My ROBLOX Story: Part 2 - The 'birth' of Wistfulguest7 !

 Hey guys!! So in Part 1 I've discussed about how I got introduced to the world of ROBLOX and how I instantly fell in love with it. You can read it here if you haven't! In this part I'm going to share the story of my first ever account: Wistfulguest7!

PS. Since this was a reallyyy long time ago, I obviously can't remember every single detail so this may not be that accurate. Also to avoid any confusion, I just wanna clarify that beachsidecutie wasn't originally my account but it was given to me by my amazing friend Aisha <3

This is going to be a bit of a read so grab some snacks, relax and enjoy x

It was November 5th 2012. At that point it had been about a year since I first discovered roblox... and I still was a freaking guest! Yes, it had been a year and I still couldn't figure out how to make an account because I couldn't speak english... european kid struggles :( After 1 year, there were many things I hated about being a guest, but because I don't wanna bore you to death I'm only gonna mention the main two things that bothered me the most:

1. You couldn't customize your character at all! Unless you made an account, you were basically stuck with that boring guest outfit DX

2. You know how you can save your progress in your favorite games right? Well back then us guests didn't have that luxury... This especially really bothered me in "Welcome to ROBLOX building" (remember that game??) which was one of my favorite games back then. I remember spending AGES building all kinds of 'marvelous' buildings: castles, tree houses, spaceships, you name it! Hell I even built the Titanic one time (or atleast tried to, and wasn't very successful...) But since I didn't have an actual account the buildings would never save. Everytime I left the game and rejoined it the next day, my masterpiece would go POOF! It was all gone D:

So after a year of being 'wronged' for being a guest, I've had ENOUGH! I BEGGED my mom (who wasn't very tech savvy and barely spoke english herself) to help me make an account. At first she was skeptical because of 'online safety' or whatever but she eventually gave in. In the begining we couldn't figure it out but we slowly started making progress. Now I'm not sure if this actually happened or if I made it up and if you're an OG please tell me if this was an actual thing, but I remember that when I tried making an username that was already taken, roblox would generate a few random usernames that were available... I clicked on one of those usernames and that's how Wistfulguest7 was born!! :D

This is how I looked when I first signed up:

Yes I used to dress like a guy back then o_o

At that moment I was over the moon!! I couldn't believe I finally had my own account after so long :) I remember the first ever game I played on this account was 'Simon Says' then some building game similar to 'Welcome to ROBLOX building'. I think it was this one

After a while I had finally saved up enough tix for a new outfit! This was my first outfit ever:

Remember when the Stage Prop hat was only 50 tix and clothes were only 1-2 tix? Good times :)

This may not be a 'good' outfit by today's standards (or even 2012 standards lol) but back then 7 year old me was SO PROUD of this outfit and thought that I was the coolest kid on the block when in reality I was probably being called a noob left and right... good thing I was totally clueless back then xD

Fun fact: this is how roblox looked on November 6th 2012, one day after I signed up! Unfortunately I couldn't find any pictures of it on the exact day I made the account...

Don't mind the broken thumbnails.. >_>

Oh wow this was quite a read lol. I really hope you enjoyed part 2 & that this series is nostalgic to those who played roblox back then! In the next part I'll be sharing some cringe-worthy outfits I made back then, some games I used to LOVE, and some stories so stay tuned! See y'all next time <3

Kisses! xoxo
