Howdy Doody! - Whuggles - 04-20-2014
Hi folks! Just picked up FFXIV and am mostly new to the series, though I played one or two of the old GBA games and Crystal Chronicles on Gamecube. I'm an active role player on World of Warcraft and thoroughly enjoy getting to use speech and language in such creative ways.Â
Anywho!Â
I got started on a server that my friend's characters were on, and at 16 levels in, it struck me that surely somewhere in this game there is an RP community. That being said, it seems to be common knowledge that Gilgamesh is the most popular non-Legacy, and Balmung is for Legacy. Unfortunately these servers seem to be quite full, preventing me from being able to start a character on them. Are there any other servers with solid RP communities? Or is there some way I might be able to get on the server? Thanks so much!

Welcome there!
Do not worry yourself about the servers being full, there is a restriction on new character creation during certain times - peak of connected PC would be my guess, you only need to try and create your character as what seems like an unusual time and I can assure you, you will find yourself a comfy spot in the RP community. That said, I can only speak for Balmung, I am about 2 months old on the game, 1 with my character on Balmung, and so far it's been a blast!
I suspect you already read about the servers differences, but just in case, know that there is a thread that explains those thoroughly.

Welcome to the RPC!
I must ask, what server do you currently play on WoW? I am on Moon Guard (RP) Horde side.
RE: Howdy Doody! - Whuggles - 04-21-2014
Thanks! I'm on Moon Guard as well! I mainly play Alliance (Night Elf Druid), but I have a boosted Blood Elf Paladin and am looking to make a Tauren...? Or maybe a troll? I'm not entirely sure! When/If I get more serious about Horde roleplay, I'm planning on applying to The Dawnfury Concordant, as I made a couple friends from that guild in the Arathor RP/PvP event.
Edit: Thanks, Haeden. I actually gave it a try this morning before work and quickly sneaked a character in there. Was planning on transferring my 16 Gladiator, but by the time I realized that transfers were closed I had to get ready to head out the door. I'm going to reroll him, but I'm just relieved I at least have one character in there so far
