I read you can't do PM's with the trial.ÂThe free trial is very limited. IIRC, you can't send /tells and cannot join an FC. I'm not sure how else it is limited, but in the meantime, I recommend using this site to make connections, build your character, and organize RP.

I'd like to get a feel for the RP and if I like it, subscribe.The Adventurer's Guild in each major city often have RP, most notably the Quicksand in Ul'dah. I would also suggest browsing the calendar and events subforum on this website to find RP events on the server.
