Well then, I suppose I'll start by saying hello all! I'm new here and I will more than likely become a familiar face.
So where to begin... I suppose a brief history? I'm an avid gamer, especially of RPGs and MMORPGs. Been at it since I was a young'n (my grandmother spoiled me). I'm 23, and I live with my girlfriend who also recently joined this forum.

I started playing MMOs when I was around... Oh... 12? Back in 2002 or so? Yeah. The hay-day of Runescape and dial-up internet. Fun times. Switched over to some higher tier ones later on. Eventually finding my way to Final Fantasy XI, which I played for QUITE some time. Had a LOT of fun there. (WTB BLU in FFXIV:ARR)
Eventually a couple things about FFXI pushed me into WoW (mostly the lack of solo-play and PvP in any way, shape, or form). Where I met my lady and also got my first taste of RP. Needless to say? I loved it, the idea had never really occured to me before. Sure I always have that internal RP-mindset monologue when I'm playing MMOs, but to actually act it out? Such a simple notion was completely foreign to me.
Anywhozzle, let's not make this a long-winded event. You may all address me as Selsix or as my friends call me, Sel. And I hope we can all have some fun once this game launches. I know I will be! FFXIV:ARR is astounding, I don't even know how SE did this. They've put in every feature I've ever wanted in an MMORPG. Now I get to have my perfect gameplay WITH my favorite RPG lore-set? I am already addicted.
