Greetings folks! - rl_icewolf - 04-05-2014

Hey everyone, I am new to this site and am just returning to RPing after having not done any for a long long time. I am currently on Cactuar and am wanting to transfer to one of the two RPing servers (from what I read I am leaning towards Gilgamesh, but am open to suggestions). I figure I will just use the Welcome Desk Template and if anyone thinks I should add more I am open to anything extra.

--MMORPG background
I have played many of the popular mmo's out there as well as a few MUDs, I haven't RPed too much since back around the vanilla WoW days, and since then only DMing a few D&D campaigns.
--RP experience
I have RPed in smaller groups mostly across a few games never with too large of over-involved plot lines sadly(in any PC game). I have put together several moderately well received campaigns for D&D but have never been a PC in one. I should also mention for awhile I did a fair amount of Chat Room RPing and pure one on one RPing.
--Character ideas/info
I have a general idea of how I want to lay out my character, but want to learn more of the world before I elaborate too much on it.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
Was looking into what servers are good for RPing!
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
I believe the freelance describes me the best as of right now. I am interested in participating in all of the different levels depending on how well I mesh with any current groups.
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
Web Developer, no school thank goodness heh, I am generally a very open person so feel free to ask anything, and I usually enjoy helping people. Beyond that feel free to ask anything you want. oh suppose I should add the standard I am a male, 27 years old, living in Utah.

Welcome to the party bro. I started on Cactuar myself at launch and headed to Balmung asap. Have fun.

Balmung's what's up.


RE: Greetings folks! - Zhavi - 04-05-2014

Woo, MUDs! The very first rp experience I ever had was on a MUD. Welcome in and don't be afraid to poke around -- there are lovely people on both servers (though, admittedly, I'm a bit biased towards Balmung Wink ).


RE: Greetings folks! - rl_icewolf - 04-07-2014

Well it looks like I am going to transfer over to Balmung then thats 2 to none. heh


RE: Greetings folks! - Shizuka - 04-07-2014

I ran into a fellow from Cactuar in a random the other day that was thinking about transferring. Maybe that was you? Anyway, Gilgamesh has been SUPER super nice, I really love it here myself. Even the non-RPers have so far been mostly really respectful to us when they find us RPing. We have a group of non-RPers join our beach party event the other day actually!

I've not had a lot of experience on Balmung myself, but I honestly can't speak highly enough of Gilgamesh personally.


RE: Greetings folks! - rl_icewolf - 04-08-2014

heh it very well could have been. Although I am newish still to ARR. As to which server I am still torn heh, I probably don't have time to play on both. I will probably end up tossing a coin at this point.
