For me, it was a bunch of other noobs, most of which a) don't log on anymore or b) I don't talk to.
My fiance and his brother were already in world by the time I got here in June.

Virtual_Vicki.
I spawned, walked a little bit, VV walks up. "HI. I'm giving away free raffle tickets."
About a minute later she was calling out some raffle number. I was confused as all git. I think she eventually figured out I must have had it by process of elimination. I won a "Student Driver" buggy.
I had a buggy within about 4 minutes of arriving in there before I even figured out anything.

I have no idea where I spawned to. I know I ended up in a club and met Yugo, he was/is a helper. He pulled my name from a list and give me a book that is supposed to answer all my questions. I still have not looked at it.
I only recently ran into him at Zypher. Turns out he is a high school student. At first I thought he was like a god. 
Right after that I met Sugarie and I still bug the crud out of her! She was a great help and took me to the Spa. BOINCer, but you may call me Bo

The_Geek was the first person I met....I was a newb and he took me under his wing, taught me how to walk, showed me a couple of places, etc, and finally I was able to pay him back but a small bit by cheering him on in the Mr There contest, which he won! ''yay
I have met some wonderful ppl in There, what happy days 'wistufl look All hail Queen Mackie!

Besides my helper MBonilla13, I met Wesley222 and Glitterophelia my first night. I was in white and tans, and I saw them both in amazing outfits and hair... and I wanted to be just like them! 
Soon after I met KatjaB & Chanty, who denoobified me with great duds and even greater company.  "Life is too short to ask directions."

Man, I miss TheGeek. Haven't seen him since like early PB2.
When I started I entered some group conversations, so I didn't really meet anyone specifically. The only person I remember seeing who still plays today was Deathany. There Catalog

The first few people I met in There were Ross_Johnson, AdamD and Huntress. Huntress is the only one of the 3 that I've seen lately and when I first signed on, she was nice enough to buy me an outfit and hairdo!
My real life friend, who also has an avatar in There, was the one that referred me to There. His avie name is Gary_Green. http://www.darkfury.net/fff.html

I remember being all excited when my brand-new There was opening for the first time. Then I was in a green place with some trees and huts farther off. (Typical, right? Could have been anywhere) I rotated my avie in a full circle. Then I stood for a while and wondered what I should do now? Then some people walked by. One looked just like me and one had cool clothes and hair. I saw the words "newbie" and "change look" and "Spa" floating above their heads. I was so lost that I just followed them and was like: "I'm new too and have no idea whats up can you take me along?". And they did. They were really nice too.
I dont rember their names though. This was because Greeter_Vash summoned me about 10 minutes later when I was in the Spa and I just clicked Accept and never saw the people who helped me again. 
So Greeter_Vash is the first person who's name I remember. The second and third is Virtual_Vikki and Disky. They had come to talk to Greeter_Vash who was leaving to meet his next class, and when he poofed away they pretty much continued the Tour for me. Vikki took me to some places and Egypt. And when I said I had heard of the "Famous Designer Virtual_Vikki" before I even got into the game (from this forum probably) she gave me a shirt! Ookay, so it was just an "Adept Socializer" shirt, (which is pretty funny cause I was new! but I didnt know and didnt care, and it made me really happy to have TWO shirts!!!  Never Knows Best...

Well, when I first got on, I goofed off by myself for about 3 days only talking randomly to a few people. This is normal for me when playing a new multiplayer game... just get myself learning how to do stuff. I was never contacted by a greeter or helper or anything (I was suprised to learned such things existed later). Anywho, the first people I actually remember hanging out with and being helped by would be Rosie, Melynn, and Kieran_Surfpuff. I had just decided to go to an event cus I figured some social interaction would be good. I popped over to Rosie's house because it seemed to have just few enough people for me not to be too shy. Anywho, while there Rosie learned that Kieran and I were kinda new to the game, so she took us around on a tour of places. Melynn caught up to us in the middle, I believe we were at Bali Hai at the time and she tagged along as well. After that I pretty much hung out at Rosie's all the time. Didn't talk to Melynn much for a while, but then a chance meeting at Aero Lounge and another one the next day got us hanging out again . I still am around Melynn quite a bit (pretty much all the time... waiting for her to get tired of me and kick my butt out) and if Melynn isn't on for some reason, I'm probably around rosie's, so I guess I come down to being either boring or loyal, you pick  .

The first avatar I met in world was Vyrjames --- We have kept in touch everday since then...that would have probably been late June.
Although, I was using one of my friend's avatars, she still was consistent with making sure her buddies are still alive luv ya mama

Hmm...very first...I have no idea where I spawned...I just remember this person riding around in a hoverbike and my avi flying everywhere lol. Then Weedie came to talk to me - and I know her from a forum I belong to. Then my friend Pugs saw I was on instantly messaged me and summoned me - so it was her, Tzitzimeme, and Dovey who I hung with first

My first night of There is really a blur because I played for 16 straight hours after I logged in for the first time. The only thing that really sticks out about that night is I went to a party at txpartyof5 and daredevil's house. Even though I reeked of n00b-ness, they were very nice and helpful.
(...fast forward to two weeks later and I run across bama on tu.com. she is the reason im SOO corrupted now ) http://vanno.thereinperson.com
If I was to suffer, let it continue. One day a blessing will come.

I spawned somewhere, not quite sure, but I was confused out of my mind nonetheless. I was walking through the crowds of avatars and eventually ran into the avatar Karyu. He showed me the ropes and how to get around and lent me his buggy.
Thanks Karyu,
Hope to see you again soon.

The first person I met was Minai (in the form of LeeLoo that day). She immediately left her chat group to help me when I said I was new. She took me to a spa and showed me how to customize my body. Then she gave me clothes! I was blown over by her kindness, but wait, it doesn't end there! Then she led me outside of Karuna and showed me buggies, boards and hoverpacks and let me try out one of each myself. Then she took me to see Egypt and showed me around the tomb.
She was very helpful and I'm still grateful for the time she took to teach me about There. Everyone needs to meet a Minai their first time in There!

i didn't talk to anyone more than five seconds when i first started playing.. i guess the first person i remember was a guy named Idti who lent me his board. then i spent about 3 days boarding around in my store-bought black tankini and my khaki cargos. haha.
the first memorable person who actually gave me the time of day was Kaeli. she's still one of the awesomest chicks i've met in there. i think a lot of the early people i met.. well, i think i scared them into the point where they stop talking to me. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK-----

I think Lukas was my first.
