Wow, I knew there were nice people here but I never expected so many replies. I want to thank everyone here for showing me warm greetings and helpful advice. I hope to seek your guidance/teachings in the future. Treat me as a mold if you desire lol.
I'm not sure how to quote replies since I'm still new to everything. I'm not even aware of macro-language. Chicken Nugger: I wasn't aware I was being enthusiastic but thank you! I hope to see you around too. If you do find me, do harass me! I won't mind! This is my absolute first time RPing with more than one people or a whole server. I'm not even sure how many RPers are there in Balmung lol. Steel Wolf: Thank you for the welcome! I'm not sure about "just get out there and do it" lol. In between classes, I sneaked into the server (still feel like a dream to me!) and just watched people around me as I walked. I seen so many chats and I'm not sure how to jump in. I'm truly very shy online. Heck, this is my first forum in a long time. I do not know about Making Connections, I will check that out! Thanks! Warren Castille: If you need my fortune, I'll gladly give it to you! I'm not sure about being lucky. RNG can screw me tremendously so many times lol. A nightmare you say? It still felt like a dream to me! Kellach Woods: There's that enthusiasm again! To be honest, I'm not familiar with that word and this is the first that you guys mention to me. I do read rumors about how players were treated snobbishly by elitists. I'm thrilled that everyone is so nice here. Enzo: Thousand thanks for your advices. I'll keep them in mind! They're very useful links. Since I'm out of school, I'll begin reading them soon, Sir Enzo. I don't mind being a background character since I enjoy finding new stories everyday. Like everyone here probably, I loathed Mary Sue and Gary Stu to the maximum lol. Flaws are the best character traits inside and outside. And may I ask where can I post character idea for advice? And I'm not even sure I can answer 100 questions but I'll do my best! Ligardian Dreamer: Thank you for words of comfort! I was unsure if I have to memorize the entire lore. It's comforting to know that I only need to understand the basics. And I'm really shy! Like I mentioned, this is my first forum in a long time. The last forum scarred me with bullying from very overzealous fangirls. It didn't help me that the moderator took their side when the rules clearly stated that no insults should be allowed. Honestly, I would love people come up to me instead of me taking the first step lol. I'm that shy and invisible lol. Lyrik: Sweet?! That's the first anyone ever said that to me! I'm not that great lol! I hope I'll form an addiction too! Everyone here is so friendly, it just lighten up my day really! Sounsyy: *not sure what to do in the presence of the almighty. Bows clumsily* Melodia: *bows again to Sounsyy* Oh thanks for the welcome! Cliodhna Eoghan: *not sure what to do with the hug* Thanks for the cookies! White chocolate are my fav! I'll keep you in mind if I need help leveling up in the game! Should I focus on leveling first or just jump right in? Zhavi: W-w-w-what?! I'm not adorable! Have you seen my avatar? Does that look adorable to you? XD Roen: What's adorable about me??! Ralyon: There's that enthusiasm again! I'm not even sure I'm an enthusiastic person! I'm just so excited to be here and so anxious to make friends. To be honest, my instant message RP buddy is my only close friend. I have casual web friends...(again through my friend's connections) but I usually talk to them once....in six months? I do have a good friend whose like a brother to me but he does not have the same interests as me. I can truly expect him to have my back but he probably won't be watching Anime or play video games with me anytime soon XD! I hope we can help each other out. Faye: Thank you for the welcome! And I'm glad to be....refreshing? XD. Quick questions. Can you send private messages to people or friends who are not online? Also...how do you save logs of your RP? And I'm not sure how to post screenshot here lol. Sorry! You'll have to see my avatar to see what my character look like! |

Honestly, I would love people come up to me instead of me taking the first step lol. I'm that shy and invisible lol. If you're just quoting one person, there's a little thing under their post where, if you hover over it, you'll see one bit that says, "Quote this in a reply" and another that says "quote this" or something like that..... The latter is used when you're quoting multiple people. So, in your case of quoting multiple people, just click the + like if you're queuing them up... and then if you click "Post reply" afterwards, you'll see if it works if you see that there's more than one quote shown on your message draft. Anyway, don't let it take away your drive to learn about the lore though! It definitely would help to be in the known of some things =3Â I hear ya about the shy thing... I, too, would prefer to be approached because I'm kinda insecure over the idea that I'm just an uninterested person and that they only accept the approach just to be nice.... I mean I'm 100% sure that no one in the game is like that! I'm sure they'll genuinely accept the approach and even welcome it too! It's just that's one of the kind of anxieties that I gotta deal and fight with ><; Hehe... But you seem particularly liked here considering how many people responded to you so I'm sure that you'll be just fine >X3 You can leave private messages here to people even if they're offline. As for saving logs of your rp; if you're talking ingame, you have to manually do so unfortunately... What I had to do was to go to an inn room, enlarge the chat window, and just copy and paste the messages onto a word document (the game doesn't give the satisfaction of allowing you to auto-scroll as you're highlighting though so be prepare to have to divide up what you copy and paste and do your best to keep track of where you left off as you scroll down the convo window >w<; ) Post screenshots? Uhh, in game, there's the printscreen button to take a snapshot. The source of the screenshots you take, from there, should be somewhere in your game folder (I don't remember the directory but when you go to the game folder for FFXIV, there should be a folder that says Screenshots.... FYI, you can go adjust certain settings so that you can pick another location on where the screenshots will be saved and stored for your convenience). Wiki page:

I can't speak for everyone else but I probably misread the tone of your post and interpreted all this excited and anxious energy as enthusiasm. I'll infect you with my excess enthusiasm if have to as well. You're new blood and this community tends to help out the new blood when we can. Yes even new blood like me will try to help.Â
So how rich is your character...does he know any brilliant get gil quick schemes? I'll also drop this little tidbit from one noob to another. If you're shy about jumping in just send that person a tell. /tell *player name* Hello can I join in your conversation? Or Hello, can I perhaps interest you in some RP? or here's a magic tell /tell Kurt Steel Hey you there why are you a woman? /tell to win, Ludger Kresnik /tell to win. The characters just standing there just as shy as you are or simply winding down, or looking for a quick spot of RP. OOC communication is sometimes important too and if you managed to churn out this thread then I have full confidence you can pull off OOC communication too. JOO CAN DOO EET |

Hi Ludger!
I am new, too, as of last week. I think you speak so openly for a lot of people who struggle to make it on Balmung--it's a special place to be. I've been RPing for a long time, but the people on this server are so good and so numerous that I feel I am starting from the basics. The game itself... It's amazing. There is so much love put into the game and the world and it radiates out. I really hope you will love it like I have for the past week and half I have been playing. The best way to get started (from someone who spent weeks reading INSANE amounts of lore before even hitting Lv10 and was worried and obsessing about being good or being accurate) just... hop in. People are so nice, and the game is so wonderful that you will feel quickly overwhelmed with all the amazement this game has to offer. Take your time and don't worry. Read all the quests. They will teach you the true lore, not just interpretations. Read a lot, and, as a fellow introvert, take things slow and really absorb them. The experience is so immersive and rich--visually and narratively. I'm on a lot as the character Kamome Greywing and I am still learning the game, too. There is so much to learn for a beginner--more than in any MMO I have ever played. You are really brave for going for it and striking out on your own after usually playing with a friend. I'm sure you're already making a lot of new friends! See you in Eorzea! Kamome |

i hug cute things; get used to it :3
hmm...well honestly i first focused really really REALLY heavy on content and didn't rp much till i had one class near maxed out and the other about half....but it's your choice. it can be easy to get burnt out running fates/dungeon grinding or omg the cut scenes >.>; (don't get me wrong i love this game but half the time it felt like watching a movie. xD ) i will at least suggest you get yourself leveled/past main story quest far enough to unlock the airships; that way you have access to the three major areas (and then can run to attune to all the smaller crystals scattered around) unlock the housing wards for said areas and get the ball rollin on earning your chocobo if you don't have a mount already (sorry but i don't recall if you said you have the CE or not and those came with two? mounts early) that way if you feel like you need to take a break from content or want to jump in; you'll be able to move as needed if the rp heads that way. (since we tend to rp all over the map sometimes depending on what's going on ic :3) plus a lot of ic events are held in various fc houses and walking there sucks. .___. but don't feel you have to do it this way; you can always start rping before that list of stuff above is done; just hang out in the quicksand or around there. if you target people, a lot of them will say "walk up welcome" or chances they'll walk up to you so no need to be shy! you can always send them a tell as well to as if they'd like to rp :3 and if there's ever anything you're unsure of lore-wise, don't hesitate to ask either your partner in tells or open a tab fast to look it up; it's a lifesaver xD too sexy to keep unhidden |

I...I have this very strong feeling you appreciate the Tales series. I'm not quite sure why. But if you do, I'm sure we'll be great friends.
With that said, welcome! If you need anything feel free to get in touch with me if you can find me (Shiina Ayana), and I'd be happy to RP with ya! Totally willing to help you level to, if that's something you're interested in. :3 |

It's a little unnerving, I don't blame you X3 Hehe..... Yo, that's good to hear man. Well I'm sure you'll develop some connections here ingame...Some that you may even consider as close as well. I do agree on the whole better to have few close friends than having so many casual one... Albeit, not so bad but the key, here, is just having those you're close to among the many friends... Which I'm sure that you'll make X3Â Kudos for RP and RPGs FTW~ Eh... Your best bet would be to try to zoom into your character as close as you can... But I don't believe you can get it to your face... Not to my knowledge at least. Wiki page:
