Hi all! Nice to meet you all. This intro will probably be longer than it should (sorry), but I just want to fully explain my FFXIV time/future time and how I came about joining. I'll use some of the starting points that were recommended in the sticky.Â
MMORPG background:Â FFXI was my first and only mmo (besides FFXIV being my current mmo). I was on the siren server. I have very fond memories and enjoyed my time there immensely! I started when ToAH was about to be released and stopped just before the moogle mini expansion came out. I enjoyed it so much, since it was my first mmo, and there was so much to do! I logged on never knowing what I would get into next!
RP experience: None. More explanation in following point.
How did you learn about the coalition: It all started back in 2010. I learned FFXIV was coming out and kept up to date with information; frequently on ZAM. I was excited knowing I finally was able to play another FF mmo again, since I quit FFXI many years prior. I started on Karnak as Weffrey Pencroff. I forget the day, but Castiel(at the time)/Kylin posted a topic about the RPC. I read it and immediately became interested, curious to know more about roleplaying. I watched the site since that moment and realized wow this is very interesting. So when FFXIV was kind of stale in the beginning I would read the stories/events created by you all back when you were all on Besaid. I realized roleplaying was very creative and noticed you all are extremely talented and creative people. I even went as far to PM Kylin(again back when he was Castiel) on ZAM for ideas for LS events because a LS I was in was in dire need to connect members in new ways(due to the game having not much content at the start.). I suggested the ideas and only one person was interested, therefore the great ideas were never set in motion.
From there on out, I continued to play on Karnak/Excalibur from 2010-2012, while always checking what you all were up to for the 2 years. I had great fun through my two year experience. Met lots of great people, but always was pondering the thought of having another character for roleplaying only. I was nervous and thought I wouldn't be good enough, so I just kept stalking...ahem...reading/watching.Â
THEN! Legacy conditions were announced. I saw the great plan Yoshi-P put into place allowing for multiple characters while keeping the same price. I realized I could finally join you all! I was beyond excited!  So today was the day I decided to try and start my roleplaying journey by becoming a member of this site.
What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?:Â I never roleplayed before. Therefore, I probably should start at light, but because the character I create here will be solely created for the roleplaying experience it would be nice to move to medium/heavy.
Going Forward: I will be playing ARR once it comes back online after beta. I enjoy the time with my friends on Excalibur as Weffrey, but also want to have a main character here as well. Basically, I'll be playing both characters as much as I can. I hope that is okay to do. Also, my brother plays as well and he might want to try roleplaying here too!Â
PS: (Sorry if I sound like a suck-up. Speaking from the heart.) I respect all your creative abilities greatly. I enjoyed reading a bunch of what your characters went through. Now hopefully I can become apart of a story! ^^ Also, to the artists here I respect and enjoy viewing your artwork a lot. I have no art talent whatsoever, therefore I appreciate artwork very much.
(Again, sorry for this long intro ) (Ask me any questions if there is anything you wish to know/wish to know more about me.)
