We also like to think that TERA Val and Fae are off on their own little Island together, living happily ever after with a house full of kids.

Sadly I never could get into Tera. I tried soooo hard lol

I really did enjoy TERA, but it was on the outrageous side. Smile

It, honestly, had the best MMO combat that I have ever played.Â I enjoyed it so much I really played the game for that long before I RPed in it.Â Its a shame that such a wonderful combat system was imbedded in such a thin, lackluster game.

It did, however, lead me directly to FF. If it were not for the group of friends I made in TERA, I would never have even been tempted to try FF. They literally pulled me along despite my "better judgement" Smile

Very much so!Â It stood out as such a part of her too.

While I could go back to EQ (ah, the days of Firiona Vie: the Necropolis; the war against Skathris Ven'sho; being The Definitive Evil Bard; raiding Cabilis with Shintou, Cora, and others; annoying the hell out of people in PvP using Selo's Accelerando; etc.), I don't know anyone who still plays it. I still maintain, though, that FV was the way to promote a strong RP environment -- make it just painful enough so that largely only RPers will want to play there -- and for all their missteps, SOE should be commended for how they set that server up.

I've a lot of great memories of City of Heroes, but of course, it's gone now, the victim of NCSoft idiocy, a poor free to play model that alienated a lot of people, and consistently poor decisions by the devs.

I didn't RP much in Earth and Beyond, but it still has a special place in my heart for being the scrappy sci-fi MMO in a market dominated by fantasy.

To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of it. I loved it the first month or two of release, but it quickly went downhill. The RP I had dropped and, shortly after, so did I.

...But then about six months later, I was asked to come back and it was about to go free to play, so I said sure. I still hated the gameplay, but it was decent for RP stuff every now and then.

Some old memories...

I, too, was of the CoH days. Â It was the first MMO I RP'd in (I was strictly a MU* girl before that). Â The community on our server wasn't really an 'RP' community (I played on Triumph) but it had heart.

Show Content

Then there was World of Warcraft. Â Bittersweet memories, there. Â I played for seven years, all told. Â Most of them with a guild that caused a helluva lot of controversy because of poor leadership but had some of the best people in it I ever could have met. Â Years later, I am still friends with some of them, so I can't regret it too much. Â WoW was also where me and my husband realized that with a good tank/healer team, you could duo ANYTHING so we'd go around the world being badasses (Sonechka and Jineah, gone but not forgotten... Tongue

)

Show Content

There was a bit of playing around in LOTRO, SWTOR, TERA...gosh basically everything on the market. Â Stuck with GW2 for a while.... Â RP'd there. Â Bittersweet memories with that as well... Â Played with the husband and brought back our two dangerous ladies, Sonechka and Jineah. Â We were able to finally give them a happy ending. Â Out of all the games I've played, I can safely say that GW2 was the one I most wanted to be good. Â I watched it from early alpha on. Â ...Sadly it just wasn't what I was hoping it would be, community or game-play wise.

Show Content

Played for a little over a year in TSW. Â Met some wonderful people, RP'd some great stories, but the gameplay just didn't have it for me. Â I have gone back, from time to time. Â It is an easy game to pick up and put down, and the community is wonderful and for the most part very welcoming to folks that wander in and out. Â Most recently I was a DJ with the IC radio station RadioFreeGaia. Â DJ Tenno sending a little shoutout.

...These nostalgia threads always make me wonder what my old guildmates are doing now... *laughs*

Earth and Beyond was my 1st MMO, so it's the one I'll never forget. I was a Jen'quai Explorer (Jenpie Exploder) who had a pretty good racket in the mining and taxi industries on my server. I had a mine field I favored pretty heavily in Jupiter that I never really saw anyone else at. Surprising, since Jupiter was the Jen'quai home sector. I miss that field, and idling near in the high radiation zones in Valkyrie Twins or bopping around the asteroid belt.

I still get nostalgic for FFXI sometimes. Running through Bastok, the way mandragoras would chase you around in West Sarutabaruta [S]. The Sunbreeze Festival music most of all.

Y'now, I played TERA, and I was an Amani. Some Castanian girl told my character that I should cover up. The exchange went like this.

Girl: Um... you should really put on pants. Your crotch is open...

Me: You can see my cloaca? Damn, sorry. But you're not really wearing much, either.

Girl: But this is Castanic culture!

Me: Yeah? Well in that case, you seem quite cultured.

Girl: Thank you.

Diplomacy is telling someone to go to hell and having them look forward to the trip.
