So, World Transfers are here, for good or for bad. For me, it's an opportunity to find a home on another server with a larger circle of friends. Bahamut is fine as servers go. I'm not that interested in which server is better than the others, or which one has less jerks, or less competition for this or for that. The fact is, I only know a few on Bahamut, and we aren't members of the same LS, nor do we play at the same times. It's pretty lonely, and since I haven't had any luck finding an LS here, I thought that maybe I'd have better luck somewhere else.
It's worth a shot, anyway. Anywho...
About Me:
I'm a nice guy. At least, I think so. I try to be as good as possible at any job I play. I'm helpful, or at least I try to be. If there is something that I can help with, no matter how large or small, I'm there. If it's something that requires a ton of organization, and you want me to do all of that, well...I might suggest you look elsewhere. But otherwise? Totally there.
I'm chatty. Maybe too chatty for some people. I recognize that. That said, I don't chat just for the sake of chatting. I chat because I have something to say. I can be curt, and a bit abrupt at times. That's just my way. I don't mean anything by it, and I don't hate you. I mean, maybe I do, but you'll never know it. I don't care for drama. I don't like to start it, and I don't like to be a part of it. However, I'm not afraid to call someone on it if they are lying about something. I'm somewhat unforgiving. If you hurt me, or one of my friends, it's unlikely that I'll ever trust you again. If you steal something, or lie, same deal. I have seen so many people get away with the most ridiculous behavior in these games because they play a job that people need, or because they have been in the guild/shell a long time. Fuck that noise. There is always another Job X out there, and likely one that isn't going to put the group through a bunch of bullshit.
Not too many people here have ever met me in-game. I can't really say what they think of me (but I think it's mostly positive). Maybe if Kirst or someone wanted to say something about my skill/playing style/whatever, that'd be cool, but if not, that's cool too. I know I'm not exactly objective about myself.
Job Levels (over 30)
Red Mage 75
White Mage 42
Black Mage 40
I'm currently working on leveling NIN (to 40) and DRK (to 37). After that, I'll level BRD to at least 37 in order to finish up my RDM subs. Then I plan to level something else to 75. I don't know what, but I'll have it figured out by the time it's time to choose.
Mission Status
San d'Oria - 6-2 Ranperre's Final Rest
Zilart - 14 Ark Angels
Promathia - 2-5 Ancient Vows
Aht Urghan - 12 Royal Puppeteer
I'd like to finish up my nation missions (Rank 10), and then switch to Windurst or Bastok and do it all over again. I really want to finish the expansion mission lines as well. I hate that I'm nearly done with Zilart, and that I've barely made any progress on CoP or ToAU. I've just never been able to manage more than a few pickup groups here and there in this area, despite my best efforts.
I'd like to do Assault. Regularly if possible. Various endgame activities are ok for the future, but they aren't a priority right now.
What I'm Looking For:
I've been in a lot of Guilds and Linkshells in my time online. Most of them were fine, but a handful of them were really great. The ones I've loved had a few things in common.
- There was a genuine sense of camaraderie. I knew that at any time of day there would be someone to chat with, or someone who would want to team up for exp, farming or questing. People were genuinely happy to see others log on, and looked forward to seeing each other the next day.
- (As an extension of the above) New members were treated much the same as old members. People who knew each other IRL were treated much the same as those who were only known online. There weren't any overt cliques or any obvious favoritism. For example: In WoW, our guild had a Husband/Wife team. But rather than always teaming up with each other (not that they didn't from time to time), they were often found doing entirely different things on opposite sides of the world, with various guild mates (the wife and I were farming partners, while the husband and I were early morning quest grinding partners).
- There was a "no man left behind" mentality. If someone got stuck on a mission, or if they were having trouble getting invites on a particular job, people banded together to help that person out, and get them over the hump, whatever it happened to be.
Ideally, I'd like to find a group that shared some of these common characteristics again.
I realize this is a ridiculously wordy post, and that most of you won't read it, or if you do, you'll think I'm asking for too much, or that I'm not the kind of person you'd want on your server. And that's cool. I probably am asking for too much, and you probably wouldn't like me. But for one or two folks out there, maybe it's just enough, and maybe you just might.
Comments/suggestions/insults, are all welcome.
