Me and my RL friends started to play on Lunara in 2003. However, one of our friends created his character on Calmera, so we thought: damn, we will never see each other? So we all created a new character on Calmera and started to play there. However, our friend became citizen of Carlin and we became citizen of Venore, so we though: damn, we will never see each other?
We really didn't know we could cross cities by walking. Then he found one of those maps of Tibia on an old fansite and tried to reach Venore. But, he actually ended up on that dragon near Kazordoon. That was his first dragon, and I had never seen one yet. A level 30~ knight named Xenoga was killing it, but my friend died because he didn't know how to go back down the hole. He called me in real life and said: MAN, I DIED BY A DRAGON! and I: A DRAGON? COME TO MY HOUSE!
Well, we were young. He came to my house, logged in with his character and showed where the dragon was. When he went upstairs, the same guy was still killing dragons and again "we" couldn't go down. (The hole is hidden behind a tree, you know... :rolleyes:)
Those times were funny. While exploring we feared going down holes: "there must be something hard there!" Since we didn't find the hidden hole to go back, we had to keep walking to the north-east and then we arrived in Amazon Camp. It was the first time we saw amazons and valkyries.
In the end he finally arrived in Venore, went to his RL home and we all could have fun together.
You know that sentence "You will never forget your first dragon?" - that was completely true back then. A dragon really scared new players and therefore was unforgettable, different from now. :)
