How long have you been roleplaying?

I think I started when I started high school so 2009-2012. But when I went to college in 2013 life happened and I stopped.

 

I have been roleplaying since 2005. I started on neopets before getting invited to join a site on acornrack. It’s been a constant hobby ever since. There are some people in my current writing community I have been writing with since I was in high school.

 

I've been playing DnD for 6 years now. I shifted to include forum RPs I think for 4 years. 3 of which have been on COTF as of this week and I don't think I'll ever leave. I love that site.

 

Oof, I had to count years XD around 28, if I carried the two properly? Not always consecutively, and some years it was all tabletop and no forum, and some years it was the other way around. But it's been a part of my life since I was very young and I'm glad to say I've never grown out of it :)

 

Oh gosh, I've been RPing since I was a kid, so maybe... since mid 2000s? I honestly don't remember exactly, but at best guess I started at least 15 years ago, and I've RPed off and on ever since!

 

over 20 years! and sadly, roleplaying has changed just so much over the years!!!

 

So lets see, I started on D&D (pre AD&D) back in the 80's then Ran a BBS in 87-90 called NEVAH, 90- 96 I ran White Wolf Table Tops with VtM. After that I went Online, MMO's and IRC Chat RP, Of course then came AOL, MSN, Oasis, and finally Forums which is where I'm presently participating so lets see all together...

Almost 40 years. not as long as some I see in here though!

 

About 15 years, give or take!

 

Probably 22 1/2 years? It's hard to remember exactly when I first dabbled in forum or chat RP, and there were a couple of years before that where I was involved in RP-adjacent fanfic spaces and cowriting them with my best friend, and sometimes talking out conversations like we were the characters. 20+ years, regardless!

 

Oh man, probably... 16 years now? God, I feel old.

 

On forums? about 17 years (Holy moly). I got my start in chatrooms back in like 1999 though OOF.

 

For over 20 years - I started "collaboratively writing" with my sister via MS word documents on Saturdays when we were at home during the day. She'd write some kind of intro, go away for an hour or so to let me read and reply, and we'd carry on swapping like that throughout the day. Honestly, Halcyon days. I'm sure she got the idea from the forums she'd been on. My original stomping grounds was the roleplaying forums on Neopets (how restrictive!) before I moved off there onto forums like invisionfree and proboards (honestly, does anyone use forums for anything other than roleplaying these days, LOL?)

 

Since 2014! So almost ten years now :)

 

I joined my first RP forum in 2008, though I stopped for a long time before getting back into it

 

I don't actually remember the exact year that I began roleplaying. I think it was 2005, but it could have been 2004. I started out on Invisionfree forums, mainly Harvest Moon. I had dabbled a little bit in Pokemon at the time as well. I remember the whole debacle of Invisionfree shifting a lot of their forums to "zetaboards" and the controversy that caused at the time.

Then Jcink cropped up as the replacement to Invisionfree and all the zetaboard haters. Somewhere along the line, I remember it went from zetaboards to like... tapatalk. Which was bizarre.

 

I would say on and off, around 20 years. I got started relatively late, in my mid 20s when a bunch of friends wanted to be nostalgic and play some Palladium games. I still play with those friends and Palladium keeps coming up (sigh).

 

I started under 13, and now I'm turning 30 in a few months! Took a long break in between of about 10-15 years
