Hydaelyn Role-Players

Holy crap, there is already a community. I pre-ordered this game and thought to myself "Man, I hope a RP community develops." I was a fool.

So hello everybody! I am an RP addict that is going to be playing FFXIV with great enthusiasm. My first MMO was FFXI, so I'm excited to get back in there for some Taru Taru punting (Or whatever they're called now.) I've played and RPed in a ton of other MMOs, and it feels good to end up back in Final Fantasy.

Its always a bit nerve wracking for me trying to break into a RP community. Luckily this time around I have a friend joining the game as well, and we'll be RPing with each other to solidify some back story before the game goes live. (We're both waiting for beta keys. *crosses fingers*)

So, yeah, we'll probably be looking for a linkshell when the time gets closer. It looks like there are already some established/forming, so I'm just curious if there is any RP happening outside of the beta? I have nothing to do with my free time until this game comes out.

I could like... go make friends or something. But obviously its funner to just stare at the FFXIV homepage every night.

I guess I'm just trying to figure out where to get started here. I've been trying to do some lore research, but that'll take some more time and effort. Any info from you guys would be greatly appreciated. I'm not really sure what the first step is to becoming part of the community.

Thanks in advance for everything!

Welcome to the party man! ^-^ Glad to see you on board. I know how you feel about being the new kid on the block.

I know both the feeling of being new, and not being sure on where to start with it all.  FF14 has a ton of lore and mythology behind it; pretty dense and heavy stuff at that.  

Welcome aboard!

We could form a band... a newbie band..

We could call it Coeurls & Goobbues: An Experiment in the New.

I love it! Now quickly man, get the manager on the line! We must get this off the ground.

Allen Klein says we're not hip or new enough. I'll try and phone in Epstein maybe.

Ahhh man. We'll never be apart of the cool kids club at this rate.

Hahahaha. I think our band would end up like on Family Guy when Peter and the guys form a band after an epic night of Journey karaoke.

*They're all on stage with outrageously different outfits* "... Oh my god. We don't know any songs."

I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND

Woot! New person smell! :sniffs:

Welcome! We are happy to have more folks part of the community. Looking forward to random RPness with you.

Hello! We're always excited to see newcomers to FFXIV. Check out this thread for a lot of information and links to... well, more information. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask us. Tensions are a bit high right now, what with so much being up in the air, but we are truly glad you stopped by. And we hope you'll stay!

Oh? What's up in the air? Server stuff or what?

Well, regarding servers issues, I'll just leave this here. It details it better than I can in one post. But yes, that is one of the big issues we're having right now.
