RE: Where? - Black - 07-09-2013
I have run into two instances as far as I recall on Balmung. Most are in taverns/restaurants. One was in Limsa Lominsa.
I know as testing gets longer in period, I may start RPing more.

I switched over from Cactuar to Gilgamesh and was pleasantly surprised to find Rp'ing going on here and there. I didn't join in because I didn't want to be rude. Seems like it's equivalent to jumping into a private conversation irl.

This is true, but I also feel a bit trepadatious (sp?). like Desmond does. I can and do overcome it, but can't help I am interfering with something at times. When I start to get to know folks and be introduced, it should be better, but until then...well, my manners can be a wee bit too polite for my own good in such cases.

The toughest part is contriving a sustainable reason to interject yourself, but after that it's pretty easy. I say sustainable reason because some reasons, such as asking for directions, don't have much long term pull; they give you directions, and you leave!
Usually what I do is I listen in for a while and find a point where I can go, "Excuse me, but did you say X,Y,Z...?" which I suppose in FFXIV's more archaic language would probably look more like "Pardon the intrusion, but I couldn't help but overhear you mention X,Y,Z..." Anything that initiates a talking point and enables sharing, both from the group and from yourself, does the job well,
. In caring about what they are already talking about, you gain an inroad that is still polite! (So even if you are well mannered, you can feel good about doing it, haha.)Try it sometime. I've never regretted introducing my characters into RP I've seen in the open. The rewards are well worth the initial anxiety.

I will be on Balmung and would be more than happy to RP with anyone who wants to.
Just send me a /t in game or drop me a friend request, or message/friend me on here and we could even come up with a little plot or story to play out or something.
I can be extremely shy and apprehensive as well, which makes it difficult to just jump in to a conversation as you walk by, but I am trying my hardest to overcome this and be able to just have fun and enjoy myself.
So please lets be friends and rp and have fun!
