My first time playing maple story

My first time playing a game online (Maplestory)

I thought it would be fun to tell the story of the first time I played an online game.

Back in 2005 when I got a computer for the first time I had a lot of fun looking up jokes and playing flash games because thats what computers where used for back then. But I kept seeing this ad everywhere for this new exiting game where you get to play with other people online and you got to walk around in this world to meet new people. Now I thought this was the coolest thing ever so I decided to check it out.

When I first started the game I wasn't really sure what I was doing. I created a character and dressed him up in some cool cloths, but not too cool because I was totally into the whole "I don't care what people think of me" phase so I went with semi casual wear to make it seem like "whatever, I just chose the first thing that they offered".

After creating the character and looking through the options I found this option to go to a town or something. I dont remember exactly what it was but the next second I was placed in a room with other people, who were all walking around and talking to each. I just remember thinking how cool it was that these were all real people walking around. Now all chat was public so I pretty much just went around listening in on other peoples conversations when I heard someone say "Stay away from district x, there's a whole bunch of people cybering". Now I had no idea what cybering was but it sounded exciting and I knew I wanted to try it.

So I walk around until I stumble upon this district x. As soon I get there this female avatar comes up to me and asks "Hey, do you want to cyber?" and i was like "Sure, but I'm not sure how".  She said "thats fine I'll show you, just follow me into that house over there" and I said "ok" and we went inside.

there was already 2 other people in this house so we went into a corner. Our avatars stood face to face and she started kneeling and standing up over and over and told me to do the same. I told her that I did not know how to kneel so she told me to just press the space bar. So we're kneeling in front of each other over and over when she starts typing out "oh, oh yah, uh, uh, oh baby" I immediately stopped doing the kneeling dance and it finally hit me what cybering meant. Cybering was just short for cybersex and it was super weird.

So the female avatar keeps going up and down, typing out her grunts and moans and says "I'm taking off my cloths now, what do you want to do to me?" and I was like "yep, I'm done. I typed out "this is really weird" and walked out of the house, logged out and never played the game ever again.

and that ladies and gentlemen, is the story of the first time I played an online game.
