So let me begin this with saying that I have played FF all through my childhood and up to present (I will be turning 29 this week). Among my other hobbies is hiking and most specifically Pathfinder (D&D). I usually DM and love the roleplay aspect of it.
I'm only telling you this to get to my main point. I started a couple weeks in beta P3 and really love it, but the idea of roleplaying my Lalafell speaks to me as a pathfinder player. So i joined this forum to see where the servers would be so that I could try out roleplaying upon the new launch.
This in turn connects us to the touchy subject. Server choice. I don't know which to pick... primary or secondary as I see the regulars refer to it. It brings me some anxiety to play on a legacy server that is connected to a possibility of elitism, potential lower population size.
Yet it seems Balmung is most RP'ers will go so then I'm worried if I go to Gilgamesh I won't be able to experience a true RP experience on FF14:ARR. I especially think the idea of roleplaying a family (ie. distant cousins/mother-son/etc...) would be awesome.
I keep going back and forth... quite unsure of what to do.
Which leads to my final point, which is why I created this topic (as my first post no less): Is it not possible to have a discussion(perhaps a meta thread?) on this subject? The few scattered discussions I found are what I need to make any informed and measured decision rather than act upon my gut feeling at a time.
I just want to be able to read this forums discussion on the matter without it being locked after a few pages... I might be able to come to a decision that way.
