Hi. I'm new, and I'm looking to introduce myself. Well, I guess that's out of the way now. What else..
--MMORPG background
Played Guild Wars then City of Heroes/Villains for a couple years. Then I played Final Fantasy XI for a year about three years ago. I played Star Wars: The Old Republic, but only for a few months. I've never really been a huge fan of the MMO genre.
--RP experience
I used to RP on miscellany forums as a teen, and I was always very apt at it. Having dreamed of becoming an actor as a kid, putting myself in the soul of a character was always a second nature to me.
Guild Wars gave me my first MMO RP experience, and I found it glorious.
I was in the Forever Knights ( http://www.guildwars.com/community/guild...nights.php ) for the entire time, and it was that guild who showed me just how much more immersing and grandiose an MMO could be if you "lived" your character. After that I moved to the Virtue server of City of Heroes/Villains, and I also had great RP experiences there, of a less organized and more random and spontaneous nature with many people on that server for about a year. I think I never saw as much free going and spontaneous, "anytime RP" as in CoH/V. It was great.
Since then however, I haven't had the chance to RP much at all in the last 6 years or so. I never really found a role-playing Linkshell in FFXI, which was in great part why I was disinterested in the game after the first year. This last year I played SW:TOR for a short period of time, and while I had joined a truly amazing RP guild, JEDI ( http://thejedlorder.enjin.com/ ), I found the game itself rather stale and couldn't play it for very long.. I'm hoping that with FFXIV, I can relive the wonderful sensation of feeling truly immersed in the game-universe, once more.
--Character ideas/info
None at the moment. I bought the game yesterday.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
Google Search "FFXIV RP Server".
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
Medium to Heavy, but since I haven't role-played in years, I'd currently qualify myself as Light.
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing?
STDs.
