Consider this the first, even if it is 6-8 years after the fact. After CF, I played EQ, AC, AO, and COH. I still lurk quite a bit, and have had a few abortive attempts at characters over the years when inspiration hits. I think I'm in the minority here regarding play - I create a character when I have a really strong idea/persona I want to try out, and not just to 'play the game' or 'try out classes'. The closest I've come to playing again was a couple of years ago when I created a character who was intentionally profanity laden. Unfortunately, he was a little over the line and I was advised nicely by an immortal to tone it down. I tried running the character for another day or so, but he didn't feel right using euphamisms instead of straight curse words. I deleted that character - but I want to make it clear that it was because I felt like I couldn't accurately portray a character I came to play, and not because of any ill will towards the Immortal (who had every right to let me know that my character's language was over the line).
