The first question I'd like to pose is what would you like to accomplish as far as RP? There are many flavours of RP here and finding out what you'd like to do would be a great starting point.

Starting a new character is always fun but if you'd like a wider array of content as far as game goes (and as far as gear and glamours go), I'd recommend transferring your main. (Though this costs $18 to do.)

I created a character and starting playing just to get a feel for the game before I came up with a RP character first, and it feels like there are a lot of different way's to RP on here.

In terms of starting, there seem to be 2 different takes on it, depending on how you like to do it. There is 1. Planning a character and backstory before you start to play, and 2. Going in and developing your story as you go.

I personally LOVE creating a character and backstory first.

I think I am going to start a character and build as a I go to get a feel for RP. I think I am going to start on Balmung and just feel things out and if I feel like things are going well/good fit I will build a back story for my main and transfer her over from Adamantoise. 

What I am really looking for is a group that doesn't mind helping out a noob get her feet wet.

They wanted to help me out, but they didn't want to be bored killing level 10 monsters all day.

My point being, I decided to make new friends online as well that were new and my level, and we helped each other level together and progress through the quests together and were much more helpful then any seasoned player could have been. And most of them ended up becoming the core friends I played with till I stopped playing wow. 

So I would love to accompany you with your new character if you will have me.  And hopefully, we can acquire a few others to join us on our journey's.

However, I am not transferring any characters to Balmung unless by the time my character is well leveled the server isn't open still I will. :/

Otherwise, the server is often closed to new characters. I'd recommend just transferring your main here, since otherwise you'd be paying just to transfer an alt. But if you want to leave your main on your current server, you could still transfer an alt, or try your luck at making an alt on Balmung.

I would love to have your company on my journey! 
I am not looking to be Power leveled but rather someone to show me the ropes of RP. What server are you on? I would love to start a new adventure with new friends!
