I really did enjoy TERA, but it was on the outrageous side. Smile

It, honestly, had the best MMO combat that I have ever played.  I enjoyed it so much I really played the game for that long before I RPed in it.  Its a shame that such a wonderful combat system was imbedded in such a thin, lackluster game.

It did, however, lead me directly to FF. If it were not for the group of friends I made in TERA, I would never have even been tempted to try FF. They literally pulled me along despite my "better judgement" Smile

Very much so!  It stood out as such a part of her too.

While I could go back to EQ (ah, the days of Firiona Vie: the Necropolis; the war against Skathris Ven'sho; being The Definitive Evil Bard; raiding Cabilis with Shintou, Cora, and others; annoying the hell out of people in PvP using Selo's Accelerando; etc.), I don't know anyone who still plays it. I still maintain, though, that FV was the way to promote a strong RP environment -- make it just painful enough so that largely only RPers will want to play there -- and for all their missteps, SOE should be commended for how they set that server up.

I've a lot of great memories of City of Heroes, but of course, it's gone now, the victim of NCSoft idiocy, a poor free to play model that alienated a lot of people, and consistently poor decisions by the devs.

I didn't RP much in Earth and Beyond, but it still has a special place in my heart for being the scrappy sci-fi MMO in a market dominated by fantasy.

To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of it. I loved it the first month or two of release, but it quickly went downhill. The RP I had dropped and, shortly after, so did I.

...But then about six months later, I was asked to come back and it was about to go free to play, so I said sure. I still hated the gameplay, but it was decent for RP stuff every now and then.

Some old memories...

I, too, was of the CoH days.  It was the first MMO I RP'd in (I was strictly a MU* girl before that).  The community on our server wasn't really an 'RP' community (I played on Triumph) but it had heart.

Then there was World of Warcraft.  Bittersweet memories, there.  I played for seven years, all told.  Most of them with a guild that caused a helluva lot of controversy because of poor leadership but had some of the best people in it I ever could have met.  Years later, I am still friends with some of them, so I can't regret it too much.  WoW was also where me and my husband realized that with a good tank/healer team, you could duo ANYTHING so we'd go around the world being badasses (Sonechka and Jineah, gone but not forgotten...Tongue)

There was a bit of playing around in LOTRO, SWTOR, TERA...gosh basically everything on the market.  Stuck with GW2 for a while....  RP'd there.  Bittersweet memories with that as well...  Played with the husband and brought back our two dangerous ladies, Sonechka and Jineah.  We were able to finally give them a happy ending.  Out of all the games I've played, I can safely say that GW2 was the one I most wanted to be good.  I watched it from early alpha on.  ...Sadly it just wasn't what I was hoping it would be, community or game-play wise.

Played for a little over a year in TSW.  Met some wonderful people, RP'd some great stories, but the gameplay just didn't have it for me.  I have gone back, from time to time.  It is an easy game to pick up and put down, and the community is wonderful and for the most part very welcoming to folks that wander in and out.  Most recently I was a DJ with the IC radio station RadioFreeGaia.  DJ Tenno sending a little shoutout.

...These nostalgia threads always make me wonder what my old guildmates are doing now... *laughs*

Earth and Beyond was my 1st MMO, so it's the one I'll never forget. I was a Jen'quai Explorer (Jenpie Exploder) who had a pretty good racket in the mining and taxi industries on my server. I had a mine field I favored pretty heavily in Jupiter that I never really saw anyone else at. Surprising, since Jupiter was the Jen'quai home sector. I miss that field, and idling near in the high radiation zones in Valkyrie Twins or bopping around the asteroid belt.

I still get nostalgic for FFXI sometimes. Running through Bastok, the way mandragoras would chase you around in West Sarutabaruta [S]. The Sunbreeze Festival music most of all.

Y'now, I played TERA, and I was an Amani. Some Castanian girl told my character that I should cover up. The exchange went like this.

Girl: Um... you should really put on pants. Your crotch is open...

Me: You can see my cloaca? Damn, sorry. But you're not really wearing much, either.

Girl: But this is Castanic culture!

Me: Yeah? Well in that case, you seem quite cultured.

Girl: Thank you.

Diplomacy is telling someone to go to hell and having them look forward to the trip.
