Hey, so as the topic says, I'm looking for steady RP partners. I'm loving the game so far but my experience with RP in FFXIV seems to be lacking which is a tad upsetting. The only character I have is C'vah Nunh, a Miqo'te Seeker. Feel free to add me in-game or message/reply here and we can arrange something!
Not sure if he'll get along with my loud foul mouthed Roegadyn, but I'll message you the next time I log in ^^.
Just wanted to add in there, I'm willing to roll another character.
UPDATE: Still looking for some steady RP partners ^_^
I'm looking for some too! I'll be on this evening. Feel free to message me. D'ren Tia.
I've not had much luck finding anyone to RP with so far either so I'll look out for you the next time I log in.
seems to be a common problem unless you network with a few LS groups. ^^; I keep my search information set to rp. So unless I appear to be afk (i normally set my tags to show that) feel free to hit me up.
I've got a Seeker alt who I haven't RPed much yet so her story is quite open to new connections. Give me a poke on T'yareth Sehn, or if I'm not actively playing her at the mo, Rinh Hallani.
I see this problem
all the time. There are always people, usually newcomers, who struggle to "find" RP. There are a lot of reasons for this and I have a wall of text post I could make here, but I don't want to take your thread in a direction you may not want to take it. So do you want me to post my wall of text advice post here, or in a separate thread?

 I wouldn't mind it if you would be so kind. ^^
Well, as for me, if you're looking for (this applies to everyone reading this) RP with me, don't be afraid to add:
Lost River, Lucinne Jandalaine, or Orella Blackthorne. Add all three, got to collect them all!
I might make a special LS for Lost and not a FC, as it's something else more 'secretive'.
The Catalyst Project. :3 Everyone gets amazing black linkpearls!

The Catalyst Project is simple, really. You take a sentient (non-monstrous but more manipulative voidsent) such as like the one in the THM story. But instead of letting them possess you, you merge with them. It destroys their semblance of sentient thought, you gain extra aetheric power, but the side effects is it colors your personality to a different shade, makes you grow a little more 'mad' and in some cases, mutates your physical form. Generally eye color turning to red is the first indication.
You basically consume the voidsent to gain it's power. :3 It being a Catalyst as it's the first part of the transformation. It's a power grab to gain the power of old Black Mages... and of course, meteor, meteor, meteor.
I was open world rping last night, someone who had died, and was lying unconscious near us, whispered me expressing how thankful he was to have overheard our conversation xD
The funny thing is, me and my rp buddy were both healers, and could have helped him with his unconscious problem!
Open world RP is rare. Your best bet is to seek out Linkshells, ask for RP in shout, or go to public spaces (such as a tavern in any starter town). If you find open world rp, its likely to be there.
In my last game, I ran improv/rp classes for beginners, and even did some of that here during beta. I may take that up again starting this weekend. Send /tell to Isielin Danar'i if interested (i'm on most weeknights) and I'll certainly host gatherings with the express intent on trying to help others learn rp, and make rp connections <3
I wouldn't call it all that rare... that or I just have uncanny luck in coming across groups doing just open rp. I know the free company I'm in, all of our group sessions are more or less open. I mainly see them around towns or quest hubs though.
