February 2007 for the real start (I briefly lone wolfed PRMM 0.3 months before) for the release of PR 0.5, I found a good squad leader on Ejod Desert and the map with the sand storm.
Even though I was a little pissed off by the overpowered sniper rifles/DMR, I got really hooked to the mod and kept loving it more and more after each patch (except for 0.7 and 0.8 :mrgreen :)

But it still was "Project Reality" with the same name, logo etc :)
lol derp. I meant I was using a different username.

I don't remember my first first time, was quite a long time ago, must be more than 4 years, although my very recent one was not the hottest. I decided to play PR once again since the 1.0v was released. I was really hyped for it and got many of my friends to also give it a try. I first joined the Tactical Gamer server on launch day and had quite the bad time. I mean, the server had atrocious lag and rubber banding along with the bad frame rate on Dovre, not to mention I didn't really know what I was doing. I soon learnt the the issue was not Dovre. In fact, almost every map which is played runs with a rather low fps. I've spent hours on this forums and others to attempt to find a solution but have had no luck in fixing it. Hope future new/re-comers have a better first impression and better experience with the game than I have had. To me, 1.0 is Broken and sadly very hard to enjoy.

The only thing I remember was constantly getting kicked out of (for messing up) and then reinvited to dbzao's squad. It took me a long time to drop the habit of trying to spot (Q+LMB) enemies.

It went pretty much like this:

I joined =HOG= Muttrah 24/7 started playing there learned all i knew from =HOG= Blazen. Still remember Thinking what the hell does a shovel do.

Guys kept saying don't move your gun around alot and listen for the enemy. I was thinking Listen? what is this madness.

I hated it until I started to play with people who I trusted.

I think it was .6? Sometime 2008 I heard about it in BF2 and tried it. Played what I think was Karbala. First thing I did was run for the unused apache, thinking, "Can't believe no one has taken this beauty of a model. Oh boiohboi!" I shortly after capsized on the pad and was rather impolitely informed through voip how much of a waste I was. I promptly departed the server, thinking I would never be capable. :'(
I came back sometime for .8, made my SL proud, and have lived a happily ever after PR life.
Moral of the story? Please be accepting of the noobs. If not for what they are, then for who they are: Capable, potential, innocent(well, maybe not), but uneducated players.

Ramiel, skirmish. I join a squad but alas my mic isn't set up, they can't hear me so I get removed to make room. Resentful and bitter, I take the mantle of "blue guy" with a point to prove, that I can be a team asset! So I run up the road 12 times and die due to the unfortunate circumstances that someone decided to take the proper time to aim. The round ended, it was late, I hate school in the morning.

I returned three days later anyway

I downloaded the mod 3 years ago without knowing that it has its focus on teamplay etc. . I joined a server, i think the map was iron ridge, spawned in, grabbed a sniper kit (yes...i really did... ), and wondered how big the map is and that i wouldn't find somebody to shoot in 10 years :) Finally, i spotted another wookie in the woods, took my pistol out and tried to shoot him. I missed him, he didn't even realize that i was shooting at him and he just walked past me. When i finally got him, i just thought "weird game" and quit :D ...and came back later.

Yes, I do want that mode back. (I wasn't here for it, but I have heard good things about it.)
