Doesn't anyone Role Play anymore.Follow

I've had a bad experience with an LS, and many of it's members, I have setup my own LS, for the purpose of role playing as a party, doing quests, missions, and even leveling up as the character and giving those characters their own personalities. But it looks like no one plays this game like any of the other Final Fantasy games, all I see is "I have to level as fast as possible" or I get stuck with no exp while some high level does the quest for me. I don't want to play that way. I want to follow the story and do the quests as I find them, not have someone else do the game for me. Are there no more role players out there, or do you have to not care about playing the game. I also find no one ever reads the user agreement, or the code of conduct. No wonder so many accounts get banned, and many players become hated. Anyway if you'd like to Role Play, check out Abearsworth LS on www.playonline.com community/linkshell.

I've not checked this in a few days, but I've gotten to a point where I'm not sure I'll keep playing the game, if I can get a few people into my linkshell that do want to party as the character, it will keep me in the game. I'm mostly in Bastok right now, trying to find a job I really like, and how to set my character as who he should be for what job he is doing at the time. I'll look you up, if I find you, I hope you'll bare with me, as I try to figure out how to play and enjoy the game.

I would like to do this as well, but I have no ideal what lvl frame your looking for? I'm a 75 WHM and was working on my lvl 60 BRD. I could always start lvling another job to join.

I've gotten a few more people into my Ls and A good friend is back playing the game, was away for a bit. I'd like to make it an LS for Role Playing, but also for anyone who just loves playing the game. Doesn't matter what level any job is, I've got levels in all the beginning jobs, and have four advanced Jobs so far. I'd like to setup questing party with jobs that can do skill chains and magic bursts, and there are some quests where you will be leveled down when doing them, like the eco-warrior quest, it drops you to lv.20 and for the mission 2.3 the dragon to make rank 3, you are leveled down to 25, I've not seen all the quests and my books don't have all the new things since 2004. But My LS is more for playing the game in fun and role playing the character, but you don't have to really be into RPG per say to be in my LS. But you will get yelled at for cussing or degrading others. :-)

oh also if you'd like to join and can't find me on the game, look at
http://www.playonline.com then got to

Role Playing isn't fun at all if you don't play an RGP as it should be. I find it funny that everyone is trying to get high level fast, and more than half the quests and missions cap you are a specific level. What fun is it to make a character's level as high as you can, then don't have the room to hold lower level armor or weapons. I truly want to role play this FF XI as if it were an RPG. Like I said I played Dungeons and dragons, now that was true RPG. I had a friend join my LS and they even passed out some pearls, but no one wants to Role Play, and make the most out of a character's job. What fun is it, to level job after job when you can't use but one main and one sub. Anyway this game isn't bumming me out it's the players. I'm sure that after 5 months of trying to get somewhere in a game that is loosing it's following as it ages, and expansion packs change two months after they are sent out, I've come to find there's no point in playing a game that can't be soloed, unless you are so high it's pointless to play anyway. So I think I'm going to quit, don't need to make myself sicker by trying to play a game even kids can't play right. Not to mention the fact no one reads the code of conduct nor do people seem to care about anyone but themselves these days.

Not sure I'll be able to switch servers, I have six characters, 3 of which are what I guess some players are calling mules, the other's are for learning other races, at this time, it wouldn't be good for me to change servers since I have far to much stuff I don't want to loose yet. Thanks for the kind offer, and am glad to see that not all servers have people with no imagination and bore to easily. I may make a new hume on this other server, if I can't get my Bendaire character into a level where his Dragoon can role play with more fun. I'm looking for people who want to role play and maybe start at the beginning of the game. Not sure if I'll keep playing once my move is over. But I'm taking a bit of a break from the game, because it's not the game making me feel like quitting, It's the players who think they know everything, and don't know half of what they are talking about. To know how you can do something in a game is nothing when knowing how to really save another humans life.

Ack, switching servers to RP is a tad steep :x Must endeavor to find RP on this here Server ;-;

Niffty, I'll see what can be done.
