Hydaelyn Role-Players

Good afternoon everybody, forum-dwellers and lurkers alike. I have to say, I've waded through a number of community sites over the years, for this game and that, and it goes without saying that this is one of the more finely polished I've seen. Which I suppose shouldn't be too much of a surprise, given the quality of the game itself, and the hospitality I've seen from the community therein.

Bah! But enough kissing of the backside, my name's Briggs. Or, that's my handle anyhow. You guys should feel free to refer to me as Matt if you'd like. I'll be sure to respond to whatever you have to say. I've been a roleplayer (and MMO player) for roughly ten or so years now - give or take - with my most recent experiences having been in Guild Wars 2 and World of Warcraft, as well as various other smaller hotspots such as Mortal Online, The Secret World, Rift, and Eve. 

Being blunt: it's been a while since I've actually settled down and done some real heavy immersion dipping. Drama and hardships along with the general lethargy of being burnt out from the same-thing same-deal has put me off of my big two. Lack of community (as a whole) involvement or just general boredom, the rest. Most of what I've done the past couple of months consists of monologue with the occasional story snippet hidden away on the hardrive. 

But times are changing and I want to get back into it. I miss the excitement - the thrill of active roleplay and working with people. I'd been following ARR's developments for a few months now and finally decided to give it a shot with the beta-prepurchase deal a few short weeks ago, and I've been enjoying the heck out of it. Be it the class design, game mechanics or general campiness you see displayed in many of the quests ingame, I'm enjoying it all. To add to that, it all feels extremely fluid and polished, very atypical for an MMO*.

Anyway, I'll stop my rambling. Been doing enough of that. It's a pleasure to meet you lot and I'm looking forward to meeting you guys, be it here or ingame. Hopefully both. Lastly, I'm down for just about anything, whether it's roleplay, dungeons, leves, or what have you.



Oh! Before I forget...
I've made the decision to roll on Balmung, and if you ever want to reach me, just look up Nolan Briggs.
