I see how it is

RE: RP Confession Thread - Talan Dracht - 08-22-2015

I. I hate going into new RP communities, it means getting to learn hidden traditions, unspoken rules, and (eventually) finding out the bad apples of the community.

II. On the flipside, I love exploring new RP communities as I get to meet tons of people I never would have had the chance of meeting! This brings along so many new opportunities to create new stories, characters, and even improve the quality of my own writing by collaborating with others!

III. The few times I've RPed so far, I've been very anxious whenever anything lore-related comes up mainly because I have next-to-no clue on most of it and don't wish to convey a character that wouldn't (though that may be a possibility).

IV. I seriously want to RP a Chocobo Knight, but I know that dream is probably never going to come true. I have been informed that my dream can come true and I will eventually hatch into a beautiful Chocobo Knight.

RE: RP Confession Thread - Meena - 08-22-2015

I get nervous when I think about planning new events, eventually I just think no one will care and don't even post about them anymore. While secretly hating myself because well - lets be honest, I should at least ask.

RE: RP Confession Thread - Edda - 08-24-2015

7) As it might be apparent in (most of) my posts here on the RPC, I very much enjoy lighthearted humor and kidding around. Laughter is the best medicine, and though my sense of humor does not always translate well over text, I enjoy making people smile. However, that does not mean I don't take my RP very seriously. In fact, I take it very seriously, and I expect the same courtesy extended to me from all those I play with. I do the same for everyone, as I know both myself and many others put a tremendous amount of time and energy into their roleplay.

With that being said, I will confess my number one song listened to during intense and dramatic scenes is this:

Why? It is a mystery.

RE: RP Confession Thread - Arter Wood - 08-24-2015

Accidentally running through RPers. I don't notice they're RPing until an emote or something goes out in chat.. 5 minutes later.

RE: RP Confession Thread - Khunbish Avagnar - 08-25-2015

Getting awkward about RP events like...sitting off to the side and not knowing a thing about how to join in or interact resulting in me just sitting there interacting and RPing with my Coeurl Kitten minion. Then leaving 'cause I start getting upset

RE: RP Confession Thread - Greybarren - 08-25-2015


  1. I don't play the game with nameplates.  So yes, I could very well breeze by your character without even a nod.  Nameplates are just too much visual clutter for me and honestly, removing them makes the game feel more immersive.
  2. Melodrama.  Sometimes, I'm just a sucker for it because HEY, it's all pretend anywho and it can be fun in the right amounts at the right time.
  3. While I am not a grammar nazi nor perfect at it in any sense, I cannot stand to be involved in RP where the other person seems incapable of capitalizing the personal pronoun "I".  Everything else could be perfect about RPing with this person:  deep character, awesome plot, etc.  But that thing ... that one lack of effort will drive me away from RPing with the player.
  4. I "need" to watch RP in the open world sometimes before just walking in.  Especially on new characters.  It's like getting my bearings in a new car, in a way.

[quote pid=203922 dateline=1439220567]
...Not really a confession since pretty much everyone knows that at this point, but... I roll my eyes and grimace every time I stumble on someone who feels the need to share their romantic/sexual RP-related actions in /em or /s... It's like having a couple kissing next to you and you can't look away (because the chatlog is there). I don't judge the people doing it, but the action, oh I do judge the action much. Eyeroll all the way. Rolleyes

Sometimes it's fun!

One of my favorite SWTOR memories is of leaving the neutral club/tavern and seeing a Sith guy and Jedi girl RPing a furious drunken makeout session in an alley. At the time, each faction had separate /say channel, so everything was happening in /em.

After a few minutes, their respective groups of friends came running and started milling around the entrance, both alternating between expressing their dismay at this most unholy union, angrily blaming the other party for letting their friend get too wasted, and begging the duo, "PLEASE, _____, let's just GO HOME!!"
It all felt much more realistic and human(oid) than the typical "stoic Jedi disdain" and "seething Sith hatred", you know?

RE: RP Confession Thread - Desitjant - 08-25-2015

When I started roleplaying, I was surprised at the number of people I met that expressed unease at the prospect of roleplaying a character opposite to their RL gender. I can understand where the sentiment comes from, but the idea of "gender-bending" was foreign to me.

If I have a concept, I choose the gender, race, class, etc. that seems like the best fit. No different than a character in book or a play!


Incidentally, the biggest influence on my favorite RP character to date was Olivia Dunham from "Fringe" - whom I would place among the greatest female protagonists in SciFi, ever. It's so easy to forget that she's a character played by an actress, and not an actual person - pure magic.

RE: RP Confession Thread - Rufus Wightman - 09-21-2015

I'm just gonna go off the assumption that this topic covers more than just FFXIV RP. In which case...

1. Looking back, as most RPers would find, my first forays into RP were fucking atrocious. The kind of thing I'd slap myself silly for trying these days. But it's nice to see how I've improved over the 5 or so years I've been RPing.

2. I'm honestly not that great when it comes to progressing my character. I can never really seem to find the right hook or moment or willing participants to form any kind of development plot. It's kinda sad, in all honesty.

3. I tend to get quite bored rather easily when I'm trying to RP, but there isn't much to be had in the way of interactions. Say I'm at the Quicksand, and it's bustling. I try to approach someone, and the attempt is cast off for any number of reasons, I'm rather quickly to get fed up and just leave thinking, "I can always come back tomorrow, I guess..."

4. I put FAR too much effort into food-preparation emotes. To the point where I actually make myself hungry just reading it back.

5. I sometimes worry that my range of vocabulary is not as wide as it could be. I often get the feeling that I'm repeating myself when it comes to emotes. I suppose I just find a few select words that work well for me and stick to them, but the amateur writer in me is silently criticizing away for it.

Top fun!

RE: RP Confession Thread - Jean L - 09-22-2015

1. I'm really, really, really shy so I actually haven't RPed as much as I'd like to in FFXIV aside from with two friends who are taking a break from the game Q_Q
2. I haven't RPed on any other MMO before FFXIV
3. I prefer being improve heavy vs tons and tons of plotting. Plotting is fun but I don't like getting every single detail down during it. Plotting every interaction, every reaction, that's not really fun at all.
4. I play characters that are kind of snarky or snippy and I'm deathly afraid that someone will blend IC and OOC. (but I still play those characters because they're the most fun)

RE: RP Confession Thread - Zetchryn - 09-22-2015

I often get worried that some of my favorite RPers just don't want to deal with my shit.


I worry that poking some RPers that I want to RP with every so often is going to come across as stalkerish.

I worry that I'm a bad person for RPing villainous characters.

RE: RP Confession Thread - Steel Wolf - 09-22-2015

I confess that I'm exhausted of RP'ing in this game and I dunno if I wanna do it no more.

That said, there are some truly beautiful people I have met in this game and I owe it to them to keep on keepin' on regardless.
