When and where did you start rping?

[Jackstack]

A little over four years ago on the Undead Labs forum. I knew I wanted to write stories with people, but didn't know it was called "RPing". I went to the Undead Labs forum to find out what city was beyond Trumbull Valley, because I thought I was Pittsburgh, it wasn't. I looked around a little bit, and found the off-topic section, and there was a subsection for "Games". I was curious on what that entailed, and I I found the RPs. I thought "Just what I'm looking for" and started writing. I was horrible because I didn't get the ins-and-outs first, but was able to RP decently by the fifth RP.

Around the year 2000, in an IRC channel. Though at the time I didn't quite consider it roleplay.

I done it many years ago on neopets but lost interest but now I'm wanting to get back into role-playing. I also had an account on here many years ago then quit and now I'm back with a new account

I started out on Youtube when I was younger. It was back when Trance and Dream Trance were a big thing and people often used this streaming site to host groups for certain Trance Music artists where people roleplayed and chatted. I left after an encounter with someone very obsessive, and moved on to a mobile game site a year or two later. Then a year or two after that I came to Rpnation under a different account in Nov. 2014.

Oh gosh, the memory just makes me smile! When I was 12, I was really into Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. I had liked a ton of pages dedicated to the fandoms, and every so often, they’d play games to give points to your house/district. One time, they decided to do a hunt on Omegle where you had to type in ‘Harry Potter’ into your interests, ask a certain question when you were connected to someone, and then you’d get points if you connected with the mod. So, I went on that search, and was connected with someone who posted a rp starter. After a while, I began replying to those, and I was hooked. So, I rped there for 3/4 years before going to Chatzy, then to here!

I first officially started roleplaying when I was in...good lord, elementary school. I had some friends who were big into Hetalia and I got suckered into making cringey OCs out of every island we could find that had a name on a world map. I used to roleplay on Chatzy, then hit up a few roleplay sites until my most recent one went for a long maintenance period and I came crawling here.

Like 10 or 11 on Wattpad (I'm currently 16 almost 17 ) and omg it was cringe, but I like to think I've improved, if only somewhat.

 

[freshslicedbread]

Ooooh! I started when I was 11-12 on Quizilla with really bad OCs. I think I've matured enough, and thank god they shut down quizilla... I can only imagine what I posted there...

Roblox Forums. They closed it down due to outrage due to bad updates and trolls

Before I even knew what roleplaying was, when I was like 9 I found chat forums. I was way too young lmao

Ah, I remember back when I was a wee lad that I would RP in the old land known as MangaFox. Anyone here know the PokeSpe FC? It was a huge group forum thing back then. It was so big that we even had a fan club about our fan club. Lots of Pokemon based roleplays back then.

There were also tons of Sonic based RPs with my cousin on Facebook. Lots of awful Sonic OCs

This is going to be one hell of a throwback, you ain't ready for this one:
I was ten years old and it was on Stardoll. That game for girls (and boys) and I joined a club and somebody taught me the basics. We lost contact but when I turned eleven I joined another roleplay club called 'Royal High' and I made some friends there who I still have contact with. We have eachother's Instagram, Emails etc and we turned sixteen together which was nice, knowing them for so long.

Then I moved onto Polyvore, where I still roleplay on and now, here I am, occasionally logging in to reply to the one roleplay which I'm involved in. Damn, those cringey roleplays and OOCs make me want to gauge my eyes out just thinking about them but my vocabulary has definitely improved and I roleplay more realistically now. Back then, fires burning down schools, falling out with best friends and a school fight happened all in one day.

I'm hearing places where I never even know people could or would roleplay x'D That's weird as hECK!

I started out in the terrible land of Neopets. Back in the day... so, so long ago... It was scary. So scary. The days when you had to use -c- and -d- to signify you were done replying x'D Or not...
It was
...
a thing.
I can't even log into my old neopets to see if I can see any of my scary old replies x'D

I started back when I was about 17 on Chatango. Good times~

Chatango used to be so good, back in the day. I guess I started on there too, but moved to forum roleplay pretty quickly after - all around 8 years ago I think. It's a shame how Chatango is now.

 

[cherub.]

I started about when I was eleven, doing 1x1 roleplays through the pm system on cellufun (Now called Tylted, I think? Or was called that for a period of time). I didn't really know what I was doing, didn't know that it was roleplay, I just really enjoyed it since it was like writing a story.

The first time I ever consciously roleplayed was on TinierMe with a group of people in a chat room when I was about 14. It was pretty fun. A roleplay about various supernatural creatures who go to highschool.
