i think the first thing i got was my hair, i had to invest my camping lindens in something good. is the one i still use to this day.

first object.. a wooden cube.

first notecard.. it says "owning your home in second life is easy!"

first snapshot is of a person i loved, we stop seeing each other, and then i saw her one last time, i luckly made my first snapshot to remember her forever.

first landmark, Help Island

first outfit i had, besides the one you got when you start second life, it was a hippie outfit, by Hippie Pay. i tought that the safest way was to find the hippies, they are usually friendly with noobies.

I can't remember most of my firsts, they didn't seem important at the time.

I do remember the first thing I built, though.  Not counting just playing about with prims, my first build was a simple garden shed.  I didn't keep it as I hadn't discovered how to link the prims together to make one object at the time.

[Void Singer]

1st purchase:
hair from Washu's Wigs (a kindly creator gave me several skins, and I've since spent tons of money in her shop)

1st object made:
arm bands with unicorn spikes at the request of a friend

1st notecard made:
kinda sad, it was a rumor control message

1st landmark:
Weirdorkistan

1st snapshot:
A profile picture of myself, sadly lost along the way (ok not so sad, it was a horrible pic)

1st outfit:
a not bad freebie fairy... I figured if I can fly I might as well have wings, also lost to the sands of time

1st script:
a group enabled visitor counter, installed in an eye that appeared to be looking at you no mater where were

1st commercial product:
Retractable and multi configurable scripted wings

1st Shared building/texturing trick:
2 prim realistic table with lap and legs (NOT a sculpt)

1st Scripting discovery shared:
much improved hinges for doors

1st community joined:
Goth

1st trend I absolutely hated:
Bling (and I still hate it!)

1st major SL change I remember:
I think it was point to point teleports, but it's been so long that something like Lindex may have beat it.

1st rez date:
sometime in late 2004 or early 2005, memory fades and the av was deleted

current inventory count:
~5k including duplicates which I'm slowly getting rid of.

[Luc Starsider]

How you guys remember what your firsts was is beyond me! I can't even remember which info hub I got to after leaving the island I rezzed in to.

I know my inventory is below 10k items, but that's about it.

[Void Singer]

I remember most of it because of the people and the reasons I first came here... i didn't come because it was something new to check out... I came here to spend time with someone else while we were apart. Made lots of friends in those early days, some of whom I still hang out with.

that said my memory is a grab bag... I usually can't remember jack unless I have a reference... something that sticks out so I can link it to what doesn't... I probably couldn't remember half those facts if you asked me just one specifically. drives me nuts sometimes.

[Randall Ahren]

Luc, how about your first threesome? Surely you can remember that.

[LoveAngeL Lyre]

Hello Prokofy, hello to all:

First slow dance: In a hidden cave under a waterfall in September Rainforest

First sim which got me totally impressed: Japan Tempura Island

[Shelby Silverspar]

lets see, the first thing I bought was hair. I'm such a girl :matte-motes-big-grin:

[Carole Franizzi]

First purchase: a god-awful Califonia tanned babe skin (second purchase: full bright waist-length blonde mane to go with it...shivers...)

First object I made: well, incredibly enough, a Japanese tea-house. I may have made some simple hoop earrings before that but that tea-house I was inordinately proud of.

First favourite sim: first and only sim I ever fell totally in love with - Chouchou.

First moment of SL inspiration: when I made a fake diary profile for the previous (young) version of Carole which ended up being the basis for the old dame avie which Carole has been for a couple of years now.

First notecard: haven't the foggiest, though knowing me, it was probably the chat-log of some very heated debate which I felt I would enjoy mulling over at my leisure. In actual fact, I have a collection of SL arguments in a file somewhere in my inventory. How sad is that??  

First SL "crisis": a slow build-up during the months before posting in the forum for the first time. The appeal of SL had worn a little thin and although not exactly ready to leave, I was pretty bored with in-world life, so I started reading the forums in lieu of logging.

[Ceera Murakami]

• First outfit: A free fox avatar, obtained at a freebie depot in The Forest sim. And I made a simple purple dress for myself, just using the Appearance controls.

Had that kind of thing been a part of my SLife, the sure I would. But that's what Rl is for, isn't it?

Oh, I remember my first home. It was a Linden Home in Meadowbrook. (I'm that young. ) And the first eyes I got, cause they are the ones I use now.

I had to lol when I read Laguna Beach!  LAGuna beach, holy cow that place was always packed wasn't it! I'd forgotten all about it, it was quite the meat market back in the day!

[Luc Starsider]

In many ways, having no property was more fun than having it. It meant I had to go somewhere to unpack things, to build, to hang out, and so on. I got to see a lot more of SL then. Now, the house is pretty much where I go unless I specifically decide to check some place out.

[Celestiall Nightfire]

First object I purchased:  Green eyes, and at the time they looked pretty realistic.  I just recently bought new more realistic green eyes from the same creator, who is wonderful and on my friends list.   I save $L from camping back in '07 to buy those first eyes.

First personal object bought for me by someone else:  My longtime building partner bought me my first prim hair.  I knew what I wanted, and he and I TP'd into the fancy-shmacy shop and he gave me the $L..and TaDa!  I had beautiful prim hair.  But, I had resisted the idea...and resisted him paying for something that I would wear.  So, the whole exchange and purchase was one that is a strong memory for me.

First object I made:  Was a prim that I rezzed in a LL sandbox to learn how to make prims.  Just a random prim square.  This was on day one for me in SL.  (right after that some greifer guys caged me ...THREE freaking times!  I was spitting mad!)

First multi-prim object:   I made a couch.  Simple prims and free textures from my inventory.   I sitll have that couch, and use it to sit when I rezz building platforms.  I love that when I click on it, it has a created date within three days of my rezz-day. 

First notecard I made:   I was so afraid of not remember how to build something, that I had just made, that I painstakingly put all the information from my little build onto a notecard. 

First Snapshot:  A picture of my long-time building partner and I floating on our backs in a swimming pool, while he tried to explain the CADD like building process to me.  He's a RL engineer and he tried his best to help me grasp the entire process.

First Landmark:  People had given me LMs.  But, first one I think I made would have also been the Ivory Tower of Prims, as I was really trying to learn how to build. 

First clothing/outfit I made:  I took a snapshot I had taken in SL and applied it as the texture to a system shirt I made, and did something similar for pants.  So newbish..but, I loved that outfit! 

I currently have over 50K objects in my inventory and that is pared down from 55K.  (yes, I've pared my inventory down many times...and it grow again)

I was dazed and confused when I first arrived in SL. I could barely manage the interface, but I remember discovering how to fly - which I considered a personal technological achievement on a par with the moon landing. It was only after meeting a couple of cool guys that I learned one could build things with mysterious 'prims'. My outfit was a catastrophe - a sleek, tangelo number called Apollyon, rolls eyes. I walked like a duck for three months. Pathetic.

Here is my first photograph, which corresponds to my first landmark. For weeks, I believed our bodies remained inworld permanently, so I would always return to the bottom of a lake in Ahern before logging out.

My first purchase was, of course, hair - red hair - which has ruled my life ever since. (I still wear the second hair I ever bought in SL.)

   

My First Land was in Jingyo, but my first big mainland purchase was L$32k for a 4096m2 in Waring. I quickly upgraded to a 4096m2 in Maroon (L$20 per m2 in November 2006):

Can you tell I was into sunsets? Those were the good ol' days when the sun rose and set properly. For all the advantages of Windlight, the loss of realistic sun and moon positions still hurts (and a shame the water presets don't persist).

The first club I ever visited was The Edge, which was then sliding into decrepitude, but my first real club was Sanctuary Rock. I've been going there regularly now for over four years.

The first contest I ever won was courtesy of Xelephine:

So, a lot of good memories since I moved to SL nearly five years ago.

[Canoro Philipp]

i remember my first contest i ever won, was "best in neko", and i didnt have any neko stuff on me

i was a noobie and everybody had their names on the board except me, a dancer asked me if i was not gonna put my name in there, i said "what for.. im not gonna win anyways". to my surprise, i got the most votes and won the contest!

sometimes people get together to help a noobie, like we do here in the forums.
