My first day: I learned what my soulstone looked like.

[Melli]

I learned I was not meant to be a caster.

[tinnertaz]

[Archimagus63]

I learned that you could of actually change your appearance as you created the characterr.

My first day was during head start I made a cleric and soon found some friends to play with played so late that I ended up calling work to say I was sick for two days since after 3 I would have needed a dr's note hard to remember all the details since I have played so much since that time 8 years ago I also learned that even death didn't cure curse or blindness(back then it didn't)

[Docgem]

I hate to admit it, but my first day in DDO saw me getting killed more times then I can count on Korthos, and trying every class that was available.

[Lerl]

I learned that it was harder than it looked to play. (I watched my BF play for a while before I started.)

My first day in DDO was years ago during one of the stress test beta events. I found and reported a dupe bug and was rewarded with full beta access for my efforts

Drowning in the pit with the key in the tutorial... I had no idea how to ascend.

My friend got me to play DDO, my first ever MMO (and still the only one I play). He would laugh at me as I had trouble turning my character. Obviously, I rolled a terrible toon as well. I think I rerolled a few times before settling on a cleric - Josiah - who I still play today (and can now be a 32 point build when I get around to it!).

Happy 8th DDO!

[Havok.cry]

My first day in DDO, I ran into a trap and decided this was a better game than any other MMO.

[moomooprincess]

My First Day: My character drowned three times because I kept thinking there was something underwater. This was the old Redemption Quest(forget the name) in the old Harbor. I think I was just suppose to jump in the water and climb out to a door, but for some reason I thought I was supposed to swim to the other side of the fenced in area, UNDERWATER. Since it was blocked, and I was wearing plate mail, I kept drowning. Boy, did I feel dumb when I realized what I was supposed to do.

Luckily, I was learning on my own and I was not with anyone else so they could see how much of a noob I was.

On my first day goodblades extorted me, to let me out of the harbor.

[Vorn]

Moments after the servers went live I was busy creating my "elf" version of my favorite PnP character. His gear was terrible, but fortunately he ran into Lord Goodblade who helped him out with his first weapon, a magic sword!!! He went most of the day before finding some armor and a better sword. I think he got cursed in Shan To Kor and no one could remove it until some cleric passerby took pity--though that may have been later.

Good times!

Happy anniversary DDO!

[ecgric]

Ah yes, my first day on Korthos Island as a young elf bard. I met a halfling named Jeets. To this day, I'm still fairly certain he stole all my equipment.

[PuppiesAndRainbows]

I remember thinking every hireling vendor required real world money.
It was a long time before I discovered they could be bought with plat.

[Urjak]

My first day in DDO: What the heck are "enhancements"? And: Who would have guessed that my beloved crossbow is useless for an arcane in DDO?

[Xaxx]

My first day was back in early 2006, when I decided to roll a cleric. Healer or pet class is always the easiest to learn the base of an mmo i'v found. Before the day was out Euphonia had pet me through her garbage disposal, "Lord" Goodblade almost got my blade up a certain spot. Finally I learned the number 1 rule of ddo healing pugs..... you cant heal stupid. It was still a good day, what else can you ask for 8 years and so many thousands of hours later?

*please never NEVER add a /time played command to ddo.....
