Â Then, I'll either PM them to see if they'd like to meet sometime, or poke them in-game, and see if their character might be around somewhere where mine could meet up with them. Â It was a little work initially getting in contact with them all, and some attempts never worked out, or I wouldn't ever get anything back from them. Â But that said, a lot did work out too, and I've had a decent amount of RP since I started, so it IS perfectly possible to never set foot in the Quicksand, and still RP if that's what your character would do.

Taverns in general are probably the best place to go and look, and that can be in any city (Gridania, Limsa, Ul'dah), but I've definitely seen RP happening 'out in the field' too, where my character is more likely to be. Â I'll often meet people in weird places outside of cities, being somewhere in the world, near ruins, around odd Aetherical formations / crystals, etc. Â Which would be good for the adventures you'd mentioned wanting.

Another answer I'm very glad to see! While Elara does enjoy her adventures, she's from a small town and the excitement/crowds of the larger cities can be a bit dizzying for her! I certainly don't think I'll have her avoid them entirely, but she will probably stick to the less-crowded areas more often than the social hubs. Though, initially, I might have her visit a few times to see what's what in Ul'dah.
First, however, I need to get all of that OOC stuff out of the way - like opening up the airship pass!
