Like I said, I'm not losing any sleep over it. I just think that nobody should be immune to criticism if they're going out of their way to make their character stand out above and beyond everybody else's. It's not a personal attack. If I said 'oi mate, ur a nasty wanker with a mouldy twat' and relentlessly hounded someone for what they were doing with their character then I'd fully expect to be told to piss off. That's not what I'm doing though, nor am I pointing out anybody by name and humiliating them in public for their decisions in role-play.

my experience to the RPC today
That being said I think anyone should be able to RP whatever they want as long as they find other people willing to accept it and rp with them and enjoy it. It does not mean the entire community has to, and if there is a sensitive subject such as this it would be best to just tend to avoid those subjects while rping at taverns or the community at large, imo. But in your fc/ls/group of friends? You can be a time-bending half-dragon primal dimension-travelling demigod and if others like it that is fine. |

I'm more or less of the opinion that Warren expressed earlier. People may RP what they wish, that's the nature of open-world MMO RP. The only thing that individual players can really do is chose with whom they interact, and how they treat their own "headcanon" to use a popular phrase.Â
I don't think much of the MSQ, and never have. I do not find it a compelling story (although it has interesting moments), and outside of what it reveals about the lore of the world itself, I do not consider it canon. Whether or not Ascians exists, or Hydaelen interferes in the realm of mortals, my character hasn't the slightest clue (and would shrug off as a nut anyone who insisted they -knew- otherwise). Primals are summoned, and primals are killed. If someone really worked it well and deeply into their story, or wrote an adventure arch around it that dealt reasonably and faithfully with the power of primals I might find it rather interesting! If I encounter a couple of guys on a street-corner boasting about how they fight primals with a hand-tied-behind-their-back my character will treat that in the same fashion as any other puffed up blade trying to talk big. That said, if you've got a group that enjoys RPing the MSQ as if its a "thing" that "really happened" by all means! More power to you, enjoy the RP and don't worry about the detractors. This is a game, and its meant to be fun, and everyone's idea of fun is different. Just don't try to tell anyone else that they have to go along with it. |

For my sake in Lost River's story; she is a 1.0 character (although retconned to be a female Roegadyn as they were not playable until 2.0), the only thing she did experience was she -was- there with the many other adventurers of the battle, was sent through time with the many others. Buuut, did she really become a part of the 2.0 storyline? Not really. Just that major key event is all. It still haunts her to this day, to have five years gone, five years without her daughter.

If you want to RP the main scenario, go for it. No one is stopping you. It sounds like fun, and I welcome you to have fun!
But I'm also welcome to laugh at you when you approach me and then say "Off to kill Titan again! Wish me luck!" (this has happened to me a few times) The long and short of it is that within a bubble you can have fun however you want, but opening your bubble out to the world at large means, by definition, you have to accept people's reactions at face value. As a social activity, people are welcome to exclude you if they want. No one is forcing you to play with me, and I'm not forcing myself on you. |

So far, the only things I've seen widely discredited and frowned on, is White Mages and Azure Dragoons.

My characters do not have Echo or Warrior of Light status. However, I also do not give a rat's ass whether other people do or don't as long as they're not hurting anyone. I just find like-minded friends and RP with them.
I'm not sure why people seem to have such a vested interest in finding people whose RP they disagree with and then shitting all over them. Like posting a rant about IC Primal fights in an event about fighting Primals IC. It's okay to not like things, but don't be a dick about it. |

Also, I was under the impression (and I'll respectfully stand corrected if Sounseyy shows up and says otherwise) that in 1.0 there was a group called... Path of the Twelve, and their mission was to support and deal with people who were touched by the Echo, because there was a lot coming out of the woodwork for a while and the muggles were treating/convincing them that they were crazy.
Adventurers (PC's) represent a small part of Erozea's population, so that there could -POSSIBLY- be a higher concentration of people who have varying degrees of special is understandable. |

The Path of the Twelve was the precursor to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Minfilia headed it and sought out those with the Echo to be part of it. There's a lot of 'em. The difference with ARR is that they took it to a more snowflake, 1-player game level with the adventurer with the Echo becoming THE Warrior of Light with Hydaelyn's blessing and such! |
