'ello lads n' lasses - Ganzsthal - 11-06-2013 --MMORPG background   I first tasted MMORPG’s in the old Neverwinter Nights on AOL. A $300+ bill quickly ended that, but the seeds were set. I spent a lot of time playing the original Everquest on the Brell Serilis server. Since I stopped playing that I guess you might say I’ve bounced around from MMo to MMo with SW:ToR being the only game I’ve spent a significant amount of time playing.   --RP experience   I’ve been playing tabletop RPG’s since before MMo’s existed. Too many games to mention here.   --Character ideas/info   Alwyn Whispersong, born a Wildwood Elezen but was raised by Highlanders. She didn't really have any memories of the first few years of her life before being found by her adoptive Highlander parents.   --How did you learn about the coalition?   Brave Warden and Caen MacLoed pointed me here.   --What kind of role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?   Would like to get in on over arching storylines and grow my character. Medium to heavy. RE: 'ello lads n' lasses - Bryn - 11-06-2013 Hello Alwyn, and welcome! I look forward to bumping into you around Balmung. RE: 'ello lads n' lasses - Olofantur - 11-06-2013 Greetings Alwyn, Good to see Caen and Brave recommending the RPC. "Everquest on the Brell Serilis" Another survivor! I remember leveling an alt just for Teleport... Sounds like you already know a few people in game, so i'll just take a moment to go over the tools that the RPC has at your disposal. There are of course the forums, with a combination of things such as the RP handbook by Eva: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=1770 As well as ongoing conversations on nearly every topic, and if there isn't one, feel free to make it! We've also got a player made Wiki you can find above that lists all sorts of lore pages, character profiles and the like. It covers a great deal of information but also sorts it in a way that should make it fairly easy to get at what you'd like to know. They're created and edited by members so you can put up your own page on a character or maybe a bit of Lore you've found that isn't listed. The Lantern is an IC publication and the Linkshell hall both provide a way to get to know some of the people you might meet out in the world. The Linkshell listing providing information on the group, ways to get in touch and all that jazz. I recommend taking a look at "Intermission" a kind of hub for OOC communication, there's Europa, a EU timezone based equivalent if you are on during those hours more often. If you'd like to see what events are coming up you can take a look at the calendar, and while I might be a bit biased, the Coffer and Coffin event occurring on the 9th is open to all if you'd like to attend RP event where you can jaw wag, or just observe to your hearts content. I'm sure i'm missing some thing, but some one else will chime in if I have. Feel free to voice any concerns or ask any questions you might have, and until then, best of luck in Eorzea! RE: 'ello lads n' lasses - TheLastCandle - 11-06-2013 This is kind of dating myself more than I'd like, but I have some fond memories of NWN on AOL! It and GemStone III (also a game on AOL, but a MUD) were my gateway drugs to MMORPGs and RP in general. Anyway, welcome!
