TO memories : Act I - Unexpected Addiction

Posted 02-27-2013 at 03:55 PM by Credo
Just a new game around
Here we are, back to 2007's. Me and Milambee, IRL friends were faithful Tibia players, but the game itself was becoming boring, also, with the defeats and deaths by PKs - and friends quitting the game. But Milambee had an uncommon friendship with a polish player - His name, Piotrek, and he invited us to give TO a try. Moments after, the call was made to all our IRL friends, which played Tibia together with us too...

The rejection between other IRL friends of mine was massive, some made their character and played some hours... Others, did not even wanted to try. Just because of the game's graphs. Most of then said it was... gay, so did I, but I've got used to play, and simply... Ignored that factor. So did Milambee, and he had chosen to create a lion. On TO Piotrek was already a lv200+ buffalo, since I had chosen to create a buffalo (I picked that character because he looked more manly) he guided me through. So, unlike most of the begginers, I didn't had to create another character, since he was already yelling at me to put all the points on AP, and all skills I had to ask him twice before spending my TM points on. Only when I had achieved 3rd job I've became more independent on that way. Curiously, he had quitted weeks after the 3rd job patch launch.

Grinding all the way up, I never did any episode quest back on that time. Not even Ep. 0 !



The first steps made alone
When I have started to play TO, I had only few words in my english vocabulary. " HI " ; " TRADE " ; " OFFER " ; " OK " ; " BYE " And Milambee was always there when Piotrek had something to say to me, so he did the translating job - But since my only IRL friend was Milambee, and I could not find any fellow BR along, it was necessary to handle myself in some situations, with the dictionary's help. Also, to argue about the royal or special parties, since they were extremelly valuable, pretty much the only way to level up, since I could not understand a word the NPCs said, after all, I didn't had quite the curiosity to check it out what was about.

Boss hunts did not had unique weapons and stuff like the actual years, but somehow, it was fun doing so. On those hunts to Capt. Skull in Oops Wharf, I've met Abbey with her cat "oOblueberrieOo", my very first no-brazillian friend, with the exception of Piotrek, since that one was from Tibia. We didn't had quite the communication, but in the future our roads would really follow together. But that's for another Act section.

Another face that I have met was someone with the character "BabyCherii" . It was clear that was a fake, however, speaking with he/she/it granted me a good experience on writing in english.
