Good ole "Rhydin". Â I was 13 or 14 and my characters were all embarrassingly awful.

I am ashamed. x3

I shall join you in shame. I am probably the only person in existance to be involved in a Bardock vs Sephiroth RP. -hangs his head in shame-

Nope. The place I started RPing had all kinds of anime/game characters mixed together RPing. There were designated people to RP as those characters, too. One of the characters I played was a clone v_v

America Online chatrooms. Â Right when AoL started charging a monthly fee for their services around the '96 timeframe. Â

Played a were-wyvern at the age of twelve, not really knowing what was happening at the time but still going with it. Â Oh man, good times. Â After that, I moved to Ultima Online (Holy Hell I feel old) and on October 28, Â 2003, I made an Elvaan in Final Fantasy XI. Â He lasted a whole two days when I skipped school at a friends house and I made Rima. Â I had more fun than I ever thought I would being something so short, and he got vast amounts of RP during those many years of playing that.

My WoW time came in 2007 after I got home from a deployment and nearly every single one of my friends had started playing it. Â I created a Blood Elf Paladin whom I roleplayed the next years until the release of FFXIV 1.0

All RP ceased to exist for me then in the world of gaming, and went to forums, which weren't bad, but I like to game, so my time was torn.

Now I'm on Balmung, ready to meet people and build relations and RP!

Oh gawd, I remember those too. That Anime Secret Wars I mentioned ((It's actual name >.<)) Had that lol. Back in those days the creator would steal all the fun ones for their friends and such? Nostalgia man.

Yep yep! Ours was just called Nerima. It had a whole little.. backstory thing as to how and why they were all together, as well as a power chart. If anything, it did a good job of showing me that my personal character is not as powerful as main characters, because any named individual would be able to canonically beat my character's ass Big Grin

Lol those were the days man.

I started in my friends' D&D 3.0 campaign when I was twelve, and moved to WoW the next year. I've gotten quite a lot of mileage out of Blizzard's jackassery, RP-wise (to the tune of almost a decade).

As for the rest, I still RP in WoW and SWTOR, and am sticking my toes into GW2 for the sake of my friends.

I've also done a lot of forum/Tumblr/DW/IM RP, so I like to think of myself as pretty versatile.

Same. Twenty years ago. Been RPing ever since. I was on NWN for a decade and hosted a WoD server many, many years.

Rimashuma · **03-02-2015, 03:51 AM**

I forgot that my friend and I used to RP on paper, as well. Â He loved drawing, so he would draw us up some characters and we would both make up the story as we went. Â In combat, we'd use a system of pennies since we were kids and had no money for die. >.>

Val · **03-02-2015, 04:12 AM**

Oh, I played the crap out of Darkness Falls, too! All the responses about the 90s made me think of it :p

Gegenji · **03-02-2015, 09:18 AM**

My very first "RP" style experience was actually probably back in... third or fourth grade? In one of those after-school on-school-grounds day cares. There used to be one lady who work there that would tell us stories. About us, going on adventures. Every now and then, she'd turn to us and ask us what we'd do in the situation and she'd incorporate it into the story and it was really neat.

That's basically all I remember of those times. That and playing Sonic Spinball on the Genesis they had there (dating myself, whee).

After that, around fifth/sixth grade timeframe I somehow fell into a 2nd Edition DnD group and it just went from there. I stuck mainly to DnD, but online I participated in RP chat rooms on AOL (someone mentioned Red Dragon Inn and I'm pretty sure I went there for a bit). I played DnD on and off until around high school, when the group I played with more or less dissolved.

I played FFXI and Everquest for a bit but, beyond my own headcanon for my characters, I didn't really RP. Same with WoW for all the years I played that. When I got out of the military, I played a bit of DnD via mIRC, found an actual, physical 3e DnD group to play with... which I splintered off from later to run my own 4e group... and a couple other odds and ends.

FFXIV was my first real experience RPing in an MMO, and so I was horrendously nervous when I made Chachan. I still think I'm getting adjusted, but I also like to think I'm doing... okay. I'm too nervous to ask. Blush

I'm...actually pretty new to roleplay. I started playing World of Warcraft in earnest in about May 2010. I didn't know that roleplay was a thing until a couple weeks later when I saw a group on Proudmoore of all places doing it. I sat and watched for a bit, and got linked to an in character journal. It fascinated me, and got me thinking about how I could give my pixeldude (Nadagus, Human warrior!) a life, personality and story of his own. I began writing my own entries for him as I played the game. I did that whole 'quests are the character's story' thing, and I had a lot of fun with it. However, the group I had come across seemed very busy with PvE and only did roleplay once a month. I craved more than that. Google supplied me with two realms for frequent roleplay, Earthen Ring and Moonguard.Â

I rolled another human warrior on Earthen Ring, named Earthenblade because why not? Not too long after I did that, however, someone recommended Moon Guard to me. And so I started afresh there with my human Paladin, Liucen. I got roleplay the moment I hit Stormwind and got so lost in it that it actually took me quite some time to get to max level. That was in...June, July 2010 I think. It only snowballed from there.Â

I hopped over to Guild Wars Two when it released, and stayed there for a good while before going back to WoW. Eventually I left WoW for good, then went back to Guild Wars...and then came here! I still am babby roleplayer, but I like to think I own it. Dohoho!

Neverwinter Nights! Back in 2004! My husband introduced it to me, and I'm still going! Big Grin

***Alothia*** · **03-02-2015, 09:48 AM**

Once upon a time, there was a game called Final Fantasy XIV. It wasn't well liked, and the people who were there were varied and enjoyed the game for what it was.
In the real world, it was November. Someone who didn't think that they would ever want to play an MMO got sucked into this world of Eorzea and wanted to feel more a part of it.
Throughout her journey, she met Rin Limley and Seraphine Winter. And through them, she learned about RP. What it was, how to do it.
And she floundered. She had no clue. Her character, Alothia, had no personality at first. She was simply there.
Fast forward five years into the future. The player has grown. The Character has grown. And here we are.

Man, that's not fair. Its like you skipped past the awkward roleplay puberty phase where you make a series of hilariously awful characters ( A fallen angel gets turned into a vampire and has both angel powers and vampire powers, but also is a master thief with a heart of gold! ) and jumped straight to making normal characters. How will we swap tales of ridiculous badness now?
