Not to de-rail the thread, but I wax nostalgic about 1.0 for this very reason. It seems like in 2.0, nearly every location has an express purpose in the game.

1.0 Thanalan caves were my bread and butter for the Wandering Mages (A small RP group at the time.) and the fact that Tam-Tara had its own Aether node speaks volume as to its size before the world reshape.

Ah to make the journey to Long Root again...

A few friends and I enjoyed exploring the "out of bounds" areas in Tera, climbing mountains and sneaking into empty zones that would have been for future content, but were empty. There were even a few times that we got a GM to join us and teleport us to places we wouldn't have been able to get to on our own. It's kind of sad that there aren't any such adventures to be had in FFXIV.

I think you misunderstood me; I started following that kind of rule precisely because I was sick of running through two or more ERP circles while going to the bank in Velika. (Though I hardly needed a good excuse to go exploring outside the bounds of the game to begin with.)

Either way, ERP is always going to be a touchy subject that everyone isn't going to agree on.

I was doing a lengthy session of F.A.T.E grinding earlier and managed to get a grand total of five fresh levels as a dragoon. About halfway through this I happened to stumble across a handful of RPers that I recognised from this site and decided to send them a friendly greeting in passing as acknowledgement.

They didn't respond at first, so I thought little of it - only for one of them to suddenly blurt out 'Ugh, Theodric? I hope he doesn't try and RP with us, he sounds like a dick on the RPC.'

Once they'd realised that they'd made the statement in /say rather than /party or whatever other chat they were using to communicate with each other they swiftly darted off without so much as another word.

Ironically enough, the RPers in question are in a guild that describes themselves as tolerant and accepting! Still, I didn't let it drag me down and found it to be pretty amusing. It's great to see that RPers are upholding their reputation of being mature and friendly...

Oh my God ;;;;;;Â That is so horrible. If I saw someone saying that about me I'd log out and likely never come back ever again ;w; How embarrassing it must have been for the person who said it(I mean in fairness, Lament has a point about it being a natural opinion... and it wasn't the rudest thing in the world), but I feel awful for you having seen that. You seem to have just taken it in your stride but ugh, the thought..

Anyways, I mistell a lot myself. A lot. I've said many thing that have made me very, very embarrassed but they are nothing like the experiences other people have talked about in these topics. *sigh* Alas, it is my turn to embarrass myself even if it does not equate.

A couple of times when I was alone in the game just doing random things, I um... kiiinda behaved ICly. That is to say that I behaved as though my character(s) were talking to themselves. So um... they also kinda made it on to the linkshells accidentally and as innocent as they were, my face just sapped all of the blood from the rest of my body as I was so embarrassed.

The last time was just the other day in fact. I was going to attune to the Amalj'aa aethernyte for the HM Titan quest. No-one was around so I decided to have a little fun and sneak my way all the way into the encampment without arousing the attention from any of the beasts. At some point I encountered a tricky situation and decided to have my character mutter a simple swear. Its so simple and nothing compared to these other stories but it still makes me flush so much.

OH WAIT. I did it today as well actually. My friend was apologising for "keeping me waiting" because I was ready to do a dungeon(actually it turned out I wasn't, I just thought I was -o-) but she wanted to unlock it. She said that I should just go on ahead and not waste my time waiting on her but one of the most enjoyable parts of this game for me is playing alongside my friend even if its just trivial quests so I jokingly replied:

"K'nahli always waits for [name]!"

...right into a linkshell. I was embarrassed of course =w= ;; Out of context it made me sound like a little lapdog that wants to do well by it's owner. Woe is meee~

As for the rest of these posts. If there was ANY chance of any of my characters ever engaging in ERP it has certainly gone right out the window! Those horror stories would cripple me for life. I cannot allow myself to fall prey to any more embarrassment, miiii.

I don't think it would offend so much as when you see people in a public place, like a park, walking and holding hands say, some people go 'd'aww, how cute,' and other people just roll their eyes and go 'ugh.' There are always gonna be the people who just don't want to see that. Usually, I don't care on an absolute basis, but I will limit it for the sake of those people, so if any cutesy-ness on my part is going to go beyond a post or two, I'll take it out of public view.

Now innuendo? That I'll just keep right on going. "I'm talking about root vegetables. What are YOU talking about?"

I've done that before as well, almost word for word (except obviously not K'nahli, otherwise I'd be having a serious identity crisis IC). Â A couple times it went to public chat rather than tells or guild chat, a couple times it went to an open RP channel.

It actually led to a nickname as "(name)'s Pet", which was meant to be derogatory, but we took it and twisted it around and used it to our advantage like it was a nickname for a favored soldier of a military unit (or like a favored assassin, which was the IC "rumor" that my character was even though she really wasn't... Â Most of the time).

I feel like this whole string of conversations requires an explanation. Â Or at the very least causes Val to "do the thing" so we know what has Faye so on edge

Hahaha.

Actually, One part abut that I forgot to mention is that someone in the linkshell replied with:
"Awww that's so cute"
"Sisterly love"

T////TÂ No! I was just.. waiting!
