Another joins the herd

Hey there, one and all!  

 

I heard distant whisperings of a place like this on various other forums, and after solidifying my interest in A Realm Reborn, I tracked you guys down, and am interested in getting involved in this community.  

 

A bit about myself, then: I am 24 years old, male.  Live in the cold, foggy northern part of California.  I am a small time writer with a collection of local and national publications under my belt, in addition to being a freelance editor.  I love music.  I love stories.  And I have been recently looking to rekindle my love for roleplaying. 

 

I cut my MMO teeth on FFXI for several years before switching to WoW and discovering MMO style roleplay.  I loved a lot of it; the stories, the interactions, the additional depth to the game.  I wasn't so on board with a lot of the cliquish and closed communities but I met a lot of people roleplay that I still talk to to this day.  (Including my girlfriend whom I've been with for three years next month.) I briefly played 14 before it collapsed and I loved what I saw of the world.  

 

I am mostly interested in getting to know folks around here and possibly getting into a linkshell.  I really loved the sense of community that FFXI fostered and would be thrilled if some of that carried over from there.

Welcome! If you loved what you saw of 1.0's world.. oh man. ARR is mind-blowing.

Hahaha.  It really isn't as fun as it sounds.  Our seasons range from foggy to slightly less foggy-maybe-it's-bluesky-oh-wait-that's-just-more-fog-nevermind.

I have a screenshot folder full to the brim from just this latest beta test weekend.  The world of ARR has me stopping every couple of seconds and turning into a tourist.  I love it.  

 

Thanks for the warm welcome!  I'm looking forward to being a part of a community like this one.
