This is the story about how I started playing SSO & why I started doing SSO YT videos.
This is a very random & kind of a crazy road
So let's get into it!
How I started playing SSO begins quite dramatically
I'm SO clumbsy IRL!
This whole story actually starts
with me falling down 2,5 meters from a roof
and landed on my ankle!
I'm grateful I didn't hurt my back or my neck
But my ankle that broke the fall?
It got really messed up!
I'm gonna show you a picture taken of my swollen ankle, taken right after the accident.
If you're sensitive - Close your eyes now!
It was so swollen, it looked like a tennis ball lied under my skin!
aaaaand it's gone!
You can open your eyes now!
So, I was hurt pretty badly
and I couldn't walk properly for almost 3 months!
So what do you do when you can't walk?
You sit by your computer!
While my ankle was busted
and I had already begun to get tired of all the games I had on my computer
A friend of mine called Nemi showed me Star Stable
We downloaded it on my computer
and she showed me her account & ran a track
I had never played any horse related game in my life
But I decided to try it out & create my own account.
Dextra Nightstorm on the Swedish server Air Star was born!
This was in March of 2014.
Pretty much as soon as I created the account
I realized you had to pay for things in SSO.
So I bought 100 SC & a month of SR!
I also realized that 100 SC..
Doesn't get you a lot.
Right from the start, I didn't really connect with my starterhorse.
I named it DreamBeam
But because of the brown coat
I always read it as DreamBean xD
I wanted a new horse ASAP!
So I bought the amazing FrostCloud
A Selle Français
To this day, I still see FrostCloud as more of my starterhorse
He's amazing!
The reason I have so many printscreens
is because I was blogging my SSO experience!
I love that I did that, because there's so many memories & information
I would not have remembered by myself!
I never really interacted with other players in the game
I just loved playing it!
Leveling my character by doing quests
and leveling my horses
I got pretty addicted to buying horses!
I also loved doing champs
and because I did them almost every day
I got pretty good!
Even though I had no idea what kind of gear I was supposed to use in the beginning xD
People started to recognice me in the game as the person who always did champs
I trained the ML & Jarla champs, even when there were no champs running
Just so I could get better at them
I was already livestreaming the game WoW at the time
So I started trying out streaming SSO too on Twitch
For xmas 2014, my boyfriend at the time
gave me Vegas Pro
My first ever video editor!
I opened it up & I was so overwhelmed by all the buttons!
What is this?
What do they do?
How does this work?
I had NO idea how to edit videos!
But I started putting up un-edited clips from my livestream on YT.
My most watched video on my channel
with over 100 000 views is one of those
No editing, no proper music
It's just me sitting there for minutes
Waiting for the champ to start
For groups to sort & then me finally doing the champ
Ending with what I was known for at the time:
My silly victory-dances xD
One of the biggest reasons I started putting up videos on YT
was because of the Fjord horse
It had just been added to the game
and at the time, everyone who played KNOW how bugged it was!
The Fjord horse was the first breed in SSO that was speed bugged
and faster then all other horses at the time
However SSO refused to admit that it was faster!
I actually got very angry with them
for saying that the Fjord wasn't speed bugged
So I started making a bunch of videos on YT
Just to trying to make them admit that it was faster
It didn't work
Honestly, I had no idea other people would be interrested in watching them (The videos)
These videos are still getting a lot of views to this day
and sadly a lot of people don't understand that these videos were made years ago
and they do NOT represent how SSO works today!
Even though the date of all video uploads is right underneath them.
Then it happend again.
The American quarterhorse came to SSO
It was even more bugged!
and again I did a lot of videos about how SSO must fix this speed problem.
It was around this time my channel started growing
from a small, unknown Swedish SSO YTer
To a channel with thousands of subscribers!
For the first time I started getting a lot of views from American viewers!
I'm just guessing here..
But maby it was because those videos had 'American' in the title?
The American Quarterhorse? xD
BTW the speed bugged Fjord & the quarterhorse, it's fixed today.
There hasn't been a severley speed-bugged horse since these 2 breeds
The difference between horses in SSO right now is minimal.
You can win champs almost any breed in SSO
and I have tons of guides on how to do that!
Somewhere along this journey I started to love making videos <3
I've always loved being creative & making videos was a whole new medium for me!
For over a year, I made SSO videos for YT every single day.
and I loved it!
at first..
But when you sit & only play SSO and spend hours of editing every day
You don't really have time for anything else
Especially not real-life friends
So after a year of doing daily videos, I was getting burnt out
I missed my real-life friends & my family.
SSO & YT no longer felt as fun as before
It felt like a job & that was not the way I wanted it!
and buying all of these horses got really expensive O.O
So I made a huge decision
To only make videos every 2nd/3rd week.
I was so scared!
I was sure I would loose all my subscribers, since I wouldn't put up videos every day anymore.
But you guys proved me wrong!
When I didn't have the pressure of making videos every single day
I had time to think about what I wanted to do for my next video & how I could improve them!
This resulted in way higher quality videos
and me learning new editing tricks for almost every single video!
and that lead to me getting MORE subscribers instead
because you guys just loved my new high-quality videos
I found my love for making videos again & I'm so thankful I made this big decision <3
So for a year now I've been working hard on learning
new effects, new softwares, going through tons of tutorials & a heap of music
Just to get the perfect songs for my videos!
I'm still learning & I want to keep making better videos each time!
I want to make videos that make you smile
or help you through a difficult quest
I want to make you guys happy
because you make me happy!
It's been a crazy ride & I've learned so much!
Not just about making videos, but about you guys!
Just by talking to you in the comment section
I've never had any thoughts or goals about my channel.
I've just made videos because I loved it
and every time I reach a new high with my sub amount.. I just can't believe it!
I still have a hard time believing I've come this far
So.. This was the crazy story about how I started playing SSO
and how I started this channel that now has over 24 000 subscribers!
If you made it this far: Tell me about how you found my channel & which video made you subscribe to me?
Thank you so much for listening
and thank you for being here
Never forget:
You're beautiful <3
