I was raised in a really rough neighborhood with a lot of crime so my parents weren't exactly keen on letting me wander around. ┐(´-｀)┌
Really liked .hack so I decided to just jump into the MMO scene to deal with the whole not being able to go outside much thing. First MMO was Mabinogi, I liked it since it focused on the social aspect and the world was so full of forests and plains; much better view than the abandoned buildings and overgrown lots outside!

Played from beta up until ARR launched then I came here since I got my fill of Erinn and wanted to give Eorzea a go.
