I remember going to event sales and seeing people muttering hm and I thought they were all wandering around saying hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmm and thought what a bunch of twits. LMAO It took me forever to realize they were actually asking how much!!!
I remember going to auctions (they were only ever closed back then) and seeing people with giant lips above their heads munching and wondering what in blazes that was!!!! Also took me forever to figure out it was a way to get more energy to be able to stay and the auction longer. LMAO.

My first two weeks I would stand outside the Altons watching boxes flying and people yelling GFG and and "someone max me" among other things and wonder what it all meant but was too afraid to ask.

I remember when auctions were mostly closed and how everyone would rate the room down if the owner poofed.
I have mentioned several times about the energy thing because I would love the owners who would have the popcorn machine there at their place so I didn't have to leave.

i forgot all about the popcorn machine wasn't there a drinks one too?

I remember drinks, but not an actually drink machine. The only reason I remember the popcorn machine is because I actually still have one from when I bought it shortly before they stopped the needing energy thing.

It doesn't work like it use to, its only animated.

I thought that was the only way to visit my friends.

Also I was amazed that some of my friends had couches from the girly theme, as well as laptops placed on their tables.
Both coin items from way back then,which are now easily affordable to me.

2)When i was new,I was hesitant to spend any coins before I had a good idea of what was available in all the stores and set priorities.
My first goal was the gothic home,which I was able to buy a few days after christmas.

3)when I was new, I had no idea how to achieve all those badges and kept asking people at Alton Towers about it.
Especially the gold pot achievement seemed really difficult to figure out. I kept walking any-and everywhere on the yo-map hoping to find them,until one player at Alton Towers told me I had to go to Yoville dot com for that.
And that is also how I found the forums.

4)When I was new to the forums and checked out the WCG section to hold my first little contest,I caused some confusion,because I am not a native English speaker and thought that price and prize were the same. So I wrote that the winner would get a price. Lol It took someone to explain it to me before I understood what was wrong.

5) When I was new to Yo, I was scared of going to events. I feared hackers etc.#

edited to add:

6) When being relatively new to visiting events, people said "hagd" (have a good day) and i thought that was their way to avoid the filters catching them saying "hacked",and i got super scared, re-freshed Yo,and checked whether I had really been hacked.

mine too!! in fact a very generous forumer gave me the coins towards it way back when... i had to go lay down i was so shocked it was like i'd won the lottery

Mizz Libra (136290570) wrote:I have a similar memory,too.
The gothic house I bought entirely out of my own power,from coin runs and working in the Sweets Factory,which was around then.
However once that house was bought,I already had my next goal set.
I had seen some people post their rooms in the Photo album section and had spotted a popcorn machine,for maybe 4 Yocash or so.
So i made a thread in the Trading section,and someone gifted it to me.
It was the same winning the lottery feeling that you described.
