Hello everyone,
My name is Ben, I'm new to the forums and will be playing FFXIV soon, I've PMed several people for more information on the game and the RP community in general and have received a lot of helpful information. Â Anyway, I wanted to reach out to the broad side of the community now in hopes of being accepted and receiving help with getting started, character crafting, story writing, event planning, linkshell/guild interviews and finding the perfect home for me, and just making new friends and family. Â So, let me give you all some more information, friends!
MMORPG Background: Â I've been playing World of Warcraft since the conclusion of Vanilla/Burning Crusade launch. Â I also have a large array of other games that I play, and while they may not be MMORPG's like FFXIV and WoW, I still enjoy them.
RP Experience: Â Throughout my WoW career I officered a raiding guild in Wrath of the Lich King and early Cataclysm, later on I dedicated myself to RP where I officered several large and renowned RP guilds for several years. Â And, though these games may not be intended to RP on, I do enjoy crafting back stories and personalities for my characters in Diablo III, Skyrim, and other games. Â I love to give something, someone, a voice. Â So, in short, I have a large amount of RP experience that comes from a rich history of RP.
Character Ideas/Information: Â This is where I would like the input of the RP community. Â While I have a few character concepts rattling around in my head, I would like to hear what people want to see more of, or when I find the linkshell/guild I call home, what they might want for story. Â Keep in mind, I'm open to suggestions, but the finalized character as a whole will be my decision, and remain original. Â But, I want to hear all your ideas and toss some concepts back and forth, show me what I should/shouldn't include in my character.
How did you learn about the Coalition?: Â I learned about the Coalition while researching FFXIV and looking into how much RP meant to the playerbase and if it had an established community. Â I'm glad I took a week of sifting through the internet to find the Coalition, it was more than worth it.
What kind of role-player are you aiming to be? Â Light, medium, or heavy?: Â I plan to be a HEAVY role-player, IC at nearly all times while online, always IC in city-states, towns, villages, etc. Â If I am not IC for whatever reason, please send me a whisper asking me to be if you want to RP, I'll do so immediately.
Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc.): Â My name's Ben, a nice and funny person, if you consider really awful puns funny, who's very accepting and eager to start a new life and career within FFXIV! Â My hobbies are... gaming. Â That's it.
I hope to hear from a lot of you with advice and information on the game and the RP community, what linkshells to look at, what server to be on, and just everything in general. Â Feel free to PM me if you want, along with posting on this thread, I'll be sure to read it all, and maybe a few of us can even get in Skype and discuss RP; characters, story, events, and more!
-Many thanks,
Ben, Future Defender and Adventurer of Eorzea
