Hi, I'm Vic, and I play Orleans Ignacius.
I literally just picked up the game last weekend. Â Brother beta tested the original and my other brother picked up the original in retail, both said the game was horrible. Â It sort of tainted my taste for the revision, especially considering my background (more on that later). Â But I had some spare money laying around, heard in another forum that ARR was good, and tried it. Â I've been entertained, enough that I'm probably going to get myself a subscription and start putting down some roots. Â The game's great, though I haven't really had a chance to RP in-game yet. Â Luckily, I found this place, found out there was a server with a large RP community, and started on Gilgamesh.
My RP background, as opposed to my FFXIV background, is pretty long. Â I started RPing on BBS games like Legend of the Red Dragon a long time ago, and my first board game was Dragonstrike. Â I did book gaming for a while, both White Wolf's litany of games as well as a lot of Shadowrun back in the day, but I really got into forum RP. Â I ran a thread about a city called Volins on Yahoo IM some ten to twelve years ago, and I recall it fondly. Â I still tend to be pretty long and descriptive when I post, so fair warning.
As far as games go, I actually RPed in FFXI for a while (as Ignatius) before switching to WoW during its vanilla phase. Â I've been playing it ever since an RPing in it fairly extensively. Â Lately, I've had an itch to try other games, so I tried EVE Online. Â I RPed a lot there, but I wasn't as big of a fan of the game. Â Hence my coming here and to FFXIV; I like the game and the community seems nice, so why pay a subscription for a community I like and a game I dislike?
IRL, I'm an architectural designer in Columbus, OH, happily married with a pair of dogs. Â I design hospitals and health care facilities mostly, though I'm randomly working on a television studio. Â Since the crash, we've been liable to take what we get and not worry about specialization so much. Â I'm also into playing bass and I really love music, so I will probably talk about that a lot at inappropriate times.
I suppose the only question I have coming out of the box is if there is a place to post character information for public perusal?
Anyway, hello everyone!
