Hullo, hydaelyn roleplayers! I am brand-spanking new to this game - so new, in fact, that I haven't even been able to make a character on Balmung yet. Do you guys have any tips for getting in and rolling a character? I've been checking as often as I can, even signed up for email notifications from world-alerts, and there's not been any openings since yesterday. I'd appreciate any advice on this matter, because I'm a long-time roleplayer and I don't want to settle for the second-best RP community in this game!
Thanks in advance.
edit: after looking at this again, I feel maybe I should elaborate a little more. I'm two days into my trial and I haven't gotten to play the game at all yet. I don't want to start a character elsewhere, then be forced to either eat $18 for a server transfer ($36, actually, as I'm playing with my partner IRL) or start over when a slot opens up on Balmung. What's the recommended course of action, here, is what I'm trying to ask. Do I go ahead and play then transfer? How long can I reasonably expect to wait for a slot to open up? I even set an alarm for 6 AM this morning in the hopes of catching a slot in the early hours - I got a slot in Gilgamesh, but nothing on Balmung.
Then I saw a post on here where someone who moved from Gilgamesh to Balmung said "there is an RP community on Gilgamesh, you just have to dig for it." Not what I wanted to hear!
So yeah. I'm open to any and all suggestions. Has anybody else who's started recently (and made it into Balmung) had this problem? When did you get in, exactly? Was it right at one of the times they update the status? Before, after?
Thanks in advance.
