Hello everyone! I just recently discovered your wonderful group of roleplayers and thought it would be the perfect excuse to finally put FFXI down and give FFXIV another try. Like every die hard FFXI player, I played the beta, and picked the game up at launch. But of course it had many issues and I decided to wait until the game was a little more complete, and I went back to FFXI.
Now I'm a girl that absolutely loves roleplaying, but I've never found much of it in FFXI. But FFXI is my favorite MMO world and it's always been a dream of mine to roleplay in it. Well I think FFXIV is the next best thing, plus the characters, animation, and environments all are so beautiful! I'm very excited! >^o^<
MMORPG history
My first every MMO was Final Fantasy XI. I fell in love with it. I've never had a game give me such a wide range of emotions before. I played it a LOT, and currently still do. I will always treasure my memories with this game forever. I've taken many many breaks from it, but I always find myself eventually returning.
On some of those breaks, I've played a few other popular MMOs. I've played a lot of World of Warcraft, of course. I did quite a bit of RP'ing there, it was the most fun I had with that game. I played Aion for a few weeks. And I think that's about it. The rest of the MMO's I played for less than a few days and I don't even count them.
RP experience
Roleplaying is something I've been doing for years through various mediums. I started out doing my first roleplaying a very long time ago through some forums I was a part of and it involved a high fantasy setting, similar to something like Lord of the Rings. After that I moved on to roleplaying on an anime forum I was very involved in, even playing up to 3 different characters in the same RP at once! (It was a Rurouni Kenshin RP, if you were curious.) Then I think I hit a dry spell with my roleplaying. I got heavily involved in FFXI, but never got the chance to RP in it... But boy, did I want to! A few years later I was on a break from FFXI and gave WoW a shot. It was quick, easy, and fun. I did get bored of it rather quickly, but it was there that I tried out a RP server for the first time ever. I had a ton of fun with it. My RP guild would use an empty tavern they had in Stormwind as our base and I would even serve random players that walked in and sat down beer and such. I loved it. It wasn't just typing words on a forum now. I had a visible character that I could emote with and talk through. It brought the RP experience higher for me.
And that's why I'm so excited to start roleplaying in FFXIV. It's very much like the world of FFXI I so love, but much more beautiful!
How I learned about the Coalition
I kept seeing one of the servers in FFXIV referred to as the "unoffical RP server", so I did some searching around online and this was the site I found! I've been doing a little reading around on your site and I love what I'm seeing. This is exactly what I've been looking for and am very excited to become an active member of your community! >^.^<
What kind of Roleplayer I am:
When I RP, I love to really get deep into it. I'm fine with moderate RP'ing, but I also love to get into heavy RP as well! Everything from sitting around town relaxing, running through the landscape, rushing to save someone, or staying strictly in character in the heart of battle. I love the roleplay, and I love being in character. >^.^< That's not to say I will never say anything OOC, of course! I love to play all kinds of roles. I don't really prefer to stick with any one kind of character all the time, because taking on different types of roles is why RPing is so fun! That said, I do usually prefer to play female characters, as I am a female.
The real-life me?
I'm a 25 year old girl who works her butt off all day and just wants to relax and escape to her exciting fantasy world when she gets home. As such, I'll normally be on later in the evening until pretty late, as thats when I have free time. Occasionally on a day off I'll get a chance to be on during the day, but that doesn't happen to often.
That about does it, I think. I'm very excited to see some or all of you in game and get into some roleplaying!
