Hello everyone, :P - Enzo - 11-16-2013
I am new to FFXIV. I have played many many other mmorpgs in the past and the one I play the most was WoW. I used to RP a lot on WoW but I have a bad tendency of making unimportant loner characters who do not really get to know anyone X_X. I am trying to get more involved in the Roleplay community and so thats why I am here. I hope I can get to know you all and we can have fun roleplaying together.
I am on the server Gilgamesh. I would like to get involved in some Roleplays although I am not sure how to include my character or how to find any. I followed the same idea of all my past characters and made mine a reclusive loner. So I will need you guys to make my character involved. Cause I do not see how I can involve myself when I try to avoid others. X_X lol. My name is Xefjord Kiromeda. Feel free to add me and if you know any roleplays I can maybe get involved in I would love to hear about them.

Welcome to the community!
Even reclusive loners can be helpful sometimes. ;P Maybe your character could involve him/herself during a battle of some sort, and go from there. C:Â
Either way, have fun!

But I can't handle everything myself which is why I need friends lol. With your battle suggestion. That would be good, but I do not always know who is RPing and even if they are they could just be grinding and not want to RP at the moment. When someone helps you in a fight you ussually don't expect them to be trying to initiate a RP do you?

Hello Xefjord, welcome to the RPC.
While in character you may not go out of your way to meet people, theres' plenty you can do out of character to facilitate interactions, such as planning to be in an area alongside another event. (If you check the RPC calendar, I believe there is an open event being hosted on the weekend.)
You can also check out:

Its a large OOC linkshell on Gilgamesh that helps roleplayers fine other people.
While i'm not on Gilgamesh much i'm sure, if you manage to put yourself out there as the person, your Character will have the chance to get dragged along on an adventure or two.
Also, here are a few links that might help you on your way.

Is just a general welcome post that covers some of the tools here at the RPC

Is more of a hand guide to the different styles, types and people you might in Roleplay. Its a fairly lengthy read, but you can gloss over the parts you feel are a re-tread, or treat it as a refresher!
Hope that helps, and best of luck in Eorzea. With time, patience and some good people, even this recluse gets out some times.
