Oh i just picked up something else I have some insecurity about...
RPing and Building villains!
In the past i have been on both sides. I've played villain characters in RP before and was usually told how great they were. Either they had a great reason to be a villain or just how irredeemable they are yet still loveable (I remember this one character I had that was the Majordomo to a dark lord and when he shows up, straight up kills her without any remorse. Everyone cheered she died but then were like 'Oh right...main bad guy.')
But in terms of FF14, this is a world where in lore, the villains are either "EMREGERD PRIMALS" or "EMEGERD CERRUPTION!" or "EMEGERD VERD!" (aka: Primals, Corruption and Void)
and i'll admit the villains i have in place fall under one or all of these. Many people I know from past RP experiences in Forums usually have this irk about a villain being either TOO much like lore or TOO lore breaking. there is no real fine line in my eyes. I feel as if my villains in this RP event will either not live up to expectations or worse would ruin the game for people if I say use what is considered plot relevant in this realm for villainy.
"Then don't make a villain who is apart of <insert villain group>"
I have...and they were so bland and boring i had to get rid of them super fast. The past villains i had were nothing but cannon fodder for the bigger picture for my friends...Whom recently stopped RPing a lot for some reason
"You should of done this earlier"
I could but then waste character building and actual story progression. It can't be done in a week...
And you pretty much get what kind of pressure i am feeling at this time. I like writing both sides. Especially villains...but when it comes to an MMO scape it changes how i approach the whole thing. I've met a few people on other toons and dropped some hints and what not for the event in case they wish to come and see. I know not everyone will be pleased but i'd rather not piss the whole server off or come off as someone who is a bad RPer.
In short: I feel as if the near year long villain thing i had planned and slowly hinted at over the last few months will not be met with open arms when it finally comes and as such be shunned for said RP from Everyone...
