Hydaelyn Role-Players

We all start somewhere. Where did you all started rping, note that rp doesn't really need to be as seriously rping and just something that could be considered a rp.


My start in rp was seriously embarassing. I started rping on Orkut and Habbo Hotel. Yes, laugh it up, my character was a student from a Harry Potter Hotel room when I was 10, I wasted so much money on Habbo Club I feel embarassed.
And the character I rped on Orkut...god...why do I need to remember.



KILL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

San Andreas Multiplayer for me when it was like first released as the mod, a few years later I moved to like several other games till oh so many many many years later I'm now here at FFXIV.

On XIV a little over a year ago. Had no experience up until that point,  but has been awesome overall. 
;v

World of Warcraft, about seven to eight years ago. I share your feelings on the character I roleplayed... shudder. Never again.

she was a perfect angel blood elf with no flaws who was secretly a high elf and her sole purpose was to romance a hot guy because she was hot enough to have like, twenty, so that guy better be hotter than her and somehow be Apollo the sun god because haha gods > humans.

Neverwinter Nights persistent worlds, which is about...13 years ago. Wow. Excuse me, just going to have a midlife crisis quickly... I moved onto WoW (Darkmoon Faire and Argent Dawn EU) 8 years or so ago, then GW2 (Piken Square EU) for awhile and WildStar briefly before settling here.

We'll just say I started RPing back in 97/98ish in Yahoo's chat system. The "realm" was called Ayenee, which had an anything-goes modern/medieval vibe of vampires, knights, the like. It had an offshoot realm of anime RPers called Nerima. 

...I won't go further into detail than that, but there were some really good (and horrid) RPers there. I still keep in touch with a lot of them. It's nice to catch back up with old friends and see how they've grown from our old high school days.

From there, I moved to World of Warcraft upon its initial release as my first MMO RP experience. I was on the Silver Hand server, and later moved to Moon Guard when WotLK released. I was Alliance on both.

The Sims Online and Ultima Online circa 2002-2003. I have actually had the same (main) character for years, she matures and changes with each new place but I am quite happy with her. Maybe one day I will make a version on FFXIV.

December 2013 on XIV, Coffer and Coffin event. Transferred from Coeurl to Balmung. Good times.

World of Warcraft, back in 2007, on the wonderful server Ravenholdt.  My roommate at the time got my girlfriend (also at the time xD) and I into both the game and the concept of RP, though previously I had experience with reading and writing fanfiction. The transition felt pretty natural. Maybe that, and the fact that I didn't start until I was older and much more knowledgable, is why I knew to stay away from the typical traps that new roleplayers fall into. I feel no shame about my first character - actually a bit of pride - and still roleplay her even to this day!

Ah nostalgia... I wish I could go back to those years sometimes. They were super fun.

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons when I was twelve. It was actually an after school club with one of my teachers. My parents didn't approve, so I had to be super sneaky about it. After a while, they were cool with it. I managed to convince them that it wasn't satanic, and that there were much more dangerous things I could be doing. Of course, I didn't tell them that by that time I had moved on to Vampire: the Masquerade, buuuut... well they found out eventually anyway. Haha! To this day I play tabletop RPGs every chance I get.

My first online RP was in AOL. I was actually in a group centered around RPing in the SWAT Kats universe. Ah, man, the SK AOL RPG. From there I dabbled in all kind of other stuff. Online V:tM, some Rhydin chats. Eventually I got into MMO's and RP'd in Earth and Beyond and FFXI.

My first full on RP started with the release of this, me being an avid 2000AD fan.

Thet lead to DnD, LARP and on-line BBS then CompuServe. Many many Computer RPGs and my first MMO was WoW when that came out.

FF11 chat rooms Officially anyways. From there it went to MSN Groups, Hexrpg, messengers, and then WoW during the begining of my senior year in high school.

Awww last one Nebula hosted was the November 2013 one.. but it clearly worked for you

memories.. awww

AOL Chat Rooms, and the old text-based MMOs Gemstone and then later Dragonrealms. That was - what - when I was in Middle school about 15 years ago? *shakes cane at all the whippersnappers*

Dungeons & Dragons in the 6th grade. We were doing the DragonLance modules, and soon moved on to Forgotten Realms which I would revisit later in Neverwinter Nights on a few different PW's, like Myth Drannor and Tales of the Silver Marches.

My first online role-playing experience was on this game, back when it was called GemStone III, on AOL sometime in 1994 or 1995. I still resubscribe every now and then to play with old friends.
