This is so true! Or at least true also in my experience. When I was playing World of Warcraft, I began the game in the same way I'd play any video game -- through the mechanics. I wasn't all that engaged in the world; however, after several years and when I retired from serious raiding, I moved to an RP server to give it a shot... and suddenly I was reading the quests, becoming personally involved with the world, engaging in it as a participant rather than just a viewer! My experiences as a roleplayer are really the ones I carried forward when I finally left WoW.

It hurts me so, but Yuuna, Garon, and Ghost need their shiny guns they've had all along. And not one of them is even to 50 yet, let alone caught up to story.

Hell, a lot of times at work now I find myself regretting that I've made so many characters because I don't have time to do anything 'fun' with them outside of grinding for stuff.
Right? I understand this problem although I only have a single character. A lot of it becomes "just one more run..." "just one more item..." "just one more game of TT..." that it becomes easy to become lost in it. Still, I envy you for your small RP regardless. I haven't had much luck, and when I do get lucky, I think my timezone shoots me in the foot, . Perhaps my greatest regret in XIV, but at least the PvE is good, haha, .
