Thought I add into this, as I see many new folks who don't know of this trick! When you like to use an animation in your poses, such as a bow, but don't want that pesky text (I know I hate that text, cause I sometimes use facepalm to remove masks/helms), all you gotta do is /wave motion By adding the word motion to any emote, it will do the animation, but not the text.

So, I have one boy on Mateus still, my oldest character, and a few over on Lamia, but I am looking at bringing a character back to Balmung as I haven't been back home on my old server in some time. I am fairly sure they don't have a block against people willing to spend money and so I'll probably be throwing over one of my alts who is almost into Heavensward and I've done some work on her. Also looking at reprising her old identity I did with her on Mateus before moving her to Lamia (and now she is going to Balmung, maaaybe). What holds me from moving her over is she is connected with Garlemald. On Mateus she was a double agent, given her half-blooded heritage of Garlean & Elezen, probably if I did bring over to Balmung, she may remain a half-breed or go full out Pureblood. This depends if there is any connections for her or a possible 'home'. Given that would place her in a possible antagonist situation (even if not, still an untrusted state), I'd at least like to see if I can get her a home or company before even thinking on the idea further of moving her over. If any are interested in lend me a hand or a group to get in touch with, that would be amazing! Till then, thank you for the read!

One thing I've learned over my 8 years of observing Yoshi P is-- he is a troll sometimes. Unless he or his team confirms something, like officially, don't place your hopes up to high. Sure, you can make up ideas, even I'm doing that, but don't be in so much anticipation that when you find out it isn't the case, you fall into despair... and then the Ascians get you. (Heck, I've been wanting to play a Pureblood since 1.0, and we didn't even know Purebloods were their own thing till like around the end of 2.0/beginning of 3.0 -- and I still wanna be one, but I am always convincing myself that no matter how much the lore is showing that it could be possible... I tell myself it will never happen xD)

I would have loved this, I /do/ love this. I tend to be a big Garlean empire fan girl since 1.0 when we first got introduced to the Magitek they had... also Gaius. I got the cutscenes that made him a very, very fascinating character back then. Sadly my Garlean boy is or was on Mateus, but now is over on Lamia. I have spoken about making an alt on Balmung again (as it was my original home going back to Besaid), but I am not sure if my life would really allow me the time or even energy to give this its proper respect. I will, however, keep an eye on this thread and your endeavors to see how it goes. I hope it goes well, antagonists groups are lovely and I am pretty sure 5.0 is going to be throwing interesting twists n' turns for those who /do/ play Purebloods & Empire Loyalists. Edit: PS - If you don't mind me joining your Discord, though I may not be able to join. That would be <3. Just cause I really, really do wanna see where this goes!

Thank you You may want to get in touch with Rhys over on Mateus, since she has the largest of the Mateus RP Discord and she the queen when it comes with Discord working. I'm not sure what other leads are out there for the other small rp groups and I'm already sure you had plans too, so I am glad to see this is happening. Honestly Roleplay to me was never really about server separation or singular server identity over another, but rather roleplayers themselves were one large family, sometimes scattered, but this will give people a chance to truly unite as a Roleplay family and a roleplay community that was and has been envisioned so long ago.

This, right here. Small pop servers need the population help, this is how Mateus was able to become what it is today. The way an RP community to grow on a current non-rp server, is you need a small population, a willing population, and the desire to just go public. Don't be afraid of trolls, take things in stride, and show the normal community that RP is not all about ERP (which is a mass public belief that is /all/ RP is about thanks to some particular sites out there for gaming news & Moon Guard). It is /NOT/ an easy task, it can be hair pulling, wall-to-head slamming, but if you have the patience, willing to endure the storms, and keep a level head, it /can/ be done.

So far... Though I have a theory on that "race", outside of the possible Viera, but I am not going to say it publicly. Just that I've been waiting since 1.0 and while it may never happen and I know to not hold my breath on it... I am just curious to see how much of those leaks are true and if speculations from said leaks are right.

While I am in the process of moving from Mateus to Lamia to aid the RP scene there, I am-- feeling 50/50 about the whole Data Center thing. Balmung, since Besaid, has always been my home. I may not currently be there, but it will forever hold a close place in my heart. However, I don't think people should see it as a massive negative either. Balmung, or should say, Besaid had the fear of having problems when we had our first merger in 1.0, it survived. It will survive and thrive, as it always has even with this new shift in Data Centers, if anything it means aiding further the smaller servers, pulling more RP communities together, since I think Goblin was trying to start one, and it will eventually all equalize out. The only big flag that worries me is a possible up tick in trolls on Crystal because they always see RPers as easy pickings for their trolldom... and with no means to now keep folks out, there could be some heavy troll traffic to try and impact events. Do I think that will last? Probably not given how seriously Yoshi-P's team handles harassment, but that is something that could also come from this. However, Crystal will have 2 of the strongest RP, nicest, and new player friendly communities together. Also those who are really darn strong in content and raiding. If anything, when these smaller servers come in, its a good time to make maybe a dedicated Crystal Discord server, get together Hunt and Raid Linkshells and start building a even tighter community even ahead of the merger. Its a big under taking, but if someone is willing to step up to do that, several in fact, it could become perhaps one of the best things to ever happen.

One, I will admit I didn't read this entire topic, so-- sorry for that! But I will say, as a female gamer, I'm straight rl-- I play all my females straight. I also play 80% of my men straight as well. There are people who want to play folks straight, you just have to be patient and they will crop up eventually. There are more of 'em out there than you realize too, just they are not so obviously looking for love in all the places.

Hey there and welcome! Hopefully you can find some connections, as many folks from the Mateus RP community tend to hang out in Discord and don't get over here much (for whatever the reason), but there are a ton of them and the tend to have regular events going on from time to time. If you like the discord servers, I can post them here for you, but again, welcome to Mateus!

Most everyone has said everyone I would say on this subject. I will admit, as a fellow roleplayer, I don't have a problem with anyone lore-bending so long as they done their homework on the subject and get fairly close to remaining true to the world. I, however, can't stand lore-breakers. I typically will let bygones be bygones, but I will be squinting at them fairly hard going, "Why are you breaking my immersion?" The rule of thumb for most people is about the same. Bending is fine, because we all bend the lore in some way in truth. Breaking however? Most people will have issues with that. Most-- not all-- but most.

Name: Garlemald Of Mateus Links: https://discord.gg/pqumWuj Brief Description: A Discord Community for Garlean Roleplayers and Supporters Of. A place where like minded individuals can get together and be able to make connections for their characters, no matter if traitor or still loyal supporter of the Empire.

While this is not my event nor am I the one running this, it was something linked on the Mateus RP HUB and given we have had many faces joining Mateus, I felt I would post this up as it is one of our regular events on the sever. For information regarding this, you can find the info on their event here: https://fallgourd-float.tumblr.com/post/174262616502/oschons-sands-mateus-server-hq-map-june-3rd If you like to join the Mateus RP HUB and keep up with the latest on Mateus RP events, you can join them here: https://discord.gg/77DDRUg

Gaius surviving doesn't really surprise me, but then again I was in that camp that has been shouting since 2.0 "He isn't dead! There is no body!" In truth, I jumped and dance in my chair soon as they zoomed in on him after his sniper-shot display and if I wasn't sure then, I was when they did his slow walk; which echoed so hard back to 1.0. If I had the video editing abilities, I'd probably do a very short clip to Elton John's "I'm Still Standing". but most of the verse leading to the whole: I'm still standing, better hand I ever been. Looking like a true survivor-- and probably ending it there. Cause no way he probably feels like a little kid. XD I'd like to know is who are the two that are with him, though I've heard speculations that they were Ascians, saved, and thus the original owners of the two red masks. Not sure I'd buy that one but heeeeey. If Zenos can body switch and Eldibus is doing his body switch, why not! I have dubbed the Ascians "Invaders of the Body Snatchers" and calling it a day. Zenos now included. (PS - I am still hoping for a Pureblood race given we are seeing more animation runs and alterations to their models. Probably won't happen, but I can dream)

Most of them tend to hang out in the Quicksands and random locations. The best way to get in touch with the RP community is also via Discords. Here are two of them and the first is the larger one. There is a ton of roleplay on Mateus, we even have some very large events, just most of them tend to linger on the Discords and less here, don't ask me why, but they do. Hope this helps! https://discord.gg/77DDRUg https://discord.gg/XsBTbZv
