[Croconil]

What was your name before, Illori? It wans something like Aragorn pwns N00bz or something was it?

I started playing PS because Natrina (my IC and OOC sister) told me about this game she had downloaded.

At first I thought it was the most ridiculous thing ever. A game where you just talked and collected jewels to get useless weapons. But Natrina seemed to be having a blast, and she came with such a cool background for herself and her guild. So I thought... Let's give it a try.

I didn't make much questions back then. There was little to know and Natrina told me what I needed. I was already familiar with roleplaying games and it wasn't too hard making Sangwa fit in the place.
So I just listened to those around me, until I thought I knew enough to engage in their conversations. Those were fun times. We would gather at the temple and discuss the most thrilling things. The Cabal was our only pseudo-concern. And so my first times went well.

It's great to read all these experiences people! Only sad thing, is that yours sound so much more glorious then mine was Keep it up!

First character, and first time in CB:

Finaly downloaded the game after a week of nights. Damn ye dialup! I thought I would use a more unique and amusing character, rather than the hero types, so I brought Arnigus Faymore to the game from the forum....

The lag fom my pc was awfull to say the least, which was ok, seeings how good old Arn is no small man in girth... Ok, he is just plain fat. Very fat. Anyways, it took half an hour just to walk across the plaza, almost to Harn's. Then someone walked up and uttered ther words I will never forget, and opened up the world of roleplaying to me...

"Hey sexy body!"

Then he ran off...yes...he. Arnigus then crashed, or maybe fainted. Then my old pc crashed and burned.

PS works great on my new one, thank you very much.

Untar Demune joined January as my first RP character that I could move with. Ten minutes after logging in, the kind poet became mired in an RP that lasted until the day he died...last week. I found playing him calming, as he never really saw the world as everyone else did.

Then there was Krook, my first rude character. First words spoken by Krook, followed by his first / me:

Krook says: Ya blasted kids! Git off the plaza an go do some work.
Krook grumbles about ugly people being alowed on the streets in the daylight

And just for Proglin, something Krook overheard:

Proglin says: ow wow.... Elesy.... you are THE most wonderfull girl i ever met!

My first time on line as my favorite character in March, I said nothing, and have said nothing ever since. *bows to Aeshion*

I made a promise not to talk about my first experiences in PS because it's considered "badmouthing".  What I remember mostly though was being snubbed by the Feline's Lair and being killed by Amheh 25 times in a row.  And stealing Teegress's steel ingot, but I think that was later on.  They start with the steel ingots, then they move to the dark battle axes... I tell ya.

[Phinehas]

But then Zanzibar deserves everything that happens to him...

[Valbrandr]

That Amheh.. you got to love him

[Phinehas]

I can't really remember particular instances... I remember what it was like, and a couple of things, but not true first experiences... I would ask if anyone else could remember the first time they met me, but that seems rather egocentric.

[Valbrandr]

Well if you would like to know what my first impressions were..

obviously when I got here I had a problem with some of the oldbies around.. especially Seperot.. and when you (Phinehas) kept posting on his side (or so I thought), I couldnt help but think you were his shadow .. I definately didnt get a good first impression

[zanzibar]

But then Zanzibar deserves everything that happens to him...

But then Zanzibar is a real person, so watch your mouth.

Got hired as a night shift operator for a medical transcriptionist company.

Found that there was nothing to do on nights off, so I searched for an online game to beta test.

Found PS, posted this: http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=18038.msg199343#msg199343  ( [edit] This was time when the server was down due to the characters being wiped [end edit])

Once I finally got in game, I talked to an npc enki standing around one of the carts in akkaio (all those seem to be long gone for now).  I was able to get him to reply to "hello" and that was it.  Then I walked out the gate, and saw a Rogue and tried to talk to him like I did the enki.  The rogue replied with stabbies.  I ran away.

After that I went to the warehouse where I met Drey, and I annoyed him while collecting gold falchions when the rats still dropped gold falchions.  I think one of my characters still has her pair of gold falchions from the rats.  I haven't used that character in some time though.  She's "sleeping" at the moment.

Anyways, I got some trias and decided to explore, but stuck in every little thing, and thus the unstick command became my dearest friend.  So having failed to get anywhere even remotely with a elevation change involved, I went back to killing rats and collecting gold falchions.

A week later, I met Ayshe and her, at that time anyway, right hand menki, Proteous.  And with them and the rest of the FL, I learned "RP".

and as Paul Harvey would say, "And you know, the rest of the story."

--------------------------------
That's what I would call my real first time.  I Remember playing MB for about 5 minutes, saw that it was just still too new for even me, and decided to come back at a later time.  Then I completely forgot about the project until stated above. 

[Croconil]

I remember when I first talked to you ingame Phin. It was in the tavern, if I remember correctly.

Good RP'er, but you gotta loosen up a bit

But w/e, it was cool!
