The entire first four rows of my Buddy list (and most of the next few as well) comprises former GNE players or devs. I was just so happy to find a game where we could interact again.
And, yes. They appear in the order in which you befriended them.
My first buddy was/is Sofywofy, a fellow Faunasphere refugee who helped me jump the queue into First Beta after what seemed like ages and ages of waiting to get an invite. For awhile there I was afraid I'd never get inside!
Myles is the first on my list, but there were a few others who dropped out along the way and whom I removed.
(Couldn't bear to see them in their dingy underwear every time I logged on! lol)
The list of your buddies who are currently online, that is visible on the game screen when you are in the game, is in alphabetical order, just below the list of groups you belong to, which is also in alphabetical order.
However, on the web pages, those lists are ordered from earliest to latest. The first person in your friends page is the first person that you added to your buddy list. If you remove them and add them back, they will go to the bottom of that page.
steve contreras and tina hoffman. we had become neighbors in another game and when i heard about glitch i followed them here. they are a great couple - really nice people.
Actually, I was not invited by anyone. I found it on the news. Yahoo news. They said it was a great free game that is quite addicting. My type of game. So I joined! And invited 3 other people when I did. :D
EDIT: So I guess this makes Yahoo news my best buddy?
My soon to be stepson. I met him and got to know him on here a while back. He lives around 12 hours away so this is how I came to realize hes pretty awesome. He is Hayden on here. And my fiancee Eric is Tony Twinkle on here. Which still makes me giggle.
MisAdventure is first on my List! She is a long time friend from another game and I was very happy to meet her (and about 300+ others from the same game) here! Stoot is second only to MA - Lol!
The first person I added to my buddy list was EYE WONDER. I met her playing smallworlds a few years back. She is awesome. She showed me how to play this game (just like she did in smallworlds lol)
As far as whos first on my buddy list....I have no clue. Couldnt tell you. I really need to delete like 90 percent of it cuz I have no clue who any of them are most of the time rofl.
I was in an herb garden long ago, when ab3xt was putting guano on all the plants. I would plant a seed and he would guano it. He also gave me my first telescript...to an herb garden! I didn't know about guano or telescripts back then.
Serendipity Bliss but that was back when I was Mervin Shunter.
My favorite friend related piece of trivia is that I'm Sirentist's 12th friend and she's my 12th friend.
That was back before she was friends with everyone :)
Mine is Nalyn but she isn't how I got here. Before here, there were about 5 other people who've I've since removed as friends. Yes, that includes the two people who actually invited me. They don't play and pretty much stopped playing April of last year, so I removed them, as I do all inactives everywhere.
ETA: I'm now going through my list again and found one I missed, a Level 1 who stopped playing in June of last year.
Myself, a total of 12 times. This was about a month before the staff outright said to not make alts for houses, and I did stop using them after staff said so.
anyways, the first 2 I had eventually planned on using (though abandoned now with the release of img) and had them each buy different looking houses (1 had the better video game house, 1 had a large swamp house). eventually, I wanted herbs, so I made 10 alts in a row, and bought out all 10 houses on the same swamp street. I used that for about 1 week before the notice came that you shouldn't use alts this way, so I sold the houses, took the money back, and abandoned them.
and so that's where my first 12 friends came from :P
Hathaway! My sister who invited into the game - she thought it would give me something to do to relieve my boredom and keep my brain active. She was RIGHT : )
The first person on my buddy list is Britti, who stopped playing on Oct. 12th. I friended her simply because I needed someone on my buddy list to mail a letter to so that I could complete that quest.
The second person on my buddy list is my girlfriend who I invited to play Glitch. I am still trying to get her back into playing regularly.
Bitterroot was my first friend... he sent me a gem (which I reciprocated with honey, an item I thought was rare at the time), but I never actually talked to him and I don't think he's been around in awhile :( I think my first still-active friend is arizoo, however.
After me asking millions of questions in Global when I first joined the game, elf helped me around the game and gave me a a bag full of some cool items.
My first buddy is rachaelah and I bet I am her first. We met and exchanged mail for one of the earliest quests. I got me some great Glitchy friends - my friends list makes me smile from the good memories anytime I look at it.
