This is actually a true, nonfiction story of how I joined LM... Enjoy!
I, Venwolf, had played Feral Heart for almost a year.
Just a short one week before my one year anniversary, it happened. By it, I mean the ban. I got banned from the game.
At first, I was just a lonely little player of a wolf-simulator game known as Wolf Quest. Although there was a multiplayer feature, it wasn't enough for my MMORPG cravings. I tried WoW, hated it. I even somehow resorted to Wizard 101 but hated it.
Then I found Feral Heart.
Long story short, I got banned on FH for no reason. Even when I contacted the staff, they had no reason for banning me but could unfortunately not stop the ban. Pretty weird, eh?
So, during late January, I embarked on a long and treachurous journey through the Internet to find the game that I would love. But I never found it. I went to a page that had info listed about the ongoing IT servers, and got very interested. I saw Impressive Space, Impressive World, and many others.
I tried Impressive World but was for whatever reason, unable to complete the update or something.
I tried Wolf Soul... And although I kinda liked it, it just didn't click.
But then, when I was about to give up and go back to Wolf Quest, I found a little link. lastmoon.org, it said.
I sighed, and clicked on the link, expecting for the game to be like all the others. Now I'm not saying that the other IT servers are bad, but personally, they didn't meet my craving for a game.
I don't know what it was, but I downloaded the game.
I was an ignorant idiot, as I didn't download DirectX, therefore I got an error. Thinking that my computer was the issue, I tossed Last Moon into the Recycle Bin, like the other games I tried.
About a week later, I got curious. I chose to look up my error, and found myself later at a DirectX download link. I didn't even use the link that Last Moon provided. I found it on my own I guess.
Finally, the last resort opened. I pleaded for this to be a good game.
I made an account, logged in, and created a merlion named Pizza (random name)
The Merlion later became Zhaleh, a character of mine.
When I opened the world, I snorted. Pizza couldn't walk around, she kept getting stuck. The game was laggy and there was grass everywhere. I was snickering, I thought the game was pitiful.
But something about this game made me come back.
And so, I started playing again and again, making new characters constantly.
I also joined the forums on February 19.
I slowly began to adjust to the game's controls and settings, and I started posting on the forums.
My first posts were pretty stupid, but hey, we all have a bad start.
I made friends on Last Moon, too.
Macabre, Jiyoku, Jenxie13, Chesire Cat, Yaoi, and many, many more.
I was surprised how nice and supportive the community was. I feel today like you guys understand me and my issues. And I feel like I'm not part of a game, but a family. Feral Heart's community, no offense to them, but it was... eh. Not very good to be honest.
I'm glad I made the decision to take Last Moon out of the Recycling Bin, or I would have never met such amazing people.
Thank you, Last Moon community, for being one of the best game communities I've ever been a part of!
