Did you join School Roleplay alone, or in a group?: I joined alone! But back when I joined stuff was lil different :D
If you joined alone, are you proud of the people you met along the way? Well, not all of them, but they have taught me a lot along the way! Whether for the best or for the worst, many of the defining traits I have are from groups that I was a part of!
If you joined in a group, are they still playing? Are you all still close friends: I didn't have a group, but back when I joined there was this silly thing that used to be done! Not sure if any of the older players remember it, but:
Basically, you'd join the server and directly at spawn, right in front of the school gates, where the guy who gave you your allowance was, often older players, would wait! They'd ask you if you'd want to hang out and then show you around, explaining commands, rules, and the map. (Something I really miss nowadays). I stayed with the group for a tiny bit till I branched out on my own, I sadly don't even remember their IGNs, nor do I know if they even still play, but I do appreciate them making my first experience with SRP a positive one :D
