When I first joined I.....

[Cerizen]

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: , 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.|

[-Rapid-]

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'

2. didn't know how to move without clicking

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

...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);
...

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

[KibaWolf73]

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

[catsanddogsandbirds]

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.
