I kind of scare myself off a bit. Partly anxiety, partly because I'm so used to people in other MMO's telling me to bugger off. I'm sorry if it came across as me being contrary or anything! D:
Thanks all, I probably come across as the worst person ever XD As I say, I am so so used to being told to get lost or to go away when trying to join in on other games, that I've kind of schooled myself into thinking it'll happen here and so I might hang around RP areas and instead people watch rather than join in >_<
@Xieveral I worry about that as well, that people might just be like 'Your character sucks, gtfo' or something, so I tend to sort of back off and watch others RP.
Delainaut reminds me of my guy Del, he's quiet and shy, bit socially awkward. Kind of like me. Where as my Dragoon who I plan on transferring is really calm, cool, collected and bad ass. xD
Thank you so much for all the replies everyone, it's all really encouraging to hear that people honestly don't mind. I will definitely try the cold /tell thing at some point and see if I can't network a bit with people. I do need to get WoW out of my head a lot, as it's one of the main reasons I'm so cautious about other players.
Oh hey! I just noticed you said Europa and I realized I'm there too. Hit me up whenever if you wanna hang or establish some sort of RP practice session. I'd be glad to help!
