Newbie coming right up - lysian - 02-22-2014 Hello everyone~! I'm Lysian and I'd like to take this chance to say to introduce myself to everyone. I am fairly new to RP-ing in mmorpgs, I've never actually done it properly. Like sure I've done a few characterized dialogues with my friends but I want to try a more consistent roleplay within my Journey in Eorzea. I played ff14 during the ARR beta to the free one month and now I've recently come back temporarily for a few months just to have fun get back into it, only this time I've decided to participate in an RP server so that it isn't just the usual grind. My ign is Lysian Uemitas and I'd love to meet new people and join an fc RE: Newbie coming right up - Maqali Qulaan - 02-22-2014 Hi Lysian! Welcome to the RPC, and welcome back to Eorzea! Feel free to say hi any time you'd like- I'm always up for RPs with new peoples, and I can also help you out with crafted stuffs too, if you're in need of equipment. Janna (that's my character ) is currently lurking about Gridania, but she can find her way just about anywhere if needed. Hope to catch you in game some time RE: Newbie coming right up - Gar - 02-22-2014 Welcome to the game. MMO RP has always been a favorite of mine because I get to play dress up with my character on top of RPing.  I lead an LS and a FC full of people who'd love to RP with you. I'll try and get a hold of you in-game. Let us know if you have questions or need anything. I know how daunting it is trying to step into a new community. RE: Newbie coming right up - Olofantur - 02-22-2014 Hello Lysian, welcome to the RPC! Don't worry about "proper" roleplay, there are a dozen different styles and as many variations for the situation they're in! Anyroad its good to hear you've decided to take the plunge. In an effort to give you a sample of whats out there i've compiled a small list of links i'd like to share. http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/misc.php?page=welcome This Welcome post is from the RPC to all new members and outlines both the community history as well as some of the key features of the site, such as the wiki, the calendar and the forums. Speaking of Calendar, there are two events occurring on Balmung today that you might want to take a peek at: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/calendar.php?action=dayview&calendar=1&year=2014&month=2&day=22 One hosted by the Harbingers of Dawn and the other being held outside Ul'dah at the Coffer and Coffin. If you'd like to learn a bit more about RP on a general level, want to know a bit about how some people approach it, or just want a reference on hand the RP handbook by Eva is an excellent resource: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=1770 On to a few sample communities! In game there are quite a few linkshells all with different goals and methods but I have two fairly generic ones that are a good starting point for getting to meet some of the players out there. http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=1902 "Intermission" is an OOC linkshell that boils down to a chat room at the heart of things. Talk about the game, a patch, a different game, a quest, a location, and oh so much more. If you'd like to get to know the player before the character, this is a good place to start! http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=5045 "Balmungs Finest" is another OOC linkshell but with a narrower goal. To provide a way for PVE players to get their fix. If you want to farm a dungeon for some swanky RP gear, or just need help with the story line dungeons and don't like the random strangers of the duty finder, this is a good option. I hope you're able to find at least something in the above. As always, please remember that the RPC is here to help, if you have questions, comments or concerns you are free to voice them here, there are plenty of people who will offer advice, opinions or opportunities to discuss things both in-game and elsewhere. Best of luck out there RE: Newbie coming right up - Faye - 02-22-2014 Hey there, welcome to the RPC! Harbingers of the Dawn is a good-aligned, med-heavy RP FC dedicated to protecting and aiding the citizens of Eorzea. We also have an IC LS. We'd be happy to have you! You can learn more about us here or on our site. Please contact me if you're interested! Also, I'm happy to RP anytime so feel free to approach me if you see me around!
