I can see you're on Mateus so I'm sure you'll find all the help you need, as people here are overall very enthused to absorb newcomers into collective whole. I mean that in a good way, mind.Â
Mateus has recently had a surge of incoming new people and transfers from other servers due to bonuses we were given, an act of SE trying to even out server populations on the high pop places like Balmung. It's a great time to join because any new characters you roll will be getting those bonuses and leveling will be a breeze. My advice is try to get your crafting up ASAP as well as your job classes while aforementioned bonuses are in place.
There's been RP on this server for some time, but since it's only recently grown this much, we're still finding our footing in some ways. Lately you can find people RPing at Quicksands (a location in Ul'dah) in the mid-day and evening hours pretty regularly, though you'll have those sticks in the mud who insist to stay away from there because it's full of degenerates, public orgies, yadda yadda. Hyperbole if you ask me, but I digress.Â
The RP scene of private taverns (those in the housing district), RP FCs, RP LSs, and server events is very and increasingly active. Coordination could be a little better here as compared to our sister server Balmung, but it's being worked on and looks incredibly promising. I have nothing but praise for the efforts thus far.Â
Some of the issues you'll encounter here are a vocal minority of RPers that hate both Balmung transfers and even those who have gotten the game recently but started on Mateus because they're feeling territorial for X, Y, Z reason. Tell them to stfu or ignore them, whichever suits you best.Â
As to making connections, it's pretty easy if you put the legwork in. There's a Making Connections sub here I've used with success, and Mateus has its own Mateus Hub discord open to all RPers with channels including one for that, one for server events, among others. The majority of our organization on all fronts seems to occur on there.Â
Hope you like it here!
