Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes and advice! I'll keep an eye out - currently being overwhelmed by the game and the preparations I need to make to try and break into RPing.Â
I have had shockingly positive experiences so far just re-learning PvE. Maybe it's just my overexposure to the F2P or B2P games, or maybe it's because my suspicion that RP servers are more friendly in general, but after not knowing wtf I was doing bumbling through some Duties/Guildhests, I haven't had anyone yell at me or cuss me out in PMs yet. In fact, after I did something that resulted in a near-party-wipe, one of the members in my party went out of their way to let me know they should have figured I was new from my derp behavior and spoken up (after I apologized and said, 'I should have spoken up and said this was my first run'). I really, really like that. Might just need more time to pass, but so far, so good! I get such terrible performance anxiety in such situations.
Anyway, once I settle a bit more with the fundamentals, I'd love to see if I can meet some of y'all!
