Hi all,

I started keeping a livejournal for one of my characters. I tend to do this with different games I play as it helps me stay interested and develop my characters further.

If anyone else is on livejournal and posts about their tera journeys then please let me know! There doesn't seem to be a community on that site for it yet so this is the only way I could think of to find others who might do something similar.

Anyway even if you aren't on livejournal but would like to read through my gaming entries feel free, I'll be attempting to update daily or every other day:

Very interesting. I like how you flesh out the quests so they seem more realistic than 10 minutes of fighting. I'd be interested to read more about Anareh's character, like the things she left behind in Pora Elinu and how she feels about coming to Dawn, or what her hopes for the future are.

Thank you very much for your review! I'll definitely keep those things in mind as I continue writing. I've honestly kind of avoided writing much about Pora Elinu as I don't know much about it apart from the Lore I found on this site. If you have any other links that describe it that would be very helpful to me. This is my first character as I didn't go through Beta so Island of Dawn and Velika are all I've seen so far.

I enjoyed reading your journal, Anareh.

Thanks for reading Onizel! :)

That's really cool. I've never heard of livejournal before but I really like how you're using it. I'm currently not playing TERA, but have decided that after I build a PC this summer I'll be getting it, so now I'm trying to figure out a server to play on. I'm excited about the idea of RPing in this game, and I may try it out when I get the game in a couple of months.

BTW, I was also reading some of your FFXI posts. I played for a couple of years quite awhile ago. Quitting it was very difficult for me as well, so your experience with quitting the game and how it affected you really struck a chord with me.

But yes, I really liked your posts. Hope to keep seeing them in the future!

Thank you for reading Zozzie. I enjoy livejournal, I find it's a clean and easy to use site for blogging; content sharing on it is not as easy as Blogspot or Tumblr.

I'm glad you read some of the FFXI entries too and it makes me happy that it reminded you of your time playing FFXI. FFXI was definitely a big part of my life for the time I played it; I made a lot of great friends on it who I've managed to stay in relatively strong contact with over the years despite all of us leaving the game.

When you start playing Tera, definitely look me up! Currently I play mostly on Dragonfall PVE server as Anareh, though I also intend to play on a PVP server and Celestial Hills as well.

So send me a private message on here or you can just post anonymously on my livejournal (if you don't have an account there) to get in contact with me. Look forward to seeing you in Tera!

For anyone interested, another entry was added to Anareh's livejournal, enjoy!

I'll definitely keep that in mind. And also try to keep up with your journals. Do you openly RP with people on Dragonfall even though it isn't an RP server? Or do you just write about it?

Not generally, on Dragonfall I usually only focus on PVE content with some of my friends. I have two other friends who I RPed with initially on Dragonfall but our general consensus was that we'd all just create alternate-universe versions of our characters that we want to RP and put them on Celestial Hills when the server was ((finally)) released. Since I am focusing on reaching endgame with my Dragonfall character, I generally find it's more relaxing to just switch to my Celestial Hills character and RP there.

I'm definitely not opposed to RPing on Dragonfall but I haven't heavily looked for others to RP with on that server.

The screenshots featured on Anareh's journal are mostly taken on her alternate-universe self on Celestial Hills. Doing this kind of allows me to enjoy both of my main goals at once; I get to level quickly but still pay close attention to the storyline/content that I probably just breezed through the first time to get quests done faster. It also allows me to make connections between story lines in the game when I completely missed an NPC's connection to something the first go-around.

I feel like my response was way longer than it needed to be so condensed answer:
No, generally I don't RP on Dragonfall and leave my RPing to take place on Celestial Hills and in my writing.

Longer posts are always nice. They give you more information which is exactly what I'm looking for, so I thank you for that.

And ya, that clears up some questions for me. I had the impression that you were RPing pretty openly on a PVE server, so it made me wonder if RPing on a non-RP was common and/or accepted well. But your answer helps me out a good bit.
