Salutations! - Hastur83 - 06-23-2015

Hello, I was given FFXIV on Steam from a buddy after I played the 14-day trial. My playtime might be a little sporadic, I'm in between careers ATM, but I still have a whole 30 days of playtime at least! 

Anyways, so I'm a RPer and I heard this was the community for that stuff, so here I am! I already have a character concept in mind, but I do have a question. Balmung and Gilgamesh are basically out of reach for new characters. It's literally locked 24/7, and I know that because my sleep is screwed up. I'm guessing it's due to the AFKers. Is there a third alternative for RPers? Or am I just out of luck?

Actually, the servers are just that populated. Right now, you get booted if you're afk for half an hour.

I've had some luck on Jenova, but I imagine most servers have a couple RPers on them.

It's hard to believe servers are still that populated at 3-4-5 in the morning. I saw in a few places Siren was building up a small rp community, any experience there?

They just happen to be the two most populated worlds in the game. I, for example, play that early/late, and I'm hardly unique. ::shrug::

I don't have any characters on Siren, sorry.
