*coughs and points towards title* I may be kicking up some dust in Thanalan. I actually thought about doing some big stuff, but honestly after playing an antagonist almost exclusively, I have come to learn that there are lots of things that can go wrong when doing large scale events.
You have your "I just want to win crowd", your white knights (and boy are there a lot), your metagamers, your DBZ characters, your super special snowflakes with amazing powers, and all the other tropes we have come to know. I play an antagonist because I enjoy conflict filled stories of drama, but I also know that you put yourself at risk of causing your character to become completely alienated. You can't go walking around town and hanging out because someone will point at you and go "hey, isnt that the person who kicked my chocobo in the knee last week?". I actually ended up retiring Denn a few months ago (and quitting the game for 2 months) because she had caused so much trouble that she became unplayable.Â
And maybe that is why I dont see many criminals hanging around. I think you are on the right track of finding a group and planning some RP with them. I'm actually doing the same with the little group that I managed to cook up. I mean its okay if spills out a little bit and ends up grabbing some other people, but in my own opinion, RP conflict on a larger scale (group v group) should be kept a bit more localized to avoid headaches ^^.
