Croeso!, Hello!.
I'm usually terrible at writing these things, so I'll shamelessly steel the template offered in the stickies above and stick to that format! (Or this will go on forever, and will be un utterly pointless amble through my online life without touching really upon any key factors ^^)
MMORPG Background
Like most (not all) people, my first MMO was Warcraft, I've played it for a whole decade as I still have an active account on one of its biggest RP servers, Argent Dawn EU. I've spent most of my gaming life there, although I have moonlighted on other servers too. I've also played RIFT, and Guild Wars 2 (sadly not GW1). I spent about 6 months as the loneliest RP'er in space as I tried EVE online, but didn't find any signs of role play there, (there was only thin and sporadic signs of intelligent life too!)
RP Experience
As I mentioned above, I've spent the best part of ten years being a role player, I'll admit it's not been constant, I've had lapses into PVE and PVP, I've generally enjoyed my experiences in all games I've role played, though finding a community that suits me is somewhat difficult, as I'll explain later.
Character ideas
I don't have huge plans for my character at present. I never do at this stage, I prefer to let her experiences define her. So at present all I can tell you is that she's a bumbling, slightly under par thaumaturge in the making, though how she'll turn out remains to be seen.
What kind of role player am I?
I consider myself to be a heavy, heavy role player. I don't mean this in the sense that I consider myself incredibly skilled as a role player, I make mistakes and I learn like everyone, but what I do is take role playing for myself seriously, which is to say even while questing I try to stay in character, (no extended sprinting bouncing moment, I walk where possible, I always carry food and drink where possible in my bags) in less magically charged worlds I tend to tether my mount in one place and refuse to mount unless I've had chance to run back to that location to retrieve it, (I've not yet decided how I'll manage the teleport and return spells, so that's one to be sorted!) I don't enforce this kind of play on others, it's just how I enjoy role playing, what has gotten me into trouble previously (as mentioned above) when other role players in a group don't allow me the freedom to roleplay my way. (To offer an example, while roleplaying a routine patrol with a former guild something was relayed to us IC'ly that required our immediate return to base, and when all my fellow patrol magically mounted up and charged off, I ran, and later had a good ear bending from my then-GM)
About me IRl
Hi, my name is Beccy, I'm 25 from South Wales, UK. And I'm an addict. I've been addicted to video games for the last 10-11 years after an old boyfriend got me playing Morrowind. Since then I've totally lost myself in the immersive power of MMOs, though I do also play some single players, like the TES series.
Most people who know me, would describe me primarily in two ways, OCD and a creature of habit, I always over think things, planning for every eventuality, which has been useful in organising and leading guilds, or other group ventures, but painful in terms of dealing with spontaneous people, the comedian Jon Richardson famously said there is a way to split the worlds people in two defineable groups by asking a simple question "where are your car keys?"(or other important belonging, substitute 'mobile phone' for those without cars!) and he describes that the answers will be people who's keys are where they a) left them, b) put them. I consider myself a putter. I not only know where my keys are, but anyone in my households keys, on the color coded key hanger in the hall. Because if my housemate leaves hers lying around, that's where I'll put it
.
There really isn't much else to add, feel free to ask any questions, or poke me in game if you're interested! Also, as a NB because I didn't think it relevant to my introduction I found the community through a google search for 'final fantasy 14 roleplay' hope this helps in some way,
Beccy,
