Looks like a fun topic. :3
I was brutally forced into FeralHeart by a good friend of mine last June. Of course, I waited a few months for registration, but I was drawn into it from the start.
I remember I had started with 3 characters. Nevica, Twist (pre-doctor) and a demon that was long lost in the sands of time/comouter harddrive. I don't really remember much about what exactly I did (besides a few roleplays), but after about a week or so, I did meet some amazing friends and absolutely fell in love with this game.
Ah... good times.
I was wandering aimlessly around Google in 2011-ish, looking for cool games. ('cause when I was bored, I would google games to play). So as I was searching through the endless flood of "animal game" images, I happened upon a screenshot of the FH character creator and was hooked right off the bat.
I joined so fast I got whiplash. My first character was a nooby brown and tan wolf named "Fuego" (XD).
As soon as I hopped on, the game spit me out in the middle of Bonfire, where I noob'd around, found the actions tab and just sat there butt-swinging for a while before going up and trolling the Lion King peeps on 'pride rock'.
Ahh. good times, man.
