(I know, it's very long, but I did my best to make it 'interesting')

BUZZ!!!!!!! and my msn messenger window pops up while I was watching an interesting video.
"Hey you, I've found a great game to play, you definitely need to play it with me ! Come on and download it !!" Oh Damn...I wish I didn't open MSN today ! what does HE want again?A game? Awww...I suppose it's some kind of boring mmorpg again - he always wants me to play stupid games - "it looks very good and I already have a character level 15 !!" Oh wow...is that great? I have no idea. Actually, I've never played any mmorpg in my life. Don't worry about me, I feel good about it. "Come on, download it !" Ew...sorry man, you didn't give me the NAME of the game...try again please. WHAT? Talisman Online?...It can only be boring, I'm sure it is boring, and there's NO WAY I would play a game like this !
Please, don't be weird about it. I DO NOT want to play your game ! "Oh come on...after all I'm you're brother...play with me !! I'm sure you'll love it !"
...
 - one hour later -

...
Ok, I'll play your game, but PLEASE stop being weird ! Damn, how do you download that game? It looks so complicated !
I'll stop the story here for a second, maybe I should have said this before. As you may have noticed yet, I am not the most intelligent girl you'll meet in your life, which means I do not know how to download a game when I get a list of 4 servers - and don't laugh please.
Finaly, after 15 minutes, I found out how to download the game (I mean, my brother found a way to explain me how to do it.)
"Ok, now register, you'll see, it's very easy" Very easy ? Yes, ok, very easy, after 'only' 30 minutes, it was done...
After I installed the game (witch was easy, that's one of the only things I can do), I logged in. I'll just play 2 minutes and make my brother understand that his game sucks.
What? Can't I play? Oh damn, now I need to chose a character...Let's see :
Monk : looks like he had a steroid overdose
Assassin : i'm not a punk-rocker
Fairy : eeeek its pink
Tamer : yeah comes with a pole
Wizard : but, but, but...
    There we go. My brother explained me how to make my wizard walk, that's a good start. And, I even found how to accept a quest. I was very proud, because I found that out myself (ok, I was trying to do something else, but let's forget about that detail) The little wild boars now...My brother led me to them, great. Now I need to find out how to attack...ok, it looks like I have 2 differents attacks. I kill, I don't know why, but I kill. After a few minutes, my brother says "great, you're level 2 !" ehm...How the hell did he know that? Where's it written? Oh, that was the shiny yellow that scared me, I thought I was dead.
Now comes the most difficult part. Enhancing...If I understand, I have some energy (that I don't use to walk, it's not the same kind of energy apparently) but I must use it on my wepon to make it stronger. Oh my god, this is the worst hour of my life...It's horrible, and I don't understand anything ! Anyway, I'll just do what I'm told to, tomorrow I won't be playing anymore !
"I need to go now...level your character until level 15 as fast as possible, you'll play with my main !" Ok, let's try to do that...for my quest I need to find a guy...Don't tell me I'll need to look for him in the whole map ! Oh wait, my brother told me something about auto-path...but I don't remember it. So, I'll just leave the game. Farewell, Talisman Online !

Re: The Adventure !

(my essay is too long for one post...so here's the rest...:( )


- 2 days later -

I was talking to some friends, with a drink and some food, when a new MSN window appeared. It was as if it slapped me in the face.
"What? You didn't do anything on Talisman Online? I told you to level you character !!" oops, this sounds like trouble. I tried to explain him that I couldn't find that guy I needed to report something to, but he only said I was too retarded to find it "Log in" he said "I'm gonna show you, it's very easy" Wow, I'm feeling so happy now...
I told him I didn't want to play, but he seemed dissapointed. I told him I didn't understand anything and he told me it was because I didn't want to. Ok, maybe that was right, and actually I was happy he told me that, at least I had an excuse for being a noob ('noob' is a word I've just learnt while playing Talisman Online - after hearing it a few times, I asked what it meant). I was feeling bad about this whole Talisman Online thing, and that's why I finaly logged on again, and this time, I knew it was going to be different. I decided to create a new character, a fairy this time (I found out they could heal and that sounded very interesting, despite the pink short dress), and I played, without my brother knowing. I wanted to surprise him, and I decided that I was going to understand that bloody game, and show him that I tried to like it before saying Talisman Online was a bad game.
The little fairy was doing well, I discovered the quest aid, and the explanations for everything I didn't know. I've got to admit that it helped me a lot. Everytime, something new caught my attention, the apprenticeship system, the different weapons, the caves, the quests, the differents parts of the map, the stalls, ... And everytime, it made me curious about the rest. Instead of showing me the game was horrible, it showed me it was interesting, and I started to like it.
I was very proud when I told my brother I finaly understood the game a little, but his answer was "Oh, great. I'm gonna stop playing by the way, so...good luck !"
Damn him.


 - One year and a few month later -

I'm bored at home, alone in my room. I'll play TO, there's always a thing to do there...Today, I feel like creating a new character...
Monk : Oh, no...I made already 3 monks and I don't really like that profession.
Assassin : I already have a few of them !
Fairy : My main is a fairy, I already know everything about them (uh...let's pretend I do)
Tamer : I have one too, not at the max level, but there's no use of making one more.
Wizard : My wizard is at the max level, and I tested both weapons already.
Oh...well, I guess I won't create a character now...But what am I going to do?

BUZZ!!!!!!! and my msn messenger window pops up.
"Come on tally fast, FP spam !" I read the 3 first words and I'm already starting the game. Yes, it's still the same person writing. Now I know how to enhance, how to accept quests, how to heal and I even how to speak in the different chats (unbelievable, isn't it?). I log my fairy - the same fairy I made long ago to be sure Talisman Online was a stupid game - and play with some of the nice people I met in game.
Suddenly, I get a PM "I think I just leveled, what now?" I smile, and explain what enhancing is with a lot of patience (Don't worry, even I understand it !).
To be honest, I've been a little weird for my friend to play Talisman Online...

Re: The Adventure !

An interesting account of your first trip in to the realm of Talisman Online. I am glad you took the time to learn it and still enjoy it today and help other new players that like you did not understand the mechanics of the game when they began their journeys in to this realm.
