Xerek Devereux

There is one thing I think people might be overlooking. Threads that say looking for romance don't always mean prearranged romance. Sure the poster might be looking for that, but those threads can also just as easily be "Hey, I'm looking for a love interest for my character, let me know if you're interested. We can get some RP in and see how they get along." In a case like that, the forum post more acts as a bar, a place to meet prospective partners, not something to outright prearrange things. That aside, I tried a prearranged relationship exactly once, in a different mmo, and it was an absolute train wreck. It was with an in-game friend of mine. She just got clear of a drama bomb and asked me to put my character in a relationship with one she just made. It didn't take long to learn what sounded good on paper just didn't play out well. The romance crashed and burned spectacularly. The warning signs were there. Had we even played them as friends for a month before getting them together, we would have seen it wouldn't work. So, lesson learned. To tie back to the start, I am not adverse to seeing how characters RP with mine, if they spark or such, but I will never, never again just outright prearrange a relationship.

This is a wonderful idea, I just hope the timing of 3.5 works out for you, given that it's MSQ will likely have major repurcussions for Ali Mhigan RP. Given the patch is supposed to drop mid-Jan, I'd have to think it'll hit a few days after the event though, so you should be good. I'll have to see if I can get Xerek to swing by this one.

* An aetheryte in Vesper Bay for all the new and returning people slogging through the ARR portion of the main story. * A 3.5 anima step that bucks tradition for odd-numbered steps and is NOT hell. * Open Balmung up for new toons. Or failing that, allow people who already have toons on Balmung to create alts there. We can't play more then one at a time, after all. >.>

Xerek has been in three failed relationships. The last breakup hit him hard. Still, part of him wants to love and be loved, so while his heart is guarded, he's still cautiously keeping an eye open...

I think I already know the answer to this, but do you have to be there for the start, or can you trickle in later on?

Sorry for stealing your barmaid yesterday. Looking forward to making the next one!

Gah! I'd love to make this, but the timing is awful. Maybe next month. >.>

Ironically after saying here that Xau'a would not be attending because he was taken, he found himself available for the event. It was well-run and the staff tried very hard to keep everyone engaged. It was a lot of fun!

Just to avoid confusion you might want to set a color for interested in both (perhaps green or purple?). I could see people not paying attention showing up in whatever, confusing those looking. Or someone in 2/3rds red and 1/3 blue or such. That aside, this is a wonderful idea. Were Xau'a still single, I'd definately be there. Good luck!

5h7KyokeLmM I can't stop listening. It's just sooo good. Reminds me very much of the music from Chrono Cross.

I might be able to bring a shy lil star-kitty by, dependng on timing. Just expect blushing and stuttering along with his healing. ^.^

You can also check people's search info. A number of us will put some variant of "RPer, walk-ups welcome". You see that, go right up and ask. Or just approach IC.

Can people just show up to mingle? My kitty is a lightweight but I might bring him to it. He needs experience with groups of people if he's ever going to overcome his shyness.

Welcome. Every community is toxic according to some people. I came from GW2 which has it's own toxic RP element. Just typical mmo fare. Quick note though, there is no rush to get Heavensward. To access anything in it, aside from the new race, you will have to get to level 50, beat the entire Realm Reborn main story, as well as all the main story patched in up until the expansion. That...can take awhile.

Hmm, might sign Xau'a up for this, but slightly disappointed that we can no longer specify which races we're attracted to. Xau'a and I would have no qualms with anybody, but there are definitely preferences. Oh well. Either way I'll check my (and Xau'as) schedule and see if I can do this.
