Hi!
I don't really know what to say here, as I haven't actually...worked out a character or anything. Â I'm new. Â Please don't eat me.
 I actually only found out about the FFXIV reboot a few months back.  Since then, my friend Mist has been inundating me with information, trailers, and, "OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME YOU HAVE TO TRY IT."  He got me a Beta key for Beta 3, and I tried it and well...  I loved it.  ^_^
So now I've pre-ordered the game and myself and a friend are planning on playing together. Â The only thing is I have my heart set on playing on an RP server, because, well...I love to RP.
I got my start in Yahoo Chat's Ayenee years and years ago, and from there played in White Wolf's World of Darkness setting on SEAChat website-based games.  That led to me discovering Bioware's Neverwinter Nights, where I played happily for years in one of my favorite settings, Forgotten Realms.  Unfortunately, the user-made Persistent World Servers are mostly dying, as Neverwinter Nights is more and more difficult to obtain, more and more difficult to connnect to servers unless you know where they are, and many video drivers no longer support the game.
I also play World of Warcraft, and have for about six years now. Â
 I have tried RPing in WoW, but I've never been able to really get into it, which I found distressing as I've always enjoyed RP.  I tried RPing in Rift, and that didn't really work out.  I tried in SWTOR, too, but became increasingly disillusioned by EA and Bioware's lack of support for RP in the game platform.  When I found out that FFXIV:ARR would have RP servers, I started looking around for information.
Confession: I've actually been stalker-browsing these forums for a while now. Â >.> Â But I've never had the courage to post.
Like I said, I really want to play on an RP server, but I'm not sure which server to choose. Â I'm somewhat worried if I choose the non-Legacy server, it will end up like my experience in SWTOR, where I didn't end up rolling on the "main" RP server and thus...there was little to no RP. Â I'm also worried that if I join a Legacy server, the people may not be as open and welcoming (admittedly a holdover from my experiences in WoW). Â I was hoping perhaps some forum regulars could shed light on that, actually.
Anyway, I will keep rambling if I don't stop myself, so I am stopping myself. ÂÂ I'm still working on a character concept, so that's really up in the air. Â
