Stupidest thing(s) You did/thought as a newbie

[SekoETC]

Since we've been busy laughing at poor n00bs and their ordeals, let's take a look back and reveal our own most embarrassing screw-ups, childish misconseptions and other things like that.

I thought that...

- a curing tub heals people

- I might be able to sell a bone ring to a well-equipped man (luckily never got into trying though)

- grapes are a good daily food

- I can't eat potatoes because clicking the button gives an error message

- that people might be mad at me if I log out without letting them know

- that projects advance in real time

- that you can work on several projects at the same time

- that getting clothes, equipment etc. is easy

- that you're immortal (well, I knew death would be final but I never though one could run into their bitter end in their twenties)

- that it's good form to have a background story for your characters since they're 20 already

- that nothing worth mentioning means some sort of basic clothing (nope, these days I imagine my newspawns naked)

- that all your suggestions are fresh ones (don't we all?)

- that there is justice

- that pottery would be added soon

(- that there is a chance to make art)

(- that there is singing)

(These are in parenthesis since they are kinda true, but in very small form.)

What I didn't know was that you can't drag a note while working on a project.

I called my first charrie Crosshair, and told them i was looking for my brother, then went into a building. the Building was TBr headquarters..... i didnt come out alive.

*rofl* Yeah, some of my characters had a family too. Jaina had plenty of little brothers and sisters too I think, while Hannah was running from an arranged marriage to an older man.

*yelps and runs away, his tail between his legs*

Shortly after, the Macgregors killed my first character.

[notsure]

I couldn't understand why I couldn't take small hand-held projects with me everywhere I went.

I couldn't understand why each person needed to attack the animals every day, until some of us were eaten.

notsure

[Torkess_theCommie]

I thought vehicles and building were public
I thought 8 hrs as in real earth time so I was fustrated when my projects took so long

[BadMonkey]

I thought 5 years work for a bone shield was good pay.

[Blackdeath]

I thought the barons were just "misunderstood"

[HoH]

I remember wondering why everything was green.

My friends didn't understand the concept of a MMORPG, so they thought I was talking to a computer.

I thought people would respond to me automatically. After all, why shouldn't they? It's not like they have lives or anything....

o but they do....

[goitre]

One of my chars got offended when someone wouldn't pass her something while on the road.

[nateflory]

One of my characters ws challeneged to "Meet me in Naron, I'll take a boat and get there ahead of you...". Since I was new to the game, I thought this was going to be a fun but short-lived mission to just help me get the hang of exploring.

Little did I realize just what sort of time/distance was involved when my Brunoi-area-spawned character set out to find Naron...

[Racetyme]

I was convinced that I could become powerful enough to lead a town and an army within a few weeks of spawning......

[El_Skwidd]

I didn't understand dynamic naming, so I thought I broke a game law when I named my first character Vex instead of 'a man in his twenties.'

Wouldn't have been as bad if I didn't make an OOC comment out of it and paint a big red sign on my face that says 'NOOB'.

[Stan]

I spawned in the Hills of Hilloi. Think there were tomatoes there. I picked them but it kept telling me I was hungry.

There was another man there that would never speak and I slapped him about 25 times trying to get him to speak. I thought, "what an idiot!"
