Balling Up the Character Sheet

[Koninbeor]

I also recently felt that my character was derailed beyond repair for various reasons. For me, the solution ended up being a completely new character. I'm happy with my class, just not with my character. I used Fantasia to change my race, date of birth, and god. After that, I paid for a server transfer and created a character with my old character name on the server so I'll be forced to change names when I transfer back. Speaking of which, I forgot to transfer back last night. Anywho, I get a brand new character this way without losing any the hours I put into leveling and I can recreate the old character and put him on the backburner in case I ever have the urge to RP with him. Of course, leveling him a second time isn't likely, so he'll probably be an RP only character.

Welp, I was as close to the "edge" as I had come with this character, even going so far as to have cancelled my service account...but a day afterwards I immediately regretted trying to wipe all traces of the game from my drive.

 

I owe it to myself, and to anyone who would like to interact with Steel, to try again and apply myself.  Right now I'm dabbling in different classes to see which feels good and is a fun fit.  MRD and LNC so far are bringing the most enjoyment PvE-side, and I'll get myself more involved in things RP-side.

 

Thanks, as usual, to everyone in this forum for their thoughts and help and support.  I am SO glad I found this site.  <3

I'm glad you're sticking around, Steel. It was fun RPing with you at the V-day ball, I'm looking forward to more.

I'm so very happy to see this!

 

Kage's totally becoming a lvl50 paladin this week so if you ever need a tank and I'm available I'd totally help ya if you're going in with your LNC. You don't need me at all as a MRD. ;

Yeees, I was going to suggest on top of leveling the other tank class, to level a dps class too. Not only can dps classes be fun, but they will also make you a better tank!

I am really enjoying poking things with a long, pointy stick.  Marauder is quite fun, but all that aggression and damage output might be stuffed by the wayside once I get into the tanking game again...which gives me a bit of a sad.

 

Unless, of course, I'm tanking BECAUSE of aggression.  Which would give me a happy.

 

Either way, the change has been welcome to the point that I'm considering shelving the PLD kit and working towards WAR or DRG.  Either way, I'm having fun again.  That, and last night saw some random pickup RP, which always makes me unnaturally happy.  :3

It looks like you've really found something to get into and people had some good suggestions  Don't do things that make you unhappy! >
