I also spent loads of points in DEX with Hunie Mk. I because I though he couldn't hit anywhere with his bastard sword without DEX points. (I blame Diablo 2 for that.)

Every time I read posts made by my first forum account Opustus, my self-esteem jumps off a bridge.

I went and looked them up out of morbid curiosity. Bwahaha.

My noob mistake was hitting the recommend button for my first several characters.

Ny very first character online had Harper Scout in it.

I was the ultimate noob, not only did I jump straight on multiplayer and totaly ignored single player (I still have never played single player) but I didn't even know what ROLE PLAY was all about.

I spent my first week running around on my own trying to ignore all those strange people standing outside Haurs (Old Cordor) and the Temple and wondering why my Paladin couldnt hit a thing (I was guilty of reccomended clicking).

Some weeks after and feeling a bit braver I made my first attempts at RPing with people and ended up getting told off by a DM for my Paladin running around with a Tiefling Demon Kin.

It took me months to figure out how to whisper (/w) and talk in party chat (/p) and I used ot change from whisper to party (once I worked it out) by clicking the option rather than typing /s /p /w etc.

After getting told off for the third time and being forced into a free rebuild from Paladin to Fighter I built my first level 30 version of Metalien, 20 fighter, 10 rogue.. he had NO UMD or Tumble and had more dex than str... he was truly abysmal and I dont know to this day how I managed to survive Brog with him.

Thanks to many patient people I finaly figured out how to role play and talk in party or whisper, I don't know where I'd be without them so I try to take time out to teach noobs how to do things if they need help.

1st Character on amia: Lothite drow with celestial blood.
2nd Character on amia: Frost Giant child.

Yea. I would have not rped with myself. Odd thing was, they seemed normal at the time.

I made a halfling toon with a bio that said it was Feonir's and Floriane's daughter. I made the character an RP'ed in the old Cordor square with them for about two seconds until they read the bio and asked what i was doing.

Once upon a time Peeves and I were over at Malkavianman2000's house. All three of us were online at once and being fairly new not one of us realized we needed to configure our ports. This led to a series of never ending Richard clones overwhelming the Nomad and spilling out into the street. Between the three of us we broke the sever so completely that it needed a physical reboot.

I still have some of the screenies I took of Richard staring himselves down, makes for a good laugh every now and then.

Oh, and builds. Sharina was a barbarian weaponmaster sorcereress

The frightening this is, they were.

I had that terrible phase as well. I wasn't that bad from the beginning, however. The Mary Sue environment blurred my mind and I started spawning utterly profane travesties in a year from that, but honestly, my first ever character was a silly misfit of a half-orc farmer with a scythe. I could still play that concept wholeheartedly.
