How long have you been roleplaying?

I think I've been roleplaying since... 2005? It's been on and off since then, but more years spent writing than not. Most of that time has been spent managing my own forums, but also a few stints on others to just keep things different and varied if I ran the risk of running out of steam.

 

I started roleplaying (badly) in 2000, but got serious and created my first RPG in 2003. So, about 22 years but I had a 15 year long hiatus during that time. During the hiatus, I still thought about my characters and invented little RPs in my head, but never wrote anything down. I'm so happy that I've gotten back into it and wish I had never stopped.

 

14 years now! Met my best friend on my very first forum rp too. She was my maid of honor in my wedding this past fall. We would've never met if it weren't for rps

 

I've been playing for about ten years. I originally got hooked on a Warriors Cats rp on Wikis by Wetpaint actually, back in the day when they did forum sites.

 

So long... definitely over 10 years. Probably more like 16+? I was definitely in middle school.

 

18 years

 

How long.... wow...looking back about 20 years... most of in chat roleplay and then I discovered forum roleplay and LOVE IT

 

Oh my goodness !!! What a question !! Well lets see... I remember America Online... ya know AOL with dial up and that distinctive sound... scrolling thru the chat rooms, both public and private (when I asked in LOL). I remember Rhydin, Red Dragon Inn, and rapid-fire roleplay in those chat room... RP that took so much time away because you *HAD* to be present !!!

OMG !!! I still have some of the frigging logs from way back then.

And then came... ProBoard websites for the RPGs. I remember editing the "Logs" so we could post on a site... And I and a partner-in-crime named Olivia ran one called "Skye-The Winged Isle" (StWI) that ran fast and furious for 5, almost 6 years... And then AOL petered out...

Ummm... was 1993 or 4... so yeah, been around awhile !!!

 

>.> 23 years now... T-T sooooo old....

 

@[hitokuchiroleplay] Nahhhhhhh, age is not a factor after 18, when you roleplay... rp til ya drop, I say

 

Since the Cretaceous period... I mean, since late 1990's... hehe.

 

About 25 years for me, started in 1997!

 

I started in 1996

 

I started in 2007 but it's been very on and off... So I can't really say it's been exactly 15 years, I guess. As a cumulative I'd say maybe around 5.

 

I don't remember the date I joined a Forum rp but it's been at least 20 years

 

Between 15 and 20 years, but with some hiatuses in between.

 

About... 2002? Give or take a year. Which means I finally hit 20 years heck yeah.

 

Too long, honestly. I've taken breaks here and there, and started off of forums.

 

it's been almost 20 years for me. i can't remember exactly the age i was when i started, but it was around when i was 9 years old. my writing was pretty bad, and i started out playing wolf characters in an mmorpg lol

 

I've been roleplaying since 2001 around the time MySpace was released. I was on there and AOL chat room boards for a long time before in 2007 I found forum roleplays to join and become stuck with glue to.
