LOTROs community was by far the best i have ever seen in an MMO, RP or not. So friendly. Its because the game was all about lore, exploring and the adventure and it placed such little emphasis on loot. Its the perfect RP mmorpg really. I played lotro for agggggges. By far my fav mmo to date but the population has all but disappeared. My character on that was an old loremaster from Harad. So he had wrinkles, grey hair, black skin and spoke with a thick haradrim accent. Its going to be weird to now play a 19 year old, ginger haired cat man but hey, im nothing if not open to RP diversity xDÂ
When i get on to Balmung i'll look you up man. That ok? I'll even buy you a drink at the tavern in Ul Dah
That's definitely okay. I'm just now getting back into the community after a long hiatus, so I'd love to make some new friends.
On LOTRO, I had a dwarf champion from the Iron Hills. I loved that character but, like you said, the population disappeared, plus the mechanics got a bit dated for me and I wasn't a fan of everything cool-looking coming from micro-transactions. I've always been a big Tolkien fan so that world was perfect for me to RP in, though. I had a great time while I was there.
Totally agree about how that game focused on lore, exploration, and adventure above all else. That's the kind of RP I'd like to bring to the forefront of FFXIV. It's a different beast altogether and there's a wide variety of RPers in this community, but a good deal feel the way I do about that kind of stuff. I mean, what's the point of RP if you're just comparing clothing, right?
Anyways, I don't mean to ramble on your Welcome thread. Hit me up when you get to Balmung. My name on that server is Uther Skystrider. I'm always up for some RP.
