Hydaelyn Role-Players

Hey guys!   
I've started playing Final Fantasy back in January and had been on and off it because of school, but I'm back in full swing and ready for the summer.  So, I should be fairly more active.  Though, probably not as often as I hope when school starts, so it's totally best if I made an account on here : ).

I'm from the Siren server and while there's a few of us, pretty sure there's more of us who feel the server should be a little more open about roleplay : )!  I have a few characters on Mateus, and one on each Zalera and Balmung.  Though, I'm not really sure how we go about the multiple characters.  So, I'll have to look around further and check to see if duplicate accounts are accepted for less confusion.  But, I sorta doubt that.  Hmmm...

I'm still very much a newbie/rookie at the game, so I'm still pretty dependent on other people's help on answering questions about the game.  As well as, giving me pointers about how to play my jobs/classes properly.    And a bit about the realm (so many of my characters have mere snippets of their memories before the Calamity.)

I tried RPing on Ragarok Online, a couple of private servers and such because of a friend since I wanted to have more opportunities to roleplay.  However, that fizzled out along with her promises of helping me get used to the real-time roleplaying on MMOs, as she's currently with an exclusive private server.  ): So, I started branching out towards other games like Maple Story for a time, Lineage, and one Aeria game.  But a friend of mine on tumblr has been on FFXIV, so I've followed suit and gotten an account with SE.  : )

I have been text/novella roleplaying since I was 12/13 and I am currently in my mid twenties.  I also roleplay on tumblr, but there's not many people from the Siren because Balmung is one of the only (?) servers for roleplay.  So, my goal is to branch those options out to the other servers.

I made a group on facebook as a database for the Western release of FFXIV for anyone who roelplays on the MMO.  I'm still setting it up as it needs a cover and icon.  xD  But I hope this widens the ability to find like-minded people even further : )!

Nice to meet you.  Oops, I should probably change my display name to my character's!!! Oh man! -hides-

Welcome to the community. A lot of us have multiple characters, but we keep it to one account. It seems like you have a lot of questions about the game, in terms of both gameplay and roleplay. That's fine. Ask away. We're a helpful bunch.

Enjoy your stay!

Thank you : ) and nice to meet you!  I have all sorts of questions, but they only come up when I'm playing the game but I'll find some way to write them down.  I've started reading up on the holidays and other lore that were expanded on in the site's wiki : )!

Nice. There's a lot to learn, and you'll probably have a lot of questions.

I notice you're on Siren. I don't know much about the server, and I just came back from a pretty long hiatus from the game, but it seems to me most roleplay occurs on Balmung and Gilgamesh. Balmung is usually locked down, but if you're not too attached to Siren I'd suggest moving to one of the two. You'll have more luck finding RP on those servers. If you don't mind the RP on Siren and think they have enough roleplayers for your liking, more power to you. Just a thought.

Let me know if you have any questions, or just browse the forums to see if someone has asked a similar question. The people here are always happy to help.

I've got a character on Balmung just recently (Ostara Argent) and yes it's extremely hard, I have to wake up early just to get one character on a crowded server.  And yes there isn't much roleplaying on Siren (you'll have to squint really hard), but I have four characters on there and there's a linkshell that Tyoli made (he made a thread urging people to rp on Siren a while ago).  Hopefully with the fb group I made, I can give more awareness to the smaller servers' rp communities.  It might spread the roleplay.

But what I heard, people are suggesting that Siren will follow after Gilgamesh and Balmung footsteps.  I'm not sure how, since I haven't caught other roleplay friendly link-shells.  I may move my Mateus characters to Balmung, eventually.

Hello there, welcome!

Welcome to the RPC! ^^ If you need lore help lemme know or feel free to post up your questions on the forums here and they'll get answered. The same goes for class mechanics help! I main WAR, PLD, BRD, and SCH mainly, so my advice would be mostly limited to those. Anyways, hope you find what you're looking for here and again, welcome!

@Faye: Hello, and nice to meet you too!

@Sounsyy: That's fine, a good number of my characters started in Gladiator.  Ostara, on Balmung is a Marauder.  On Cordelia (Gladiator), in the Siren server, despite her lady-like mannerisms she wants to learn every martial art.  : )  Ciara (Gladiator) and Jocelyn who are on Siren as well, are very violent Eles, but Ciara is the quieter of the two.  Jocelyn is just brazen for a range fighter (archer).  Anthea's pretty congenial on Siren(Pugilist), so she'd make friends with everyone : >!  But yes, I do have all sorts of questions and I will try to out people on Siren who roleplay : )!

Welcome!

@Lililove: Thank you very much. u 3 u
