Oh man, I've been on here for such a long time. I recognize every inch of the old maps like the back of my hand.~
Bonfire was the first map I've been too, and it definitely has some iconic parts to it. TLK roleplayers near the cave, mate/adoption centers in the middle, and the exotic animal roleplayers on the outer edges. It created such a community, that usually never got along. xD You'd find the youngest roleplayers here, but some rude snotty people came in to this map to be jerks. I'm pretty indifferent about Bonfire, but it still holds many memories.
Ficho Tunnel was a gem. First, I never got it's name and called it "Fincho" for the longest time because I can't read. Fandom roleplayers were a-plenty here, FNAF, Homestuck, Undertale, whatever was popular at the time. I remember getting lost in this map a bunch of times when I first started, and always having trouble getting up that darn waterfall!
Now Fluorite Plains is the biggest memory holder. I will always remember the specific places such as the "Z", "plus", "L island", etc. There was so many iconic places for roleplay spots, for different kinds of rp types too. For example the Forestclan (Warriors) roleplay I was in by the Y river. It was a sub par experience but it was the longest group I was in. I still have my kitten Stormfeather and I'm thinking of remaking her and using her again. Stone Bridge was my favorite place after General was removed. I had so many funny moments on that bridge. Another nice memory is sitting around chatting and arguing on General, but that's now still gone. lol grrrrrr
That island where you jump on a bunch of rocks spontaneously to get to the top (forgot the name) was one of my favorite maps, because of the activity of course. I mastered it so easily and I loved helping people. I remember that there was a group of Hetalia characters every time I got into that map. Is the map still in game, or at least a remake of it? I haven't explored enough yet.
Sky's Rim had fantasy roleplayers, South Pole had it's beauty and the "twerkline" I made a while back, and Last Cave had it's creepy glitches. Not much to say about Lonely Cave though, except it confused me the first time it was added.
Sigh, I'm getting nostalgic. I wish I came back earlier so I could play the original before the patch but life got in the way.
However, I love all the new maps so far! This game honestly needed a change of some sort, it's been 4 lonely years. I'll never forget all the friends I made in these maps that are now all inactive. I wish I could just contact them now and say "HEY! FeralHeart just had a big update!". They'll probably not remember me though because it's been so long.
