Hello there. Very very new to the game and not even out of trial yet.
I'm a fan of epic fantasy and love reading the big world shaking tales of a small cadre of heroes against a larger than life foe, even more so when there's a little humor mixed in.
I've been role playing in MMOs for years and tend to focus on character development, often posting stories alongside my normal roleplay. Lately I've gotten into a little storytelling but I'm sad to say most of what I come up with is small personal tales that don't extend beyond five people at most, nothing far reaching.
In the past I've avoided the game because I have never played Final Fantasy and the lore felt overwhelming but I heard the role play and the community are both amazing and decided to give it a shot. So far I am loving the gameplay so I am not disappointed, I plan to sign up and try to pop my character over to Balmung where all my friends are.
I'll be playing a Hyur Bard but made a few alts for kicks before I discovered naming conventions.
Anyway a few questions:
How open is everyone to a new player in the group?
How easy is it to transfer to Balmung?
Does everyone get really strict on naming conventions?
How far can I get being lore handicapped?
