Hello all,
With the release fast approaching and third beta test ending, I've decided to search out a community of fellow roleplayers.
As the title describes, I am an antiquated roleplayer by most standards, having started tabletop roleplay almost twenty years ago when I was ten or eleven. Â Back in those days, I was handheld through Dungeons and Dragons and since then I've moved through most systems acting as gamemaster in many plot threads. Â Parallel, I was a freeform roleplayer on IRC for almost the same length of time; if you are unfamiliar with what this is, essentially a chatroom where players interact with one another as their characters and, using a paragraph or more at a time, collaboratively write. Â It's given me quite a base of writing experience though I will admit my MMO RP experience is a bit more limited.
Speaking of MMO experience. Â I have touched upon almost every MMO under the sun for a day or so, with only a few having lasted more than that. Â I, like many others, stuck with WoW from beta through Burning Crusade and fell out of it soon afterward. Â I was in a progressive raiding guild on a roleplay server there and will certainly miss the memories I had there. Â Since then I have dabbled on Guild Wars 2, however the imbalances have prompted me to step away. Â I never touched FFXIV prior to Realm Reborn, Â but I have really enjoyed my experience so far. Â The next step is just to find a good community, free company, and begin to create some wonderful stories. Â I'm not sure what class/job I want to focus on first yet. Â I was hoping for an opportunity to try the Arcanist out before live. Â I have a few character concepts in mind, though it is something I will hammer out once I am content on my selection. Â While I realize I can change any class later on, that first choice will define the character and I'm such a picky guy.
A bit about me outside of the computer; I'm a would be novelist (who isn't these days?), fitness guru with P90X/Insanity, and project manager.
