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!
