Hello everyone, I figured I'd slip in here before all the chaos starts up in the middle of the year as we near the lift of the NDA. Having never tried RP before, I thought I'd need some time to wrap my head around everything, so expect some stupid questions. 
So here we go, a little about me..
I'm a 26-year old Aussie with a fairly long history of MMO's, starting with FFXI as a DRG main, which I still have a huge soft spot for despite starting in the peak of the LOLDRG phenomena with a personal record of 8 straight days of LFP before finding a group (Not including invites that caused other group members to drop out after seeing DRG
), resulting in a full year long journey from 1-75.
After FFXI I jumped around to a couple of F2P MMOs, before settling in to WoW and eventually joining the 2nd best Horde Guild on my server (We lost clearing Sunwell by 2 hours...2 HOURS!). Then I started jumping around between MMO's again until FFXIV's Closed Beta, and played fairly solidly for a year or so(All DoW/M classes capped except for Archer..never really got into it) before bouncing around and then trying Guild Wars 2.
It was during my 2-3 month stint in GW2 that I realised I'd become a bit too focused and driven in my MMO gaming, I'd lost the feeling of wonder that held me to FFXI for all those years. My intentions were not to experience everything I could, but to make my numbers bigger, and it only took me rushing 6 characters to cap one after the other to realise it.
So with ARR coming closer and closer to fruition, I've decided to not only start fresh with a new character (I'll still keep my original, just in case I need to sate my hunger for endgame content), but to try something completely new by RPing.
That was a little longer than intended... :oops:
