I have to say, I'd honestly never considered the number of games I've played (or Beta tested) as a detriment to my RP credibility.
I... thought that it spoke to my overall experience as a gamer and my commitment to the genre.
Not all the games I've played, I've RPed in. In fact, the only one's I've seriously committed to RP in have been:
SWG- 3 years solid since launch, then off and on for the remainder til it poofed
EQ2- 2 years... left b/c my guild disbanded and decided to go straight PvE. No RP friends, no interest. Moved on.
Vanguard- Beta on for 2 years... created a guild, left because my friends did and, well, shit happened that made the game unplayable for me (OOC crept into IC and back again, thanks to the guild I merged mine with. I hate fekkin' drama llama shit. I really really do)
The rest? I RPed some, but the game pretty much let me down, so I quit. But in NONE did I just leave folks hanging RP wise. That's just not cool.
Hell, I'd still BE in SWG if it hadn't taken the tank and my friends hadn't left. I freakin' loved the RP and my character and my crew there. Loved it.
Which, ironically, is why I look to the vets here and understand where they're coming from with commitment and love of their Legacy toons. If I heard SOE was remaking SWG like SE did FFXIV- and I could have my character back and my friends would return... I'd be gone. I'd do it in a heartbeat. I -miss- my character like she was my best friend.. and I -hate- that her story didn't end as I liked.
Anyway... I admit it is disheartening to hear that some might judge me as wishy-washy as a RPer when... I take it so seriously. And any listing I did was not meant to do anything but show experience in different types of gaming.
I'll definitely keep that in mind from now on...
