I've told this story a lot, but I started RPing when I was playing the MMO City of Heroes. I saw people talking IC and I asked what they were doing. They told me and I joined, eventually coming to like it. After that, I played other MMOs and RPd in them, but often the community was too chaotic and bad so I gave it up for a time. The RP bug bit me and I eventually found my way on to here.
