So just a general question, what are some things about Eorzean life that you wish you saw people RPing more?
I can get behind you there. I have an Ala Mhigan who is in his 30's and can't write or read much beyond his own name. He has a midlander teen teaching him but I haven't run into too many others with that sort of thing either. Granted I think some races may be more literate than others. I would expect a higher percentage of illiterates among refugees and the more nomadic races like Miqo'te etc.Â
Personally its travel that I'd like to see more of. Most of my people live on ships or travel continuously but I often here people talking about traveling very long distances in a days time (Ul'dah to Gridania etc). Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like teleporting/airships are not common use items going by the opening scenes of the game consisting of us traveling to the city by ship/cart etc. Walking, chocobos, boats and the like seem like they are more common in Eorzea for adventurers and merchants to get around. I'd like to see more people who crew ships or ferries, who travel between towns with supplies and good and the like or even just everyday adventurers on the road.
