I think that if I join up an MMO late.... like lets say I joined up now I would not RP as starting from the beginning. Whenever I joined, the events going on right now in the world is what's going on.
If I make a character now, then I would still roleplay it as Ishgard being open and Nidhogg being awake and raging and all that.
I would just simply understand that whenever I do the level 15 MSQ quest where Raubahn is giving his rousing speech that that happened in the past. I conform to the current world events, not the other way around.
Does that make sense? I try and keep up with current events like the Au Ra immigration, and then take the MSQ and other pre-HW quests as having happened in the past.
So the 4th Summer Festival is coming, and I just joined up, then that's... that's what it is, the other three did happen and I either was there or wasn't depending on the backstory I crafted for my character.
Seems simple to me.
