Oh wait it's right here. Not new to either FFXIV or RP but haven't tried RP in FFXIV. I have no character on Balmung or Gilgamesh at the moment and am waiting for new character creation to open up again so I can look around and get a feel for the general environment. I have friends over on Cactuar

that I regularly play with and have no desire to spend money on a transfer and leave them behind, so I could be waiting a while based on what my google searching has told me.

Habitually I'm fairly quiet on forums at first so my name isn't going to show up very often outside of the online users list. I'm planning on lurking for a bit and doing some reading in the meantime. I'm interested in what's going on here, I just need some time to take it in, bang out a character concept into something workable, and figure out if I'd enjoy it.

Pictured: four horns sticking out of my character's head and half of them are natural. Technically. This character was a moon Miqo'te before I bought HW and received a Fantasia. If I didn't have the big sword to work with I'd just ram my face into my enemies and it would probably work out.

Hey hey, welcome! Nothing wrong with lurking, I was that way myself for a few months.

I hope you can get into Balmung!

Update: I managed to get my planned alt onto Gilgamesh this morning but I'm going to try again to get onto Balmung over the next few days anyway. I'd read somewhere (I think on the original post that announced the transfer service?) that there's a three day time limit before a new character is allowed to transfer, so if I fail to create a character on Balmung by the weekend I'll probably just suck it up and eat the fee. I'm getting paid this week anyway.

Although, my google-fu has been giving me mixed results on whether it's possible to transfer to a server not accepting new characters. The aforementioned official post says no, but I've seen claims on Steam and Reddit that say it IS possible and I don't know which is right without doing it myself. Also all of that information was at least a year old or longer. Can someone clarify that for certain?

You can transfer characters to Balmung, yes. More importantly, if your account permits multiple characters on the same server, you can transfer up to the entire load of 8 characters at one time for the same single transfer fee. So if you think you might ever play an alt, make them all in advance and transfer in a batch to save money.

That I didn't know! I'll keep that in mind.

I seem to have misplaced my hello.
