Bah. Â I guess we'll see.

I believe filling in the grey areas of lore is totally a-ok and can add more to the already exciting and lush universe. I suppose that what I care to avoid, personally, are characters from other universes derived from anime or other MMORPGs, which I have found to be... not necessarily common, per se, but definitely an existent trope!
(I had the treehouse first!! Haha)
Haha! Well, I have to defend the people bringing in OoU character, somewhat. Â I did that when I was new to MMORP, and largely used it to explained why I didn't know much about the lore. Â
However, it wasn't long before someone pointed out that I was sort of doing myself a disservice with that method by sort of ignoring the world and it's lore. Â I tend to agree. Â Now-a-days I just have characters that are largely ignorant of their own history (Learning the lore along with my character is rather enjoyable, I've found)
Oooh... that's a very good point for someone to have made. Yep, making a character who's ignorant of their culture or history so as to allow both the player and character learn can be so much fun. That's actually what I did with my first character on FFXIV, haha! It really helped me learn as well as provide my character with a goal to set themselves to and a reason to socialize with others. Also, regarding queue times, if you commonly log in around this time, the queues are very short and forgiving, as I'm seeing
"Low-Effort Posting"Â is a silly rule, so it looks like time for me to depart FFXIV-roleplayers.com! I have no interest in a site turning to elitism to get their moderators to moderate.
