1997, my boyfriend at the time got me into Vampire: The Masquerade.
I had no idea you could rp on the internet, though I had had it since 1995 (Most of my time on the internet at the time was spent in mIRC chat rooms talking about Savage Garden. Look, man... I was a teenager). Though when I heard about Everquest, I just assumed everyone RPed on MMO's and found that pretty fascinating, so when I played by first MMO (FFXI, 2003) I was a derp who assumed everyone was rping and started an rp ls on my server.
