remember none of them. Now I have new best friends on the game, but I'll always miss my old noobish /I doubt they still are/ fellows.
I sometimes facepalm myself when I remember of the old days. But it also brings me smiles, it was so much carefree fun back in the beginning. Not saying it isn't fun now, but it's kind of different, you know.
-
Ah yeah.
I remember when i first joined, back in 2012. I made just about all the mistakes in the book. When i first joined, i was about as illiterate as you can get, fairly immature, and all my characters all seemed to be canine Mary-sues. I soon became increasingly literate, just by watching others. I also learned more about what makes a good charecter, and that mate begging was wrong, which i also made the mistake of doing during my first few days *le blushes*. I don't remember everything that happened on my first few days, but i can tell you this: I'm nothing like what i was.

I have belonged to this community for quite some time now. And with confidence I can openly admit that I have changed... A lot during that time. I am engaging with outside activities as well as enjoying myself on the forums by socializing with the community.
I enjoy welcoming new members as this somewhat makes me happy to know that the community is constantly getting bigger and it makes me a proud Feral Heart member. I see a lot of friendly and helpful staff and members around this place and it makes me feel like this is my second home.
When I first joined I just wanted to play the game. After a while that got a little boring and I migrated to the forums. At first I used it to search for my 'long lost' mate who after a while I gave up on. Now I use this as a fun communicator between those amazing floofs that make me feel 'at home'.
My role-playing skills improved by miles, and my post count marks my loyalty to this community. I also decided to do some art requests and show off some of my story-writing.
So long story short, I have changed a lot since the first time my paw stood ground here.

i loved seeing all the things you guys did! i didn't really start off as an illiterate because i'd had plenty of experience roleplaying before that -- and i met some very nice people who taught me what a private map was. my first character was a black dog with a white underbelly.
i did however break the 'no dancing over people' rule because one of my friends pressured me into it... ah. but when a mod told us off i went away for the rest of the day because i was so scared, lol.
