After exploring the read-only canvas for a while, Rscr stumbled upon YWOT's South Road and followed it all the way to the settlement of "Deep City" at Y:-1000. This awakened his interest in traveling, and over the next two days he would make a longer trip to the Northern outposts of "Sky City" and "Nirvana," which he had heard vague mentions of on his journey down South. The Nirvana pilgrimage proved to be a greatly rewarding experience and was ultimately what got Rscr hooked on YWOT. In particular, he harbors fond memories of the messages left by past travelers, who seemed to form a close community despite not being present at the same time as one another; and of the many hours spent scrolling along a seemingly endless road, not knowing what lies at the end but persisting despite the massive time sink. | After exploring the read-only canvas for a while, Rscr stumbled upon YWOT's South Road and followed it all the way to the settlement of "Deep City" at Y:-1000.

The next few months saw Rscr make further journeys to 10,000 | The next few months saw Rscr make further journeys to the Southern, Eastern and Western Roads of YWOT. At the time he was possibly the first user in the history of the site to go 10,000 coordinates down all four major roads. This was all done while the Mainpage was read-only, however, and he could not leave any messages behind. But he was able to explore the site' still-public subworlds until January 6th, 2021, when the Mainpage was abruptly reopened. | ||
Upon learning of the Mainpage's return Rscr immediately made a second journey to Nirvana. Finally he was able to leave messages of his own among the countless travelers who came before; though he was 14 at the time and not accustomed to writing stuff on the internet, so as of 2025 Rscr cringes heavily at the mere thought of his older writings. A few days later he was invited into the YWOT Explorers community along with several prominent North Road travelers, and this was when his presence on the site truly began. | Upon learning of the Mainpage's return Rscr immediately made a second journey to Nirvana.
