I remember the days when I was a fawn...
I lost all my screenshots of my fawnhood because I took too much and didn't save them anywhere else. It's horrible, it would have been so great to see all these old screenshots.
But I remember my first day pretty well...
I first just looked into the game as a guest. I remember that the Forest looked a lot different to me from now. Now I know every single edge and place of it exactly. As a guest I didn't even know how big the Forest actually was.
I remember running around, then coming to The Playground. Of course I didn't know its name then (I didn't look at the ToT page really well. I mostly never to that with english games, because most of the time I don't understand anything anyway. I just always try to find everything out for myself.). I remember meeting two other deer there... I worked out some actions, not sure which ones, I hope it wasn't the fighting movement or something. xD I think I just copied them: bowing and sniffing and such.
But then I got jealous of their pictograms... so I closed the game as fast as I could and registered my pictogram.
Then, my first time as a fawn. I remember running around a little until I got to a small group of adult deer near The Pond... maybe even a fawn was there. I felt a little ignored, but when they danced I had much fun... I remember that even the sounds of the dancing sounded different... sometimes, when I watch videos from Auriea at YouTube, I remember this feeling when I heard the Forest dancing music first... it's weird.
When two deer with the devout pelt came to us and spelled it on us, I got very excited. So excited I even thought first that was a Mini-Abio. Seriously!
Later, they all ran to The Ruin and I followed. I remember feeling more than ever ignored there, but eh, when I found out about the mushrooms & mask-spelling I forgot. xD I didn't really know much about the spells... to tell the truth, I knew nothing. ^^ I thought, when you're given a spell, only then you can cast this one etc. Probably because I got to know the Devout spelling as the first one ever... The mushroom thingie confused me with my theory, but I wasn't very able to find it out yet...
Then I remember seeing somebody as a bat. HOW jealous I was! xDD When I start a game I want to get to know everything about it just then. And I so wanted to BE a bat! n.n
So I asked the deer - the bat had transformed back - to cast this spell on me (remember my stupid theory? Yeah). Well, he/she didn't - he/she just sat down in a mushroom circle and it made me mad. ^^
I loved this game from the first sight. But it needed some time until I even found out about antler spelling and longer about pelt spelling. And I figured out after two weeks or such about the Shapeshifting spell... that was the first time I realized that everything just stood on the homepage. And that you could even make it german. Stupid me. xD
