Hey everyone!Â
I played the beta of A Realm Reborn, transferring over to Balmung with intents to eventually RP when the initial rush of the game died down. However, shortly after getting to 50 as a WHM, I found most of my friends dropped the game quickly and almost at the same time. During that time I really didn't do much other than grind up to 50WHM and finish the barest bones of the main story.Â
I'm not that great at being social, and was even worse then. So since I hate solo playing, and was too shy to look for a FC, I ditched the game and went with my mates to...GW2, I think? But after hearing about the Stormblood expac I got the urge to try FFXIV out again, and of course I'd like to add that RP spice that keeps games interesting when mechanics feel grindy.Â
I'm hoping to pop back in and find a group of people I can relearn the ropes with (Plus pretty much everything that's been added since...the new start of the game, eheh.), along with learning general community stuff (Like I noticed that one tavern in Ul'Dah seems really popular, is there anywhere else that's a popular watering hole for RP wallflowers to people watch?).Â
I vaguely remembered this website existed when I left, so I figured this was a good place to start, since its all about what I really want to be all about, right? So yeah, tons of questions, pretty much clueless about the game/Lore/community/what the heck I was doing before I quit but I'm sure I'll figure everything out in time!
Any tips or suggestions where I could do some reading, or of any other places to get a feel for the Balmung community (Seems like the official forums are pretty dead? Different from WoW's MG forum, at least), etc would be super appreciated!
