Outdated memes aside...
Hello everyone~ I'm banndsand and we haven't met yet, but I am planning to play the heck out of this game once my exams are all over. In the meantime, I was hoping I could ask some questions about the game, the community, etc. I tend to ramble on, so I'll put some TLDRÂ parts after each question.
1. Balmung and Gilgamesh. Playstyles and personnality.
After looking over these forums, it has become clear to me that Balmung has more RPers in it than Gilgamesh, but I was wondering if anyone has a rough idea of the ratio of RPers to non-RPers in each server. A friend of mine also told me that Legacy servers can be quite difficult to enter as a new player, and that there are some... *whispers quietly, looking suspiciously from side to side* elitists... on some of these servers. Does Balmung, being a Legacy server, present those characteristics as well? I really have no patience for people who like to make fun and look down on others rather than attempt to be nice and possibly help out, which is part of why I love RP communities in general, as they tend to be very nice and welcoming. So I figured maybe Balmung is the exception to the Legacy thing, if that even is a thing, which I'm still skeptical about.
TLDR: What is the ratio of RPer to non-RPer on each server, and is one more open to newbies than the other?
2. Race representation?
FFXIV: ARR being a game in which having alts does not prove to have many, if any, advantages (flexible class system! Yay!), I am finding it difficult to decide which race to play. I'm trying to decide between Miqo'te, Lalafell and Roegadyn (I hope I spelled that right), and have some character ideas for each. What I would like to know is how much each race is played (on each server mentionned previously, if possible), so I can take into account the probability of seeing clones. I've looked at some somewhat dated analyses based on polls, and saw that across all servers, Miqo'te and Hyur are perhaps the most played races, with Roegadyn being the least played. Is this situation similar in Balmung and Gilgamesh? I heard Lalafell was making a comeback. Also if I could know which sex is most played for each, that would help as well.
TLDR: What are the most and least played races on Balmung and/or Gilgamesh specifically?
3. Any tips for someone new to the game, somewhat new to FF lore and a bit less new to RP? :)
Thanks in advance for any answers you may provide. I'm looking forward to playing with you all (or, I suppose, with the portion of you which is on the server I end up making my home).Â
And last, less important, question: Would it be weird if I made a proper introduction thread once I start playing, or should I just use this one?
Thanks again! (You're going to hear this a lot from me, I'm Canadian :PÂ )
